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..

There was karaoke happening when we walked in, and everyone seemed friendly. I'll definitely be back. Honestly, a name change could make a big difference, since we almost didn't stop because the name gave off the wrong impression. Other than that it was all good.

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

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.
