First time here and the drink selections to the food was great! Love all the different varieties of milk they have along with the sugar free and regular syrups. The turkey pesto sandwich was pretty scrumptious. Can’t wait to go back to try something new!

Friendly, kind staff, and also talented! My latte was delicious with lovely latte art. The vibe here is classy, creative, clean, and artsy. I love all the goats paintings on the wall! 🐐 🖼 💜

Great venue. Always friendly. I personally enjoy the PNW latte when I visit.. A nice place to take a break during the day or before work. Highly recommend.

Amazing small buisiness owned coffee shop! Coffee is the best and smoothest Ive ever had! Food atmosphere and service is amazing! The baristas and owners are so friendly! Ive been going for years and my only complaint is that its not open on weekends😢.

I always love this place but dont understand something. Before when we would get drip coffee we got free refills after our first cup, thats if you sit down. In which we were sitting at a table but today when I asked for my refill theyre not doing that anymore and now are charging every time you get a new cup. So not sure why this is the new thing. Also not sure why theyre not using actual cups if people are sitting at the tables enjoying their coffee. Im sorry Im just super weirded out by all of this.

Dancing Gosts is an Olympia standard. But, only if youre a coffee drinker. Like most coffee shops they dont understand tea and have a pretty lousy selection of sachets that barely earn the right to be called teas. On top of that they insist on using the water from the espresso machine. Ok for fru fru flavored water but destructive to a real tea. Sorry Olympia, youll just have to go to Tacoma or wait for a decent cup of tea.

I got a small drink and an egg, bacon, cheese croissant sandwich that I felt were a bit pricey for what they were. The sandwich was bland and the chai drink was okay.

This is a Coffee Bar. Food kinda like Starbucks. Stopped here for vanilla latte after it was recommended by friends. Very nice atmosphere. A trendy spot. A little more expensive than Starbucks but worth it. Close to the Lacey Transit Center.

Amazing Gingerbread Latte! Unique combination that is delightful and not too sweet. Also located in the Point Ruston Public Market, which is a local shops open market. Great place to check out!

My wife and I stopped here to refuel before starting another leg of our road trip. The thing that stood out to me the most was that it is a CLEAN place. The layout is very open and they have plenty of seating. The bathrooms were also exceedingly clean and that’s something you need on a road trip!The coffee was also great. My wife can’t have and dairy products right now so we are always asking about nondairy options. They had: almond, soy, and coconut milk.Our drink were prepared quickly and they tasted great. I ordered an Americano while my wife got a a vanilla latte.It was just what we needed to energize and get back on the road.

Nice place to meet for coffee and a quick bite and quite ideal for out of town guests to locate since it is right off the freeway. The espresso was superb as usual. Staff was courteous and efficient. This location can get quite busy at lunch time, so plan your trip accordingly if that is a nuisance for you.

Nice little coffee shop. Clean and upscale. I went four mornings in a row for business meetings. Service was quick and professional. Great tasting coffee (it may be their own blend). They have a small variety of breakfast sandwiches and individual quiches that they will heat up to order for breakfast. All were very tasty. They also have some great looking pastries.

Very good coffee and really nice service. The place is attractive and well laid out. Good assortment of different kinds of coffee and snacks. I tried a brownie it was wonderful. Misplace is directly across from the Lacey Transit Center which means that its a good central location. Highly recommended.

Just had an amazing iced white mocha and a bacon and cheddar breakfast croissant. Hands down the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had! My daughter loved her scone. Only suggestion would be some music. It was quiet and I felt like I was in a library. Everything was amazing. We will be back soon!

Review №43

Only drawbacks for me is that some of the staff is less than friendly and I tip.. and there was some extremely disturbing song playing! So here is the scoop .. you will be pleased by the comfort of the environment and seating. This was not just another paper cup coffee shop. You will get a toasting quality drink with beautiful art in the foam to compliment it.

I love Dancing Goats! The coffee is always prepared well, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the place is always clean.They also sell nice coffee mugs. I have to admit a weakness for me is the cute mugs I can sometimes find as Dancing Goats locations.

