Schwartz's — Restaurant in Olympia

Schwartz's is a delightful addition to San Francisco's bakery shops; in downtown Olympia, nestled within three blocks, it offers another choice– there are three diverse options for bakery goods with a coffee shop ambiance. Each spot is unique, catering to different tastes, though I find myself appreciating aspects of all of them.

As for Schwartz's in downtown Olympia, it is an inviting venue, albeit one I frequent slightly less often. It exudes the typical downtown Olympia vibe for a coffee shop, offering a smaller bakery selection than you might find at its flagship store or the farmer's market.

However, it's a lovely place to have in the area. On my visits, I'm particularly fond of their choice to carry Batdorf & Bronson coffee—a personal favorite of mine, but I enjoy some other local coffee. Olympia is fortunate to have excellent coffee options; the barista often makes all the difference. Occasionally, I also pop in for a sandwich.

Overall, Schwartz's is a beautiful spot for grabbing coffee, a bagel, a few pastries, or indulging...

I just had a very strange experience here. Walked in to a mostly empty place. One person behind the counter, leaning on the case, engrossed in her phone. I stand on the customer side, right in front of her, and she doesn't acknowledge me in the slightest. I peered into the case, as one does as they are making their selection. She still doesn't move. I step to the ordering spot. She still does not look up or disengage from her phone. Not wanting to reciprocate rudeness, I tap lightly on the counter. Still nothing. So I of course walk out. Bad...

I've overheard great things about the owner as a person in general. So, that is a plus to be in support of a business for.

They have good prices and I love their berry cream cheese pastries. I get more excited when I see them on the day old rack.

It feels like a very comfortable environment to socialize with a friend or partner in. (Not loud and Noisy)

Again,

The employees seem to appreciate their boss as a person. So, that makes me feel good about revisiting again and again to support a small business. (I think its a a small business)
