Nonna Rosa Cafe
116 5th Ave Se
Olympia, WA
(360) 705-0850/(360)480-2197

Love this place. Took my 2 1/2 yr old daughter to this tea cafe. Cute cafe that is in the center of this mini shopping complex in downtown Olympia. There is a large tree planted in the center of this cafe and the tables surround the tree. It's a tea cafe and mini gift shop.

She has 2 different tea meals to order, "Afternoon Tea" and "High Tea". I ordered the "High Tea" and boy did we get alot of food. Started with a cup of soup of the day, then a plate of bread with olive and vinegar dip, then a plate of mini cucumber and cream cheese triangle sandwiches and mini butter crackers with an eggsalad spread. My daughter actually like that one >_< I was surprised. To top that off we then had hot panini sandwiches, and then our final dessert was english scones with clotted cream. All this food while endless refills of english tea in really nice antique tea pots. The over all meal was only $9.50 and there was enough food for 2 people. I was quite full after that meal and so was my daughter. Had to take the left overs home to my family.


Tea Lady
430 Washington Street SE
Olympia, WA
360-786-0350

Local Tea shop filled with a variety of teas and tea related items (tea sets, strainers, etc.). She has a tea sampling area but wasn't very impressed with it. They only have about 3 samples and you have to flag people down in order to try a new one. They have nice collection of shortbread and imported tea snacks there as well.


Radiance
113 5th Avenue
Olympia, Washington 98501

They're mainly an herbal store but they have quite a wall as well of selected teas for medicinal purposes.
