Capital Perks Espresso - Tumwater, Washington

Barista was very friendly and kind. Coffee is good.

Issue — menu and barista provided unclear pricing expectations.

Menu lists 16 oz drinks for X price. Asked barista if 16 oz drink comes with 2 shots. Barista said 2 shots.

Got bill and it was around $1.50-$2.00 more than I expected.

Charged for extra shot.

Also charged for card use (under $10).

That’s fine, but it would be nice to have that clarity from the beginning. Here’s a suggestion to how the conversation could go:

Customer: “hi, does the 16 oz mocha come with 2 shots?”

Barista: “it comes with 1 shot, but I can add another shot for X (price)”

Customer: “okay, I’ll stick with 1 shot, thank you”

Barista: “that’ll be X total, cash or card?”

Customer: “card, please”

Barista: “great. Do note that for totals under $10 we charge a 40 cent processing fee”

Customer: “cool, thanks for the info!”

Again, coffee was good. And this extra information might even be on the menu (unsure, hard to see when it’s on a sign that’s behind where someone pulls up). This is a brief suggestion for how the whole customer experience is. And those little tidbits of info are super helpful, at least speaking for my experience.

We got two delicious lotus drinks. I got a sour gummy one. Very yummy. This place is cheaper than the one we normally go to, better service, and they have punch cards. Whenever we have a craving well definitely be coming back here!

I've been going here for ages and realized I never left a review. CP is the best place to go for drinks & friendly faces. They have trivia, coffee cards/coins, local baked goods, and a small outside area to sit if you're jogging by and want a break. They're also dog friendly and offer treats.

I love this coffee stand they are always so quick to get me my coffee and food. The owner works there a lot and most all the employees are so fun to talk to but don’t hold you there a long time. The burritos are delicious (courtesy of burrito bros) and their bagels are pretty good as well. The only downside to the bagels is sometimes they are still cold in the middle. I bet they would reheat it for you if you asked though!

First time here! I went to get a gift card for my local optometrist at Eye Love Olympia and for a delicious White chocolate - raspberry mocha. Let me tell you that this Mocha is D E L I C I O U S ! ! I highly recommend everyone to try it as I’ve been drinking this particular drink since being 7 years old! They knocked this drink out of the park and I’ll definitely be back for me since I’m local 🙂