Review №45

Amazing and calming. When you want to go sit and enjoy some coffee, or grab a cup and a snack to run errands/go to work, this is the kind of place you want to go. The atmosphere is both calming and fun. Sit and relax, if you can. The staff are kind and good at their jobs, even when coming in first thing in the morning. Definitely recommend, if youre looking for a good cup of coffee and a pleasant experience.

Review №58

I love the coffee and atmosphere but the staff is so rude. I’ve come in a handful of times but I’m too weirded out to make this a regular place, which is disappointing because it’s near my work. Every interaction with the cashier is unnecessarily awkward, unfriendly, and inefficient. They also don’t have proper knowledge of the products being sold.

Review №59

I was sadly disappointed that they had no dancing goats inside, of any kind. However, I got a cappuccino from them and bought some coffee grounds. The cappuccino was above average but not among the best. I believe I got their Ethopian grounds and they have been delicious. I even used them to try out cold brew. Very fresh.

Went here yesterday 13 April 2019 and I don’t know who the friendly staff was for all the other reviews, but they were not friendly at all. I walked in about 3 different people looked at me no one not one of them offered a good morning or a smiling face. Finally one of the ladies said what are you having today. I asked a question about the coffee she answered but she had no enthusiasm or desire to help me find a drink. However all the others who walked in after me were greeted with good mornings how are you etc. maybe they were regulars or maybe I just didn’t look like them. Either way I won’t be back. This is why when I’m not able to go to my usual spots I stick with Starbucks they typically have good customer service not saying they have never had any issues (as we know they have if you watch the news), but thankfully I have never had to endure any bad treatment from them. Long story short the coffee was really good, but I will never be back. Professionalism training 101 when someone walks into your establishment you greet them regardless of what they look like or if they are a regular or not!

Dancing Goats was very busy when I visited, but that did not impact the cleanliness nor the service. I was greeted right away, my order was filled before I could even take a seat. This is a great place to grab a bite or a cup of coffee or tea, especially if you were meeting a friend.

Review №63

The coffee bar Starbucks wishes it could be. Not only are the coffee drinks consistently good, theyve got fine choices for food and treats. Friendly and efficient service, comfortable seating, and plenty of free parking (whats not to like, about that?). Tables big enough for your and 4 or 5 others, if youre looking for a casual meeting. A great location near SPSCCs Lacey campus and the State and private office buildings around Woodland Square Loop.

Review №67

Merely adequate customer service, except for the very polite owner, but excellent coffee, every visit. Good atmosphere. Attracts a sunday-morning older crowd--I certainly am fine with that, they always seem polite and nice. Also has good cold coffee, good cold uncommon bottled and canned drinks, and decent sandwiches and pastries. Unlike some coffee places in Olympia, this one is actually cozy enough to want to sit down at.

These guys are cheap. I bought a cold brew coffee they put a inch of cold brew and then filled the cup with ice and poured hot coffee over it. A cup of burnt, watered down, mixed flavors, that was a waste of money. #givethecustomerwhattheybought #coffeescammers #betterbusinessinlaceywa

When Im near this area I get coffee at Dancing Goats, because its the best in the area. I come here when I just want a walk in and out coffee experience. I have tried to come here to have coffee and sit but its always too busy. It isnt a good place to study due to the noise and amount of people and lack of available seating. I wish there were a drive through, it would be easier to get my coffee and go.

Great coffee. They have this pastry called a kouign-amann that is the tastiest pastry Ive ever had. They unfortunately have leaky cup covers right now; almost every coffee Ive gotten in the last month leaks out the rim and drips on me when I drink. I hope their batch of covers runs out already.

The seating is hell. I have anxiety and hate going new places. I was meeting a friend here and this place stressed me out. I found a cute two person table, grab my tea, turn around, and some woman had claimed it with her personal items before ordering. There are a few tables in the center, all of which were claimed by two gentlemen, waiting for other people. So I had to stand awkwardly with my teacup and saucer, for some seats to open up. It happens, two comfy chairs and a little table. I briskly walk over and sit to wait for my friend. She arrives, we have a good time. We stand up to hug and say our goodbyes (my drink still on the table mind you) and this middle aged couple swoops in to sit down before we were even finished! It was ridiculous. The only redeeming factor was that the owner saw that we were unhappy, and ran out to the parking lot to ask us what had happened. He was nice. I just cant handle the seating, or lack thereof.
