We ordered a few lattes made with their in-house syrups, and every single one of them was incredible. We loved them so much we went back for them again and again over the weekend we were there. We also tried their chorizo burrito and donuts, which were both outstanding. I honestly want to go back to the island just to eat here again! The ambiance of the place is awesome. It is super kid-friendly outside, featuring a wonderful yard with plenty of toys and things to do, which makes it incredibly relaxing for families. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visits. I highly, highly recommend checking out Medio Cafe if you are anywhere near the San Juan Islands. It was so good, and it's an absolute must-visit spot that we will definitely keep coming back to!

Their Salish Sea Fog (London Fog) was my favorite, it was fragrant and perfectly sweet. I even got the same tea bag and tried to make it at home. My partner is a mocha lover, and he said their mocha was good.

I got the Third Eye Coffee and it has 7 mushrooms and it was quite earthy. The honey lavender had really delicious sweet lavender floral taste. The coffee was great but we came across a not great experience with a lady/customer in line. She told us to wait outside since the owner doesn't like when the coffee shop is packed as it made him nervous. We acknowledged what she said. The tone was rude and stated, "well, aren't you going to go?" But we were holding the door for her to go out first since we have manners. If what she said was true, I think it would be better if the owner had a sign of some sort so folks aren't scolded but this lady. I tried to tell myself she doesn't represent the coffee shop but it did make me just want to leave to another shop. When we walked by the coffee shop throughout the day since we walked around town, there were definitely multiple people waiting inside like we did. Sooo...

Everything was fresh and delicious. The smoothie bowl was especially good, packed with berries and a nice crunch from the granola. It is a little on the pricier side, but that's kind of expected given the location right by the pier. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a good coffee and something healthy to eat while taking in the view.

Luckily, the Roche Harbor store is a handy dandy little spot that carries an impressive selection of everything from canned food to veggies to alcohol. Are the prices the same as you might find at a mainland supercenter? Heck no. But, if you're in need of provisions, this is one of the few easily accessible (by boat) spots in the islands to stock up and be on your merry way. The cashiers here are also incredibly helpful and friendly - eager to answer any questions or even laugh at your lame island jokes!

The mainland it's a doggy dog world to survive. Here it's just relaxing, open at 9 ish, two hour siestas and close at 5. We just dealt with a 17 hour commute from east coast to the west coast, slept barely, was up and out the door at 6 am to catch our ferry to Friday Harbor, only for it to be canceled and delayed until 740 pm. At this point I just wanted coffee. Nobody was opened except these people. I had a mocha latte and a blueberry scone which was the BEST scone that I've ever tasted before. Better than Starbucks warmed up. Thanks to this place for doing it right.
