    The architecture inside Olympia Coffee is absolutely stunning. The wide lobby ceiling and tiles bring together an unique ambiance a lot of other cafes don't have. There was a line for about 20 minutes but it gave me time to soak in the surroundings. I ordered a 12 oz hot London fog with regular milk and really enjoyed. It was perfectly hot and sweet!

    Came to grab a coffee near the convention center and was not disappointed! It's located in the lobby of the building and super spacious with plenty of seating. I wish I had more time to sit around and do some work. I ordered the seasonal lavendar piper latte with oat milk. It's great that they don't charge extra for milk alternatives. I took a chance with the seasonal latte even though I don't typically like floral tastes and really enjoyed it! Also grabbed a bag of beans as a gift. Latte isn't cheap, but pretty standard price. Staff was also very friendly despite the line (which moved quickly).

    Located on the bottom floor of a tower building, Olympia Coffee is a small coffee spot serving up tasting menus and delicious local pastries. This was one of the more unique stops on our Seattle adventure. The space is just a small "booth" inside a regular lobby space. There is plenty of seating throughout the building, which is a plus. My favorite thing about this place is the three different tasting options, of which I ordered the Trifecta. It had a lively espresso shot, cortado, and sidecar of brewed coffee. While the coffee wasn't the best I had in the city, it was still very good and worth the stop. The employees were efficient even though it was busy (there were a lot of them for the tiny space) and very kind. The cashier made a recommendation to order the trifecta "for here" only. Not sure if it's even possible to get it "to-go". They also had a great selection of pastries and treats from a local bakery, which I did not indulge in this time around. Great stop and a worthy addition to your Seattle coffee list if in the downtown area!

    Walked a good 20 minutes and it was worth it. The kiosk is inside the hotel and the lobby is so stunning. The staff and super friendly. The coffee is a 9/10! I would've liked a better variety of latte flavors but I enjoyed the lavender a lot.

    Latte and cappuccino

    I love Olympia coffees beans so wanted to try the cafe. Really cool ambiance here. In the lobby of an office building. Cappuccino was good but my friend said she couldn't really taste the brown sugar syrup in her latte. They have a good selection of their beans to purchase at the is location which is nice. Som pastries and small food menu with breakfast sandwiches. Baristas are very nice.

    Jade Cloud and Hot Vanilla Latte

    Such a spacious and modern coffee shop! It's located inside of a huge airy building / hotel, so there's plenty of seating for people to lounge or study in. I really wanted to bring some coffee beans back to California and this place seemed to be high on the recommended list of having the best blends. Walked out of here with the medium roast "Morning Sun" and a hot vanilla latte with low fat milk (slowly building back up my lactose tolerance). Love the subtle homemade vanilla syrup flavor with the mildness of the espresso. Just the right amount of sweetness to coffee ratio in my opinion! You can definitely taste the coffee, but it's not too strong or bitter. My boyfriend got the Jade Cloud and it was also not bitter -- had a hint of a fruity taste with the brewed green tea. Only note is the water was way too hot and almost felt like we could've burnt the leaves haha. Cute spot! Wish we had more places like this in the valley.

    This was such a cute space! There were plenty of people working on their laptops on a Friday afternoon. The menu didn't have a ton of unique drinks but they did have some mochi donuts. You order at the counter and then wait for them to call your name. I got the hot chocolate and it was delicious!

    I love going to see places with stunning designs, so Olympia Coffee was on my list when I saw people post the beautiful interior of the building that it's located in. It would be a really good place to work. There are plenty of tables/chairs to sit at with ample lighting. It's also not too loud. I saw a lot of people with their laptops working. Lighting here is amazing too because of the windows. Coffee here was good. I like that they have house made syrup! I'm not an expert coffee drinker but the drinks were not bitter and had just the right amount of sweetness/flavor from the syrup that is chosen. They didn't really have many drinks that stood out or were unique but I say they do their coffee well (and sometimes that's all you need). Whoever was manning the cashier the day I went was super nice and friendly. He was making conversation with everyone in the line as they were ordering. Even though there was a long line when we got there, it moves pretty quickly and we were able to order and get our drinks in a timely manner.

    Iced mocha
    Diana F.

    Located in a very cool inviting large space. The shop itself is some small kiosk looking space. Service was fine. Unfortunately the iced mocha was not good, possibly due to whatever chocolate they use. I was quite disappointed as it was expensive for a small size.

    I found out about this coffee shop through my new coworkers who seem to love this spot. I love their house-made sugar syrup with my typical latte order. I've also enjoyed several of their specials. They are located on the first floor of an office building high rise. There is always a line but it moves very fast. There are also plenty of seating, either in the lounge directly across from their counter or elsewhere spreaded across the office building lobby. One thing I also want to point out is that they are a Certified B Corp. I recently learned what that meant and so I'm happy to support businesses that are committed to a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative way of doing business.

    Found this little "hot spot" while attending an event at the convention center. It was early, it was open! Not much of a vibe as it's in the lobby of a large building. But very clean, very well lit, nice setting to sit and enjoy your coffee. The counter service was awesome! Wish I could recall their name. Wonderful cafe Americano.

    Comfortable seating
    Johnny L.

    This coffee spot is located behind a very unassuming entrance but once you walk in, you'll be taken aback on how grand and iconic this place is. The lighting, decor and comfortable various seating setups are wonderful! I took photos that is mostly near the cafe but you can continue to explore so much more! Hot regular latte (4/5) The coffee itself is not bad. I ordered a regular latte and it had zero acidity with a good amount of bitterness. However I didn't taste much of a distinct coffee flavor. Service is fast and courteous with a warm smile.

    Inside this gorgeous, spacious, unique, and tall windowed building sits a pretty awesome coffee spot - Olympia Coffee. This is a great spot to come in do some reading, working, catching up with friends, or just simply grab a coffee & pastry or taco and admire this spot. Check out the tiling here too! All the greens are super detailed classic deco-style this spot has is worth a visit alone. Seating here ranges from short round table 2-seaters to a long row of individual with some really cool modern mushroom work lights on top. I love each seating area. There are plenty of plugs to use on those long tops too. I got a black sesame hazelnut latte and it was so delicious and the perfect way to kickstart my day. I ordered a Sunrise taco as well maybe called The Jack? I had black beans, cheese, potatoes, pico, and all on a homemade corn tortilla. It was so damn good. Service was friendly, quick, and my order was all recommended by the nice person who took my order. They are quick here so stay close to hear for your order/name if you're ordering and running. Otherwise, go find a cool spot to sit so you can hang out for awhile here. It's a super nice vibe here.

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options.

Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
