I really like their coffee and the girls are very nice. One thing I've noticed that turns me off is they give dog biscuits to the 'car' dogs and their hand touches their mouth and then they make my drink. That is a big turn off for me. Hand it to the owner. read more

I have gone here for years.... The girl today was so freaking rude. I buy the DAME DRINK EVERY TIME I GO... They KNOW my order and know me... Today, like I've done at least 50 times in the last year, I went to get my FREE coffee. This girl has been rude the last few times and today, when I went to redeem my free drink, THE SAME ONE I ALWAYS GET, she goes 'oh, we are changing our policy and wont be doing the 32 ounce for the free drink..' I said 'okay, that isn't posted anywhere' and she just stared at me. So, I left. Why so rude? You need to be humbled. read more

S & J Caffe Express - It CLEARLY says of equal or lesser value. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

This is one of my favorite coffee stands in Tumwater. The gals working are always fast and friendly. Great coffee and decent pricing. They also have a loyalty card, which I always appreciate. There can be a big line in the mornings but don't let that fool you - they move through the lines quickly. Lots of snick and snacks to choose from to go with your coffee..... read more

The only bad thing about this stand is when you travel and can't have it! Literally been coming everyday forever!!! Best staff and best coffee!!! read more

I go here every morning for coffee... the quality and taste of the beverages here is very consistent and the baristas are so accomodating and sweet! I have tried other stands around the area and they do not compare... I believe these guys buy top notch product to use when making the drinks as well, and that says a lot in itself...only con I've found is a few bad baked goods in the bunch... through no fault of their own, but the manufacturer/distributer. Deserving of more than 5 stars. read more

On our way from PDX TO Seattle. S & J is a drive through - so no bathroom breaks here. We had the Latte with 3 shots of expresso. The Latte was excellent hence the 5 star. Not far from the highway exit. No need to do a U turn to head back north on I-5. Head north after you get your coffee from S & J if your headed to Seattle since the exit north is northward on the same street. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

I don't stop here as often as A Hill of Beans but I have occasionally. I will say, I've never had a complaint about the coffee, the iced espresso drinks and red bulls are good, but I do feel that the girls hired here are more on the snobier side and have had an attitude. I will try it again. read more

This is the BEST espresso stand EVER!! I mean E-V-E-R!!! I would give them more stars if I could! Really the girls are great, super nice, they always get your drink right, and they never ever do you wrong! I seriously recommend this espresso stand to everyone, there prices are great, and their coffee isn't burned.. And if it was, you could ask for another and they would graciously replace your drink apologetically! They have monthly specialties and sometimes they have breakfast snacks. Stop by and give them a try!!! Really, do I need to say more? : ) read more

I visit this espresso stand on a daily basis. All of the baristas are trained in the art of pulling a proper shot of espresso, I consistently get an iced mocha that puts a smile on my face. Occasionally, I treat myself to a moist baked good too, the pumpkin or zucchini bread are my personal favorite. If the line of cars is long, don't worry it goes by quickly because these girls are speedy. read more

Tasty cold beverages ("I like cold beverages" - name that artist.) Mrs. K., Doggie K. and I stopped here on our way to the Bremerton-ish area. Staff was super friendly, iced lattes were solid, all in all a perfectly good experience. I'll go here again. You should. read more

I love this place. I had coffee there this morning and, as always, it was delicious. I hate that the lines are long in the morning, but I totally understand why. Sometimes I even have to go to my back up coffee stand because I don't have the time to wait. However, there are other days where I chance being late to work because I would much rather drink their coffee than my back up's. Friday's the heave great apple fritters and Wednesday the have decent bear claws. Great little treat, on occasion, with the coffee. Baristas are also really friendly and, aside from the couple new ones, remember my drink as well as my wife's. read more

S & J Caffe Express - the outside of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

My favorite coffee stand in town, the coffee is consistently perfect, the baristas are quick and super friendly!

I came here today bc Starbucks was packed af and I only went there bc I had a gift card lol so I seen y'all was empty so I popped on over and I'm so glad I did. Not only are your drinks cheaper than my normal coffee place, THEYRE DELICIOUS!! Idk what her name is but she made them perfectly lol. Perfect consistency, texture, no gritty pieces of caramel in the blended, etc. and she didn't talk my ear off, bc I hate when places do that lmao. And what little she did say, was great customer service! Thank you! Will def be coming back :) read more

This place is pretty good. Their specials tend to be a tad on the sweet side, but that's to be expected when there's more than one syrup flavor. If you buy 10 drinks, you get 1 free with a punch card. Sometimes, in the morning, they are a tad slow. Or, customers are ridiculously & complicatedly ordering... read more

It's a great stand. Awesome service, great girls, and excellent drinks. Located in the Southgate Mall in Tumwater.

