The Owl's Nest coffee + pastries
116 Capitol Way N, Olympia, WA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into downtown Olympia, The Owl's Nest has mastered the art of the cozy third space with genuinely attentive staff who make regulars feel like family. Their vegan sandwiches—particularly the surprisingly tangy Reuben—pair beautifully with carefully crafted lattes and fresh-baked scones, making it the kind of place where you'll happily linger for hours with a book or laptop on a rainy Pacific Northwest afternoon.”

It’s been a couple of years since my trip to the Pacific Northwest and I’ve been meaning to review this super cute place ever since. We had two delicious vegan sandwiches and the loveliest part of the visit is that they let us purchase cakes to take away and held them for us for a few hours until we were leaving town. Thank you so much to the thoughtful staff at Owls Nest for your kind gesture and making our lovely visit to Olympia really memorable!
1st time at Owl’s Nest Coffee Shop in downtown Olympia, and it won’t be my last! The cozy, inviting atmosphere was the perfect place to read on a cold, rainy day. My pumpkin spice latte hit all the right notes: warm, perfectly spiced, and comforting. The avocado toast was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to go back and make this a regular spot!
I’ve been coming here regularly, and every visit just reminds me why I love this place. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive — they genuinely try to remember your name and make you feel like part of the community. You can tell they enjoy working together; there’s such an easy, friendly energy behind the counter. Their drinks are always beautifully made (they even make sure the latte art looks perfect every time!) and taste amazing — smooth coffee, flavorful chai, and consistently well-balanced flavors. The pastries are just as good: fresh, creative, and clearly baked with care. The cozy atmosphere, great music, and welcoming team make it a place I look forward to visiting — it’s the kind of café that brightens your day. Highly recommend
The cafe is cute and comfy. The vegan sandwiches are so dang good. Especially the Reuben. And I don't even like Rubens but its so tangy and yummy. My husband loves the coffee and I always get a scone or cookie. One of my favorite spots in Olympia.
What a great coffee shop. The lattes are tasty, though the syrups lean on the sweeter side. The shop itself is cute and in a lovely area to hang out, with plenty of food options to go along with your coffee. The staff is always kind and welcoming, which makes the space feel extra inviting.
