Olympia Coffee Roasting - Seattle

Amazing coffee, staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We weren't from around there and they gave us brunch places recommendations. We will be back if we visit the city again!

This place is so cute!! Loved the intimate atmosphere, it’s super small inside but they had a decent amount of window seating tables outside. There’s a restroom for customers and the baristas were super friendly! HIGHLY recommend the cinnamon roll. It has a flakey consistency (kind of like a croissant) but it’s a cinnamon roll never had anything like it! My vanilla latte was great too. Definitely want to stop by again and try their other pastries!

Coming from a novice coffee connoisseur: The espresso smelled amazing as it welcomed me inside. I was looking forward to the seasonal pour over, which also smelled wonderful in bean form. The service was exceptionally slow, but I was willing to wait because a good pour over takes a little time to be fully flavorful. When I got my order, it tasted hot, watered down, and bitter. I'm willing to give them a second try in case the barista just needed more training.

Have only tried this place once. Nice people and good product. The one complaint is the whole dog policy and lack there of their policy posted anywhere that I could easily see. (And maybe it is posted on your door but with how popular this spot is there is always a line out the door, essentially blocking it, nearly every time I’ve walked by so not the best placing of it is) I had always seen folks sitting outside with their dogs but figured it was because they have big dogs and the shop is small. We have a small dog so so figured it was fine if he waited in line with us. Not a massive deal or anything but it’s something I take pride in that I’m always aware of what place allow dogs. Tried looking it up online after the fact and it was buried in your FAQ section. Just a heads up this is the only coffee shop that I’ve stopped into in west Seattle that DOESN’T allow dogs. Just saying… Wanted to give some constructive feedback so this can help to improve the experience for other customers. I felt silly that something wasn’t said to us until we were checking out. No wonder everyone was giving us odd looks while we waited inline. Not a good feeling.

One of my favorite coffee shops in West Seattle. The drinks and pastries are great, albeit a bit on the pricy side, the atmosphere is airy and tasteful with a few seats inside and outside too. The highlight though is the staff, who are all so sweet. Love coming here for a caffeinated treat!
