Formerly satisfied, but current disappointed costumer... today l went to purchase a 12 oz caramel cream late ($4) and a "l am a waffle" ($6). The cashier charged me close to $17 dollars. I was like, did l read the price for each item wrong? So l told the cook "l think l was charged way to much for my coffee and waffle." She told the chashier and her answer was, "l charged you for a 16 oz coffee instead of a 12 oz because your cup looks like is a 16 oz cup. It's just a 60 cents difference. Here you go."I was like...what!? OK, 4 + 6 = 10 plus taxes doesn't equal $16 even at a 13% sale tax. The line was so long l chose not to pursuit it. It was definitely no her day nor mine.

A cute, yummy cafe that's right beside the Olympia farmers market entrance. On an absolutely pouring day, having a warm breakfast hit the spot. For a to go box, there is a charge for them, but the items are packaged very nicely. As seen in the pictures, the paper underneath kept the box from getting soggy and the cream is packaged individually to keep the Belgian waffle nice and tidy. Syrup is packaged by yourself in a separate small condiment container. Each order was made fresh (about a 3-5 minute wait) and definitely showed in the taste! The Hot Mess had perfectly crispy hash browns that as complemented by the slightly melted cheese and creamy country gravy. The sausage patty helped add a nice salty flavor too! Overall was very tasty and made wonderfully. It wasn't that oily or salty, yet the items were fried to a delightful crispiness and the gravy was the perfect texture. As seen, it did not drain through the paper and held its shape. Oh wow, the Belgian waffle was great too. At first, I wasn't a fan of the cream underneath the strawberries, but the waffle had a salty kick to it! I was surprised by the saltiness and realized the tartness of the strawberries, the sweet cream, and the condiment toppings are really what balanced the salty Belgian waffle into a very heartwarming dish. The waffle was dense, crispy, and chewy! It's filling in its own right but it's manageable to try another entree eat along with it. Price wise it's pretty affordable! Two dishes for about $15 with the packaging expenses included. For people that are in the farmers market looking for a filling meal, I definitely recommend trying HeyDay. Also, the promo menu showed a 20oz veggie smoothie for about $6? Looked delicious too!

I was very happy with our food from this little farmer's market spot! We also ordered the peach milkshake, some smoothies, a lox bagel, waffles, and my Jumpin Jack Hash (see photo). The peach milkshake was OK, nothing to shout about, but worth a try if you really wanted it. I was very happy with my caramel latte. The hash and lox bagel apparently looked so good, during our meal, a few different people interrupted us to ask where we got our food and which items they were. HIGHLY recommend this spot. I can understand that during their BUSY hours, things might be different and service may not be as great (based on other reviews), but this was a great spot. We felt really happy with the customer service and super satisfied with our meals. DEFINITE spot to hit up when you're looking for something a little different. :)

I ordered a latte and a chai tea, both with almond milk substitutes. The chai tea is on the sweet side but is very pleasant. They have food and drinks for everybody, and they were happy to make my orders dairy free! This is a great way to start adventuring in the Olympia farmer's market- their menu is both informative and entertaining-we loved the names they had for their foods. While I only ordered drinks this round, I will be eating here in the future. Check out how cool their menu is!

This is about customer service not the product. Went on a busy Sunday morning. They lady taking orders and the guy making coffee were super nice, no complaints there. The lady handing out food at the pick up window is a different story - she was super rude. She called my name to pick up my order. Prior to reaching in the window to get my order I asked for napkins. She continued working so naturally I thought maybe she didn't hear me so asked again, which prompted the response "ITS RIGHT THERE UNDER YOUR NAPKIN". The tone of her statement wasn't one of "I am speaking loudly so you can hear me" it was more demeaning than anything. This was very off putting thus making me have a negative experience. I get that you're busy doing your job but customer service doesn't stop after you've made the food. I wasn't the only person she was rude to. One order they called a few times didn't come to pick up their food immediately so she proceeded to yell loudly to pick up and that their food was getting cold - which to some of the people in line it was funny but others just looked at each other with raised eyebrows. I also later learned from my significant other (who was eating in the dining area next to the shop at the time) that all the people that were eating stopped and looked around when she yelled trying to figure out if there was an altercation in the market, no one was amused. Lastly, The ONE napkin she gave me was dirty! :(

Extremely rude people. Seen it on multiple occasions, not just to me but to others. Done giving these people my money

I've been here twice with my dad. It's located within the farmer's market and serves a wide variety of food but they're probably best known for their breakfast items. I had their biscuits and gravy and although I thought this was going to be little, it left me stuffed. There are benches along the side and in front of the stage and you can hear them call your name as you're waiting for your food. It's a nice little spot for entertainment with the family.

Enjoyed an amazing salad today, plus the people are rad.

Wandered through the Oly Farmers Market this morning with the kids for the first time. Started to get hungry and asked the kids what they thought. Right away this place jumped out with their awesome menu. We shared a Donatello (grilled cheese with pepperoni and marinara dipping sauce, served with pickle and carrots) and a Shredder (shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, two cheeses served with ranch and vegetarian baked beans and a pickle), both on wheat. Beautifully lightly toasted and buttered just enough, no burnt spots for the kids to whine about. The only reason I didn't finish the Shredder is because we had to try the brown sugar Belgian waffle (with peacans and freshly whipped cream- the kids asked why it was so good and I could tell them the truth- it's fresh, like they made it not from a store!). That was gone in minutes. We walked away today full and happy and for a reasonable price. $22 for quick and tasty meal plus dessert. 🙌😆
