Drip Espresso Bar

Now I like Dancing Goats coffee, it's decent. But Drip takes that experience and makes it so much better! I was recently in Olympia on a business trip and Drip was on my walk into the office, so I stopped in to give it a whirl. The staff behind the counter was friendly and accommodating of my excited fumbling with my bags & wallet and whipped up an excellent coconut milk latte. 🙏🙏🙏 But the thing I loved most about Drip was the accoutrements bar which offered, among other things, 4 kinds of coffee topping sprinkles (vanilla, cocoa, nutmeg and CAYENNE 🤯) and some good ol' fashioned Costco organic honey, just like I get at home. They also have a back room with a big enough table for a small conference. I can't wait to visit Olympia again just so I can visit Drip again!

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.

Cozy and quiet atmosphere with spacious seating and beautiful local art. The ham and Swiss croissants are great

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.

Great coffee, friendly people:)

Good priced cappucino and moccachino! Tasty and not too strong!

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.

So good! Dancing Goats coffee! Well trained baristas. Friendly, cozy.

Great little coffee stop. Seating in back. Super friendly service. Honey Vanilla Latte is so good. Gluten free bars and pastries. YUM!

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.

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

Very good espresso, tasty pastry and macrons! Good space for a small meeting or just a comfortable sit with coffee.

They are efficient and have a great space. Batdorf Coffee is always a local favorite for coffee and the baristas aren't uppity!

Perfect spot for a quick stop while downtown; a lunchtime standard for the offices nearby. Friendly staff, consistent quality drinks.

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

They are so friendly, make the greatest drinks and have very reasonable prices!!! Would pick them anytime over any other place.

Cassie was friendly and efficient. Her coffee was tasty and beautiful. Thank you!

Barista was incredibly helpful is selecting exactly what I was looking for, even if I didn't quite know myself.

Favorite coffee in town! I got almost every day to get a mid day work break and coffee walk.

Always kind service and delicious coffee!
