This coffee stand is close to work and with not a lot of food options nearby this place has saved me a few times when I didn't bring a lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I usually like to try new seasonal drinks whenever we go and haven't been disappointed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sometimes my son will get the biscuits and gravy and I like the pizza bagel. The baristas here are all super friendly. I would recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Let me start first by saying that the staff is great and friendly at this stand. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee is also good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, $8.70 for a 16oz white mocha is nuts! It does not even cost that at Starbucks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For that reason alone, I will not be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Our fave spot for coffee, lotus drinks, breakfast sandwiches and the staff is awesome![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

South Bay Coffee - 20 oz iced white chocolate americano, half sweet, extra ice, cream, no water. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Olympia, Washington

there is a worker who had horrible customer service, don't take your time waiting and go to a different coffee shop.

A great drive through spot! The staff is super friendly and the coffee is delicious - not too bitter or sour - which a lot of small shops fall victim to. Prices are on par with your giant chains - but because they're local it feels better spending here. My new go to in Olympia. read more

Asked for extra peanut butter in my smoothie ( the bottom of the cup was loaded with sugary syrup). Called back as I was driving away because I couldn't taste any let alone " extra " the gal said she put peanut butter and hung up. just saying could have been better. went to a place on Marvin road and 10000 times better they even put a ribbon of peanut butter in the cup and made it look so fancy. its The little extras. read more

The coffee I've gotten here has been pretty good, but they seem WAY over priced. I got 2 mochas and a muffin last time I went and my total was $17. I was shocked! The gal inside also didn't seem to be able to hear me, but she never actually came up to the window to talk to me. I know they're busy, but it still felt rude to be shouted at from across the stand. read more

Best coffee stand around. Blended coffees, hot coffees, iced coffees, blended Lotus, iced Lotus, smoothies. They are all amazing. I don't even bother going anywhere else anymore. You won't find better coffee or Lotus drinks anywhere. read more

I love this place! Everyone is friendly not just to me, but yo my dog and daughter!!! They have speciality drinks that change regularly and are all great! Also the giant cookies are AMAZING. I like this place so much I bought one of the shirts they sell. read more

I love this coffee shop. They are so sweet and nice and funny. When the line gets backed up they come down the line and grab your order. They are a reasonably priced coffee shop with a great location. It is my fav shop near my home and I am glad I stumbled across it read more

$6 for latte.... yikes. The coffee is good, but I would be happier drinking it with a couple extra bucks in my pocket.

This coffee shop truly is amazing. The employees always engage conversation, and even if you aren't feeling like talking, they'll contribute to the conversation and they always make my heart feel lifted, and it always makes me happy. The employees are all so sweet, and they definitely have dedication in their drinks. Very good food here too, by the way. The drinks are spectacular and I absolutely recommend trying the Lotus read more

By far some of the best coffee around, made by wonderful people. I ran an espresso business for years, and drink coffee every day, so I have my standards! :) I drive far out of my way to still come here, not willing to give up what used to be my local coffee place. Sure, OCR and B&B have big reputations fairly well earned, but I put my money on SBC if they ever all went head to head. SBC beats most anyone anywhere. Thank you for being awesome, South Bay Coffee team!!! read more

I pulled in for a cup of coffee and was charged an extra 90 cents for cream!! Are you kidding me? No thanks. They never told me about the insane upcharge. I caught it and reversed the charge. They told me everyone else is happy to pay ....a regular coffee with almost a buck extra for cream ... ha! read more

Boycotting this place. For a year! Very unprofessional service on a couple of occasions by two very obnoxious baristas. Also the coffee is good, but way overpriced and the baristas are annoying when they squeeze you for tips on top of that. I bought a 15 bar pump espresso machine which strangely enough makes coffee as comparably good to theirs and I'm saving $5 every time I DON'T patronize this place. read more

First of all South Bay Coffee is THE BEST coffee stand you will ever go to. I have been to many, many coffee stands and always feel like something is not quite right. South Bay Coffee is always consistent. I drive 6 miles out of my way just to go here. I've tried a lot of the menu and nothing ever disappoints. The taste of their coffee is above everywhere else I have been to. Their house made whipped cream is amazing as well. Even the Red Bull italian sodas taste better here. I highly recommend trying a blended mocha, layered carmel macchiato or a blended lotus. I'm so glad I found this place! read more

I'm a coffee snob and this is the BEST coffee stand in town! And the girls are all so sweet, I love the atmosphere!

