    My partner and I went to Orcas Island for a much-needed weekend. Despite living in Seattle for…read moreyears, we had yet to explore the San Juan Islands. Good friends recommended Doe Bay Cafe to us. We ordered take out (beet fritters, a yummy salad, scallops, and dessert). We both LOVE to cook and eat out often. We were VERY impressed at the quality of food that we received! We savored every single bite. Needless to say, we will be heading back to Orcas AND to the Doe Bay Cafe sometime in the near future! We can't WAIT! We normally take photos of food that impresses us. We were too busy, reveling in the tastes, textures, and gloriousness of the dinner to remember to take photos. Until it was too late. Next time!

    Beautiful location and space but we didn't have the best meal. Service was weirdly disorganized…read more(there's only 10 tables with 3 front of house staff and a manager, so it was not lack of staff.) There seemed to be confusion on basic things and we saw our meal sit out for a good while before anyone brought it over. The bartender was trying hard and did recommend a terrific wine. Our meal overall was just ok and for the prices and high end focused menu (all $40-$50 entrees- no sandwiches and few apps to share), it felt like they should decide to either step up to run a high price restaurant or make this place more casual and better priced. Our dinner here fell flat and we will likely go into Eastsound for dinner next time.

    This place broke me. Literally ruined me on cinnamon rolls anywhere else. You may be able to eat…read moreone and not feel the same, but my outlook on the cinnamon rolls I've been eating up until now in my life is extremely dim. I've never had one so amazingly light, soft and perfectly just-sweet-enough. Wonder if they will ship them...? We stopped by Leaven for breakfast one morning on our trip getting a savory crêpe each and a couple pastries. Didn't even make it though breakfast before we knew we had to do a repeat the very next day because it was so good. Crepes are French style and are clearly made with skill and talent. The space is bright and cheery with very friendly staff. I see other reviews mentioning waits during busy times or complaints but experienced nothing of the sort. We were a bit off peak and didn't have that issue but I can honestly say I'd be HAPPY to wait for the food at Leaven. This is really something special and whoever is behind it has a gift.

    Lox crepe had a good ratio of lox to cream cheese and arugula/picked onions. The quiche (tomato and…read morepesto) was ever so slightly overcooked to my preference. Service was 5/5 very friendly. Bus your own table type of place. Drip coffee was standard. Does get a long line that fluctuates with ferry arrival times. We had about 5 people ahead of us and waited about 10 minutes to order. Brioche looked good and seemed to be popular; not really a brioche person so didn't get it.

    We had a fabulous experience here. The atmosphere is so welcoming. Everyone is so nice. We loved…read moresitting outside. We brought our dogs and they loved it too! The pulled pork and baked beans were standouts. I would skip the Cole slaw, it lacked flavor for me. The Mac and cheese was just ok. My partner loved the halibut fish and chips and said the oysters were the freshest he's ever had. We cannot wait to go back!

    A colleague I met shared she lives in the San Juan Islands. When I told her I was visiting, she…read morerecommended we eat at Buck's Bay Shellfish Farm. We're happy we dined here while we staying on Orcas Island! This is truly a watering hole. The restaurant gets busy with hungry visiting and local diners. They're family friendly and dog friendly! There's a couple spots on their property--one being their fish market and deli the other being the place to order food! Seating is first come first serve at their communal tables and all outdoors. The workers work hard and do their best juggling lots of hungry customers. Everyone who helped us was kind and sweet! They have a variety of foods to please all tastebuds. Along with seafood they have BBQ, kid friendly options, and specials. For dinner I had the Spicy Halibut Sandwich but grilled instead of fried. The fish was delicious and everything was fresh and filling. My family enjoyed their chowder and oysters. We also shared a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie which was a slice of heaven--sweet, tangy, and divine! I can see why this is a popular place! If you find yourself on Orcas Island, Buck Bay Shellfish Farm is a must visit! Great seafood and a great ambiance. They have their own gravel lot you can park at and it's easy to find off EJ Young Road since it's a popular spot!
