The arch and perfectly placed palms definitely drew me in. The gal working was friendly and welcoming. Prices were on par with expectations for a touristy spot smack dab in touristy season. They carried artisan pots, tropical plants, boho birdhouses, and all the makings for terrariums. The back room beyond the glorious arches and wooden doors is where you can find a skylight tropical oasis and great plant starters. Just follow the calming sounds of the lily pad fountain. A definite 'must pop in' if frolicking through town.

Everything is reasonably priced, and well laid out. Just the right amount of stuff without being overwhelming. And the plant room is so serene, and peaceful.

What an adorable shop!!…read more I was just walking down the sidewalk to another destination but their window display caught my eye and I wandered inside. I left with a cozy sweatshirt but easily could have purchased way more. The candle selection was amazing, they had a variety of perfumes, locally-themed books, shirts/sweatshirts, handknit hats, and even some gorgeously colored super-bulky yarn. The employee I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Parking is also fairly easy to come by (at least midweek in winter). Definitely recommend Wild Hemlock if you're looking for fun local gifts for others or a nice treat for yourself.

Pelican Bay Books & Coffeehouse isn't just a bookstore; it's the heart of Anacortes's literary and…read moresocial life, a true haven where the maritime air meets the comforting scent of old paper and fresh espresso. This isn't a sterile chain shop--it's a warm, sunshiny hub built from beautiful wood tones, welcoming you to slow down and stay awhile. What immediately strikes you is how wonderfully curated the space is. Despite being "jam-packed" with thousands of quality used and collectible books, the store manages to feel open, airy, and inviting. The selection is fantastic, especially their deep cuts in Pacific Northwest History, general fiction, and esoterica. Browsing is a delight thanks to the meticulous organization that makes finding that hidden literary gem feel like a genuine discovery. The "Coffeehouse" part of the name is equally crucial. Serving delicious, locally-sourced coffee (like Olympia Coffee Roasters beans) and boasting a pastry case filled with unique treats--the legendary rosemary sea salt rolls, figgy bars, and baked goods are must-tries--it perfectly complements the reading experience. The friendly, attentive staff, who are clearly passionate about bookselling, are always ready to offer a recommendation or assist, often going above and beyond. Whether you're looking for a quiet, bright nook to get some work done, a comfortable chair to sip a vanilla bean latte, or an engaging evening out for a poetry reading or live piano music, Pelican Bay delivers. It's a bookstore with character, clearly beloved by locals and a mandatory stop for any visitor. It's the kind of place you'll remember long after you've left Anacortes. Highly, highly recommend!

Oh my stars! This bookstore.....is simply perfect!!…read more This is honestly the cutest book store I've ever been to. Great place for pictures, affordable great quality second hand books, and oh did I mention it's also a coffee shop. I mean could it get any better? No I don't think it could. I genuinely felt so happy the moment I stepped inside this store. It's just such a beautiful space that feels cozy and inviting. After walking around a bit I went to order a coffee. And I honestly don't think I've ever met nicer baristas in my life! They were all so sweet and kind and helpful! I tried out the fig leaf latte and the autumn tea latte and both were spectacular! Great flavor and smoothness. Overall I love this bookstore and it's well worth the drive! Definitely a hidden gem! I'll be back!!
