Truly great coffee and wonderful employees! We were on vacation and driving from Fork to Seattle and got a massive list of non-touristy recommendations from our barista. The pastries looked amazing but I wasn't hungry so I had to pass, I can say with some confidence that I recommend them even without trying them. read more

People in Washington are funny about coffee. I didn't realize Olympians are crazy about their coffee. I mean loco crazy. Olympia Coffee Roasting has a cult following and I had to see why. One trip a year ago has lead me down the path and to join the ranks of PNW loco coffee snobs. This magic they do here is amazing. read more

Olympia coffee roasting company has the best coffee in Olympia! Possibly the entire United States! They are heavy on African coffees however I would like to see more from central and south America. Oliver does a great job roasting and blending without burning the beans. There is no gross chalk-like texture or campfire ask flavor in the coffee due to the care given by the roasters and staff. The new location is fun. I don't find myself here very often as the Wildwood location is closer to home. I buy my beans for home there - or at Spuds- which has a house blend made for them by Oly Roaster. Can't miss! (Even if you're not a hipster). read more

Love this place. Very pleasant people that work here these people really care. Love the smell of the coffee. Great place!!!

I have been fortunate enough to have had Olympia Coffee Roasting Company coffee several times. I have to admit I have actually stopped off at Bayview Thriftway a couple times just for a cup of their coffee. read more

There is simply nowhere else I will go for coffee. I've tried a lot of local third-wave shops from Seattle down to Portland, and this place is my favorite. It's a bit small, but there never seems to be a huge crowd. My wife and I come here every Saturday. Highly recommended to any coffee lover in driving distance and anyone from out of town that's coming through this way. read more

We stopped along the way to camping. It was worth it. Not far off interstate. Service was attentive and nice. They ground some up for us since we forgot to pack it. Regular Latte was great and even my decaf tastes good. Four star only because pastry selection at 4:30pm was low which is usually the case at most places. read more

Best place in town, hands down! After calling several other places to see what they used for chocolate in their mochas, this was the 1st one that used an acceptable product. In fact, they make their own! Every other place just used some pre packaged garbage like moni or ghiradelli syrup. 1 even used hershey's. However, when this place told us they made their own with Cocoa powder and a little bit of sugar, I know it was the right place. Upon arriving, this place was awesome. In fact, they even had a coffee cup going on in their cupping room at 10:00 a.m.. The guy running that was very knowledgeable and friendly. The cupping was a great experience for my wife and me. We will definitely be back here next time we are in the area. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. read more

Great coffee, great service. Top notch stands. Highly recommended. The pastries here are quality. I have never been disappointed by the baristas. I will return to support this company as it is first rate. read more

I am in love with this place. Wether you need a quick stop with amazing coffee or to sit in a clean space to study and enjoy a mug full of awesomeness this is where you should go. You HAVE TO try the almond croissant. It is to die for. Their coffee is made for real coffee people so if you need it sweeter, add the homemade vanilla syrup! I love it! read more

Get the drip coffee... excellent! Staff are knowledgeable and friendly and willing to help with any recommendations. Great coffee, can take a while and crowded.... read more

Excellent coffee! Great selection, and the place is really light, and open, and cute. Barista training was great there. Ethical sourcing. I bring people here when they visit from out of town. read more

One of the most unique atmospheres I have been at for coffee. The facility has no secrets, you can see everything that goes on from the open glass bean roasting facility to the class room and the barista station. They have a unique twist of coffee, decor and pastry. I went three days in a row when I was in the area and never left unsatisfied. Thumbs up! read more

Top 5 cups of coffee of my life. Cool robot pour over machine. Log tooth stool things. read more

