Skep & Skein Tavern

“The place to see live music in Olympia. Owner, Andy Geersten books the best local talent weekly (Monday Jazz Night, Thursday Funk night, Sunday Stone Soup) and is always getting amazing touring bands to stop in Olympia between Seattle and Portland. ”

“This is a great little laundromat which I have personally used when I need to wash my big comforters and sleeping bags. Close to where you are and very neat and clean with a postal substation next door. There is an attendant on duty so you can feel pretty safe that you can leave and come back. Have a drink next door at Iron Rabitt. ”

“If coffee, science and art had a baby it would be named Olympia Coffee Roasters. Local, new age, and classic. Bringing you a coffee like no other. We recommend you try their pour over. Sure the espresso is good but their coffee is meant to move slow and create a full body cup of coffee with specific note that will make you melt. You can't find coffee anywhere else in town like this. This location is small and quaint. To get the FULL sit down experience we recommend heading downtown to their 4th Ave location.”

“All organic! They feature as much local veggies, fruit, cheeses, breads and other products as they can get. You will find fresh coffee and fresh pastry every day; try the healthy takeout foods and the Kombucha bar, too.”
