I have only ever been there once and I had the same thought

Oh good, I’ve been wondering when they would finish.

For us coffee nerds, this is a huge welcome to the neighborhood. Empire is solid, but I'll be getting my beans from here from now on!
I was just trying to get coffee in Columbia City Saturday. Two days too soon! Empire coffee is a solid choice but we were just looking for a different place so it’s nice to know there are more food options now.
Exactly. I'll gladly drink Empire if I'm nearby, but Olympia Coffee is actually a destination for me. I've had a subscription with them off and on for a while.
I'm so happy about this.
Have you tried Onda yet? Corner of Rainier and Findlay.
Stumbled across them waiting on some car repairs a couple of months back, delicious.
Back when it was just the pop up in the garage?
Oops, I'm dumb - got the cross streets confused and was actually at Empire. Which appears to show that both my taste and sense of direction are utterly rotten..
I don't think so. When did that become Onda? Wasn't that a different coffee roaster before? I'll have to pay it a visit!
It used to be Tin Umbrella until last summer then it closed for a remodel and only reopened last month with new owners. The coffee is better than before the sale. I'm a huge fan of their beans from Burundi.
