Great coffee shop serving delicious chai latte in Downtown Olympia. Stopped by and I was…read moreimmediately greeted and the interiors of this place is lovely.. would be amazing to get a book enjoy my chai and spend hours here.. i heard they had good chai latte so ordered that and it did not disappoint.. infact it was amazing.. not too strong on the spices but good enough to impart fabulous flavor to the chai.. many other places I had chai latte taste artificial and syrupy but here it was divine.. All in all will stop by and try their coffee as well but for now a fan of their chai latte..

Amazing coffee! My friends and I got a caramel latte, salted caramel and vanilla latte, and a…read morespecial called the Ferris wheel which was a vanilla latte with orange cold foam! We all got oat milk as well; they all had the perfect amount of sweetness and were super smooth. My only critique would be there largest size is a 16oz, (usually prefer a 20oz) and after tip, our totals were $9.24 for a 16oz coffee. Almost $10 for a coffee is a little much but they were very good and the shop itself has lots of seating and many cute knick knacks inside!

Just this summer alone I've been to painted plate 3 separate times! (Parties, girls nights and…read morewhatnot) Each time something different impacted the experience in a negative way. One trip we sat by the window and we were all boiling!!! On their Facebook/IG it always says come in and enjoy A/C but the employee told us it's always super hot by the windows, so no hope of a cool environment if you're in a big party. On another visit (with my 5yr old) it took them almost 50min to bring out her Italian soda. We basically took it to go at that point. I also feel like prices have gone up a lot. The average piece is around $50 or you can paint a ceramic animal for closer to $20. Overall I know I'll be back because the employees are great and getting to paint your own pottery is fun, but I wish the building/food experience was better! Still 4 stars, and watch their social media for deals!

Please keep in mind this is a senior citizen mom and pop business and mom is disabled so they're doing the best they can and an occasional problem can arise but they'll make good if you communicate with them and don't get upset in a haste like I did. I'm now upset with myself for getting upset with them. They have some beautiful products and good sales so give them a try.

As with all craft stores such as Michael's, the pricing on most every product is very reasonably priced which makes it a whole lot easier to want to do crafting.

Not to mention products like this are expensive anyhow. All said and done, this is probably my favorite store (Wether it is the wife going on or myself).

I went in last night 7/19/25 around 7:50pm to return it. The man behind the counter did not appear to want to help anyone. I asked to do a return and he asked what was wrong. I told him what happened and he said he needed to call a manager. She said because I had used it I could not return it. I said their policy states if I am unhappy with my purchase I can return it within 60 days with the receipt. I only attempted to use it. Obviously I was not happy with my purchase since it didn't work for what I needed it for. She still declined my return so I left and called the Lakewood store. I asked about the return policy and told them what happened and they said they didn't understand why Lacey would not allow me to do a return. I had to drive 40 min to return my item. From now on I'll drive 40 min to spend my money. Lacey customer service is trash and they will not be receiving my business anymore.

My wife, Peggy, and I started this farm back in 2009 after our 1st visit to Sequim in 2008. Well looking over the bright purple fields and seeing all the happy bees and happy people surrounding lavender, we thought maybe we could bring this same feeling to Olympia. Since we had a 4 acre piece of property, and I didn't want to mow it all the time, we were looking for something unique for people to come and enjoy. Peggy did a lot of research and tried to find a grower that had plants that would survive in this area. We settled on Lavender at Stonegate from Silverton, Oregon. Sarah, was amazing and she turned us on to 12 beautiful varieties of lavender. We mostly grow True English lavenders but we also have hybrids, that are known for their size, scent and oil content. Our English variety, Royal Velvet, is extremely popular with cooks, distillers, bakers and chocolatiers. Our hybrid lavender's, or lavandins, are used for large bouquets and for their aromatic essential oil. We steam-distill many of our plants here on the property. They have been acclaimed to be some of the very best essential oils that people have ever used. Peggy fills our gift shoppe with body soothing products and lovely sachets, eye pillows and warmable neck wraps. We think the best thing about coming to our farm, is that people can escape the rigors of city life and sit back and just relax.
