Have a coffee question? Stop by and ask. We have everything you need to be a home brewing expert! Legend says that in the remote highlands in the 9th century, a lone Ethiopian goatherder discovered coffee. He noticed his goats dancing after eating a small red fruit from a nearby shrub. Curious, he tried that fruit, and at that moment, coffee was discovered. Dancing Goats® was founded in 1988 befor
e the coffeehouse boom of the Pacific Northwest by Larry and Cherie Challain. Their goal was to bring the best coffee to their customers. Soon after, Dancing Goats® expanded from just a single coffee bar in Olympia, WA, to a wholesale roaster and coffeehouse when it bought Batdorf and Bronson® Coffee Roasters. Coffee shops all over the world serve Dancing Goats® to their customers. And now customers unable to make it to those wonderful shops can order our delicious coffee products through our online store. Our Batdorf & Bronson® Olympia Tasting Room was the first of its kind. Tucked within our Olympia Roastery it's close to the Olympia Port and Farmer's market. Our customers can stop in and try a sample of a few freshly brewed coffees or request any of our currently roasted coffee in their cups. Like a winery offering wine options, our Tasting Room can brew any of our current tasty coffee offerings. This allows our customers to experience coffee in a unique way. We also have mugs, beans, filters, brewers, and any other coffee equipment you need to brew your perfect cup at home. On the rare sunny days, our customers can sit out by our pond or take photos with our famous Dancing Goats® statue. The Olympia Tasting room was built and designed to offer our customers an intimate look behind the scenes of our roastery while also letting them sample our delicious freshly brewed coffee. It's one more way we cultivate a meaningful relationship with our customers and earn their loyalty. We are happy to share our coffee brewing expert tips and tricks.
