Menu for the evening
Gail O.

My husband & I spent 4 nights on Orcas Island. The meal at Doe Bay Cafe was not only delicious, it's one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The setting is gorgeous and the staff was kind & helpful. Thx for a special evening

Doe Bay Cafe is a remarkable place to dine in Olga, WA on Orcas Island. The energy at this place is very inviting, the outdoor atmosphere is beautiful and the people this place brings is a great vibe. The service and staff make this place a comfortable dine in and the food is fresh tasting. I definitely recommend eating here if you're on the island.

Burrata w berries

Service and ambience were excellent. We went for dinner. Bread so very airy, best dish was burrata w berries. Zucchini Tatin didn't have much flavor. Clams in white wine was tasty.

Breakfast sandwich with house-made sausage and the best chili aioli you'll ever have.

I've been coming to this cafe for 8 years and I always leave with complete satisfaction as well as the experience of trying something new. They craft their menu based on seasonal availability of local goods and it really comes through on the plate and palate. Don't sleep on the breakfast sandwich, trust me.

Beautiful view. Tip: go before 7 especially on a Sunday as they sell out of a lot of items quickly And change their menu weekly. Great service, everything was flavorful. The menu was all fresh and local and were good but needed just a few small changes to be a five star rating for me. Plating was also beautiful. -Mushroom toast was a little too toasted. Bordering on Cajun style. -shrimp romesco sauce was so delish we skipped the infused oil and put our bread in this. But the shrimp were a bit small. Could have been larger and juicer. -halibut was beautiful fresh and flaky but turmeric was a weird spice for the fish. Kind of overpowered and make it a strange color. Great corn side. -Limited wine by the glass list. My dining parter doesn't drink so no point in a bottle. Pie was perfect texture. So easy to have inside be too gelatinous or too loose this was perfect. The crust could have been flakier but was flavorful. If you're not already, the secret is using ice cold vodka and not water to your crust + only butter, no shortening. It'll make it 10/10. Would return!

Very small menu but everything is fresh and delicious with a view to die for! Will definitely be back. If only the cinnamon rolls were available on more than just Sunday

Best meal we had on the island. Fresh ingredients that didn't leave an unpleasant after taste or side effect. Beautiful scenery and friendly service. Worth the drive out to Doe Bay.

It is off the beaten path and may be pricey but I say yes! A wonderful brunch menu late into the afternoon. Fresh ingredients and wonderfully fresh and fragrant herbs. Biscuits and gravy was my choice and very rewarding. In the Doe Bay Resort. The cafe is at the bottom of road in the back. You can sit at the edge and overlook the bay. Worth the trip out to Doe Bay

True farm to table ingredients, one of the nicest places on Orcas besides Hogstone. Had live music on a Monday which was a nice touch.

Accidentally checked into the wrong one as I did not realize they have more than one location. Went…read morein here for a "fancy" coffee as the place we were eating for brunch only had drip coffee (the horror!). This is a cute place, with ample seating, dining room style, as well as a walk up counter if you just want to grab and go. They have a bit of merch and a sunny environment. Service was cheerful and efficient.

I ordered a mornin' sunshine sandwich using sausage and a croissant. The texture of the freshly…read morebaked croissant was phenomenal. The slight bit of crisp was peak, and the flavor of the sausage was also quite good. Additionally, the egg was soft and fluffy while the cheese inside the egg was noticeably stretchy. I believe this is the second Calico Cupboard I've been to. This chain seems to place plenty of effort into setting the right vibe with its building, decorations, everything. With that in mind, I think the La Conner one probably does this better with its almost fairy tale-esque location right on the river. Aside from that, uuuuhhh, this is awkward. I came here with my mom, and she left a one star review. I believe this is the first time this has happened as I review almost every restaurant I enter, but her account is essentially inactive, appearing only to cast shame on something unpleasant. If she saw this review, she would probably be angry. But I doubt she'll ever read this (hopefully). If she does...maybe it's worth it to write a high quality review. Lmao. Eating at a restaurant with her does give me a small opportunity as I think of myself as a low maintenance customer. Conversely, she has specific requests, and I get to observe how much each restaurant is willing to accommodate. Recently, she will always order a veggie egg white omelette. She will order this whether it's on your menu or not. It needs to be egg whites, and it needs to be an omelette, not a scramble. She will basically never want breakfast meats and will probably ask for something like shrimp. Oh, and swiss cheese or mixed cheeses. And if there's bread, it has to be English muffin. Absolutely no potato stuff. Calico Cupboard, to their credit, was able to meet all of these needs except that they don't have shrimp lol. Oh, and I guess the English muffin was an extra charge. She liked the broccoli. Anyways, service was slightly delayed, which left my coffee cup temporarily empty. I guess that's objectively a hit on service. Also, she didn't like the look and texture of her English muffin. I didn't try it so I can't judge that aspect, but I guess the cut did look rather "flat" to me for some reason. So these were the, uuuuhh, "impetus," for her to find something else, and she found it on a grape. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of this before the waitress took it to the kitchen, but it was some small....white.....thing. In my personal opinion, I could not tell what it was at all, and it could've been some small disfigured piece of egg or cheese, but she was adamant that it was a "bug." And basically demanded to know why the kitchen didn't clean their fruits. The waitress agreed (or at least pretended to agree) that it looked off and went to the kitchen with it. However, the back of the house was not so easily intimidated and maintained that they did clean their fruits and there was nothing wrong with it. As a result, even though the waitress apologized, we did not get a discount for the "bug," which obviously put her in a bad mood. I did at least take a picture of my own fruits, with the grapes towards the front. But naturally, I was unable to capture the same, errr, contaminant.

WOW! The verde pork was some of the best food I've had in a long while. We arrived shortly after…read moreopening and waited in line for about an hour. Ordering at the counter was easy, and we chose a seat outside on the deck. I think they were a little short staffed, so I'm not sure if that is a normal wait time. But, 100% worth it! The flavor combinations were perfect, and my friend loved her food as well. I wish they were open more often! I can't wait to bring my partner here.

The food and atmosphere here is great. You can tell they use great quality ingredients. The food we…read morehad was delicious and don't skip out on their baked goods. There is a lot of outdoor seating in a yard/garden which is perfect for families and pets in the summer. They bring out your entrees, but everything else is self bussed. You prepay for everything including tip when you order. They only accept cash, check, or Venmo. I came here with a group of 4 and ordered 4 entrees along with some baked foods and coffee. THE WAIT..... It took over 1 hour for us to get our food. I would take off at least part of a point for that. I'm not sure if we were forgotten but didn't hear from the kitchen at all during this time (or after) and I had to ask about our order myself. People behind me in line had gotten their food long before. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry that day but that is a pretty long wait in my opinion for brunch. Be aware that the line to order can be long and the wait to get your food can be long.
