Updating my review of Cafe Hitchcock as the last time I was here I did not try the food. WHAT WAS I THINKING? Really impressed by what Cafe Hitchcock has built here. This place is awesome! The ambiance is cozy but still booming and the staff always handles it like pros. I had a PHENOMENAL espresso martini that was so damn smooth and exactly what my day needed! ;) The star of the show? THE KING CRAB EGGS BENEDICT Oh my GAWD. Where has this bit of heaven been all my life? The eggs perfectly poached little pillows, rich hollandaise, and huge pieces of king crab that make this dish a GAME CHANGER IMO. I'm eccentric I know but trust me. Try it. Safe to say my update was long overdue, as Cafe Hitchcock has officially earned its permanent spot for me when visiting Bainbridge! 5 stars! read more

Can't believe the rating here isn't higher. We loved everything we got. The burger and fried were perfect. The Tony soprano sandwich was yummy. Jones soda on tap is cool. It looks small from the outside but they have a bunch of tables. Cute place in downtown. No complaints whatsoever. read more

Customer service absolutely terrible and they charge 25% automatically so you get what you get.....which is no water, no napkins, a long wait, cold food, and your order wrong. Will never recommend or go again. read more

Cafe Hitchcock - Latte with maple brown sugar syrup - New American Near Me - Bainbridge Island, Washington

We were wondering why there was no line. Waited 10 minutes to be sat in the dining part, no one came over. Staff seem overwhelmed and not given the tools they need for good service. Our drinks were taken by the people that came after us and when the ladies realized it, they hurried and made us two undrinkable beverages. No apologies, seems like it may happen often. So many better options just a stones throw away. read more

They have a pretty good menu, I just felt that some things were lacking in consistency or flavor. The pastrami sandwich was a little dry and not hot all the way through. Chicken sandwich special had a good concept but the sauce was oily and overwhelming. You can sit outside which is nice and the staff were very friendly. If you're on the island, it's not a bad place to stop! read more

We stopped in yesterday for a late lunch and we're so glad we did! Tip: many businesses and eateries in Winslow are closed on Monday; not Cafe Hitchcock. Service was warm, friendly and quick. The food is unique even if the item has a non unique name. We ordered non unique Ham and Cheese Sandwich and Pastrami with an Irish coffee to take the chill from outdoors off. The sandwiches were amazing my pastrami was on real Jewish rye piled high with lean tasty pastrami just enough sauerkraut to add zing and not soak the rye bread. A pickle or two and some fancy fantastic sauce. I have never had better or even as good. Jeanie raved about her ham and cheese on focaccia. Both sandwiches come with delicious potato chips we assume made in-house. Ambience is noisy cafe with lots of locals chatting! What a perfect setting for a perfect cafe meal. read more

Omg. Don't ever order the grilled cheese sandwich. They have no grill. The bread had to be sent back because it wasn't toasted at all. I guess they have one of those roller ovens. 1 piece of cheese, not grilled bread...22.00 but it had 2 pieces of bacon. Rip off!. I did have the pastrami sandwich which was good but the homemade Rye bread was too thick for the sandwich. People got served that sat down after us. Just not a great experience. read more

Ordered the Cuban and the soup and salad as well as a latte. The Cuban was good but definitely different than your traditional Cuban bread. The soup was a Chile style soup. Good but had a lot of clove flavor. A little much for me The salad was a nice size for soup and salad and tasted great. The latte was really tasty. All in all, a good restaurant and the service was great. read more

Service was decent. They were definitely busy when we got there so some leeway can be given based on the crowd but towards the end of the meal the lunch rush was thinning and the service was still slower. The food was good. Arrive early if you want any chance at the specials because they sell out early. Overall the quality and taste were great and it's a fun spot to go for lunch and a drink in downtown Bainbridge with a fun environment. read more

Cute atmosphere and good food. I got the bacon and blue burger and my friend got the Tony soprano sandwich. Both were good portions and very flavorful! read more

We decided to end our night at a nearby bar-- just so happened that we happened upon Cafe Hitchcock on a drag night. STOKED seeing local queens, I've heard amazing things about how diverse the Seattle drag scene is. Also, the drinks here are fire~~~ We walked in on a Saturday evening and somehow found a table for our group of 4. Pretty lively + great music. Vibe is divey. Pleasantly surprised by the table service-- bartender took our order minutes after us settling in. WINSLOW'S WAY: Ok this is juice. Love it. I could drink this all day-- the most refreshing, minty, fruity cocktail ever. We got to catch Hannah Mia Joint St. James and Clara Voyance performing a few numbers. The girls killlllled it. Love to support queer-friendly biz. Will have to be back for their brunch and actual food sometime! read more

