Coffeehouses

Get your buzz on at any number of Olympia’s [1] coffeehouses, which often attract the younger Evergreen State College set.

Batdorf and Bronson Roaster (513 Capitol Way S, 360/786-6717, www.batdorf.com [2]) next to the Farmers Market, sells freshly roasted-on-the-premises coffee beans. Watch the roasting through the windows.

Get fresh bagels and espresso from Otto’s (111 Washington NE, 360/352-8640) located just a few doors down from Caffé Vita Coffee Roasting Co. (124 4th Ave. E, 360/754-8187, www.caffevita.com [3]), a place to meet the hip Olympia [1] set over a tempting dessert.
