Cheese plate--excellent!
Edward S.

If you are visiting Friday Harbor, you have to pay a visit to Mike's Cafe & Wine Bar. The hours are kind of limited (4:30-8 when we visited), but absolutely worth checking out. They have a very friendly staff and the ambience is very inviting, with kind of a wood theme (and very cool tables). Needless to say, they have a great wine list. I just had a couple glasses of red and my partner had some sparking wine and they were all good. The real surprise was the food. We had the hummus platter and it was outstanding. Not only was the hummus absolutely delicious, but everything around it including the roasting vegetable and the pita was just perfect.

If you are going to the San Juan islands, go to Mikes Cafe and wine bar! We have gotten recommendations from both travelers and long time locals for a while now and finally found our way over to Friday harbor to give it a shot and it did not disappoint. It is very apparent that time and effort goes into getting good ingredients, great staff, great presentation and great taste. Everything we had was very flavorful and almost too beautiful to eat. This place is 100% vegan but it is not even noticeable to those use to the alternative. We went with some skeptical friends who ate their words when we ordered, (in fact if we had time before they closed they were going to order more). They have vegan alternatives that are exclusive to the east cost (just going to show how far out of their way they go to get quality ingredients). They also do not just have food that happens to be vegan but great alternatives as well; I had the Ruben and it was amazing. Your ferry is most likely going to be delayed so you might as well spend those extra two hours getting great food here!

We have had a place on the island for years and have never been in because I was unaware children were allowed and also my husband was afraid of a "vegan" Menu. I had no clue there was an adorable patio out back and that we could bring the kids. We came in recently and it was amazing. We had the hummus antipasto app and I could Have eaten that all day long it was awesome with the roasted garlic and veggies oh heck yes! Between us we had tacos and some bowls and theand everything was so darn good. Can't wait to come back often. Service was great too.

Hummus platter was one of the best ever!

This little vegan cafe and wine bar was our favorite restaurant on the island, and we're not even vegan! (Well, 3 of the 4 of us aren't). We ended up coming here twice during our 3-day stay. The salads were wonderful - the Self Love salad was our favorite, but the Super Salad was really good, too. Tried the sweet potato tacos and "crabby" tacos - the sweet potato w/ black beans was so flavorful and tasty, especially the creamy sauces. The hummus platter was one of the best we've ever had, and the Szechuan bowl over rice noodles was spicy deliciousness. Check out the lovely back patio. They have some great wines, but the watermelon w/ ginger drink is really refreshing on a hot day. Big thumbs up!

Crab taco (vegan , no meat at all)
Cal C.

What if I told you there is no meat in this place? We walked in not knowing they only serve vegan dishes made out of all the natural ingredients from the island. The moment I realized that the place only serves vegan dishes I was both disappointed and curious. After scanning the menu a couple of times I decided to order crab tacos and burger. Wow!!! I was so glad that I gave it a shot. Both dishes were full of great flavors and tasty. I forgot that I was eating the vegan food. Honestly the reason they tasted so good is nothing to do with vegan or not but the selection of the ingredients used for these dishes. I would totally recommend this place to both vegan and non vegan friends. They don't serve typical tofu based meat stuff. They bring out great dishes that happen to be vegan friendly.

Great all vegan menu. We had a hard time picking our food. We ended up getting the pretzel appetizer, portabella burger, and the "crabby" tacos. A couple of quibbles. The food is a bit pricey, but nicer vegan food usually is and we noticed that prices were a little elevated on the island too. Unfortunately, the food didn't knock our socks off. The crabby tacos came in a semi-crisp taco shells (I think they were actually baked). I didn't like the texture. My husband's portabella burger was pretty bland. The one item that was really good were the pretzels. They were amazing. I would come back for the pretzel alone. The service was on the slow side. I don't know if it was the server or the kitchen, although I think it was more likely those amazing pretzels being baked from scratch.

Pepperoni Pizza - so hot and fresh!
Monica N.

I'm amazed by how delicious this vegan restaurant is! Honestly a hidden gem, if I lived in SJI I would come here all the time. We came here super hungry after ferry docked at 3pm, and was welcomed by cheery picnic tables at the back of Mike's Cafe. The Pepperoni Pizza can hot out off the oven and while it's no NYC pizza, it certainly has its own charm! Crispy but chewy dough with all the vegan cheese and pepperoni that tasted just as good as non-vegan versions. If vegan food was like this everywhere, I wouldn't mind turning vegan! Eggplant Lasagna was a bit pricier but a great choice as an entree - my family absolutely loved it. Super fresh tomatoes adding to that umami flavor! Superfood salad was heavy on the dressing - my fault, should've asked for it on the side... but loved the mix of ingredients! The vegan chicken was actually really delicious, I might like it even more than some real roasted chicken - it wasn't dry at all, and shredded into small crispy bites. This is def something I would eat on a regular basis to try to be healthy.

Mushrooms & wine.
Tyson G.

I have zero affiliation to the establishment or the owner. My girlfriend and I wondered in randomly. Very happy to have found this place. I am a hobbyist woodworker, welder and metallurgist. The decor in this place spoke to me in a way I cannot describe. The combination of burrowed live edge maple and custom crafted metal work was awesome to behold. Even if the food sucked, this place would be worth going to! But then we ordered. We ordered a mushroom platter which seemed a bit pricey at first but was worth every penny once it hit my taste buds. Very generous portion of curated mushrooms mixed in the perfect blend of oils and spices with cashew cheese and a layered pastry to serve as a delivery device. Bottle prices are reasonable and the selection is worth the visit alone. The food menu is surprisingly diverse and I definitely want to check out one of their pizzas next time. This place will definitely be on the list of places to visit every time I'm in Friday Harbor.

Rocky Bay Cafe - The crispy chicken wrap (add avocado) was absolutely loaded with chicken and bacon! Delicious!

Strong robust coffee, good stick to your ribs breakfast and good playlist on 70-90's music. Love…read morethey offer a big breakfast menu with dishes like chili relleno omelette and chilaquiles. Our veggie omelette, potatoes and English muffin were hearty and yummy. Will be sure to come every am on our next visit to SJI. Great locals diner vibe! The server was great!

Staff are friendly and attentive, this is a cute local café for breakfast…read more On the first day I had a two egg breakfast. I chose the one called "Healthy Start" because when I travel I'd like to have some veggies or fruit on a daily basis to keep a good bowel movement iykyk. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed with the fruit I got. The strawberries were sour, the cantaloupe looked like a 38 year single dad had just pulled an all nighter and then headed for an 8 hour shift, and the pineapple was ok. The over easy eggs were good. They were actually eggy in a good way. You know how sometimes you have an egg and it literally doesn't taste like anything? That was not the case here. The bacon was the best, it was thick-cut yet crispy. And the sourdough was sourdoughing. My partner had the huevos on our first day, he said it was okay. On the second day, I had oatmeal. I don't know why, but when I read the menu, the oatmeal sounded so much exciting. But when I actually got it, it looked kind of boring, just like the one I make at home. It was good and did the work though. My partner had the "today's special," velvet cake toast. He said it was too chocolatey and the portion wasn't that big for the price. I had one bite, and honestly, I was fine with the chocolatey taste. So if you're a chocolate fan, you might want to try it, otherwise skip it. I guess if I had ordered my usual two egg breakfast, it would probably have been great.