Took a little trip to Bainbridge Island with my daughter, and after a day of walking and shopping, and seeing the sights we found this little gem. Cozy, inviting, and the perfect spot to end the day. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious. I had the tomato soup and the smash burger OKC style (onions shmooshed onto patty). My daughter had the crispy chicken sandwich, Nashville style. All came out properly cooked, on time, and hot. It was delicious. The rest of the menu looked good. One drawback is the menu has no dessert. That said I recommend this spot to cap off a nice day on the island read more

BEST Cosmopolitans and Old Fashions in Kitsap County. DeLISHHH! Not to mention their smash burgers are bussin. Every bartender and server there is rad and knows wtf they're doing. I have so much fun going in with my coworkers and family. I recommend it to anyone who wants a tasty spot on the island that's actually worth the price. read more

I met a friend for lunch and it was not very busy. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which I've had before and was delicious. It looked great but when I cut it in half it was raw in the middle. It took a while for the server to come back. When I asked for it to be cooked more, he said, "well it is a chicken thigh". In my opinion, even a thigh should be fully cooked. He brought me a new sandwich and the chicken was burned. So, I guess their cooks are not skilled enough to cook a chicken thigh all the way through without burning it on the outside. read more

Service was crazy slow. They were not that busy either mid afternoon. We went with counter service and it took like 40 mins for a burger and fries. I asked for them to wipe off the table and even though she said she would, it wasn't done. We had clearly asked for our burger to be split and included ketchup, neither was done, although we were supplied with a knife and ketchup when we asked. Food was good, for $22 it ought to be. Plus they include a "non-gratuity service charge" of $1.50 on top. Plus asked for 18-22% tip before we got bad service and bussed our own dishes to the over flowing bin. We bring our boat over here and eat out often, can't say we'll go out of our way to come back there. read more

Food is good, worth the price. The atmosphere, however, is absolutely horrible with negative vibes and chaos everywhere, the drinks have no system so people jut go up and grab whatever they can, they don't call out names, they treat regulars like gods and you like a little piece of shit. Next time, I hope these workers gain a sense of self-awareness because in these 15 minutes my morning was effectively tainted. read more

Really good, fresh, healthy food option for breakfast. Service is welcoming and very friendly. So are their patrons. Can tell it's a spot for the regulars. Cozy bench seating up against the windows. I will be back! Oh, and their lattes are to die for. read more

Absolutely loved this cozy spot on Bainbridge Island! The tomato soup was rich and comforting, perfect for the partly cloudy day. The café salad was fresh and crisp with tomato soup, a great light option. In addition, we had the Chi-Town sandwich--house-roasted beef with melted provolone, giardiniera, and aioli. Our waitress was spot on, on explaining flavors and textures, and you could taste the quality in every bite. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! Not depicted - the Bloody Mary - pretty good! I give it a solid 8.5/10 (wasn't a fan of the pickled cauliflower, but overall the mix and presentation was great!) Pro tip: your waiter/waitress has the ability to take your coffee order for the cafe attached. read more

I love the music and the general ambience....but the service and the food are just not there. My $15 glass of wine was a very short pour. My smash burger was not hot when I was served, and the staff was more interested in their friends than serving us. I keep coming back and trying this spot but it just doesn't quite get there. Maybe I'll go back in another 6 months.....Uhg read more

Suuuper meaty burger and sandwich menu right now with just a sad sack, expensive grilled cheese for the vegetarians. The grilled cheese has a nice flavorful pesto, but a small amount of cheese that seems to only be present on the very outer edges, and no good crispy-ness at all. I know that Hitchcock can cook a great vegetable but they seem to have an incredibly strong meat focus at the expense of everything else. Even the biggest meat eaters might have family or friends that might want something veggie. It would be nice to have one sandwich option that isn't depressing. read more

Chicken noodle soup was bomb! Exactly what I needed that day when I just wanted something light but delicious. It was so flavorful-robust and peppery and it had plenty of chicken and noodles. The salad was a great complement to the soup. My companion had a breakfast sandwich which he enjoyed. While there was a long wait for tables because of the ferry, we were able to sit at the bar for quicker seating. Nathan was a great host-gave great service and recommendations. read more

The spot gets really busy, so make sure to allocate time for that. I went on a Monday but the Island constantly operates on a busy summer schedule, so it was still pretty crowded. I had gotten the garden bowl and because there were so many people, expect a bit of a wait for your food. My take on café Hitchcock is that everything is very solidly executed but not mind blowing. My garden bowl was fresh and very filling. Everything was pretty balanced with the pickles, and then the grains and the fresh vegetables. I actually ended up having to offer some of the food to my friend because I just couldn't finish it all but everything felt very healthy and nutritious. The ambiance really leans into the whole island café vibe and I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a simple things done well. read more

Seeing the low star reviews made no sense with my experience. Ordered the pb&j smoothie and it was brought out very quickly. Gentleman next to me did say it took between 15-20 mins to get his food but in my point of view that's a very standard wait time. Ambiance is very relaxing with soft rock and roll music, staff is polite and kind. My friends and I find everything here reasonably priced. Great place to relax while waiting for the main food at Ba Sa read more

