Crema's Take
“This Lacey espresso stand has earned fierce loyalty through genuine relationships and consistency, with regulars raving about baristas like Jordyn who know their orders so well that drinks are often ready before they even park. The crew here specializes in quick, quality espresso drinks with a "surprise me" approach that keeps customers coming back, though quality can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the counter. It's the kind of place where a five-minute coffee run becomes a friendly ritual, especially if you catch the right regular baristas during weekday mornings.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Drive-thru.

I go to the lacey store. Jordyn and Kenzie are wonderful! They know my drink and most times by the time I pull up it's made and ready for me. Also I've never had a bad drink there. I've been to the yelm store 3 times and have not had a good experience there once!!! No sparkle…
Oct 29, 2025..Probably is the worst coffee I had so far in Washington. TBH it was trash. Had a frappe that was so water down. Didn’t taste the coffee or the sweetness. Had to try to save it and added caramel at home. Also ordered the French toast bagel sandwich. Don’t waste…
