Schwartz's

Schwartz's is a delightful addition to San Francisco's bakery shops; in downtown Olympia, nestled within three blocks, it offers another choice– there are three diverse options for bakery goods with a coffee shop ambiance. Each spot is unique, catering to different tastes, though I find myself appreciating aspects of all of them.

As for Schwartz's in downtown Olympia, it is an inviting venue, albeit one I frequent slightly less often. It exudes the typical downtown Olympia vibe for a coffee shop, offering a smaller bakery selection than you might find at its flagship store or the farmer's market.

However, it's a lovely place to have in the area. On my visits, I'm particularly fond of their choice to carry Batdorf & Bronson coffee—a personal favorite of mine, but I enjoy some other local coffee. Olympia is fortunate to have excellent coffee options; the barista often makes all the difference. Occasionally, I also pop in for a sandwich.

Overall, Schwartz's is a beautiful spot for grabbing coffee, a bagel, a few pastries, or indulging in a sandwich.

The white chocolate mocha was amazing and the batista was so wonderful!! The place has a chill vibe and the artwork on the walls are just amazing!! Overall love the vibe and the coffee is great!

Semi-busy Saturday afternoon and we stepped in to a packed Schwartz’s. Very chill atmosphere, not too many tables, all full, and several with the now common single person taking a table with a laptop and papers spread out. Oh, well, we took our sandwiches outside and enjoyed the people watching. Tasty lunch and the pickle! So good, so good. Almost forgot! Peek in the back and check out the almost hidden bookcase full of books! How many delis have one of those?

Love their coffee, bagels, and pastries!! They always have really cool art on the walls, and it rotates, so there's something new to see every once in a while.

Food was delicious. Had good non dairy options, available bagel selection was somewhat limited at the time we arrived.

Don't let the short menu fool you; they've got some of the best bagels I've ever had. Great coffee, as well, but the lox deluxe really is a serious highlight of my week. Friendly service, great atmosphere, good location, though finding nearby parking on a busy weekend can sometimes be a bit of a challenge

Best rugelach, best café latte in downtown corridor! Date you to find a better Latte and pastry.

The first time I came, I wanted coffee to help curb a migraine. I called ahead, and I was able to get a coffee to go 15 minutes before close. Today, I got coffee and settled in to work. I noticed your barista helping a visually impaired lady sit down to enjoy her coffee. I commend you on having a great local business with a wonderful staff! I highly recommend this location to people for lunch, coffee, chatting, and friendly service.

Ilana did a great job attending to my many questions as well as assisting me in preparing a large order of bagels and cream cheese for a shower.

I've overheard great things about the owner as a person in general. So, that is a plus to be in support of a business for.

They have good prices and I love their berry cream cheese pastries. I get more excited when I see them on the day old rack.

It feels like a very comfortable environment to socialize with a friend or partner in. (Not loud and Noisy)

Again,

The employees seem to appreciate their boss as a person. So, that makes me feel good about revisiting again and again to support a small business. (I think its a a small business)

Good coffee, fresh bagels with a variety of cream cheese choices.

Nice little corner bakery coffee shop with a laid-back atmosphere and really really nice staff. I grabbed the bag of day-old bagels there was like seven for three dollars which was really good deal, and they still taste fresh and got a large cup of drip coffee which is really good to. Have to give props to the staff that were here today because I shared my grief of my father passing away two days ago and they were very compassionate, listened to and it was healing for me to share and have somebody listen and respond the way they did so I send a big thank you to them!

Quirky downtown bakery and coffee shop with excellent bagels, quiche, cookies and much more. If you are familiar with San Francisco Street Bakery, then you'll know them (same owner).

The bagels are really delicious! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside — not too dense so it doesn’t fill you up before you finish it. My favorite part is the different flavors of cream cheese! Yummy

Got the everything bagel with smoke salmon and it was absolutely 💯 would return again!

Warm and friendly. Bagel with hummus was delicious. Coffee was good, and a free refill. Super close to the transit, so it's a good choice for the coffee after the bus ride

I've been here a twice now for a bagel and I love it. Super quiet spot off the main strip in downtown Olympia and they have some pretty good pastries too. They have Kombucha in a fridge against the back wall as well if you're into it, which I am.

Best bagels in Olympia! Clean place, helpful, kind & friendly staff. WiFi available 😊

Great Oly cafe with Ottos roots. They were nice and courteous even though I talked too much. Bakery treats from SF

I love having coffee with my man that I will marry DAN ISBORN DIANA BAILEY
