We will be attempting to enjoy a moment or two with family and friends. Because of that, our hours will be slightly different this 4th.
We will groggily open our doors at 8AM and giddily close them at 5 PM.
We will however, be super amazing and (dare I say it?) nice all day long whilst pulling amazing shots and pouring the beloved art.
This means you DO need to show up and receive from our plentiful bounty.
I was recently looking through our Yelp reviews and noticed a common theme…
We aren’t as trendy as other shops in Olympia!! Damn (spoken with the utmost sarcasm).
The reviews are right, we aren’t as trendy as other shops in Olympia. So I wonder, what does trendy taste like? Should I be worried about the taste of trendy? Does trendy even have a flavor profile? Mmmm, not last time I checked.
We don’t put huge amounts of effort into looking a certain way because deep inside our little hearts, we don’t actually care! We are far more interested in the quality of our product. We have this crazy idea that if you care about quality, you might forego the trendy to experience something noteworthy.
We pour ourselves (dumb pun) into sourcing, roasting, and serving the best coffees in the world, all the while being responsible to our fellow human beings and the environment. We take pride in everything we do because we believe in the power of Quality. You will know it when you experience it. Why would a certain look make coffee better? Here is a hint, one has nothing to do with the other.
Come check us out and see why we could care less about trendy.
Come join us this Friday at 6 PM for some amazing acoustic magic.
Friday, June 17th @ 6pm
I’ve never experienced either, but if you were to ride a bullet train while wearing blinders and staring out a side window, you’ve got an accurate picture of May. We didn’t ever really see it. Yes folks, a blur.
June, enter stage right!! We can see straight again and have something to say. “Coffee.” There, I said it.
Ummm, toddy is flowing again in all it’s ebony glory. Also, we are anxiously awaiting many coffees from Indonesia, Africa and Central America. If you have liked our Costa Rican coffees in the past, you will be blown away by the offerings this year. Ethiopia also looks to be promising this year. El Salvador is a new old favorite and should be along almost any day now. Sumatra? Another good year with poor availability at the outset. It’ll happen though.
Keep checking back for more updates as our coffees begin rolling in.
…or through the window, or through anything transparent that will allow you to see outside without feeling the cold, will give you the impression that Spring has sprung. There are many reasons we like spring, one of which is the knowledge that Summer is near and we can stop shivering for the first time in 9 months.
We also like Spring because the sun stays in our view longer each day. With the lengthening days comes lengthening hours of operation!!
We will be staying open until 7pm Monday through Friday starting on April 25th. So until that magical orb in the sky begins its traverse toward darkness, we will be open until 7pm.
See you Monday evening!!
We have our AMAZING Brazil Santo Antonio Estate Samambaia Peaberry Yellow Bourbon (say it fast 10 times) on the shelves and ready to go home with you. This is one of the farms I had the pleasure of visiting last August while “roughing it” in Brazil (picture wonderful people, mind-blowing food, and drinks that can either make you smile, or erase your past depending on the quantity consumed. Nothing like taking one for the team. It was rough). It rules and you should buy it.
Next up is an Ethiopian that will take you to that special place in your mind.
Ethiopia Dry Process Limu -Nigusie Lemma is the name of this fruit-bomb of a gem. It should grace our roastery doors later this week, and be available for human consumption by Friday. We are giggly about it. Really.
Starting today, we will be closing at 6pm everyday except Saturdays (Fools Play from 8-10pm).
Also, we have an Ethiopian theme this week. All three of our Ethiopian coffees are available for purchase as whole bean or as a pourover on Hario. Amazing really. Life is better with some Ethiopian in your day.
We will be hosting seminars starting January 25th.
…shmew year.
We are still roasting and serving an array of truly amazing coffees. We have also done some tweaking with our espresso blend and have discovered bliss therein. We don’t need resolutions and fanfare. We just keep trying to be better at what we do every single day.
Come order a cup of bliss and see what happens.
You are probably not aware that we had a wedding at the shop the weekend of the 11th, but you might have heard that there was something worth celebrating!!
Our Holiday Blend (which changes every year based on our mood) is an unorthodox (bad pun indeed) blend for the holidays (as it’s name implies) that couples the deep, resonant tones of Indonesia, to the wild and fruity tastes of Southern Mexico, all seasoned with the juicy, floral amazingness we like to see from Ethiopia. Truly remarkable.
New just today is our Ethiopia Lekempti (Wollega Leka Wato). You can expect floral and fruit notes with lemon-drop top notes and a brown sugar sweetness in the finish. Available Tuesday the 21st of December
