Heading towards fall, we are delighted to welcome our friends from Olympia Coffee Roasting Company as our next Resident beginning September 12! With several cafe’s across the city serving their beans, Olympia Coffee is no stranger to Seattle. Their residence at the Cafe however, will serve as somewhat of a sneak-peak into October, when they are scheduled to open their first location outside of Olympia right here in West Seattle.
