My new favorite! A group of food trucks with something for everyone. Arepa has south American street food and because the bread is all corn flour, it's naturally gluten free. A lot of new foods to try! The cubana blew my mind.
I've been gluten free for over 20 years now (before it was cool), and I can honestly say the gluten free pizza here is possibly the best I've ever had. The sourdough crust is beyond words, and the Hop Sauce absolutely SLAPS (as the young'uns say). I always appreciate a taproom that offers a wide selection of ciders and seltzers, and I wasn't disappointed by the array offered here. The atmosphere is great, and if I lived in Olympia, I'd be a regular for sure.
Nice spot for a nice dinner out. I had the shrimp, artichoke appetizer, and the caprese salad. All were super tasty. I ordered the garden party cocktail, and it was light and refreshing. Price was higher, but good quality experience. I paid about $68 before tips, splitting the artichoke appetizer.
Patio was nicely shaded. Quiet enough that it was a good place for conversation.
Parking would be easy to get. I'd leave the kids at home for this one, save it for a date night.
Vegetarian options were good. Gluten free options were available.
We've always enjoyed our experiences here.
Just a heads up for GF people... the rice pilaf does appear to contain barley, which is NOT gluten free, and I did not see it indicated on the menu.
Very nice market. We went for lunch and got sandwiches at the deli. Great option for someone who is gluten free -- excellent GF bread. Lots of gluten free items around the store too. A little pricey, but a great place to treat yourself to higher end brands and tasty treats!
Lively atmosphere.
Love the impossible burger patty.
Disappointed that it costs $2 extra.
Probably one the best gluten free buns I've had. It's an additional $2
Also, make sure to ask for some other cheese on your burger...not sure why the most expensive burger ($14 - not including the substitution of the impossible patty or gluten free bun) has American Cheese. Additionally, with the most expensive burger, better bacon should be provided. It looked similar to that of the bacon that is insta-microwaved...like at Subway.
Side Salad is $1 and a side of fries is $2 (to go with your burger). The side salad is better than the fries and the salad is probably one of the larger side salads I've had.
The prices are laid out. However, if you want a burger with fries, with all of the fixings, and for it to be edible for your allergies...save up.
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.
Beautiful view, excellent dinner, and top notch service. Sarah, our waitress, was nothing short of attentive and accommodating. She seated us in a spot my girlfriend spotted upon entry. They ran out of Seared Sea scallops; however, the Elk Duet, was my girlfriend's second choice - she said it was delightful. I am gluten free and vegetarian - the salad, red rice and lightly sauteed vegetables were exactly what I needed to complete our evening. Overall, our meal, view, and service was top notch and worthy of return visits.

Incredible. Our sever, Katie, was very attentive. Listened to our preferences and was able to recommend drinks. The bartender was super accommodating to taste, making drinks slightly off recipe to be sweeter, more flavourful. The food was delicious, and they offer plenty of vegan, gluten free and vegetation options. Wonderful atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely a highlight of Olympia.
Best wedding cake I’ve ever eaten in my life. Amazing gluten free and vegan options. I’m obsessed and will absolutely be back! Plus service is top tier!
Another Sofie's in town! Excellent gelato with 2 dairy free options and gluten-free homemade cones. Lovely outdoor sitting area and ample bike parking.
I give this place 5 STARS because I'm gluten free (not by choice). Their Penne GF pasta can be subbed in for any noodle dish. And it is good! Penne. The white wine alfredo sauce is even better!! Tastes homemade, "notmal" and it is great bang for you buck! I do wish they had other styles of GF pasta, but beggars for pasta can't be choosers haha
Great beer selection, decent Cider selection, even several gluten free beers available. Super chill friendly atmosphere. Knowledgeable bar tenders. Food through the window to the 'Our Table' restaurant can be quite good.
Delicious. Friendly. Funky. And unlike a lot of places, they actually understand what 'gluten free' means and will steer your selections accordingly. Enjoy the best fries in town while indulging in unparalleled people-watching at this Olympia classic.
Wild Child has some amazing food options on their new menu, I got the Bacon Jam Burger and it was PHENOMINAL. They also have a gluten free bun available for any of their burgers, and they are quite aware of allergens, and were able to confirm which of their items could be made gluten free. The atmosphere is welcoming and fun, while still having that "local pub" vibe. We also got some drinks, including a flight of some options they have on tap, and they were all great. If you are looking for a good place to get a great burger or sandwich and drinks, especially if you're having a hard time finding a good gluten free option, this place is a great pick!
