Environment: Half wood, half carpet gives it a warm welcoming feeling. A long bar gives a unique feeling you don’t find at most coffee shops. A fireplace, different ground levels, and plants give a real organic and open atmosphere.
Baristas: Baristas don’t get personal. They don’t seem too excited to make friends. (male & female)
Music: Volume is perfect; good variety too!
Seating: Tables are always full; every time we come we’ve had to sit at the bar.
Parking: Awful. Downtown parking is never good.
Population: Current head count: over 30 @ 2:25pm (Extremely popular!)
Drive through? No
Isaiah: (6)
Though often busy, it never seems cluttered. It can be a little difficult to find seating sometimes but the whole shop is very large. Not much of a view outside, but they have couches
and large tables. Overall environment isn’t bad and I’d give it a 6. The baristas are very good, but not outgoing like the other Batdorf.
Hannah: (7 ¾ -8)
The best thing about this coffee shop is the wide variety of seating. They have tables, couches, chairs and a bar. They also have large tables good for business meetings. I give it a few extra points for having a Yoda and Godzilla sitting next to their coffee. If it weren’t so populated I would come here all the time, but I think that everyone in Olympia realizes how awesome this shop is. They have good pastries, and a fireplace which really makes it homey. However, I really appriciate a coffee shop with people I know or baristas that are friendly which I find this one lacking.
