I liked the interior brick walls and the abundant support for indie artists seeing artwork on display and merch for sale. There were coffee roasts from Victrola and a decent selection of items in the pastry case. Various seating arrangements from two tops, community tables, and counter seating towards the entrance. Overhead music was not discernable. Clean restroom which was appreciated before the drive back home. Pleasant service and well crafted mocha.

That being said, the coffee is handcrafted and incredibly tasty! Really a good cup. The reason that I went with the 3 star is because the service was almost negative. They just weren't really kind or could care less if we were there. Which takes away from the overall experience.

I'm glad I changed my mind! I ended up having a lovely chat with one of the owners, Michelle, as she whipped up delicious drinks which were crafted with care. The interior is cute, cozy, and full of beautiful Native crafts, books, etc. Michelle and her mate are very vested in giving back to the community and education, which is a phenomenal endeavor and all the more reason to support them.

We were on vacation, and because my husband's name is Connor, we had to come explore La Conner! We…read morewere hungry for lunch after the tulip festival, so we drove up here. There is some street parking, but we ended up parking in a public parking lot north of the cafe. The place is cute and charming, and it's decorated with art that is for sale. The menu on the wall was just for drinks, and their food menu was laminated nearby for us to peruse. We had a nice chat with JJ (who I think is the co-owner), and he was very bubbly and nice. It was fun to witness his kindness to other customers and neighbors as they came in. This place seems very involved with the community. There are a few tables both outside and inside. The TV behind us was playing Pandora for radio music. Nearby, they had some free chocolate-covered coffee beans and your own water and silverware station. I got an Arnold Palmer, and boy, was it tart! I got my own sugar to try to sweeten it up. I also ate the Ricky Ricardo panini, and it wasn't my favorite. The aioli wasn't flavorful enough for me to notice, or maybe it was missing, and the pickles were too thick. I didn't love the flavor profile on this sandwich, and it was pretty hot (in temperature) to eat, so I had to let it cool down a bit. Connor loved his smoked salmon toast! There were a ton of capers, so lots of salt there. The herbed cream cheese was the star of the show, with the flavorful toast being a close second. He really appreciated it. I think I'd be happy to come back and try a different sandwich.

The omelet was fluffy, the potatoes were delicious, and the portions were generous. It was one of those meals that had us talking about how good it was long after we finished. What made the experience even better was the incredible service. Our waiter, Stevie, was so sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests. We also want to give a special shoutout to Emily, who took the time to stop and chat with our daughter. Small gestures like that mean so much when you're traveling with little ones, and she made our family feel so welcomed. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be recommending this spot to family and friends and will be back the next time we're in town!

I came for ONE cookie. ONE. What I found was an absolute wall of bakery beautifulness that stopped me dead in my tracks. The line was out the door, not surprisingly but I needed every minute of that wait to make my decisions. Final verdict: a raspberry kiss mocha (dreamy), a lemondoodle cookie (excuse me, WHAT), and a molasses cookie that I'm still thinking about. To. Die. For. My husband went rogue and ordered a Lotus drink, which unfortunately arrived as approximately 90% soda water with the flavor just... vibing separately at the bottom. We tried. We stirred. We let it go. Stick to the baked goods, friends. The staff was warm and lovely even with a line out the door, which is its own kind of superpower. Calico Cupboard, I will be back. Ideally with a seat at an actual table someday. And maybe six cookies this time.

Had a cup of their coffee Friday morning, and it was so good, we returned Saturday morning to enjoy another cup o' Joe. I'm a raven, so finding anything about ravens is exceptional and rare. Lots to look at here. Spent far too much money doing it. What's a raven, you might ask? If you have to ask, the distinction won't make an impression on you. For those that know, they're ravens, too, It's a safeguard thing: Odin made the raven an imparter of wisdom. Anyway... This is a great store! The proprietress is a fascinating individual with whom I loved talking, and if we hadn't had a mandatory obligation 80 miles away at an appointed time, I probably would have spent more time and money (yes!) in the store. It's on my list of places to revisit when we return to La Conner.

On multiple occasions, they have made me feel bad about asking any questions at all about the menu or not ordering quickly enough. They seem put out by serving customers. The last time I was in, I had a question about the size of a beverage, and the woman was not only rude to me, but she proceeded to talk rudely about me behind my back when I was in the bathroom and my friend who was waiting for me overheard at all. I guess they have enough business, because they feel like they can treat customers like crap. The coffee is nowhere near good enough to treat people this way, as well.
