    Vanilla Iced Latte, English Muffin breakfast sandwich
    Jimmy B.

    Just recently tried this shop out, and i'm surprised I have yet to go to this one. I'm on a mission to try every restaurant and coffee shop in Olympia/Lacey/Tumwater. This lil spot in the mall is super dope. Cozy lil spot off in the corner near Pandora. Coffee was great and the breakfast english muffin was good. Service was very friendly and speedy. We got a vanilla iced latte, and a bacon egg and cheese muffin.

    Dressed up for Halloween

    What a fun vibe this place has. Haven't been here since they first opened but returned because my sister liked their nitro whatever it was drink. Came back and they are dressed up for Halloween with specialty drinks. One has a pile of French toast sticks piled in it, another is an apple cider with a cider donut on top, and another has a freaking mini pumpkin pie on top. This place is crazy and I love it!

    Banana Bread Latte! Happy Friday!

    Neighborhood gem that's located inside the Capital Mall. They have the best uniquely made craft coffees. Try French Toast Latte and Banana Bread Latte. You will be blown away. Also, their coffees are very consistent with temperature and flavor, not many coffeeshops actually can do that. Also, I find that some coffeeshops do better job with hot coffees and some only do great with iced coffees. They've mastered both and that's why I get both hot and cold coffees here. : ) Solid coffeeshop. Lots of great treats and hot breakfast options and even though they're in the mall, they open very early and accessible from exterior of the mall.

    Peaches ring drink but without the cream!

    The people who work here are super personable and kind! I love getting to chat with them when they aren't busy. Their prices are similar to other local businesses and they offer SO MANY goodies. They have good on the go food, pastries, and little bites. We've come here in the past and tried the waffle sandwich. It was delicious! You can't sit in here because it is just a drive/walk through coffee shop and it's still super cute and quaint. The placement of it by Ross and Joann's is so funny. It looks like a little house placed randomly between a bunch of businesses. We walked here on a gorgeous day and got to enjoy some good drinks. They have lots of non-dairy alternatives, I will say that if you get one of the energy drinks with the cream, they don't have non-dairy creams which is fine for me. I think a good idea is providing maybe an alternative topping or something just because they also ran out of peach rings so my drink was just the juice, no cream, no candy. I should have asked for some boba in it because it was plain. To be fair I can't have dairy so that isn't always the makers fault!!! Just could be a nice suggestion/alternative for those fruity/energy drinks when this occurs.

    I think they have the best lattes and a lot of variety/ also not trying too hard to be creative with fancy shmancy drinks.

    The food was fantastic! It was probably the best avocado toast I have ever had. The toast was…read moreperfectly crunchy, the avocado was fresh and smooth, and the pickled onions added such a perfect touch with the acidity. We got the soup of the day, which was chili. I wish there were a little more sour cream, but it was still savory and delicious regardless. The lady who took our order was very helpful and super sweet. The place was clean, spacious, and very aesthetically pleasing. I don't go to Olympia very often, but I'll assure you I'm coming back for that toast!

    Food: 4/5 Drinks: 2/5…read moreService: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 If you're looking for a small sense of snootiness, this is your place to have a latte and a lite bite to eat. Our barista was kind of rude and, though we told her we would be a second, she stared us down until we decided what to have. For the drinks, white pumpkin latte, chai latte and an Irish cream coffee. The chai was spicy and the white pumpkin had no flavor. The Irish cream latte, however, was REALLY GOOD. The food, orange cardamom, maple pecan and early grey scones. The earl gray scone had a slightly off-putting texture and we realized it was GF (that was def user error) maple pecan since was good, so was the orange cardamom one. The tempeh Rueben, holy knock your socks off, that was an amazing bite. For being plant-based, it was spot on flavor wise, I was shocked! Oh! Super-pricey, buyer beware.

    Stopped here in the late afternoon to try a few treats. I'm a huge blueberry Danish fan and there…read morewas one left so I got it along with a chocolate macaroon. The danish was serviceable but wasn't anything special. Could be because it was later in the day so it wasn't as fresh as ones bought in the morning. The chocolate macaroon was ok, it was soft and flavorful with a thick slab of chocolate on top but similar to the danish in that it was fine, but wasn't the kind of pastry that blew me away or made me feel like I just had to buy it again. I left feeling mostly indifferent. If I come back I'd probably come early in the morning and try something else, or maybe the danish again and see if there's any difference.

    Can I just say this place is amazing? What a gem I found in Olympia on our way to Portland. I'm…read moregoing to make this place a regular stop now. I got a little bit scared when reading all the negative reviews about staff not being friendly and having an attitude. I was bracing myself but we had a wonderful gal serve us and the lines were so long and they were extremely busy that she forgot what iced tea we ordered so she gave us both! A chai iced tea and regular. It was so sweet. Also she forgot our croissant but then later comped us the croissant too! The service was amazing so I don't know who the other reviewers are talking about. Also the food was amazing. We requested the peppercini on the side and they totally accommodated and hooked us up. Our bagel sandwiches looked delish and packed with goodies and the pickle complements well with the bagel sandwiches. I also ordered the lemon meringue tart which was delicious. The salmon lox was also really good but we didn't care for the capers because it made it really sour. I would get it without the capers next time. Overall this place is wonderful and I would definitely come again to try their homemade bread/sandwiches next time! The lines are long for a reason.... It's good stuff! But the lines go relatively quickly. Just make sure you know what you want when it's your turn. Parking is basically street parking. I gave it 4 stars because I think it's a bit pricey but I would pay again because it's worth it.

Seriously the most beautiful, romantic (yes, a cake can look romantic damnit) looking cakes ever. Keep an eye out on IG & FB for when she does a sweetbun day. You DO NOT want to miss those days. Not even kidding, we buy anywhere between 6-12. They take us about a week to eat but oh man, we look forward to our evening sweetbuns during that time. They keep very well in the fridge; just pop one... or two in the micro for a minute-ish. They're the perfect amount of sweet. Ya know how everyones favorite part of a sweetbun is the middle? I mean, it's for good reason, its delicious. I actually cannot pick what part of her sweetbuns are my fave. The entire thing is special in its own way. The fluffy outside with a kiss of all the gooey cinnamon mixture covered in the cream cheese icing. Then moving around to the middle where both sides are covered and its a little softer. The texture when you finally make it to the middle, just go ahead and plop it all in your mouth. Goodness, whens the next sweetbun day?