The ladies that work here are always super friendly! My husband and I usually get lattes which are very consistent and taste delicious. This is our favorite drive through in the area. Definitely recommended! read more

Coffee was very good. Dark roast, fresh and delicious. Customer Service was superb. I was given a punch card I plan on using up.

I love this coffee stand one of my favorites in Tumwater! They are always so sweet. I love coming here when I am around that area! My fur baby also loves the treats read more

This is my go-to coffee stand. The girls are the best and the coffee is the best. Whenever I have my dogs with me they always give them a treat, they actually expect it now :) The monthly specials are always good and really creative. Sometimes I'll pull up and ask them what's good because they really know their stuff! Always always always good. read more

This is not Starbucks.... Thank goodness! Wonderful friendly Batista's who know what they are doing! If it's not quit right, don't worry! These girls are happy to make sure your drink is exactly like you like it! Great management and great team of espresso artists :) . Fast, friendly, quality!!!,!, read more

I come here just about every other day. I love their creative drinks with red bull. If I'm not in the mood for coffee I will come here and have one of their red bull drinks. Always so delicious. They have a menu posted to the front of the window where you drive up and it's their drink of the month. They always have something with red bull on it and it's never disappointed. read more

For a roadside coffee stand, this is all you could ask for: cheap, convenient (a 5-min detour from I5), friendly baristas and delicious lattes. Two drive-thru windows maximize efficiency. Stop thinking about it already and just get your damn coffee! read more

Great little coffee place! Coffee is always on point and it's affordable! They have monthly specials; usually it's a 16 ounce latte or Italian Ice with a specific theme. Think Leprechaun's Hazelnuts in March! Easter Bunny's Dingle Berry Spritzer! I could name these all day! read more

My favorite coffee place ! Right off the freeway and great customer service coffee always comes out how I want it ! Also very affordable.

Best coffee in town! Everyone is super friendly and gives great customer service! There is a long line, but there's a reason. The baristas always fly through the line no problem! read more

Nicest baristas and their coffee is great, gave me a deal when I only wanted one shot instead of short selling me and charging for the regular three shot. Much appreciated! read more

I just went to this place today and it quickly made it into my memory! Friendly staff and the latte was one of the best I've had! Really foamy goodness and a good blend, similar to the coffee stand I go to in Elma. I will definitely be back! read more

Perfectly prepared coffee and service! We had a larger order and the barista knew to put milk in the shots as they were waiting to be prepared. Coffee was a little on the sweet side for my taste but I happen to be a usual black coffee drinker. :) read more

The young lady was nice enough for me, but when it got to a point that it felt like she was working for my tip did not settle right with me . Don't get me wrong I still tipped just enough to say I know what you were trying to do but that's not how you earn my tips. read more

Absolutely great coffee stand, most the time i get absolutely amazing service and drinks, the reason for only 4 starts, is i got my regular drink and it tasted wayy off, i didnt have time to run back since.i was on my break, but i took a little video of the color & tossing it in the garbage. I tried to show the same girl the next day & she refused to remake it =( kinda a bummer. I use to rave about this stand.. read more

my boyfriend and i absolutely love this stand. this stand is by far our favorite. the baristas are always super nice and their prices are reasonable for an independent stand and they are doing fantastic with both Dutch Bros and Starbucks just down the road. i hope they stay in business for a long time! their drinks are the most consistent in town as well. i'm a Tumwater native and i've been to several others and they've never disappointed me. i love them! read more

I switched to S & J while avenue was closed for construction. Boy was that a mistake!! Today I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Taylor, blonde new girl. After presenting my free drink card I asked about the price of the kids hot chocolate. After an eye roll she returned with the price 2.90. I know I've paid less before so I asked if the price changed. She responded no with a smirk followed by licking whip cream off her finger (insert throw up emoji here) I was mortified but grateful she already made the drinks and kept her germs to herself while making them. As I pull off my daughters hot chocolate is scolding hot to the point of burning her fingers!!! Unacceptable kids hot chocolates should never be adult temperature!! I don't care if your new or not it should never happen!! So happy to never have a reason to stop here again! Dutch brothers is open later and of course Avenue has never let us down either! Take your money elsewhere not worth a stop! Don't let Dutch bros line fool you they move quickly. This place never has a line or price listed. That way they can change prices when you use your free drink cards. read more

This Place has the best coffee in town, and the girls that work that are super nice and really cute!

I was in search a go-to coffee place in Tumwater and am happy to have found S&J's. My coffee is consistently made right and the baristas are always super friendly and quick. The girls learned my "regular" after only a handful of visits. I go out of my way to stop here for the quality of product and service! read more
