I swear I already reviewed Samayra.. Short version is they are not a dash in and dash out joint. Expect to spend 20-60 minutes here depending on your order. It is worth the wait my friends, if you have the time. My go to is the Fig Old Fashioned latte. The last time I had it they didn't put a real fig in it.. so that might be one of those "when available" additions? Not sure. When my hubby asked about it for me the girl just added more syrup.. (*shrug* Not a huge deal.) Have also tried scones and avocado toast. Now.. to be brutally honest.. I get Gen X annoyed at avocado toast on a menu. Like.. I've been putting avocado on everything my whole life.. it's not a new product and rarely is it worth the price restaurants want for it.. so I roll my eyes every time I see it. BUT.. damn. I loved it at Samayra. Very flavorful and filling. Here I get excited instead of judge-y. read more

Comfortable seating. Relaxed vibe. Breakfast burritos and savory scones were excellent, nice to split and share. Staff was very nice. Will return. read more

Samayra Coffee - Brown sugar latte. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Good coffee, but nothing special. Waited and waited for coffee drinks to be made. Food (yummy breakfast burritos came out quickly and we waited and waited for our coffee...). Owner was chatting and joking with employees (a good thing if there wasn't a line out the door...). He seemed more into showing off as the owner (parked his Jeep in front of the store where nobody else could park, etc.). Dark and small and weird location. Lots of dirty dishes in the dish tubs under the drinking water and glasses and garbage cans need to be emptied--busy, I get it--but your place needs to be clean. read more

I love this coffee shop! The staff is super friendly and nice. The coffee is great and the standard is to use half the normal amount of syrups and sugar so it's not overly sweet. The ambiance is perfect for doing work or just have a conversation with a friend. read more

I arrived around 10am and they were pretty busy, but line moved fast. The guy taking my order was very friendly and we had a genuine small talk and not the kind that is "forced". The lady who made my drink overheard our conversation about me being pregnant and congratulated me and talked to me about how I was feeling. My experience makes me strongly disagree with the bad reviews about the staff and wait time. Also, this the first coffee I've had since finding out I was pregnant and it was the best thing I've had this year - not lying! You can literally taste quality. The vanilla syrup is house made and they use actually vanilla paste as I could see vanilla bean particles. As I am watching my caffeine intake, I asked for a single shot of espresso. I would definitely go back. This may be my new favorite coffee shop in all of WA! read more

Delicious drinks, fun mock tails, delicious food. And great service! Couldn't ask for better! We came about an hour before closing and really enjoyed the chorizo burrito! The staff were so kind and didn't rush us even though we definitely stayed right up until close chatting away! Really cute cozy interior, although a little small. I do wish they had more mocktail options, but the ones they do have are awesome! read more

I discovered this wonderful coffee shop on accident while visiting the Pho Lynn restaurant with family next door. What a wonderful find! Excellent friendly service, really kind people, and the best Rooibos Tea Latte ever, with a touch of sweetness and cinnamon. The young female brunette who made my tea did a fantastic job. Best tea and best customer service in Washington. The space looks really nice, clean, and comfortable too. And the Blueberry Lemon Gluten Free Dessert coffee cake is delicious. Thank you!

Have driven by this place for a year and never had reason to come in. Luckily Sis finally noticed this place and insisted. Thanks Sis because this place is a little bit of Pinterest heaven. The dark walls are calming, the music is Foo fightery so it brings a little bit of energy to a place that could be a little too safe and coporatey. There's enough space for people to not be sitting on top of each other, listening to each other's business. Their merch is cool, with coffee flasks, sweatshirts, and stickers hanging around, but enough with the vibe, the food's the thing. The man who greeted us seemed excited we walked in and that's always nice. He made solid suggestions and was excited to talk about the food, which I love! The coffee is good. Got a plain latte, no sugar which is new for me and it was good. The highlight is the pastries. I got the almond cake with blueberries. They served it warm and the cake had a crunchy crust, the way it should be. My sister got the blueberry cheese danish and it is crispy and creamy and the blueberries were just right. Sis and I tried each other's pastries and I liked hers cheese danish better and she got excited because she liked my cake better so it was an happy switch. Ever since I've moved to Washington I've been in search of a great croissant. Left Bank Pastry has got solid croissants, but I'm on the fence of whether it's worth the drive. Samayra's blueberry danish, with it's croissant dough base, is probably the best pastry I've had in this state so far. I want more of it now but they ran out. Must come back tomorrow for more! read more

