Exquisite fair trade store and restaurant. We went tonight to join my Mom at Tellabration.

Great stories were shared while the food and drinks flowed. Met lots of friends and heard some really great stories. A grand time in Olympia!

Great food, 98% of it is pretty darn healthy, too! The cafe is very nice, great background music, and friendly, laid back (but hard-working) staff. The store must be seen to be believed, with wonderful imported items from exotic places. Many of them hard to resist! Probably the best place in Oly...

The baristas that I delt with today were rude. I ordered an iced drink and the staff that was making it forgot my whipped cream which wasn't a problem, until she came back. Instead of giving me a dome lid she squished the whipped cream on top which made the cup to full causing leakage from the sides...

A very welcoming cafe and shop. Well priced healthy food, get a beautifully made drink from some of the fabulous staff. A great place to sit and watch the magic that is Olympia. Slip into the shop next door for fair-trade and beautifully made goods.

This place has such a wonderful atmosphere. The food is really nourishing. The small gift store is full of many beautiful hand made, fair trade products. Its worth visiting if you haven't. Also, the owner is one of the sweetest persons in Olympia, WA.

Great local place. Very casual - bus your own table, hang out. Many local performances and meetings are held here. The fair trade store has something for everyone, and has improved since my last visit - fun to walk through, a little like a gallery, and better lighting. The cafe doesn't have enough f...

The food is very good and reasonably priced and there is always several plant-based somethings to eat there. Friendly folks. The owner is a hero for all he has done for artists, musicians, writers and activists. Check out the music calendar!

Mediocre food. The front counters are unkempt. I witnessed an employee use the steam wand of the espresso machine to sanitize serving utensils. This did not instill confidence in me regarding the rest of their food handling practices. The employees exude the insecure, self-righteous Olympia disposit...

It's just THE place to go. :-) My sister's and I meet there for great eats and vibe. It's a local treasure. We shop there for our Holiday gifts, great fair trade selections! We have large family gatherings, as well as quick bite with the little ones. There's an area for little ones to play with toys...

Part cafe, part fair-trade shoppe, Traditions to me feels like the waystation for this time and place. No other business in Olympia gathers the community together in the same way. The food is good, nutritous, and locally sourced from small farms and businesses, and affordable with both coffee (Olymp...

Traditions commitment to Fair Trade artisans and industry around the globe is awe inspiring. As a music venue, you couldn't ask for a more comfortable atmosphere. As a restaurant, it is a regular "go to" for my me and my family, but go with an appetite.

If you're visiting Olympia, please visit Tr...

An Olympia institution. Simple, hand-made meals with a little something extra to transcend expectations or predictability. Wholesome and inspiring. Great ingredients and service. Community art and music events and feature performances make this a low-key but vital "community center."
