    Coffee is great! My the last two times I've been in the customer service has been AWFUL. This sucks since its the really the only coffee shop near the Capitol campus. I probably not be back.

    I got the best blended coffee. The batista was excellent and well worth the stop.

    I love this espresso bar. It seems the options are endless! Every time I go in there are new specials. The service is friendly & has great suggestions. I'm not giving a 5 because I can't get Drip on weekends, & I totally understand why they aren't open, but I'm a coffee nut, so it bums me to have to go somewhere less amazing on the weekends. Still, keep doing the great things you are doing. What a great joint!

    They make a tasty mocha. The coffee is always good. I'd give it five stars if their coffee was cheaper, but the price is pretty much on par with others in the area. I'm just cheap ;) The service is always friendly and pretty fast. They use Batdorf & Bronson beans, which are roasted locally, so that is cool.

    Finally got the opportunity to go grab a coffee from Drip. Let me say the service and good conversation was awesome. My iced coffee was delicious. I will be back.

    I work nearby and stop in here once every week for a coffee and a treat. I'm not into the sweet coffee delicacies that Drip offers (which I am sure are tasty to most), but I prefer their black coffee which is fantastic. They use Batdorf and Bronson coffee at this shop which I find superior to Starbucks. My favorite sweet treat to accompany my premium coffee is the coffee cake, which I recommend. The baristas are very friendly and quick to serve you your caffeinated beverage. Please try this great, friendly, local coffee shop if you're in the area.

    Quick service and delicious coffee! They also serve pastries and savory treats. Easy walking distance from the Capitol building.

    Best coffe shop in Olympia. Drinks are always delicious and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Please ask to put honey and cinnamon on all your drinks, you will thank me later.

    Tasty pastries, good coffee, and without a doubt the best baristas in Thurston County. (That is saying something, since there are many great baristas in this town.) Pastries: Baked fresh daily by the owners. There is an occasional miss, but rarely. I love gluten, but no protest from me about the gluten-free raspberry bars. (Try them heated up slightly.) My wife loves the lemon blueberry scones. Currently they are serving a pumpkin coffee cake. I rarely eat coffee cake, but my wife almost did not get her share when I tried some. Coffee and such: Good product overall. They are one of the very few coffee stands/bars in town that does a good chai, meaning the dirty chai is my go-to drink there. They have a good quality chocolate if mocha is your drink of choice. Hint for those obsessed with pumpkin spice: in season they make their own pumpkin spice for their drinks. I am not a pumpkin spice aficionado, but it's pretty good. Service: Did I mention these are the best baristas in a town with some great baristas? Even when the line of state workers requiring caffeination is long, they handle the pressure well. I keep trying to talk one of the baristas into going to a barista art competition, given the designs she pours into the cup. I'm sure they must exist somewhere. Atmosphere: Comfortable, given that they are in the lobby of a building with small offices and apartments. The seating in the lobby itself is cozy, and there are chairs and tables and a reasonably cozy nook around back. Some might rate the atmosphere lower, but they do well with the space they have. Price: For years, my one complaint has been the price, although "you get what you pay for" is true here. In 2023, I think their prices are about average with most other coffee joints in town. If you are paying about the same at other places, you might as well enjoy the product and service at Drip. Bottom line: Give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

    Coffee is good (Dancing Goats!) but they used a to-go cup when I asked for-here. Also, no vegan snacks.
