Everything about the sandwich was fantastic: the biscuit was perfect, the eggs cooked well, and the Jam was just sensational as well, no notes. It was also a huge sandwich. Sadly I didn't get anything from their bakery case, and I have regrets!! It looked superb.

Coffee was fantastic, as was the chocolate chip pumpkins bread. I stayed on the porch with our…read morepooch, but vibes all around were perfectly cozy for a coffee shop. This is definitely a place I'd bring a book and stay a while! The person taking orders and the barista were both very friendly. The wife picked out a Maple Cardamom latte for me (oat milk, of course) and it was cardamom forward in the best way. Delightful experience!

I have to give this place max props. One thing that you will learn if you're not a native of the…read moreisland is that businesses here aren't like the mainland. 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.

Can't go wrong if you're looking for something savory or sweet. Great quiches, great pastries,…read moregreat coffees and even better staff. So friendly and welcoming. Stopped here a few times in the last week while vacationing on Orcas Island. Had a great talk with David during one of our visits. Have us lots of recommendations for bakeries down in SF and near Santa Rosa where we're from. A must stop if visiting Orcas.

It really is between 3.5 & 4 stars. The food is good here and I appreciate the Homemade pastries…read more Service is fast and friendly. Grabbing a quick bite here is worth waiting in line for a few minutes.

Super cute local ice cream shop in town…read more Local hand made ice cream and sorbets from Lopez Island Creamery. They offer up a good variety and if you can't make up your mind opt for the 7-flavor ice cream flight. I choose a to dabble in a shrub float. New item for me. Shrub is a sweetened fruit infused vinegar. For the float they use the shrub (from local vendor Girl Meets Dirt), seltzer water, and your choice of ice cream. I definitely could see this being a summer drink. Has a bit of a bite from the vinegar (I'd advise to make sure it's all fully incorporated or you'll end up with a straight shot of the shrub).

Absolutely no bad notes here. The ice cream flavors were so good! I sampled the matcha almond and…read moreearl gray and my partner sampled POG and coffee cookies. All were HITS. I ended up ordering a scoop of the matcha almond which definitely had more almond flavor than matcha, but the matcha came through towards the end of the tasting. The person working there was doing their thing! It was just them yet they were calm, cool, collected despite having a line out the door. The vibes were chill with both indoor and outdoor seating options.

Great, superlatively clean and amply stocked local grocery store…read more The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Whilst I've enjoyed their fresh cut sandwiches before boarding the ferry, the fourth star is awarded based solely on their carrot cake. Until eating Orcas Island Market's carrot cake, I thought the best carrot cake I'd ever eaten was served at the restaurant atop Sax Fifth Avenue, New York. Potential carrot-cake connaisseurs should note that cakes are rotated daily albeit carrot cake is not offered daily. If you visit in the day carrot cake is served, buy a generous slice and enjoy.

Great little brewery with really good beer. A must stop when visiting Orcas…read more Follow the signs to the parking lot and head down the staircase.

Absolutely adorable brewery. Adorable isn't a word I use often to describe a brewery bit this place…read morejust that. Plenty of parking and signs leading you to an adorable brewery playing awesome reggae music. Two outdoor seating areas. Yummy brews. I had a blackberry ale, I think. They do flights. Either 4 choice or ALL of them. I laughed, really? I had one and it was enough. If I had a ride I would love to hang out and drink more. Super comfortable place with board games too. Doggy friendly patio out front. Signage explaining rules for the kiddos if you bring them. For a person who goes to brewery sans children, I appreciate that. They don't serve food here but I think you can bring food. Drink good beer and enjoy your life. SYOY!

The dishes were all pretty interesting - my favorites were the carrots and the poh-tay-toh pizza. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you're on the island!
