The Filling Station Espresso, which still embodies the charm of an old-time gas station, has new owners and will continue keeping Olympia caffeinated.
The owners of Ember Goods are taking over the venture at 728 4th Ave., renaming the former space to Ember Goods at the Filling Station, according to The Olympian.
Ember Goods, founded by couples Logan and Bonita Smith and Nick and Jessica Terrel, is a Pacific Northwest–inspired shop featuring clothing, art and coffee. The space showcases local artists and offers nature-inspired goods, outdoor gear and gifts for adventurers.
With all four owners having a passion for the outdoors and having grown up spending time outside, they “wanted to create a space that was warm, a space that felt like coming home. A chance for those to reminisce on past experiences or make memories of their own,” the website reads.
The new outpost will continue to focus on coffee but will offer an expanded menu beyond the pastries and baked goods available at the flagship Downtown Olympia location. Plans may also include grab-and-go options and breakfast burritos.
Ember Goods is known for its carefully roasted coffee and espresso program, featuring both signature and seasonal offerings. Highlights include the “Golden Mylk,” made with hemp milk, turmeric, ginger, honey, cinnamon, clove and black pepper; the “Bullet,” with espresso, MCT oil, ghee butter, brown sugar and cinnamon; and the “Red Latte,” a 100% rooibos tea prepared espresso style with housemade vanilla and milk.
The outlet reported renovations are still underway, and no official opening date has been announced. Visit the Ember Goods website and follow along on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
