It is laid out nicely so you don't feel crowded and can take your time to look through things. The book selection was particularly fun with cookbooks for all kinds of things. I liked the choice of notebooks and cards. The store is decorated nicely and provides a pleasant atmosphere to browse the many different things. You can find things you didn't know you needed and certainly a great place to find a great gift for someone.

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!

They won't accept anything. Clothes now worn, even summer styles I purchased from them! Always an excuse why they won't accept. And these are nice clothes. Expensive silk scarf nobody would want? Linen top never won, sleeveless summer style I bought but didn't fit, much more. Sure, they can choose what they want but what do they want? Very disappointed in the prices for what you get.

I saw some cool collectables here, but the prices were just too high. They had a ton of ashtrays from a restaurant I assumed no longer exists, I don't smoke, it would be a nice accessory to a coffee table. However, at $8, I couldn't help but assume they acquired it for no more than $.50. I believe in profit, but some price reveal a greed I'm not comfortable with supporting. Again, you will find some interesting wares here, question is, will you find them affordable. I left empty handed, and I doubt I was alone in that outcome. 1 on pricing, 5 on product. Total score 3

So many storefronts remain empty or are used for weird purposes, such as a remote library. It seems the days of bustling and crowded malls is more in our past than in our future. Anchored by JC Penney's (dying retailer) and H&M, the Capital Mall does not live up to its name. Even the food court leaves much to be desired. The good news, lots of empty parking spaces!

I'm genuinely surprised by this mall because I come from California where indoor malls are dying…read more This place looks like it's struggling but is surviving, most likely because people need a place to hang out in the cold months of the year. Is this mall a fun place to hang out. Sorta. It's better than nothing. This place is genius because they are dog friendly and have poopie stations with paper towels in case Fido makes an accident and it is this reason that my sister loves coming here- so that our pups can socialize. There are okay restaurants here, but a very small food court with three restaurants which includes a a Philly Cheesteak place with bomb fries and a Panda Express. For some reason this mall has two Wetzel Pretzels. For me the better restaurants aren't in the food court, but on the outside areas of the mall. There's a fancy burger place near the movie theater which is a little overpriced with pretty good burgers, but nothing memorable. If you ask me, the best restaurants are on the outside of the mall and in the parking lots, including a Chipotle, Menchie's Fro Yo, Red Robin, Olive Garden, Applebees, etc. They also have a small Chuck E. Cheese that is a little sad because there's isn't a lot of space for anything there. There are a lot of Spencer Gifts type businesses at this location I guess to entice the teens. For me the fun is from the massage chairs. I have one at home so I don't know why I use these things, but there's something fun about chilling in public. My favorite business here is the Century movie theater which has reasonable matinee prices and lounge chairs that recline.

There is all kinds of great merchandise here that a flea market lover would have a heyday with. I found some great "dust collector" items that would add a nice touch of decor to our home. In one corner of the store there is a pretty decent book section as well. This flea market isn't necessarily in a huge space but there is a lot of merchandise here so take your time browsing through it. I did more than one pass in some parts of the store and found new merchandise to examine that I missed prior. The staff here are extremely friendly and approachable which makes this flea market all the more pleasant!

It had reflection of a Seattle store, Archie Mcphie. I don't know If the two are related, but I don't know if Archie even exists anymore. I used to do their parking lot sale, but when they ended it 15 years ago, I stopped shopping there as that was the only way to pay a reasonable price for items imported in bulk from China. A lot of displays and boxes here were empty, I don't know if they had a holiday run or are just bad at restocking, but I reached for a few things that just were there. They had some cool Olympia based items and a fair amount of pop culture and although not cheap, the pricing was fair and based on the thrift shops we visited, the kind of stuff that holds our attention was cheaper here than it was second hand in other places. At the end of the day, there was nothing here we had to have so we left empty handed. Every city needs a store like this. If merch was stocked , we certainly would have bought something.

A…read morewomen-owned bookstore with a rich history dating back to 1935, it has passed through caring hands over the years while somehow retaining its soul--and you can feel that the instant you cross the threshold. The space is charming, small, and intimate, like slipping into another world where time slows down and curiosity takes over. Shelves are thoughtfully arranged and beautifully organized, making it easy to wander, browse, and actually find what you're looking for--whether you arrive with a title in mind or simply want to be guided by instinct. The selection is outstanding: carefully curated, diverse, and clearly chosen with intention rather than volume. And if you can't find what you're looking for, the knowledgeable staff are right there--warm, approachable, and genuinely passionate about books. Browsers isn't just a bookstore; it's an experience. A place that invites you to linger, explore, and leave with something unexpected in your hands--and a little extra inspiration in your heart. A true Olympia gem. My current read is The Dazzling Paget Sisters by Ariane Bankes.
