I grabbed breakfast at Riptide Cafe while visiting the San Juan Islands and really enjoyed it. I…read morehad the avocado toast, berry blast smoothie bowl, and a latte. Everything was fresh and delicious. The smoothie bowl was especially good, packed with berries and a nice crunch from the granola. It is a little on the pricier side, but that's kind of expected given the location right by the pier. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a good coffee and something healthy to eat while taking in the view.

This place is a charming cafe located in Friday Harbor…read more The food and drinks here were absolutely spectacular. We ordered a few lattes made with their in-house syrups, and every single one of them was incredible. We loved them so much we went back for them again and again over the weekend we were there. We also tried their chorizo burrito and donuts, which were both outstanding. I honestly want to go back to the island just to eat here again! The ambiance of the place is awesome. It is super kid-friendly outside, featuring a wonderful yard with plenty of toys and things to do, which makes it incredibly relaxing for families. To top it all off, the staff was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visits. I highly, highly recommend checking out Medio Cafe if you are anywhere near the San Juan Islands. It was so good, and it's an absolute must-visit spot that we will definitely keep coming back to!

I'm genuinely surprised by the nearly 5-star rating based on our experience…read more We visited around 1:30 PM and were told that hot food was no longer being served. We then tried to order a salad, and were told that oh also that wasn't available. honestly felt like they just didn't feel like making anything. The only real option left was smoothies and açaí bowls. We ended up ordering three açaí bowls for the kids and a smoothie. At around $15 per bowl, the portions were shockingly small--only about a quarter full with five banana slice and three strawberries. one bowl was missing almond butter. The protein* smoothie couldn't be made properly because they were out of the protein powder. They offered to substitute collagen instead - not the same thing but ok. no discount. no acknowledgement. I understand that restaurants run out of items occasionally, but between most of the menu being unavailable, the outrageous price for the quality of the output, missing ingredients, and the complete lack of an apology or acknowledgment, this was a very disappointing experience.

The care and concern shown was fantastic. And, to top it off, the shop owner (?) came up and handed me a peach pastry that is vegan saying "It's not often that dairy-free people get to enjoy a sweet." We were so impressed that all of the allergy-free members of our party immediately ordered breakfast! Go here and support this business!

Bus your own table type of place. Drip coffee was standard. Does get a long line that fluctuates with ferry arrival times. We had about 5 people ahead of us and waited about 10 minutes to order.

We did wait a long time for the food to come out, but it was so worth it. The portions are gigantic, so we shared a salad and a torta dish- can't remember what was in it other than we didn't lick the plates because it's frowned upon. it's a small space with a center communal table and tables and chairs with eclectic salvaged feel and the front door is a roll up door so it's basically open air seating under a roof. what a great place and amazing food.

It's what you absolutely need after picking blueberries near by! I had the roasted chicken with potatoes, rice crispy treat and a chocolate chip cookie and each one was a hit!
