Our takeOlympia Coffee's competition record is among the more decorated of any Washington-state roaster. According to Thurston Talk, the company has won the United States Brewers Cup and the United States Barista Competition — national-level titles that reflect sustained investment in technical excellence rather than one-off results. Locally, it has been voted Best Coffee five consecutive years in Olympia's Best of Olympia rankings, per the same source. Visitors to any of the eight cafés — spread across Downtown Olympia, South and West Olympia, Proctor Tacoma, Downtown Seattle, Columbia City, and West Seattle, plus the affiliated Moonrise Bakery — can expect a retail-forward environment with brewing equipment, merchandise, tea, and chocolate alongside espresso and filter drinks. The online shop ships nationwide with free shipping on orders over $50, and a subscription program handles recurring orders for those outside the Pacific Northwest.
