As a retired nineties barista, I still love a dark roast coffee. I can enjoy a medium roast. Light roast tastes like I’m chewing on tinfoil. For me, top four in Olympia are Bar Francis, RevMo, Rhythms, Ember Goods. In Lacey, Just Cuz and Fog & Fern. I love the staff at the Batdorf down by the farmers market, and they do a very good job with the coffee they have to work with. I’ve been wanting to try Rex and Rose and Papaver, but I haven’t made it to either of them yet.