Today's experience was meh. I brought my husband because my last experience was so so good. Our coffee today was warm at best and didn't have much flavor. It tasted more like the milk than the coffee. I used the restroom with my son on the way out and the music in the bathroom was loud and the smell was simply bad in there. The staff was still pleasant and friendly and the food looked awesome but we will likely not be back. I don't know what changed in 9 months. Sigh. read more

Severely understaffed. Waited thirty-five minutes for a coffee. Not a place I'd go again.

A cozy, urban, rustic coffee shop. I had a great first experience. Upon entering we were greeted with a friendly smile. As it was our first time visiting the cashier did a great job at explaining the menu and making suggestions. I ordered an extra hot house-made vanilla latte with oat milk, my husband ordered a cold brew with cold foam with their house-made vanilla syrup and we shared their house-made chocolate chip cookie. My extra hot, house-made vanilla latte was a 10/10 It was everything warm and cozy in a rustic coffee mug. The house-made syrup is delicious, not too sweet and you can definitely taste vanilla bean. The house-made chocolate chip cookie is a 9/10 A little crunchy around the edges and soft in the middle. Not too sweet and the perfect amount of chocolate chips. I think next time I'd pair a croissant with a latte and the cookie with an americano as having two sweet things can really add to the sugar rush. Overall a 9/10 experience. We came early morning over the weekend and it was fairly busy. We had to wait a while for our order and seating was limited. I wish it was a little bigger to accommodate the crowd but other than that it's a nice little place with excellent coffee. Can't wait to try more from their menu next time! read more

My cortado was textbook perfect! My friend also thoroughly enjoyed his iced latte. Every time I visit and treat friends to coffee here, we are all blessed! read more

It takes me a long time to consider writing a review for a coffee place because 1) I have to have been there as many times to really get to know the coffee; and 2) I have to realllllly care enough to write about it to share. : ) Took me 8 check-ins and here we go. This place is a solid 4 star. The coffee is pretty good. Aside from your regular go-to coffee menu, they also have rotating seasonal menu for those who are feeling more adventurous (currently serving espresso mule which sounds quite delicious). Their coffee base have more citrusy note to it (however not sour), and they make good cortado which is hard to come by for a coffee place because it takes fine balance to make it taste good with such small volume of liquid. They roast their own beans right here at the business and they sell packaged coffee beans. They take great pride in what they do and I think it shows when they make each cup. The atmosphere has comfortable, high ceiling, industrious, dark but cozy vibe. Customer service has been mostly wonderful during all of my visits, except for one time I tried ordering a cafe au lait with oatmilk and the tall lady with dark hair said that's not possible because "Cafe au lait means coffee with milk, and it can only be made with milk." It's actually my favorite coffee drink and I know what Cafe au lait means, and I've always been able to order it with alternative milk at other places including Starbucks (at Starbucks, it's called Caffe Misto). But I understand how they might want to do their coffees only by the books if that's what they strive for, so I opted for a different drink at the time. They also have a really good social media page on Instagram and I enjoy checking out their stories a lot for updates on menu and specials. Oh and last but not least, their charcuterie board is amazing and their pastries are from local bakeries and they've been yummy. I will continue to visit and enjoy my coffee here. I'm so glad they're here in my neighborhood. read more

Great coffee by the barista elijah! A lovely way to start your day, will definitely be coming back.

