Olympia Coffee Roasting Company in Tacoma’s Proctor District.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Olympia Coffee Roasting Company<\/a> opens its fifth location today in the historic Proctor neighborhood in the north end of Tacoma, Washington. This is the company’s first retail location in co-owner Oliver Stormshak’s hometown and their second outside of Olympia (their shop in West Seattle opened earlier this year<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Stormshak recalls visiting Tacoma cafes growing up in the 90s. “Tacoma cafes played a huge role in shaping me as a coffee professional. Temple of the Bean was my personal favorite while I was in high school,” Stormshak tells us (Temple of the Bean is now Cosmonaut<\/a>). “Our Westside Olympia location is greatly inspired by that cafe.”<\/p>\n

“I loved Cafe WA’s space which is now our friends at Bluebeard<\/a>. Shakabrah’s<\/a> original location was a great place to hang out with friends, couches, good music, open mics. I remember Duane Sorenson (we went to high school together and our mothers work together) who would found Stumptown<\/a> making me ice mochas. I met my wife in Buzz City, a coffeehouse on the corner of I and Division at a record release party for Katie’s Dimples<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Olympia Coffee Roasting’s new space, designed and built-out by The Artisans Group<\/a>, features a La Marzocco Strada AV<\/a> espresso machine, customized by Pantechnicon Designs<\/a>, FETCO<\/a> batch brew, and pour-over via the Poursteady<\/a> automated dripper.<\/p>\n

Roasting will be done on-site using a custom-made Diedrich IR-5 Kilo Roaster<\/a>. Customers have an opportunity to sit and watch the roasting take place on barstools with a view.\u00a0A blend created for the Tacoma cafe called “Little Buddy” is named after Stormshak\u2019s sister\u2019s 1986 Honda Civic which, according to their press release, cruised around Tacoma in the 90s.<\/p>\n

Hours are Monday to Friday 5am to 7pm, Saturday 6am to 7pm, and Sunday 7am to 6pm.\u00a0A grand opening celebration takes place Saturday, May 12th with artisanal goods neighbor Lapis<\/a>. Stormshak tells us to expect “snacks, music, libations, and free brewed coffee all day.”<\/p>\n

“I always dreamed of owning a coffee roastery, growing up. I always imagined it would be in Tacoma, in Proctor,” says Stormshak. “Even though this is our fifth location this is truly a lifelong dream for me.”<\/p>\n

Olympia Coffee Roasting Co is located at\u00a02601 N Proctor, Tacoma<\/a>. Visit their official website<\/a> and follow them on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, and Instagram<\/a>.<\/div>\n
