During our visit to Orcas Island we ate at New Leaf Cafe 3 times. We visited Sunday to Monday, and…read moreunfortunately many places are not open on those two days. New Leaf Cafe is the nicest restaurant in town that was open those days. TLDR: Breakfast is better than dinner here. Dinner items: - Beet salad - excellent - Clam Pasta - it was good - Vegan Roaster Cauliflower with hummus and harissa sauce - cauliflower was a bit mushy for my taste. - Cod - it was ok, pricey for what it was - Shishito peppers - good - French onion soup - too salty - side of potatoes - delicious Breakfast: - smoked salmon bagel - so good. loved the house-made bagels and house smoked salmon and heirloom tomatoes. This is an elevated smoked salmon bagel. - Mushroom egg omelette - also incredibly delicious. The potatoes that came with it were also so delicious Highly recommend both breakfast entrees. If you had to choose, I would prioritize breakfast over dinner here. Breakfast is also more lovely to enjoy the view and the stained glass and art inside. Although breakfast at Brown Bear Bakery is also wonderful. Service was good for the most part. During one dinner, there was a very long wait between appetizer and our entrees.

Clearly popular since there was a line, but that's fine since it allowed me to take in the interior layout and admire the variety of baked goods. I also enjoyed all the decor and especially the fresh flower bouquets. There were a variety of bread loaves, other menu and retail items available for purchase. Once at the counter, pleasantly greeted and our order taken for a cortado, one of each of the featured focaccias, and a buckwheat chocolate chip cookie. We sat at a two top by a window which allowed us to take in the late morning sunshine and see all the birds on the trees outside. The cortado was spot on and served in a handmade cup. The focaccias were substantial and had a great tang. The buckwheat chocolate chip cookie was tasty day of and day after. I enjoyed also seeing the production baking area that was visible behind the main retail counters. Seeing the bakers shape the loaves, dipped into the seed mixture, and placed into bannetons arranged on speed carts to proof before baking.

We selected the frosted sugar cookie shaped like Orcas Island. This was shared a few days later and was not stale or hard, which of course, was appreciated. The grilled sandwiches were picked up from a takeout window after a brief wait at an outdoor two top. Both came with a bag of chips. It was pleasant dining al fresco with dappled sunshine and slight breeze. Plus it was amusing seeing plump little birds hanging out in the garden hoping to snag a crumb or two that might fall from the diner's tables. I ate half of the Italian sandwich, generously prepared on focaccia with soppresata, hot coppa, mortadella w/pistachio, pepper jack cheese, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, arugula, tomato, and garlic aioli. This was delicious! The other half kept well in the ice chest for later. The Homie opted for the Adult Grilled Cheese that had some serious cheese pull. Perfected toasted with compound butter, Swiss cheese, provolone, caramelized onions, balsamic glaze on sourdough bread. Great detour for lunch and a treat!

I got it without cheese and it still held up great. They also have a ton of pastries to pick from. I got the Black Tahini Sesame Tea Cake.

I spent a weekend at the Doe Bay Resort, on another part of the island, but visited the downtown area for an afternoon with my husband and some of our friends. We ended up spending most of our time at the Orcas Island Farmers' Market, which seemed like the place to be on a Saturday afternoon. It was super fun and festive, a bunch of vendors set up on a wide green lawn, with tons of people out enjoying the various offerings and the lively atmosphere. We wandered around, browsing the crafts and food stalls. I ended up getting oysters--raw, grilled, and fried--from Local Goods and a Polynesian plate from Moa Grill. Some tasty, substantial gratuitous snacking. If you're on Orcas Island during a farmers' market Saturday, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for some food and people watching. It's a great way to experience the vibrant villagey feel of this lovely island.

They had a small vineyard you encountered right before hitting the farm pond nestled at the top, a hidden gem that had chairs waiting for you to just enjoy the pure disconnect. As you keep exploring you'll come across their coop & another building which held additional small batch farm items for purchase and what looked like a workshop space. Parking is very limited on the property and make sure you catch the hours of the farm stand.
