Cute interior. Solid coffee. Quick service. This place is easy to get to from highway 5 between Portland and Seattle. Offers a great spot to stop for coffee and restrooms. read more

I think this is the best coffee shop/cafe that I've been to. Friendly service and a great environment to be in. Let me tell you about the coffee though... I ordered the caramel latte and IT WAS AMAZING! The flavor of the coffee was so rich. It was strong enough to keep me going for the rest of the day, but not too overpowering to make me jittery. They also have a bathroom and complimentary water on the side. I'm pretty sure they have wifi since a few people were using their laptops, but I never checked. read more

Second visit - fine cappuccino, experienced baristas and interesting version of Kouign Amman - unconventional, but very tasty!

5/5 customer service 5/5 coffee flavor 5/5 atmosphere 5/5 experience overall. They always serve a good cup of coffee or tea! I love their setup and atmosphere. It's a nice place to read a book, study, or have a quiet chat with a friend. Perfect place to grab a cup of joe on a date and walk around downtown (during the day time hours). Love their selection of coffee beans to take home too. read more

Got my gift card today! I think the key factor was communicating through the account I made online. read more

Delightful service, particularly for 6:30am!! Great selection of pastries and excellent brew. Love this spot.

My favorite location of my favorite coffee brand. This OCR is SO cozy. While it doesn't have as many single origin coffee options to try as the main downtown location, the ambiance is what I go for. In college I would spend hours studying here. read more

Loved this place. Visited right before the pandemic hit, Great location with a really cool cafe. I get their coffee at a few places in Seattle and have enjoyed their beans. The service was very good. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

I'm a regular customer here and was shocked when I bought a 12 oz. mocha and two pastries that the price was over $21. There are no posted prices for the pastries, so of course I asked the cashier why on earth the price was so unreasonable. I don't mind spending a little more to shop and support local businesses, but over $21 for a mocha and two pastries is totally unreasonable unless you've got so much money that it's no object. The attitude of the people working there when I asked about the prices was hostile. In fact, the person who was waiting on me WALKED AWAY in the middle of the transaction, before I asked about the prices. I don't think I'll go back anytime in the near future. The prices are out of touch with the reality of how much things cost individuals. read more

This coffee place also has really good hot tea. I recommend their English Breakfast. Need to go early if you want a pastry.

Coffee was terrible. Tasted like dirt and I normally drink black coffee. Also ridiculously expensive. 6$ for a 12 oz coffee. The place was clean and the people were nice that's the only reason this isn't a 1 star review read more

Cool place and great service I would definitely go here if we are in the area again We only got 2 nitro cold brews so we are not experts on their menu read more

Great atmosphere, good coffee and treats. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Recommend to visitors looking for local coffee

Quiches are yummy and so are a lot of their pastries. I don't believe they make them, they come from a vendor but I'm glad they have them. Lots of different roasts to choose from. Glad there are multiple locations. read more

I gave them 1 star based on their coffee - not their great customer service. They do not offer anything other than very acidic medium roasts. There is a trend amongst high end coffee shops to abandon the traditional dark roasts because they are more common and less exclusive. This shop is a prime example. I went in and asked for a drip coffee with their darkest roast. Their darkest roast was somewhere in the medium range. It was very acidic and left me with terrible cotton mouth and heartburn like all light roasts tend to do. Very unpleasant to drink. So much so that I went to starbucks right afterwards because even though starbucks isn't great - it's not AWFUL. Advice to shop: Get some dark roasts so your customers can drink your coffee without getting cotton mouth and heartburn. Some customers hate light roasts (my wife and I). read more

My wife and I love our weekend ritual getting drinks at Olympia Coffee. While she typically gets a Vanilla Latte, I always get excited for the seasonal drink. Fortunately for Olympia Coffee, they got me hooked on the Lavender Latte. Unfortunately for everyone, they've replaced it with some bummers (Sweater Weather and Orange something). Time to bring back the lavender! Still five stars for an awesome staff and decadent, twice-baked almond croissants. read more

Absolutely lovely and such a charming shop! I wish I lived in Oly so I could come here more often, it would definitely be my go-to stop for coffee! I got a Mocha and a croissant, and they were both perfect. Friendly staff as well. :) I only wish the music was a bit louder, it was so quiet when i first walked in that it felt kind of awkward. Minor detail though. :) read more

