Olympia Coffee Roasting

The hazelnut black sesame latte was so well executed!! As a specialty latte connoisseur I was doubtful of how the flavors would blend together however it ended up being well balanced, didn’t taste artificial and so delicious. The place brought it so much natural light and my heart lit up at the ”feed Gaza” flyers. love a cafe with a conscience

Really enjoyed the atmosphere here—it's a perfect location for slowing down and savoring a well-crafted coffee. I opted for the espresso flight, which featured their 'Sweetheart' and 'Big Truck' blends side-by-side. While the Big Truck was bold and robust, the brighter, more delicate notes of the Sweetheart blend won me over. A fantastic way to appreciate the subtleties of their espresso.

The iced matcha latte is to die for at Olympia Coffee. Black Lives Matter sign posted outside, oh don't mind if I do...I am at the right place. The establishment was clean, the staff was kind and there was not a long wait at all. My only suggestion is that I would like to see more Black and people of color workers! If you want a delicious snack, check out the marionberry pastry. Not too sweet but hits the spot! I hope you enjoy your experience as much as I did.

A beautiful and energetic space, perfect for a creative coffee, sweet treat and long working sessions. The retro store paired with plenty of natural light, the delicious coffee smell and upbeat music playing makes the cafe so inviting and perfect to people watch or work with the free WiFi and outlets. I’ve been several times and the service is always friendly and patient, and the new coffee features are so fun and seasonal. What always impresses me the most is the pastry options, like their peach strudel or caramel chocolate sunken cookie - so delicious with excellent flavoring true to their described names.

A Soulful Surprise in Columbia City — Where Community and Jazz Collide I stepped out for a breath of fresh air during a break from my wellness work just above Rookies in Columbia City, seeking a moment to reset from the stillness I often create for others. As I strolled toward my neighborhood BECU, something unexpected stopped me mid-step—music. The sound of live jazz, rich and full, poured into the street like medicine for the spirit. It wasn’t just background sound—it was a feeling. Olympic Coffee Roasting had transformed into a living soundscape, hosting Jazz Night School for a fundraiser that not only lifted notes into the air, but raised the vibration of the entire block. In a world that often forgets the magic of gathering, this was a moment that reminded me why I chose this community. Here, art is not separate from healing, and music is not separate from movement. Businesses collaborate, uplift, and show up for something greater than themselves. I returned to my space—with my hands ready to serve and my heart refilled. Thank you, Olympic Coffee, for anchoring beauty, rhythm, and togetherness in our neighborhood. What you hosted wasn’t just an event—it was a frequency shift. People from across the world should know: Columbia City is where spirit, culture, and community unite.

Olympia roasting is great. Not only are the baristas skilled, but the whole bean selection is great. Service is friendly and blazing fast. My favorite decaf for an evening cafe au lait is their Decaf Asterisk.

This is a good space to plug in that has lots of natural light and is open later in the day, every day. It was pretty busy around 3pm when I went -- barely any seats open. I had a plain latte which was pretty good quality -- I'd drink it any day. They had a great-looking pastry case, typical of what I've seen at a lot of Seattle coffee shops. The marionberry biscuit was just decent -- kind of dry and not as rich as your average biscuit. Overall, it's a pretty solid shop that probably has a lot of fans!

Great hot chocolate and friendly service. They also happen to use my favorite mugs from NotNeutral — perfect handles. Vibe is not loud, plenty of laptop/working spaces. The only thing missing is comfy seating but seems great for focusing. Bonus points for such a gorgeous plant!
