National Coffee Day Round 2


Round two! Stop #3 Olympia Coffee Roasting Co. where I enjoyed a single origin espresso. The Costa Rica Llano Bonito Natural espresso tasted like Sugar Smacks. It was well balanced, sweet, and had a caramel/molasses finish. I really like the ambiance of this shop. The music was pretty dope too. I know it’s super hipster but Bon Iver’s Woods was playing and it’s kinda perfect for a grey rainy day.
The final shop for today was Sizizis. Usually I don’t say anything if my coffee experience was bad…not today. I ordered a macchiato and was served a bad cappuccino. This was not by accident because the barista called out macchiato. The drink was not good. I’m sure it not always this bad. I’m simply reviewing my one experience on this day.
So that’s it!! I hope you have a wonderfully caffeinated National Coffee Day.

It’s almost Friday


Today I got a visit from Akaash Saini a vlogger from Seattle. We originally met at the first Seattle Coffee Society meeting. He was visiting Olympia for the opening of the farmer’s market . luckily he had time to stop by Espresso Parts for a quick tour and a shot of The Sermon espresso we got from Verve yesterday. This is the fist time I have had Verve and I am very impressed, the espresso ended up like a PB&J sandwich in the cup.

I showed him around EP and we had a shot of Big Truck at Olympia Coffee.  Our last stop was Sizizis a 24hr shop that serves Hairbender from Stumptown.  It was nice to show off some really good local shops and talk coffee.
