Plum Street Espresso — Restaurant in Olympia

Got here thirty minutes before they closed as we just finished a meal nearby but wanted some caffeine on the way home to Federal Way. The reviews were high and I always love an espresso spot that has monthly specials as I am a sucker for trying out themed or unique drinks. There was another car in front of us so we got to peek at their regular menu for a little bit but it was on their window and pretty small. As we arrived at the ordering spot, we got to see a bigger version of their menu and the May specials (they usually post it online but I don't see the May one). I got the creamy colada while my boyfriend got the Tres Leche Latte. The drinks were made to perfection and hit the spot.

The cashier/barista was very friendly, professional and patient with us as she knew it was our first time.

The other day I got a tea... just a tea... and it was delicious. They have a full selection of milk types, and don't up-charge much (if at all, I can't recall) for non-dairy milks. Do yourself a favor and...

The espresso is good and the employees are very friendly but unfortunately paying over $6 for a 12 oz americano (two shots of espresso with hot water) and a small cup of ice is unreasonable to me. I’m not sure if the heavy cream on the side was extra. I asked for small cup of ice and after payment was ran I saw that I was charged for a “water”. I think it would be helpful to tell customers about charging for extra things before running payment. I only needed a few ice cubes. After tip, this became a very expensive coffee run. There was only one car in front of us when we arrived and it was...