On my way back up to Seattle and needed a little pick me up. Found this place not to far off of I-5. The barista was a bit on the low energy side, he looks like he must be college kid so he's probably fried from cramming for finals, i won't hold that against him. If it was just about the coffee I would give this place 5 stars, it was very good actually. I give an overall rating of 4 stars because it has a somewhat blah vibe to the space, with a little work on there part this could be a 5 in my book. Thanks guys read more

This place is the real deal. They take pride in the coffee they make, and they have both the skill and equipment to make fantastic coffee. I usually know it's a good sign when a cappuccino or straight espresso is served with a side of seltzer water - they want you to cleanse your palate between sips because there's complexity in the espresso to explore. And since they do a lot of light-to-medium roasts here, you'll definitely be tasting the coffee and not just the roast. One of my favorite coffee bars in town. In terms of craft I might even like them more than Batdorf and Bronson, my goto place. read more

Great seasonal latte, enjoyed the rose petals they sprinkled on top. got one of their breakfast sandwiches and thought it was pretty good for an on the go sandwich. Close by shops if you are looking to sip coffee while shopping:) read more

Olympia Coffee Roasting is a great stop when traveling from PDX to Seattle. Great space and vibe to enjoy their various coffee offerings. My favorite is the affogato, 2 scoops of ice cream with 2 shots of expresso. Nice place to relax. High ceiling, large windows. Tables and seating that allows you to work if necessary. Service is fast, friendly and efficient. read more

1. Location: 4/5. Good location. A quiet neighbor. 2. Service: 5/5. Excellent. 3. Quality: 5/5. Very very good! I ordered a cup of hot Americano. It is even so good to drink in cold. 4. Price: 3.5/5. Pricy. But worth it. # Strongly recommend this place! read more

The coffee tastes amazing! I always want a second one when I hang out here. There is space to set up your laptop, the music is exactly what I expect at a Café and it's just cool here. There is also a bench outside with little "tables" to put your coffee on. I just wish there were more healthy snack options and not just pastries. read more

Olympia Coffee - The sign on the outside - Cafes Near Me - Olympia, Washington

please take good care of the two people that are working at the time that I am leaving the review. I will I always try and stop by on my way home from visiting family in Seattle as I travel back to Portland. Today I was in a really bad and sad mood, and I walked in feeling really shy, and the two burritos were so kind to me even though I probably wasn't giving up great vibes. I should have told him myself, but I hope this review reaches them. read more

Cortado. Mic dropped. Okay it's picked up again. Croissants. Mic dropped again. Okay. One more time. The baristas are the friendliest and most knowledgeable I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. There. Mic dropped and rolled away. read more

When living in Olympia it was hard to find places where all the other TESC students weren't, but luckily since I have a car I was able to escape and came across this nook. A little hidden gem up on Capitol hill in the fancy neighborhood. It's a bright open space, plenty of outlets, strong WIFI, and has good coffee. read more

Such a laid back crew! Polite and patient. I'm so indecisive and just wanted to try everything! Pretty coffees that taste as good as they look! Wide selection of munchies and I'll be back every morning to be sure I get through everything and try all the goods! read more

Decent, nothing to complain about. Nice staff, I miss the couches they used to have, now it's just stiff tables :(

Have been re-acquainting myself with local area businesses and so glad Olympia Coffee is still with us. Right now they have a Honey Lavender Latte special I highly recommend. Business is friendly, clean, cheerful and a great experience. Suggest a nice stroll from Bucks Herbs to Rainy Day Records and Orca Books, over to 5th for coffee at Olympia Coffee Roasters. Really peaceful. read more

