Their coffee was pretty good!! My friends and I were down in Olympia for the day and we at first ordered a hot rose vanilla latte, a chai latte with oat, and a vanilla latte all for here. The ambience is pretty and I like the way they set up the ordering/lines. From the get-go, the baristas were super sweet. We were the only ones ordering (there were maybe two other parties sitting down) so they were very nice in answering all my questions. I love coffee shop talk. They have quite a few different roasts available and they were very nice in recommending me their favorites. I finished my latte pretty quickly so I went back in line and ordered a cortado. They told me that the cortado came with a free drip and I was so excited because the drive back is about an hour, I was afraid I would need another pick me up. Thankfully, they took care of that fear! I did buy a bag of beans that they recommended but it wasn't my favorite roast as I used it as a pour over. I think if I did it as espresso, I would love that roast much more. I can't remember which roast it was off the top of my head but it was okay. That was the only reason why I knocked it down one star. Everything else was awesome. Their merchandise was super cool, they provide merchandise for doggos too! I loved that!

Kid-friendliness: The steamers are great for kids.
The coffee shop has so many lil plants. The atmosphere is fantastic, too bad I forgot my book.

Ive been 2 weeks in WA state, and this coffee is easily the best I've tasted here?As a Swede, american style coffee is quite 'watery' for me, but this place is highly recommended if youre craving for a swedish style cup of deliciouscoffee ?

Cute little coffee shop near the capitol. Friendly staff and clean inside. The coffee was good and this was a good spot to hang out for a bit. Learned the name of this place has to do with the original founding story of how coffee was discovered, when a goat ate some coffee beans.

EXCELLENT quality and fantastic staff! Told us about the story of the dancing goats and was able to enjoy a wonderful conversation. Very clean facilities and friendly staff. Would recommend anyone to visit if they're in need of a warm cup of coffee!

Olympia has some excellent coffee roasters, and this is one of them. The coffee is excellent and three varieties are offered daily (light, medium, dark). Their decaf is exceptional. The pastries are from a local bakery and also excellent. Their beans are also great and fresh. The baristas are very knowledgeable and friendly. The only disappointment is the new space, where seating is limited and cramped. Their old place was a good place to meet people and hang out briefly. This new space doesn’t accommodate much social interaction. (They were in a similarly cramped space 20 years ago, so I guess this is full circle?)

One of Olympia's excellent coffee roasters. Great coffee and beans, excellent local pastries, knowledgeable and friendly baristas, variety of roasts offered daily. They recently moved to a new and much smaller location that doesn't afford much social interaction, and has reduced the variety of beans available in store (The nearby roastery has all the roasts).

Delicious coffee. I love finding local coffee places when I visit new cities. I drink a seasonal drink and it was so delicious. If I'm ever in that city again, I will for sure go back.
Thank you so much. Because I like confessing that I'm not a "Hearded Sheep;" and, I'd rather be a, "Dancing Goat....."I hope "We All Make It....." ? Thank you for charging outlets.

Well crafted classic cappuccino. Staff is skilled and helpful. Good selection of coffees. Go to place to take out of town coffee foodies.
Really enjoyed this, although I don't expect to go down there much with only paid parking. The coffee & pastries are amazing though!Parking: I'd go downtown more to enjoy small businesses if it wasn't for paid parking only. Guess I'm old school, will make my own or go where I can park free.

I've always liked this location but unexpectedly got snapped at by the barista today for asking for clarification about my drink. Very disheartening experience when the attitude felt unwarranted. Sorry for asking.

They used to have quality, long-time employees but I just left with my 8 oz white chocolate mocha that had ROOM at the top still so wow, more like 7 oz and it was super hot so not a professional temp.I won’t return to this location which is fine by me. Downtown Oly is less than desirable to say the least.
