    Not sure why this place can't figure out how to do a dry cappuccino. I ordered dry, and got some lazy, half wet, half dry POS. Not the first time this has happened here. For 6$ they should figure it out. Attaching some pics so maybe someone that makes coffee here and figure it out.

    Cortado with a free shot of sparkling water

    Cute coffee shop! Came by after doing some shopping in the area. Got the cortado and it was really good. Quality expresso beans and they give you a free shot of sparkling water to wash it down. Also tried the green tea latte and they did a real nice flavor to it. Barista was real friendly and patient with us as we tried to decide what to order. Much better than that huge chain coffee shop that starts with an "S"!!!"

    Black sesame hazelnut latte

    This place is cute and serves unique coffee drinks in Proctor. I tried the black sesame hazelnut latte. This may sound silly but it was like a warm hug. The space is a little tight for seating but a nice convenient spot to meet for coffee with friends.

    Special latte - Haupai (Hawaiian coconut pudding) flavor. Lite on the coconut flavor but very yummy latte in general

    I have been here multiple times! The staff is always nice and the coffee is great (both drip and fancier drinks like lattes). I also am surprised by how yummy the breakfast sandwiches and pastries are! Sweet vintage-modern decor with lots of charm.

    LOVE the coffee here! I swing by with my sister periodically. Really love their hot mochas. They have a decent GF pastry selection too. They're always busy (rightfully so), but the service is fast, and we manage to find seats every time. I buy my coffee beans here and grind them at home too. My favorites are Morning Sun and Sweetheart! 10/10 worth a try if you're in the area!

    Cutest little place to stop by after walking through the street! Ordered a small cappuccino which was deliciouss... finished it by the time I got back to the car :D The tables are small and there weren't a lot of outlets that I saw so wouldn't recommend working from here. Great to sit and chat though!

    I was around the area and decided to stop by for some coffee. My main purpose was to buy some coffee beans. The coffee shop was small but had ample amount of seatings for people to sit and work. They also have a nice display of coffee merch on the counter. As I was about to pay, I looked at the pastry display which looked very appetizing so I decided to get something. Surprisingly they sell Milkvue donuts so I had to grab one to go with my coffee. Overall, a nice place to grab coffee and to people watch. There's plenty of street parking nearby so it wasn't too difficult.

    Classically good coffee right here! I needed an afternoon boost and got a cold brew. The flavor was robust and smooth! They know how to do coffee right! Great coffee, great service!

    Awesome Lattes
    Craig D.

    A really cool and hip local coffee shop. Stopped in for an afternoon pick me up. Super smooth lattes and super friendly baristas showing off their craft. And a bonus for my wife - Gluten Free doughnuts!

    I had a great experience today!! I had an iced americano with the sweetheart espresso and it was a 10!! SO SO GOOD!! Just overall Olympia coffee is a solid place!! I've been to two locations and they're all so great! The baristas are so sweet and go out of their way to MAKE your experience! We also got their breakfast burrito and it was good!

    The coffee here is fantastic! (Some of the best in Tacoma.) And the staff are also very friendly and not pretentious. They have wifi, so you can easily work from here for a while.

I know they've been hiding out on 6th avenue for quite a long time, but parking is a struggle most days and if you're in a hurry, this may not be the best place to stop. It's more of a local watering hole where the neighborhood folks congregate for their morning coffee and pastries but if you get the time and don't mind the parking situation, this cafe is worth the trip! Small batches of delicious roasted coffees paired with some scrumptious bakery items to enjoy while you relax in their large but cozy space. The staff is super friendly, and you can sit and people watch or make yourself a temporary workspace. They are perfect for the whole group or just the two of you. When we walked in, I felt like I had been teleported to Ballard or Greenwood up in Seattle. At least that's the vibe that I felt when we were there. It doesn't quite fit the Tacoma aesthetic but that's just one more thing that sets them apart from other Tacoma coffee shops. If you're in Tacoma, skip the big corporate coffer monger and go try something that you've never tried before. Bluebeard is a good place to start! Thanks for reading. Cheers!

It was good to have this shop during my conference, which took place at the university, especially in between different sessions. Diversions Cafe primarily serves the students here - and I was impressed that they serve Caffe Vita coffee, which is my favorite coffee. When the coffee is this good, a drip coffee is all you need, which I drank a ton of during my conference. But they have a full coffee and espresso menu and they also have Lotus Elixir energy drinks here. The pastries are few, but there's something if you need to nibble. I like that there's plenty of space if you want to hang out with your coffee, which I imagine is perfect if you're a student. It's centrally located on campus too and opens early. I was glad to have this caffeinated option on campus during my time here.

The staff there was very delightful and nice, never rushed us, not crowded, and it was even during rush hour time too. I was kind of scared I was about to have a panic attack since usually that's the time I get overstimulated with the kids getting out of school and all the cars driving around like it's the horse races! But no! I am very pleased where they built the coffee restaurant where you don't stand out amongst the crowds, and when you leave, you're able to just leave kind of towards the back away from the chaos. 5 stars!! Everybody grab yourself some strong coffee there!!! You song regret it!!