OCR's coffee is my favorite in town, but I'm on a mission to call out Oly businesses with objectionable tipping policies. I'm not a stingy tipper. I always tip $1 per drink because I think the barista skills are amazing: consistently delicious coffee, masterfully poured with either an artful foam I'm incapable of reproducing or the specific dryness I request. But, during the height of the pandemic OCR required a 15% tip for all purchases. My income was slashed to a mere 40% and I kissed lattes goodbye while occasionally treated myself to a bag of whole bean coffee. Groceries. They demanded a 15% tip and lost a customer for some time. When things picked back up and I returned for my first prepared drink in ages, I also purchases a pastry. I bought 2 drinks and the barista asked if I would like to leave a tip to which I replied, of course! $2. They angrily snapped back at me that the minimum was 15% which was 10 more cents all for extra trouble of putting a pastry in a bag for me. I wish I had the presence of mind to have said nevermind, no tip. I don't know what the treatment is like for OCR employees but with a snap like that I have to assume that while OCR has the cash to expand across the Puget Sound region their employees seem a little stressed and the tipping policy was a no. The discussion has been had. Bring an end to tipping culture and be proud to pay employees a living wage. read more

Their hot chocolate is amazing. And he made a little design on the top with the cream! I also got their chocolate chip cookie and a pink meringue cookie. Both were really good. Very laid back, quiet atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing during my lunch :) read more

Amazing coffee!! Road tripping always looking for an amazing cup and this did not disappoint!! I'll be back next time! Thank you

One of the baristas here is so nice! I wish I knew her name (she has short hair) She was the sweetest, and she triple checked that mom was going to get decaf coffee due to health reasons. Always love coming here! I still love coming here after all these years. It's the first coffee place I come to after being out of town for so long. I need to try the other locations, but this one will always be my favorite. read more

We are visiting Olympia and were told to try this coffee shop and we are so happy we did. The baristas were very friendly and helpful. I got a pour over coffee (which was delicious) and my mother got a latte (which was also delicious). We tried their macaroon and it was the best I ever had. I suggest trying one while you are there! Cute decor and a great ambience. I would recommend everyone going here. Also, I bought a shirt and it was decently priced...under $20. read more

The 3rd location of this truly local micro-roaster is modern, clean and still hip. They represent the 2013 Micro-Roaster of the Year for good reason. Starbucks will never be the same after you get hooked on this roast and these talented barristers. We don't how many locations it takes before little becomes too big, but they are safe with this 3rd joint. There are tables & chairs as well as a bar with stools overlooking the espresso or the outside windows. The lighting is natural with the large windows flowing around the open designed interior. But it's all about the coffee, which is grand! Their POS is a iPad which allows for credit card sales on Square. read more

I happened into this very clean and well organized establishment today with a friend. The coffee was excellent. The counter people were friendly and helpful. I like checking Yelp to learn what is around. I found the Olympia Coffee Roasting Co. via Yelp. Thanks Yelp. I would go to this coffee shop again. read more

It really is the best coffee in oly. They don't do Foo Foo coffee. It is very simple but very good. When I say simple, it isn't in a bad way. It is just pure good coffee. I've even transitioned away from my espresso drinks and prefer their pour over coffee. This place has turned me into a coffee snob. Perhaps Stumptown is the only other coffee joint that can rival OCR. read more

I was in town on business and I had an hour to kill, so I decided to come by. I had heard of their beans and was happy to find that they had a café ten minutes away from the firm I was visiting. Had the cappuccino and a double espresso. The cappuccino was perfect- the milk was foamy but dense at the same time, in a way that I've never tasted. The espresso itself was subtle, with a hint of brightness. I enjoyed it for a bit while I got some work done, and then followed up with an espresso. I was expecting a quality shot, but what the barista presented me with was almost a full ounce of crema. It was so delicious and packed with bright, intense citrusy flavor. How did they do that? So much crema! I would drive down from Seattle for this. I really would. read more

A serious coffee shop. In a very friendly manner, the baristas give careful attention to every cup. They also offer impressive sweet and savory edibles worthy of accompanying your cup. Olympia Coffee Roasting (any location) raises the bar on coffee shops. Reason to stop, visit and perhaps move to Olympia. read more

Coffee is really good! The barista was very knowledgable about his coffee and he made a wicked soy latte and the foam was perfect :) The only complaint I would have is that they don't have any other milk alternative other than soy milk. Oh, and for snackies the only options are muffins, loafs, or some version of sugar loaded baked gluten-full pastries. I like how they're just trying to keep it simple, but add a little more options for us GF/vegan/vegetarian granola eaters :) But over all, yummy cup of joe :) read more
