    Absolutely wonderful Carrot Cake from Owl Sprit!
    Alden C.

    Just several weekends ago we met up with some family who move to Port Townsend not too long ago. It was suggested that we go to Owl Sprit Cafe which we were thrilled to hear it come up. This latest visit would be our third time here and the food is as good as ever! This time around I got their Banh MI sandwich which had pork belly for the meat. It was fantastic! That pork practically melted in my mouth it was so good! The veggies that came along with sandwich were very fresh too! We spotted desserts and I got won over by the carrot cake and as expected it was wonderful! Flavorful, moist and a joy all around this carrot cake was something that I could have as a frequent guilty pleasure. Still five stars all of the way!

    The Owl Spirit Cafe is so Port Townsend, a comfortable ambiance, eclectic decor and healthy and tasty food. I enjoyed the Bahn-Mi sandwich which was their very flavorful and juicy version using roasted pork belly. It was the kind of sandwich that once you pick it up you do not put it down. Our service was very good and a really nice meal.

    Had a great late lunch at Owl Spirit Cafe after a morning of whale watching. The food was fresh and delicious and the bohemian feel to the place was nice. Friendly service.

    Pork Belly Bahn Mi Sandwich. So good.

    Nice little cozy cafe with a variety of food ( gluten free as well) that you can try. Service is excellent. Prompt and friendly. Price is a bit high. But quality of food well worth it.

    I planned a birthday trip for a lovely friend of mine, and I chose this place to fit everyone's dietary needs. They knocked it out of the park with the taste, flavor, and allergen needs for all 4 of us. They offer gluten free/ vegan options which is a must for half our party. I ordered the Banh Mi, and I would 100% go back for that sandwich. I didn't leave a crumb on my plate! All the other ladies also ate all of their food. Not pictured were the sweet potato fries with a spicy aioli! They last maybe two minutes as an appetizer. The cage was extremely busy with one server, and she was amazing, and very accommodating. If you are looking for a delicious meal in Port Townsend I couldn't recommend them more! The seating is so comfortable, and the music was so good! We all will be back!

    Taco Salad

    Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food here. I got a taco salad to go and it was just disproportionately filled with beans and corn. I think that the price for the food is again, disproportionately expensive and the food was just bland and undesirable. It tastes as if they just opened a can of black beans, rinsed it under water, and plopped it onto lettuce. Unfortunately, I would not return to this establishment.

    One half of the Bahn Mi sandwich.

    What a great find! This is a wonderful little restaurant just off Water St. It is small but has a full menu and decent beer selection. We're vegan and went with the Bahn Mi sandwich which as simply fantastic. Excellent bread, spicy vegan mayo and tasty mushrooms. We also had the potato and asparagus soup which was creamy and filling. Good service (a bit slow when they're busy) and a friendly and relaxed environment. Really enjoyed it each time we came here.

    Do they exhibit art? Who?

    Yes! There is always art on display on the walls and for sale. The artists change pretty regularly, local artists mostly.

    Sounds perfect, but would there be room for 7-8 friends to all sit together (celebrating a birthday dinner)?

    You'd have to move tables around but bc it's so small they're very communicative, the biggest table seats 6

Combined with the fantastic service and inviting atmosphere, it made for a great dining experience. A bonus for pet owners the restaurant is dog-friendly if you're bringing your furry friend along. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again!

    Y'all knocked it out of the park!…read more Brit owned shop offering comfort food that is a perfect complement to its coastal town. Don't miss the salmon chowder! This is likely the most memorable soup I've ever had. Creamy, smooth, with the perfect balance of fresh buttery salmon. If you come for one thing let it be this!!! As a Floridian who's traveled to the New England states, I can confidently say I know seafood, and this chowder still surprised me! The rock crab Mac n cheese was also excellent. Warm, gooey, and bottomless. The crumb layer enhances each bite of that tasteful crab. Again, the perfect balance of the seafood flavor with the rest of the meal, making each bite hit with the same comfort as the first. Staff are friendly and outgoing, and are eager to provide recommendations. The service was quite quick. Plenty of seating though the shop is on the smaller side, it will seat groups of 6 easily. The vibe is so chill. The backdrop of the town and its quaint shops next door felt like I was in a hallmark film.

I was getting ready to leave the area and I didn't want to miss my ferry but I was starving, so I ordered a couple items for pickup and headed over. I chose the Teddy Oggie which is a traditional steak pasty and I also ordered their Big Dawg because I'm a big girl and I'm familiar with the size of a pasty so I thought I might need a little something extra. When I arrived, the vibe was kind of awkward. There was music playing and there were only one or two other people inside. The staff wasn't particularly welcoming and after a few minutes I was happy to grab my food and leave. As I walked back to my car I realized I had a little time before I had to head to the ferry so I stopped at an outdoor table to have a little sample before I headed out. The food was so dry. And I don't mean a little dry, I mean really really dry. The pasty in particular was overwhelmingly crusty with very little moisture or flavor to balance it out. I was hoping for something warm and savory but instead it was just brittle and stale. It tasted old . Like it had been sitting out for a while and then been overcooked . After a few bites I threw it away and felt relieved that I had bought a second item because I hadn't eaten all day. The sausage was just as bad. The bun was so dry it was crunchy. I didn't mind that the sausage skin had a crunch to it, but unfortunately once I got inside it wasn't moist or juicy either. Oh and the little tiny sliver of mustard that they put on top? I could have pushed that all into one bite and it still wouldn't have been enough. I took a few bites and threw that away too. I understand pasties can be crusty and that's part of what makes them a pasty, but there's a huge difference between being so dry and crusty that it's difficult to eat and having a real savory pasty. The whole experience was so disappointing. I don't know if Yelp has made a huge mistake with the rating for this place or if I just caught them on a bad day. I love the idea and I often go to British pub style restaurants when I can but based on my experience here I would not recommend this location.

I had the "Tide & Tail" Sandwich ($22): a panko fried Bering Sea cod filet with wild Oregon Bay shrimp, sharp white cheddar cheese, Red Dog Farms organic mixed greens, preserved lemon-pepper aioli served on a Crusty Crumb Bakery Focaccia, with a choice of side. I chose a small house salad. It was all fantastic! Couldn't have asked for anything more. Will definitely come back on our next road trip. Maybe it'll be less windy and we can eat on the outside patio next time. Fantastic find!!!

That's pretty much what we got here though not overwhelmingly good. First I'll say that other recent reviews pointing out differences in this cuisine vs traditional Mexican American or authentic Mexican dining and the very nice staff are not far off. Of course it's all personal taste and expectations. So here we were only moderately pleased with the food and drinks but it was a marvelous place to spend a little time near the water in nice outside tables with light blankets folded over the backs of seats for chilly times on the deck. The margaritas (hers spicy and mine standard) were good enough though served in a chimney glass which is different. The tacos we ordered were pretty good though not the best ever by any means. The hot sauce was "house made habanero " I guess in generic bottles after asking for Cholula. It was ok but not my preferred sauce. And the chips and salsa I asked if they were included and brought to the table but later found that they charged us for them???? Not a fan of that from an expense and a transparency standpoint!! The chips are house made and not uniformly made with thick chewy parts and a lot of crumbs. House made salsa reminded me of a house made version of jarred salsa. The staff was very nice and accommodating and two cute sisters dominate the service scene which was fun to watch. So I don't know that we will go again but glad we tried it. Wish I could give this a better review but it was just OK.
