Would recommend to make the visit and would love to come back.

Despite the rustic place, place is clean and you can see the chefs cooking. Pancake is really good. I like the crispy edges and soft texture everywhere else.

Upon check in, they estimate the wait time would be 25-30 minutes. We are seated at 10:10am. The most impressive dish is the smoked salmon egg Benedict. We asked to serve the béarnaise sauce by the side. The blueberries pancake is soooooo fluffy. A must try. The hash brown is crispy on top and soft at bottom. We like it so much that we needed to order another one as a side dish. Chicken and waffles are good but not as great as the above three. Meat lovers omelette is normal. The most disappointing dish is the wontons. Traditional wontons have real prawn fillings. This one has a meatball texture which is quite off putting to me. While the restaurant decor and appearance can be improved, overall still an enjoyable experience. We definitely love the food here than OEB.

It's right across the street from Faith Church so if you happen to attend that church, this is a great place to drop by for lunch after the service, and if you don't happen to attend the church...still a great place to drop by for lunch! We're huge fans of poutine and I am always on the lookout for places that serve their poutine with vegetarian friendly gravy. So when I messaged this place awhile back to ask if their gravy was vegetarian friendly and they replied that it is, I knew we had to come here sometime. I shared half a Grilled cheese sandwich and a full order of poutine with my daughter. Also ordered a can of coke. I never said anything about wanting a combo meal. I assumed I'd be paying for everything a la carte but the lady said she would include the coke as a combo meal. This was unexpected and I thought it was very kind of her to do that, so...5 stars for the service! Food was awesome too. The sandwich was filled with lots of ooey gooey cheese. Gravy on our poutine was nice and hot so there was lots of melting action happening with the cheese curds. Oh, and there's free wifi at this place. Highly recommend this place!

Delicious, perfect ratios of ingredients, and very fresh quality. I got a "build your own" sandwich but they have a wide variety of pre selected sandwiches if you'd rather that they choose.

There are no tables inside, so I took my sandwich to a nearby bench. There are tons of places to sit and enjoy the views in Friday Harbor. I will absolutely come back here next time I come to FH.

There are some small tables for two along with high tables. I ordered the 'hot' sandwich, chicken parm. I was expecting crispy chicken parm with yummy cheese and rich tomatoe sauce. Let's be honest, the star of this show is the bread! The baguette was warm, soft and so delicious. However, that's where the excitement stopped for me. The chicken with breading was soggy and the pesto and mozzarella was such a small amount, it felt like a soggy chicken sandwich with lots of bread. If they put more pesto dressing, more mozzarella cheese and more tomatoe sauce, I could have looked past the soggy chicken. All in all, I'm glad it tried it, the bread is amazing, and I'll come back to try a 'cold' sandwich to see if the other options are better!

The best part of the sandwich was the bread, they sourced it par baked from a bakery and finished it in store. it was amazing. For some reason (I expect cost) they stopped doing that and now get the bread from another of their locations. I would agree with some other reviews here, Mangia's is a bit expensive, but I and my friends were willing to pay for quality. The new bread they use is dry, tough and sub par, I tried to get used to it twice, but will not be going back. This review could have been one star but for the fact that the staff are amazing.

We ordered the House Special Cold Cut ($9.25) and their seasonal special Matcha Fog ($7.95). The banh mi was delicious as always with a nice amount of filling and crunchy bread. I do think the bread was a bit on the crunchier/harder side this time though, but it was still tasty. The Matcha Fog was unique and the London fog paired well with the earthy matcha and neither flavours overpowered each other. It was a little on the sweeter side though, so would ask for half the syrup next time. Overall, would definitely return for their solid menu items!

I've sampled a few things: the red pepper-tomato soup is delicious with a nice tang; the mac and cheese features a classic, comforting cheese sauce even if the noodles run a tad overcooked; and the cheese toast is tasty, albeit on the oily side. Sides aside, the Hot Philly sandwich on ciabatta is terrific. The sliced beef is tender and plentiful, while cool arugula and occasional pops of jalapeño add a great contrast. The prosciutto sandwich--laced with fig jam and balsamic syrup--was a bit too sweet for my taste, but if if that's your jam you may enjoy it. As mentioned, the service is friendly and warm, and the team behind the counter seem genuinely happy to hear when you've enjoyed your meal.
