I wish I had found this restaurant sooner! If you're gluten-free, this place is absolute heaven!
Everything on the menu is gluten-free and the ingredients for the waffle batter are listed in the front of the menu. This is especially important for others who, like me, have multiple allergies.
Wait staff is excellent at answering questions about items on the menu. They have a wonderful variety of waffle dishes, both savory and sweet, which is their specialty. It's so hard to find a safe, gluten-free waffle when you eat out, and they not only have Celiac safe food, it's absolutely five-star yummy!
My partner, who can eat anything, says that he can't tell these are not traditional wheat waffles. Although he can order any item from the menu, he always get waffles. That's how good they are!
They also have a fun atmosphere with a fish aquarium on the big screen and a cozy setting where you can relax and enjoy your scrumptious food.
Go there and eat waffles for breakfast, brunch and lunch! You'll be glad that you did!
Great that there were so many gluten free options. Espresso drinks were great, service staff were very kind. Seating was okay- it was rainy when we went, so we couldn't sit outside but I bet that'd be nice. Highly recommend the herb/cheddar scone!
some of the best and most flavorful cauliflower wings ever!! how is the ranch vegan? it was so good! i also had the fluffernutter cookie which again was beyond great, also so surprised it was gluten and vegan! i felt so welcomed and cannot wait to come back and support a business that is passionate about what they do!! as someone with gluten, dairy and egg allergies i often eat at vegan places to avoid cross contamination, i explained this to the server and they were so excited to help me navigate the menu!
TONS of Gluten Free options here! Very friendly, very accommodating! Great foods! This is a vegan restaurant and they have soooooooo many gluten free options.
Great ice cream with innovative flavors. Like that they have gluten free ice cream and cones.
The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and polite and even offered a clean new scooper to ensure no glutencross contact.
And off course thank you for letting our daughter sample multiple flavors š
This has become one of my favorite places to grab a bite in Oly. Truly a hidden Gem! Gluten free Sammy's. I LOVE their raspberry grilled cheese with chicken added. Handcrafted shakes or juice and coffee. If you have not already you must try out this place and check out their Sanctuary outside seating. They place soundbath music. And sell cute little trinkets too.
Super popular location, so if you are in a rush, consider visiting just before or after the lunch hours as they are seemingly always slammed. The staff are a mix of really dynamic personalities and lackluster folks just there for a paycheck. For the most part, they are fantastic. I frequent this place and my only wish is that they offer more gluten free options and label the ones they do have. Once, I overheard an employee tell a customer that certain holiday cookies were gluten free, but there was no way to know to ask that. If you need to customize your order, I recommend you go inside. The drive thru is next to a busy street and the staff often struggle to hear over the road noise, especially on rainy days.
Such an amazing stand with a great staff! So many great food options including gluten free options as well. Every espresso shot is pulled to perfection! Will always be my favorite stand! :)
Tasty pastries, good coffee, and without a doubt the best baristas in Thurston County. (That is saying something, since there are many great baristas in this town.)
Pastries: Baked fresh daily by the owners. There is an occasional miss, but rarely. I love gluten, but no protest from me about the gluten-free raspberry bars. (Try them heated up slightly.) My wife loves the lemon blueberry scones. Currently they are serving a pumpkin coffee cake. I rarely eat coffee cake, but my wife almost did not get her share when I tried some.
Coffee and such: Good product overall. They are one of the very few coffee stands/bars in town that does a good chai, meaning the dirty chai is my go-to drink there. They have a good quality chocolate if mocha is your drink of choice. Hint for those obsessed with pumpkin spice: in season they make their own pumpkin spice for their drinks. I am not a pumpkin spice aficionado, but it's pretty good.
Service: Did I mention these are the best baristas in a town with some great baristas? Even when the line of state workers requiring caffeination is long, they handle the pressure well. I keep trying to talk one of the baristas into going to a barista art competition, given the designs she pours into the cup. I'm sure they must exist somewhere.
Atmosphere: Comfortable, given that they are in the lobby of a building with small offices and apartments. The seating in the lobby itself is cozy, and there are chairs and tables and a reasonably cozy nook around back. Some might rate the atmosphere lower, but they do well with the space they have.
Price: For years, my one complaint has been the price, although "you get what you pay for" is true here. In 2023, I think their prices are about average with most other coffee joints in town. If you are paying about the same at other places, you might as well enjoy the product and service at Drip.
Bottom line: Give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Love this location much more than the Tacoma Proctor district location. Visited today on our way to Oregon with my husband and two little boys. This has a much more welcoming energy, smaller, outside seating only. Our barista was a pleasure to talk to, so personable, helpful and kind. She was my ideal barista. I wish I had caught her name to give her kudos for being a bright light in our day. The coffees are perfect and the treats are a great pairing. I appreciate they have gluten free and gluten free + vegan options. Thank you!
Foods good. They could use an extra person more often but I get the struggle. Vibe is decent seating could use a cushion or 3. My partner loves the gluten free macaroons.
Absolutely the most delicious donuts in town. They have different flavors daily, reasonably priced and is family owned. Their homemade flan is incredible, and they have vegan and gluten free options. Highly recommend this place
