The Olympia Farmer’s market location was built in the style of the walk-up cafes of Italy, making it perfect for those who work in the area or stop in before perusing the Farmer’s Market. Legend says that in the 9th century, in the isolated highlands of Ethiopia, Kaldi the goatherder discovered coffee. With his curiosity peaked, he tasted the fruit, and the wow of coffee was discovered. Dancing Go
ats® was founded in 1988, before the coffeehouse boom of the Pacific Northwest. Our goal of bringing the best coffee to our customers led us to expand from a single coffee bar to a wholesale coffee roaster with multiple coffee bars. Through the years, our business has increased, but our mission to offer the best tasting coffee hasn't changed. Now whether through online shopping or at coffee shops all over the world, customers enjoy fresh and wonderful tasting Dancing Goats®. We offer a large variety of espresso and non-espresso drinks. Our customer's favorites are lattes, drip coffee, and mochas. Some of our adventurous customers swear by our Rootdowns. The iced beverage is a hit in the warmer months. We also offer a plethora of fresh-made pastries, including quiche, cookies, pumpkin bread, and other assortments of yummy snacks, all made locally in the Pacific Northwest. Although we do have indoor and outdoor seating areas that can be used for small business meetings or meetups with friends, our Olympia Farmer's market location was built in the style of the walk-up cafes of Italy. This can serve a more grab-and-go clientele. It is perfect for our many customers who work in the area and come by before work or during their lunch breaks. Shoppers perusing the Farmer's Market can enjoy our delicious drinks as they look through the other booths. Many of our customers take their orders to the waterfront only two blocks away--a lovely piece of nature to enjoy a cup of Dancing Goats® and our tasty treats. Doing more is at the heart of how our company functions. We build lasting relationships with our coffee farmers, providing them and their region with stability by financially supporting them. Doing more means weighing out choices in light of the cost to the environment and choosing to be a sustainable and environmentally conscious company. It means building relationships within our community by investing within that community. It means requiring our baristas only make drinks after they have spent months learning the necessary skills and coffee knowledge. This means that our customers always get a fresh cup of delicious Dancing Goats® every time. Stop by our corner coffee bar. Try our delicious coffee.
