    I have bought coffee at this espresso caffe for around 30 years. They were the first espresso shop in Tumwater and they have continued to deliver fine coffee with friendly baristas. They survived and continue to thrive even with three Starbucks, a Dutch Bros, and at least one other competitor all within a mile. You don’t stay in business very long with competition like that without being great at what you do.

    I go to lots of different coffee stands. S&J is consistently great coffee. Their lines get long but for sure you'll get a great drink. I get impatient some times and try other places.... then I scold myself when the drink is not as good.

    S & J Caffe has great coffee. I love that they are open at 5a.m. The staff is very friendly and they always remember your favorite drink. The menu has now than just coffee so if you want something different they have you covered Another plus is the assortment of food items I love the muffins, specifically blueberry cream cheese. Yum Swing by and try them out

    Probably the worst experience I've had in a while. Somehow unable to give me a receipt when I paid cash, then completely messed up my coffee order. After paying almost 10 bucks, because of the specific needs of my order, there were NO flavors put in it, milk substitute was NOT used and I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT have regular cows milk. The coffee tasted terrible AND it made me sick because the girl working was more concerned with the cute guy on the other side of the stand, than paying attention to my order. I was already running late for work and didn't have the time to go back and wait for it to be fixed.

    I have to drive a little bit out of the way to stop by this stand because the one near my house is usually slammed. I so far have not regretted it. The girls are friendly and efficient, and they have great coffee. I’m not sure what bakery the scones are from but they are the bomb!

    I just tried this place a couple days ago and it was amazing. I tried a drink that one of the girls recommended off the valentine menu. I went two more times after that and got the same girl those two times and after only seeing me once she remembered me and offered me a punch card. The coffee is great and so are the burritos! Will definitely be my new go to coffee place

    I have been hard pressed to find any baristas who can correctly make a drink anymore. Baristas who can properly stretch milk, and bind their shots before expiration. But I have found those baristas here at S&Js. Clearly better trained than most; these lady's pull their shots to perfection every single time. I've been coming here for years and I highly recommend.

    Heading from Seattle to Oregon on Christmas Eve and stopped for coffee to power us through the rest of the drive. At 5:05pm, S&J was the only coffee spot still open. The two baristas working were full of joy! Thank you for the mocha and hot chocolate (perfect temp, just the right amount of flavor) and treat for our pup!

    The workers are always soo friendly and kind! Also, I LOVE that a 32 oz blended drink is actually affordable here!

    really good coffee! i get a caramel oatmilk latte everytime i come here and it's always super tasty. depending on the lines, the wait can be a little long but its always worth it. I like this place a lot better than starbucks or dutch bros

    I really enjoy the coffee here. But the service is spotty. They have a habit of serving others out of order. We gave our orders and were there well over 10 minutes, and someone who came to the other window after we got there. One person was in there and served someone who got there after us. This doesn't happen all the time but it has happened more that once.

    Very disappointed! Ordered an iced caramel mocha with coconut milk. No idea what I got but it wasn’t that. My husband ordered a coconut milk latte *not too hot* and it was super hot. Was she even listening? Super sad! ☹️

    Coffee is good but I think that maybe the fact that you close early you should maybe update your hours so people don't waste a trip only to have you guys close early.

    Lovely customer service! I got an iced spiced double dirty chai - super interesting spice - and very yummy!
