“ WOW - the Brew Crew here are so friendly. And if you start coming a few times a week they will remember you and your drink. They have a KETO - sugar free blended mocha with heavy cream. Ok I had a cave in when I saw the S’mores cookie. A great little shop making local a habit !!! ”

“ I thought I was impressed with all the coffeeshops I’ve seen in my PNW trip, but I was truly amazed with Cafe au Lait. I was thinking a shop within the mall storefront but I was so amazed to find that it was a cute little hut sitting in the parking lot! Then the service by the wonderful girls was out of this world. Kind, caring, and with a smile. And the coffee, oh my god! That was incredible! And the food was so tasty too. I could go on and on... I’m only sad that this is my one and only day in Olympia because I would love to come back here again and again. So make sure to get your coffee here if you’re in town! ”
“ Quick and easy drive thru coffee shop! Customer service and blended coffee were both top tier! ”
“ Absolutely the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. For sure will never order drinks elsewhere. Not only is their customer service superb, their drinks are always tasty. The owner goes above and beyond to correct a mistake and ensures you have a delightful experience . Barista Jess made sure we felt appreciated for feeling comfortable having the air corrected. Good honest customer service is hard to find these days. Thanks Barb & Jess if there was an award to give, you would both have earned it!!! Marsha & Destiny ”
“ They are amazing love the staff! Very friendly and always helpful. Was very new to this stand after my first time being there, they made the drinks so good and great staff once again! My partner and I really enjoy coming up here. We wish there was one closer in the Centralia/Chehalis. Outbeating Avenue! Hemp milk, Almond mink they got it! Also Lotus! How they make their drinks is not too sweet and not too bitter it's fantastic! ”
“ Great service and lattes! I'm not sure of the low reviews as I only came here once and got a really unique and smooth flavored Latte that I would definitely want to come back for. The service was beyond perfect. They make you feel extremely comfortable and happy to come back! My wife enjoyed the coffee and chocolate swirl cheesecake bakery item. The ladies here are better than most other coffee stands. I'm really sad to read they get disrespected by other customers as seen in the reviews. You guys are awesome. I have been to other coffee shops and not one made me write a review this long and thorough. Keep doing what you are doing ! And I hope this honest review will make everyone want to come here and make you ladies happy ”
