Shiplap is an amazing small café to stop before going to work or school. Have amazing people working here that will help you. Amazing vintage stuff to buy, amazing coffee and outstanding twister donuts.

I love the coffee options, especially the availability of keto options...lots of flavors, sugar-free and regular! The atmosphere is so comfortable, friendly and helpful. 💜 The coolest place to shop while drinking coffee. I walked a 1/2 mile in snow & ice to have coffee here, that says it all! 😆

Really good coffee but male boss seems kind of rude towards his employees in front of customers. Cute shop but super small and hard to walk through. Places to sit outside but no trash cans outside so seems pointless. They do offer to order your drink online/over the phone and then bring it out to your car so that's the best option for me

Loved this eclectic little shop. Coffee & rhubarb fritter, yum. Great atmosphere. They do charge extra to use a credit card.

I absolutely love this place, although, I am a vendor that will not return, unfortunately. I have never received payment for my product and my product is not there any longer. Where has it gone? Nobody knows. Lost about $300.

The staff here are super friendly and nice. The store smells incredible and their goods and decorations are so cool. I could spend hours and hours here and probably spend way too much money! Super cute farmhouse stuff along with locally produced items like apple cider vinegar and raw honey. Their Café has coffee drinks, teas, pastries, donuts, cookies, fritters, etc and they are all locally produced by small business owners too and SO delicious.

Bad coffee, worse people. Have gone here several times and have not had a good experience, and nothing changes. I don't understand how coffee can consistently be burnt, it's like the staff has no idea how to make coffee

We were visiting Yelm and stopped this coffee house. Cute interior with lots of interesting items to look at and purchase. They also have a coffee stand and baked goods section. The donuts are awesome. I had a piece of cake which was okay. Unfortunately, our iced espresso drinks tasted pretty burnt. It could have been a off day though but it’s probably not a place I would return to.

I was so excited yesterday to finally visit this coffee shop. But after my first visit I won’t return their prices in the gift store are ridiculous! Things I’ve purchased at Tractor Supply were double the price. People were looking but I didn’t see them buying. Sad to see this due to the pandemic we are in.

Just in town visiting family and we stopped by for donuts today. We came in the late afternoon so there weren't many donut options, however, they still had apple and peach fritters, which are my favorite, so no harm no foul. Haha! The fritters were really good with perfect mixture of crispy outside and soft inside. The store itself is super cute with a farmhouse theme, which is right up my alley. I basically wanted to buy it all, but with only a carry on bag for the flight home, that wouldn't be possible.

My wife and sister-in-law stopped in this afternoon to pick up some donuts after a long day of cleaning/organizing.

Donuts were the perfect pick-me-up for a dreary day and the peach fritter was great! Wish there were a few more peach chunks throughout, but what few there were were great!

Next time we're in town visiting I think we will make another stop!

This place is the cutest place around! Their coffee is amazing and their staff is so sweet! I really enjoyed my first visit so a few days later I stopped in for a coffee. The sweet girl working there remembered my coffee order! I'm super impressed! The shop sells cute little items for your home. It would be a great place to pick up a gift

This place has a cute collection of things . They had soaps, lotions, sprays, paint, cards, decor, and all kinds of other stuff. It was a lot of fun walking through and looking at all the different items there was a good selection of beautiful handmade items. I ended up purchasing a crotchet wash cloth that was beautifully packaged. The prices were kinda high but they were worth it. A lot of items do not have the prices clearly marked on the tags. I ordered a lotus energy drink. Id never had one of these the barista was friendly and gave me helpful suggestions to make my drink. Drink came out AWESOME

Below is a blueberry muffin, Apple Danish, Raspberry danish, and cinammon roll.
Review: We ordered these 4 baked goodies and some hot cocoa. The hot cocoa tasted like hot cocoa to me but it was bad so thats a plus. The apple danish absolutely AMAZING!!! The raspberry one isn't as great but its good. The cinammon roll was good. The blueberry muffin wasn't that good for me so i wouldn't recommend it if you like the ones from sams club or the ones for McDonald's. Can't wait to go back and try some donuts!

What an amazing addition to the Community. I appreciate they donated a percentage of profits to Anti human tafficking organization of Operation Underground Railroad on one of their Friday online sales. The store is full of amazing gifts, clothing, and home decor. Coffee stand drink selection galore. As a non coffee drinker I enjoy their amazing tea selection. Pastries, fritters, and donuts galor. My favorite is the gluten free key lime tart! The addition of picnic tables outside is wonderful. My suggestion is us to add a gas firepit out back and have some evening hours. Add to menu a hot chocolate

This review is based on COVID-19.

First off, I'd like to say that their pumpkin chai is amazing. I actually went back a second time just to get it. They also sell Twister's Donuts inside too! Yum.

But... of course everyone knows you should be wearing face coverings during this "pandemic". I assume you should know to wear one especially when you're serving food and drinks to customers, but a couple of the workers did not and were also not wearing gloves or sanitizing. I'm not a crazy "Karen" that would freak out about people not wearing masks, but I thought

Such a cute little coffee shop! I wish their coffee (dairy free, mind you) tasted better, and it was more handicap friendly.

You wouldn't believe how small the aisles are and how crowded it gets! You can't get a wheelchair or even a stroller comfortably in here.

I bought some cute cards and earrings though! They were reasonably priced.

BUT the iPad gave me an option right tip the barista a percentage, so I did. Not realizing it would tip a percentage of my entire order total.
I think I ended up tipping $12 for a $5 coffee.

Very cute new addition to downtown Yelm. The lattes are great and the pastries are very good! The store side is quaint and cozy. Definitely come check it out.