This was my fiance and I's first time to this quaint cafe and our first time to Bainbridge island! We were celebrating my birthday and we had a blast sitting at the bar chatting with the bartender named Lea. She was so welcoming and the food and drinks were light, fresh, and the exact pick-me-up we needed after walking all over the island. If we find ourselves back on Bainbridge we will definitely come back. read more

Came here for drinks while waiting for the ferry and got a great outdoor table on a slow weeknight evening. Our server was quite possibly very new - was unable to answer questions about drinks, left us alone for long periods of time while we were waiting for answers and waiting to order, etc. I was a curious customer and was hoping they might be able to modify something off the cocktail menu for me, or make something custom, given that the menu was creative and interesting, but it ended up being a strictly by the menu kind of place - like, very strict - and I didn't love the menu options though my dining partner found something right away. And so we waited for quite some time. Ultimately we ended up chatting with the bartender, who made some great recommendations. He was awesome and our drinks were excellent with great flavor; they do all their own infusions and it shows. Highly recommend the cocktails if something on the menu appeals to you. read more

I'm a fan of the Hitchcock group and have been to the Seattle Café Hitchcock location, so it was nice to see there was one on Bainbridge Island when I visited. However, I am disappointed that the burger is no longer available, as I read that it was one of the best in the Seattle area from a local blogger. But, that's okay. At least there were other goodies. Plus, I wasn't looking for a meal since I visited right after lunch and just wanted a drink to pick-me-up. I had planned on ordering a coffee until I saw that they served on tap the Junbug Honeybrew Kombucha. I had to give that a try. Just note that on a Saturday afternoon, the place was busy. Most indoor tables were taken; however, there is outdoor seating. The strawberry kombucha was solid. I'm a fan of kombucha, and liked that Junbug Honeybrew is locally made and is a concoction of Brendan McGill's, so would not disappoint. Which it did not. For anyone who likes kombucha, it's worth trying. Or heck, if you haven't been to a Cafe Hitchcock, visit for delicious sandwiches, salads and small plates that are made fresh. I dig it. read more

We had breakfast here after arriving in the ferry. Since the restaurant wasn't yet open, we ordered tea and a croissant to enjoy while waiting. I think this made it hard to get the waiters' attention when it came time to actually get breakfast as they may have thought we were just there for tea. Once we got menus and ordered, I had a delicious shakshuka. He had a breakfast sandwich with fruit, which he liked but didn't think it was the best he had. read more

Cafe Hitchcock was chosen for its brunch menu and good drinks. The atmosphere is lively and fun. You feel welcome here in Bainbridge. The bar tenders and servers are friendly and entertaining. They make some awesome drinks at the bar. It's not cheap but it is high quality. They also have bottomless mimosas for $20. The food menu is small but quality. The breakfast sandwich for $13 includes thick bacon and a large egg, and the other menu items my friends ordered were pleasantly surprised with the taste. Everything is fresh for sure. I will definitely return for food and beverages. They even knew it was my birthday somehow. read more

This is an amazing lunch option if you're spending the day on Bainbridge. We forgot to make lunch reservations on a Saturday, so we were not too hopeful about being seated anywhere. However, we just happened to pass Cafe Hitchcock, and they were able to seat our party of 6 within ten minutes! The brunch/lunch menu was typical of a cafe - soups, sandwiches, and egg dishes. I chose to go with the soup of the day, butternut squash. I was pleasantly surprised that the bread served alongside had melted cheese on it. If you do order a gluten free sandwich as a few at our table did, be aware that the presentation will be somewhat lackluster - the flat, uncut sandwich pictured was an extra $4! read more

I would love to review the food, but we were lucky to get water. Even that took over ten minutes. Tried to get our server's attention, but they avoid eye contact at all costs in this place. One of my party finally got up and tapped them on the shoulder; they said be there in a minute. Fifteen minutes later we left. We weren't the only ones to have issues. Witnessed the manager trying to "make it right" with the table next to us. They never got served either. Table on the other side said it took 45 minutes to get their food. Never coming back. read more

I had my birthday brunch here and couldn't have asked for a better experience! We took the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island - something I hadn't done before in past Seattle trips. This place was offering breakfast all day and some lunch options, and they had good vegetarian options (some things could be made vegan if you asked). We ordered some drinks - mimosa for me and a whiskey drink for my husband. I ordered their vegetarian tartine and added an egg on it and my husband got some kind of scramble/eggs. We both got a cup of soup. Everything was delicious and the tartine was like a plate of art. I also ordered a glass of champagne for my birthday which they comped so that was really sweet of them! The space is open and airy and the staff was attentive and friendly. If you find yourself on BI make a stop into Cafe Hitchcock! read more