I don't drink coffee. In general, it smells good but tastes bad. My cousin is a coffee junkie. She quickly determined this was the best place in town. I've accompanied her here many times and would order hot chocolate or tea. The tea selection does not vary, and it is small, but the flavor of the teas are perfect. The jasmine is very floral and not bitter at all. The blueberry rooibos tastes like blueberry. And the ginger tea is what I need when I'm feeling under the weather. The hot chocolate is very unique. It isn't super sweet like the crap in a packet. It is true chocolate, with an intense flavor that is almost floral rather than sugary. My biggest compliment, however, is for their coffee. Over the course of my three decades, many people have offered me sips of coffee, incredulous that I don't care for it. Every time I try someone's coffee, I inform them that no, I still don't like it. Except here. My cousin's vanilla latte (with house made vanilla syrup) is the only coffee I have ever voluntarily taken a second sip of. It was delicious. read more

I call this the gem of Olympia. I was so surprised we actually have an amazing coffee place. They are on par with any roasters in Seattle or Portland. Everything I've tried here has been delicious, no joke. All roasts, even the pastries (I like how their macarons are dense, almost buttery), and hot chocolate (one of the best in WA!) made with real chocolate and not too sweet. After the remodeling, the interior looks great too. read more

Olympia Coffee - The only coffee place where hot chocolate is an exception! Yum! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

I've been to countless coffee shops / roasters, and this is my favorite place. Any excuse to stop by here and have one of their perfected espresso drinks! The baked goods are excellent as well. I also buy their beans regularly. read more

Great tasting coffee. Nice employees. always feel welcome. Haven't tried the pastries but they do look good

I took my daughters here based on reviews. I wasn't impressed on service or on drinks. The drinks were not sweetened at all (we ordered a white chocolate mocha, a regular mocha, and a kid's hot chocolate). The coffee itself was decent, nothing too exciting but they should have either warned us or have something posted that they do not sweeten the drinks. We would have enjoyed the drinks much more if we had known we'd need to sweeten them ourselves. read more

I would love to rate this business on its product but after 15 minutes of standing at the counter unacknowledged by the staff I was forced to leave (meter ran out). I'm not positive but I suppose I'm not hipster enough for the staff to help me? They sure helped those who came in after and walked right to the front of the line. I would have spoken to a manager but again the meter ran out and Oly Meter Maids are ruthless! But I digress. I'd love to try the coffee some time but I suppose I'll have to grow a beard and invest in skinny jeans and a flannel before I return. read more

THE BEST COFFEE!!!!! I love coffee, and I am a self confessed coffee snob. These guys KNOW their stuff! I drive 20-30minutes to get their coffee. They also cater to lactose and gluten free diets too. These guys rock! read more

I love the atmosphere at OCR. The pourovers here are excellent, but I am not a fan of their espresso. Pastries are delicious!! Always attentive staff, but you will most likely have a bit of a wait before getting your coffee. Once you make it to the front of the line, all of the baristas attention is on you, which is nice. They definitely aim to please and have great customer service. read more

Love this place. Didn't love the oat milk latte. When I asked if I could swap it out for something else they refused - which was surprising. Seems like that's coffee shop etiquette 101 (if it's not right, they'll make it again). read more

Even in a coffee town like Olympia, this place stands out -- outstanding coffee! The care with which they prepare every single shot of espresso, weighing it out perfectly for maximum quality, just blew me away. Very knowledgeable staff, friendly, spacious, airy, happy. Each cup of espresso was accompanied by a small glass of sparkling water, just to help you refresh your palate -- epic. Not a place to miss. read more

Friendly, endearing staff, excellent coffee. I hear more languages spoken here than almost anywhere else in Olympia. read more

Nice open atmosphere with plenty of outlets and a wonderful, friendly staff. It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. read more

Great coffee, love the updated store front. Glad to see the company is successful, they came from humble grounds, haha, a great pun. Enjoy!

Great coffee and great service. Loved the atmosphere and the pastries they had to offer, will be returning.

