Northwest Grind
625 Black Lake Blvd SW, Olympia, WA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside an Olympia mall but with its own welcoming entrance, Northwest Grind wins hearts with consistently smooth, richly balanced espresso that customers genuinely look forward to—paired with genuinely excellent breakfast sandwiches featuring thick-cut bacon and impossibly soft eggs. The space strikes that sweet spot between specialty coffee seriousness and cozy hangout vibes, with a menu that ranges from traditional espresso drinks to creative specialty options, all backed by staff who actually care about getting your order right.”

the food is great i got the basic breakfast sandwich and it was hot and cheesy! long thick cut bacon and a super soft egg (didn’t taste frozen). the coffee was great smooth not bitter and not too sweet. a little milk heavy but that’s a personal taste preference.
Northwest Grind has become one of my favorite coffee stops. Their coffee is consistently smooth, rich, and comforting—the kind you look forward to all morning. I typically add read peanut butter. I especially love their location at the Capital Mall. It’s the perfect end point to our dog walks. We stroll, get our steps in, and then finish strong with a great cup of coffee while the dogs get a well-deserved rest. ☕🐾 It’s such a simple joy, but Northwest Grind makes it feel like a little ritual I don’t want to miss. Great coffee, great location, and always a welcoming stop.
The counter service was nice. The coffee good, but limited food selection. The seating is about awkward but I think most people don’t stay to sit. My one gripe about is the don’t take American Express. They chose to increase their margin instead of considering the customer experience! So, I’ll not be back.
A little more expensive, but worth it! I’ve never actually been in the store, but my boyfriend and I have ordered from DoorDash and absolutely love the coffee options. There are a few things that set them apart - one of them being the incredible flavor of their espresso! I usually get a mocha with alternative milk and he gets a Big Train. One of my favorites in Oly!
This is a great coffee place that's in the mall but has its own entrance. It's super cute inside with seating. Lots of choices of beverages and snacks. The customer service was amazing! I would absolutely recommend this place to others!
