I am amazed every time I go here! The food is incredible, the people are lovely, and you can tell they put a lot of thought and care into their offerings. Try their coffee cakes with a cup of tea or latte, you won't regret it.

This place is the cutest spot with amazing plant based and gluten free options. The coffee is my favorite in town and the Reuben is unmatched.

Small coffee shop with delicious vegan treats and sandwiches. Not a lot of places to sit down so no parties larger than 3. My meat loving family absolutely adored this place and the sandwiches were surprisingly "meaty"

The Owl's Nest Coffee + Pastries stands out as my go-to coffee with a bakery option in Olympia, where I can visit multiple times a week. In the downtown area, it competes with two unique coffee and bakery options in close proximity, yet The Owl's Nest captures me more often than not. Perhaps the 'closest' or the welcoming staff draws me in, but it's worth noting that the other establishments are wonderful.
What sets The Owl's Nest apart is not just the quality of its offerings but the warmth and dedication of its staff. The presence of the owner, sometimes working alongside her mother, adds a personal touch that I greatly admire. It's a pleasant atmosphere, combined with the staff remembering a face.
For those with dietary preferences or restrictions, The Owl's Nest offers an all-vegan and gluten-free menu, a rarity compared to its local counterparts. This and its cozy ambiance make it an essential stop for anyone looking for quality plant-based options. I'll admit, sometimes completely vegan places can turn me off if there is a sense of 'superiority' about the choice, but never here, so I deeply appreciate they do this very well.
The menu at The Owl's Nest boasts an array of delectable choices, from their rich coffee and tea beverages to homemade pastries, sandwiches, and salads. While I tend to gravitate towards their coffee and pastries — particularly enjoying their muffins and cookies — my mother has raved about the scones, which are reportedly a must-try.
The Owl's Nest features Trailhead coffee and Metolius tea, emphasizing locally sourced ingredients and showcasing a commitment to supporting Northwest-Oregon brands. I grew up in Oregon and appreciate seeing some Oregon Brands in Olympia. Their ethical approach and dedication to quality are evident in every aspect of their business.
In summary, The Owl's Nest Coffee + Pastries is more than just a coffee shop; it's a delightful spot that combines excellent food and drink with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a beautiful place.

We were visiting from Vancouver, BC (Canada) and found this great spot to have a nice coffee and snack. The coffee and food were great and the staff so friendly. We went back 2 days in row! The grilled cheese sandwich was our favourite.

Went to another coffee shop down the street first, that was the mistake. Didn't like their latte, so we meandered to this shop, and it saved the morning. The iced latte was so yummy, not too sweet, and the beans were smooth. My partner got two different cookies and loved them both. We also were able to get lovely smelling local candles. Literally going back the same day for our afternoon latte before heading to the beach.
