Crema's Take

“This downtown Olympia gem has earned a fiercely loyal following from serious coffee enthusiasts who compare it favorably to Seattle's best, with reviewers consistently calling it among the finest cups they've ever had. The skilled baristas deliver both traditional espresso drinks and thoughtful pour overs with meticulous attention to quality beans, while the low-key, friendly atmosphere makes it feel like a genuine local favorite rather than a tourist destination. Whether you're grabbing a smooth oat latte in a hurry or settling in for a carefully crafted coffee experience, Bar Francis strikes that rare balance of approachability and excellence that keeps people coming back.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot.

I would call myself a coffee fanatic, I personally have an espresso machine and a grinder because we were spending so much on buying coffee out. That said I have done a few coffee “crawls” Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, and Olympia..also other small town coffee shops on my hiking…

Bar Francis is the ACTUAL best coffee in Olympia. Similar to the quality of cafe vita in Seattle (my personal favorite there)

We stopped in purposely and were not disappointed. The Oat latte was an amazing smooth and flavourful coffee! Added bonus, the barista drew us a map to help us with our walking tour of the murals!

Delicious coffee everytime. Good pricing and quality beans are used in making great coffee beverages. Fast and friendly service. This low-key local spot is my go to for a good coffee when in downtown Olympia. You won't be disappointed.