Recently opened in West Olympia up off of Cooper Point Road next to the Providence Medical walk-in clinic. (Above Walgreens). Nice young folks offering their own small batch coffee roast and espresso drinks. In addition, they have 4 or 5 pastries. They do sell their own roast for home consumption. This is a nicely decorated shop that also has some outside tables, over looking the Black Hills and a peekaboo view of the Olympic Mountains. It has a good vibe and appears already to have a good following. There is also a drive thru lane As it is my first visit, I only had a drip coffee. It is a medium roast and freshly brewed. Pretty smooth! For now, 4 stars based on my limited experience. read more

We recently moved to Olympia and thought we'd try a local coffee shop, especially the reviews prior to us going, however after we ordered we quickly noticed the lack of flavor in both of our drinks, the Peppermint Mocha 16 Oz & Spiced Dirty Chai, both drinks were watered down with little flavor especially the Chai. The peppermint mocha had little flavor to it and tasted purely like froth. We also got two bacon burritos, one with salsa and one without and both of them were distasteful. No flavor in either ingredients, the tortilla shell was extremely bland and you could not taste the cheese or bacon in the burrito. My significant other and I tried each others and concurred neither one of us were wrong about the taste. The service was very friendly though, and the restaurant had a nice vibe to it, that I cannot say anything bad about it. The price in total for the two, including tip, was 40$ which is absolutely unacceptable to either of us. Starbucks has far better pricing, for both drinks and the food. Granted, this may not even a fair comparison given the size difference, but for the quality of drink/food you get from them is incomparable to that of Samayra. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Olympia! The atmosphere in the shop is so awesome. Always a relaxing experience whether you're trying to work or just get coffee with a friend. The staff are all incredibly friendly and love getting to know their customer. The coffee is amazing! The seasonal drinks are on point every time and so creative. If you are feeling hungry I highly recommend their Avocado Toast, it's fantastic. Great people, great food, and great coffee! read more

The coffee is good, but the prices are outrageous. The staff is really nice though! I've been here a couple of times.

Very nice people and a cool coffee shop right off the freeway. They have nice and clean restrooms. Most of there roasts are on the light side, but recommended their blend when we said we prefer medium roasts. It was a solid cup of coffee. read more

Hands down the best spot in WA! Everything about the roast to the people that work there. If you care about a good cup of coffee topped with a dope VIBE this is your spot!! Couldn't recommend enough! read more

This place serves the best coffee I've ever had. When trying a new coffee place, I always order an Americano first to taste their espresso. Then I'll get their black coffee. Next I'll get their latte. Last, I'll get their latte with flavoring. All 4 drinks were spot on. The staff are extremely friendly and engaging. I watched repeat customers get greeted by name and I even saw baristas start making their regular drinks before they officially ordered. The atmosphere is perfect. I love this place. read more

5 STARS!!! I happened upon Samayra Coffee yesterday and was so pleasantly greeted by Caden. I was looking to try straight espresso for the first time. I explained my preferences and Caden was a coffee guru! He suggested a wonderful espresso with vanilla. It was FABULOUS! They were out of coconut milk so I opted for almond milk instead. Caden says since it's your first visit and we were out of coconut milk this one's on us. Caden made my day! I left feeling so blessed and happy! Thank you for being a rare breed in today world that value customer service!!! I'll be back today for more deliciousness read more

The ham and cheese croissant was so flaky and delicious I'll be going back for that for sure. The mocha caramel latte was just right to complement that amazing croissant. Since the coffee stand is at the top of the hill as you turn into the Providence medical center you could miss it. The signage is not obvious. Like a hidden treasure, one you find it you'll be back! read more

Really tasty coffee and the staff are very welcoming! The owner is especially nice.

How she worded it and how fast it happened was a little odd. read more

My partner and I just moved to Olympia and this was the first local coffee shop we got to stop in and I'm so thankful we did! The owners were there and incredibly nice.

Definitely stop here if you can! read more

Such a cool coffee shop Been here a few times I've gotten the vanilla iced latte which is super smooth and tasty. I've also purchased bags of beans multiple times as I do have an espresso machine and let me tell you I've haven't had a bad experience with any of the beans. I've tried the Guatemalan and Espresso Blend both very good and would highly recommend. Baristas here are very friendly and sweet :) read more

I had the Cortado here and it was excellent.... Perfectly extracted, the milk was the right temperature and silky smooth, and the small amount of foam used for the art was just the amount you want on a Cortado. The barista was also very friendly and we had a nice conversation since it was pretty slow at the time. I haven't tried any other drinks, but I have never been to a place that could do a Cortado right that didn't do a great job on everything else. read more
