What a cool coffee shop in downtown Oak Harbor. I'm told they change their decor theme and menu…read moreevery three months. The theme this time was a pirate and siren theme. Got a brown sugar coffee drink, forgot the name, but it was a delicious drink to have after we ate some lunch nearby. The staff was super nice and friendly. The entire shop was filled with beautiful decor. Made me feel like I was in a pirates of the Caribbean set.

I found this place while looking for coffee on the way back to Seattle after Deception Pass, and…read morehonestly this place was such a gem. I'm usually a little skeptical of themed coffee shops because I worry the drinks will be too gimmicky or way too sweet, so I almost skipped it. So glad I didn't. I was genuinely impressed. The cake was so moist and not overly sweet at all, and the drink was sweet but still had a real coffee flavor instead of just tasting like sugar. The decor and overall vibe were also really cute, and everyone working there was so nice. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the whole experience, and the quality of the drinks and desserts actually backs it up. I'd definitely come back and try a different theme next time. Really impressed by this place.

I've been meaning to visit this bakery since it opened, but never had the opportunity until now…read more I finally got the chance when I dropped my truck off across the street at Les Schwab's. I checked out Noona's offerings and decided on a pineapple turnover and a Red Bean pastry. To be honest I chose both because I have never eaten either one before. Red Bean Cakes are an East Asian treat made from red bean paste and wrapped in a soft dough. They symbolize luck, prosperity, and ancestral respect. When you visit, they have little take away boxes and serving tongs that you use to place your orders into the box. Not everything is available for self selection. Some of the items are behind a glass display case. The Red Bean Cakes was smooth and silky with a nice soft pillowy dough around it. I took a few bites while sitting at the outside table and the proprietor asked me if I would like her to warm it up. I agreed and a few seconds later she was returning with my warmed bean cake. Maybe I have simple tastes, but I think I preferred the bean cake room temperature. Both ways were delicious, I just liked it a little better before it was warmed. The pineapple turnover was a joy to eat. I love pineapple and was not disappointed with this turnover! The dough was perfectly flaky the way turnovers should be and the pineapple filling was wonderful!

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Chris' Bakery. I purchased a pastry expecting…read morefresh bakery food, but when I opened it, the inside was completely frozen solid and impossible to eat. Unfortunately, I had already driven out of town when I discovered the problem, so I couldn't bring the food back. I contacted the bakery to explain what happened, but instead of offering a refund for the defective food, they offered me half off a different sandwich. Why would I want to spend more money at a place that just sold me food I couldn't even eat? Mistakes happen, but good customer service means making things right when the customer receives a bad product. I'm very disappointed with how this was handled and will think twice before spending my money here again.

First, I want places like this to succeed, I really do. Local bakeries and coffee shops are some of…read moremy favorite places but I can't give very high marks to Amaya's. I've been here several times and each time I left thinking it would be my last. My intention is not to dump on a small business so I'll do my best to offer a sincere critique. Ambiance: No music, mostly empty shelves, sparse selection of baked goods, feels a bit empty--like they're going out of business. Any one of these could be overlooked but combined they make for a poor experience. Food/drink: Coffee is on par with what's around here. You won't find specialty roasts or fancy techniques, but it's good. If you're looking for fancy-pants coffee you'll have to head to Pelican Bay bookstore in Anacortes. The baked goods I've tried are, unfortunately, underwhelming. I typically go for their gluten free options and have found them to have textures that are too grainy with flavors on the bland side. The cookies are fine, the gluten free scones are quite bad--flavorless, super dense and hard, not crumbly, kinda sticky. This was the only baked good I've ever tossed. I have yet to try their pies or cakes. Their regular cookies are pretty good but are a bit pricey for the size. Staff: The staff seem a little awkward and shy. I prefer a friendly customer experience. I've only had one visit here where the staff made an attempt at small talk. Usually they stay out of sight. Someone else might like this, it's just not for me. Final thoughts: I'm giving Amaya's 3 stars not because I think they've necessarily earned them, but bc I want them to succeed and I've only been here 4 or 5 times so I don't have a robust experience sample. I hope they do well and would still encourage a visit. We need more small businesses. I would, however, discourage the gluten free scones. Avoid them at all costs

I had the kolache for the first time and I loved them for the bread softness. I asked to warm the sausage kolache in the oven and it tasted better. Then we shared the Marion berry kolache! Yummy!! Ellie (sp.?) served us nicely. The place has few tables to sit in and enjoy the goodies while we savor them and the peacefulness of the moment. I am always drawn to the aroma of the freshly baked bread and danish.

We went between lunch and dinner, so there was no wait, which was perfect. Kristen took great care of us -- she was incredibly nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the halibut sandwich, surf & turf, and a side of prawns, and everything was excellent. The portion sizes were just right -- satisfying without being overwhelming. The halibut was perfectly cooked, moist, and flavorful. The steak was perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and a really nice cut. And the prawns were crispy and delicious! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Seabolt's. Great food, friendly service, and a laid-back Whidbey Island atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're craving good seafood!