Sorry, but for all the awards i wasnt impressed. The pour over coffee was sour. The capacino was not hot and weird tasting. We got a green tea to go to at least clean our palette. read more

Nuts! I wrote a review on the wrong OCRC. Let's see what I can say differently. The double toilet bathroom is a hoot. We can go together and not break our conversation. TMI? If I had the prioritize my thoughts it would go something like this. #1 Cortado. That's the Spanish word for heaven in a glass. #2 baristas. That's the Spanish word for authentically friendly and knowledgeable coffee creators. #3 Atmosphere. That's the German word for feeling comfortable and welcomed in a place. #4 Croissants. That's the Japanese word for holy hell these things are magically delicious. Finally #5 Location. That's the Hindi word for "hey, nice location." I love this place. read more

has been my favorite café for years!!!! great quality every time + regular staff is always very sweet. went by today tho and saw some girl (maybe new?) who seemed very annoyed by my order ): second staff had to take care of the rest of my order who was much more friendly. doesn't change my rating of the place!!! just some customer service issues. read more

The taste of the coffee is above all others I've had. I love that they have delicious bakery items from other local businesses. If you are looking for a place with character that has quality food and drink, this is the place to go! read more

Great breakfast burritos and strong coffee - nice staff. What more can you want? Go support them during this COVID B.S.

I go to this place all the time! Obviously the coffee is good, but the pourover I got here kind of blew my mind - I usually take some milk in my coffee but I could actually see myself drinking it black, it smelled like berries!? Totally different experience from regular drip coffee. They also have a nice range of teas from Rishi (I've been liking the turmeric-ginger one lately) and a truly fabulous pastry case from Left Bank Pastry (which is a different review, but they're an authentic french patisserie - I lived in France for a few years and they're the real deal). Service is always great - chill and friendly. Decor is modern but still welcoming. I always see people in here studying, or friends hanging out, people of all ages, etc - really nice coffeehouse atmosphere. read more

Coffee priced as normal but they go the extra mile and puts nice pictures in the foam. I believe it's with the money . The baristas are really nice and friendly. read more

This place was a godsend on a recent dreery morning when I needed a place to study for a couple of hours. I felt a little guilty occupying one of their few tables for that long, but there was at least one table open the whole time I was there, and another person using his laptop for the duration, so maybe it was ok. The coffee was HEAVEN. I had some Guatemalen, and each cup was lovingly fresh brewed to order- awesome. The man working was very friendly and laid back. The place is definitely set up as a roasting co., per the name, and not so much as a coffeeshop to hang out at all day. That being said, they were perfectly kind to me, which I greatly appreciated, as I had never been to Olympia before and was basically stranded downtown for a few hours while my fiance worked in the area. I will look for their beans around Tacoma, and stop back in next time we're in the area! read more

I believe that Olympia Coffee Roasters serve the finest coffee in the world. They spare no expense in providing the finest beans from around the globe. Go there with an open mind and prepare to taste the future of coffee. read more

Call it ignorance... but this place is not for me. It was way too pretentious and I felt like I was in the middle of a Portlandia sketch. I had 15 minutes to spare in between meetings and needed a quick pick me up. So I walked in and asked for a drip coffee... oh no... "we brew every cup individually" For real?! OK, I'll try it. (The staff was very friendly BTW) They had beakers, flasks, scales; the whole thing... it was like Walter White switched from Meth to Coffee "I am the one who brews - Call me Juan Heisenberg!" When I finally got my cup of coffee it seemed weak, bitter, and it was $3! I understand how people could get into the science of coffee, so if that's you, then this is your place. But it was over my head. It's kind of like when Marty Mcfly played his heavy metal rendition of Johnny B' Good... maybe I'm just not ready for it yet, but my kids are going to love it. read more

Seriously, every time I am going through Olympia, I ALWAYS stop at this place. Everything about it is perfect - the drinks, the employees, the music, its lack of pretension - it's great. I was, and still am, deliriously happy because of the Olympia Coffee Roasting Company. read more

One of my favorite spots ever! Their coffee is incredible, especially their lattes. Sure it is hard to mess up a latte but theirs is just so velvety smooth! I suggest you try anything in their menu, im certain it will be delicious! read more