What makes South Bay Coffee so incredible? Is it because they are placed conveniently down the street from my kids school? Or they have so many varieties/flavors? Their friendly (and very fast) baristas? All those alone could be 5 stars... But, let's give it up for the COFFEE! If I'm ready to wake up - their coffee does it. It's consistently good. And with all the coffee carts and shops in town--- I'll drive out of my way for SB Coffee !! Xoxoxo read more

South Bay Coffee is AMAZING! They have such great service, and such immaculate drinks+food! By the second time we had come, they had already remembered us. Better than Starbucks in my opinion! read more

They have nailed the blended chai tea, not that liquid stuff. If your into a refreshing frappacino then ask for the Lemon its one of my favorites. They have excellent Baristas and great biscuits and gravy to go. read more

I saw a friend advertise this place on FB so I went and tried it out today! It is very easy to find. It is manicured with pretty flowers and sharp paint colors. I got 3 different frappacino's and a hot chocolate. Everything tasted great at a good price. But most of all, the barista was so friendly and helpful with my questions! I will definitely be going back! I love to support local people, but it's just so much nicer when you go somewhere and get such friendly service! read more

This small drive thru has good coffee and an unpredictable availability of pastries, which are pretty good. It seems like the staff know most of the clientele and are personable (talkative) with folks. So, if you're in a hurry it can be frustrating (until it's your turn). It's nice to have a full time neighborhood source for drive-thru coffee when you're on the go. read more

Bad customer service. Was also served cream when told we had an allergy. Went back and had it remade. Didn't seem to care about what happened though. read more

The best coffee shop in town! I have been known to go out of my way to come to this stand as opposed to others that may be closer, just because it is THAT good. Maybe a little pricier than some of its competitors, but you get what you pay for. This coffee is amazing! Also one of the only shops in town that offer Oat milk as an alternative milk- so good! read more

To give credit where credit is due, the coffee is very good and the service is friendly. The reason for 3 stars is this coffee stand is obnoxiously expensive. Literally more expensive than Starbucks. My standard quad, 1 flavor Americano is $4.75 at this stand, which is about a dollar more than the average anywhere else I go. The most bothersome piece is this is the only coffee stand I have EVER been to in over 20 years of being a regular coffee stand customer that charges for a splash of cream in my Americano. And I'm not referring to whip cream - just regular old cream that everyone else provides for free. It's unfortunate. I live in the area and drive further away because I'm unwilling to pay their extraordinary prices. read more

Best breakfast sandwiches of any place I've ever been to. Great customer service keeps me coming back at least once a week. Thanks!

Best coffee in Thurston County! If you haven't been here for coffee yet, you are missing out!

Baristas are very friendly and I enjoy stopping in for my caffeine fix. They have yummy treats too that I shouldn't get but cant help it.

Being a self admitted coffee snob this place is great! Best americano you can get in Thurston County and service was awesome and fairly fast! read more

Poor customer service. I have attempted two times to get coffee, leaving empty handed. The barista, both times, ignored me as she sat and spoke with other customers. She knew I was there, she looked at me as if I was an inconvenience to her busy day. Will not make a third attempt to this business, clearly they're doing just fine without my business... read more

Finally a great cup of coffee, always consistent, and such friendly staff with great work ethic. I go out of my way in Olympia to come here after years of hunting for consistently good coffee. They are my #1. (#2 is burial grounds). They also have hemp milk and know how to use It well. read more

South Bay Coffee is a great lil' place to stop for coffee & pastries. The staff is so friendly, the stand is spotless!!!!

I love coming here, the girls are really nice, the coffee and drinks are good and it's always in decent time. I drive out of my way to come here and get my redbull every other day at least because I just like the way they make it!! I've only ever had one incident where the cream was forgotten and she was more than happy to fix it. :) read more
