Toxic, Discriminatory, and Exploitative -- Stay Away…read more I worked here for two years, and it was by far the most toxic, discriminatory, and unprofessional workplace I've ever experienced in nearly a decade in the coffee industry. I was fired without cause -- the real reason? I was a gay man working under two ultra-conservative general managers in a company where men are rarely hired unless they're considered a "special exception," as I was told. The management culture is a clique -- tight-knit, cult-like, and built on favoritism. I saw the stand managers' group chat titled "Gold Diggers," which tells you exactly where their heads are. They gossip about employees, bully baristas under the guise of "coaching," and pit women against each other to maintain control. One of my coworkers was fired over a false theft accusation simply because she didn't wear makeup or have a "cheerleader attitude." That's the standard here. We were constantly overworked, sent to other locations with no compensation, denied even basic 10-minute breaks, and never received lunch breaks. After two years of covering shifts, taking on extra responsibilities, and staying loyal to this company, I was made to work a full closing shift -- including handling their EPD product order -- only to be fired immediately after. My work ethic was exploited right up to the moment they threw me out. The general managers protect each other and ignore real problems. They pressure baristas to upsell so they can pad their own bonuses, all while pretending the business is built on "community." It's not. It's built on control, exploitation, and image. This is a workplace stuck in the past -- discriminatory, toxic, and shockingly out of touch for a company that's been open over 25 years. I'm grateful to be out. No one deserves the kind of treatment I endured here. To Management, After two years of dedication, I left your company not just disappointed -- but deeply disturbed by the culture you've allowed and enabled. I wasn't just let go without reason; I was discarded after being used, overworked, and never once given the respect or recognition I had earned. You foster a toxic, discriminatory environment -- one where cliques run the show, gossip is normalized, and real issues are buried to protect each other's reputations. Your lack of professionalism and empathy was evident every time you mocked employees, pit them against each other, or made hiring and firing decisions based on personal biases instead of actual merit. I was called a "special exception" as a gay man -- a comment that was both dehumanizing and revealing. You exploited my work ethic, had me close your stand and complete your inventory order, only to fire me immediately after. That wasn't just unprofessional -- it was calculated and cruel. But the worst part? You've been running this business for over 25 years, and still can't figure out how to treat people with basic human dignity. You ignore labor laws, deny breaks, withhold appreciation, and manipulate your staff for profit. What kept me going were the customers I built relationships with and the few real coworkers who, like me, were simply trying to survive under your thumb. They deserved better -- we all did. I hope, one day, you reflect on the damage you've done to the people who gave you their time, energy, and loyalty. Until then, I'll be using my voice to speak the truth about what working under your leadership really meant.

I usually have good experiences here, but I noticed they have a new barista (middle aged woman with…read morecurly hair) who is very rude. When my drink was made wrong and I was rung up improperly she became argumentative about it. Neither of the two were a big deal, I just don't appreciate a service worker being rude to me before 6 AM. I ended up throwing the drink that was made wrong away, so the visit was ultimately a waste of both my time and money. I definitely will be avoiding this location for a while until this person either receives more training or until they have a new early morning staff.

My wife and I have been drinking coffee from Olympic Crest for years, and it has easily become our…read morefavorite local spot. In fact, it's the only coffee she'll buy for our espresso machine at home, which says a lot. Every time we stop in, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell they care about the people who come through the door, not just the coffee they're serving. The shop itself is always clean, comfortable, and has a really nice atmosphere, which makes it a great place to grab a drink and relax for a few minutes. The quality of their coffee is consistently excellent. Whether we're grabbing a drink to go or picking up grounds for home, it never disappoints. If you're someone who likes supporting local coffee shops and appreciates great coffee made by great people, I definitely recommend giving Olympic Crest a try. We've been happy customers for years and will keep coming back.

I wanted to be adventurous and try out a cafe that I passed by and ordered a matcha. If you look at…read moretheir yelp page, you'll see that no one had posted any matcha drinks and I think I know why. So, I ordered the banana salted matcha since it's one of my fav flavors. As I finished paying, I overheard one of the female workers tell her coworker how she thinks matcha tastes gross and to add banana to it is so artificial. Mind you, the cafe wasn't big and that convo bounced off the walls so I heard them. Anyway, after trying to watch them make the drink, I left and tried it. And sure enough, no wonder matcha is gross to that girl. The quality is very gritty and bitter. It definitely tasted like they used culinary matcha either premade or with hot scolding water. The banana definitely was giving banana laffy taffy flavor. I should've tried an iced latte instead for my caffeine kick..but even then I should've just passed from coming here altogether. Customer service was no bueno enough for me to regret coming in.

The reviews were high and I always love an espresso spot that has monthly specials as I am a sucker for trying out themed or unique drinks. There was another car in front of us so we got to peek at their regular menu for a little bit but it was on their window and pretty small. As we arrived at the ordering spot, we got to see a bigger version of their menu and the May specials (they usually post it online but I don't see the May one). I got the creamy colada while my boyfriend got the Tres Leche Latte. The drinks were made to perfection and hit the spot. The cashier/barista was very friendly, professional and patient with us as she knew it was our first time. She let us know to let her know if we have any questions or to let her know when we were ready as we also told her that we are pretty indecisive. I appreciate that she didn't just keep staring at us or rushed us as that makes me feel really uncomfortable and pressured. However, we were able to select our drinks and enjoy them. Not much to say about the ambiance but I do like the look of their little shop. It is eye catching and gives a welcoming, cozy vibe.

It's a great spot for a quick coffee pick-me-up, and we're definitely coming back next time we're in the area. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and tasty coffee experience!

It is worth the wait my friends, if you have the time. My go to is the Fig Old Fashioned latte. The last time I had it they didn't put a real fig in it.. so that might be one of those "when available" additions? Not sure. When my hubby asked about it for me the girl just added more syrup.. (*shrug* Not a huge deal.) Have also tried scones and avocado toast. Now.. to be brutally honest.. I get Gen X annoyed at avocado toast on a menu. Like.. I've been putting avocado on everything my whole life.. it's not a new product and rarely is it worth the price restaurants want for it.. so I roll my eyes every time I see it. BUT.. damn. I loved it at Samayra. Very flavorful and filling. Here I get excited instead of judge-y.
