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.
