I spent the summer flying for San Juan Airlines and I would often find myself on Orcas Island…read moreneeding to get some food. I frequented their soup and hot bar and I was always left satisfied. They had good options, ranging from ribs, corn dogs, orange chicken, and taquitos, as well as different soups. Unlike everywhere else on Orcas Island, the food here was always a good price ans didn't feel like expensive, "island pricing". I understand many people come here to shop and I can say that the grocery prices seemed to be comparable to prices you'd find on the mainland at Fred Meyer. The staff was always nice and friendly and the store itself was clean, well kept and organized. Sitting right in the heart of Eastsound makes it quite convenient as well. I definitely appreciated the sitting area to eat my food from the hot bar in the front of the store. My only major gripe was though they had wifi, no employee over my months of visiting was ever able to recall what the password was to access it which I found quite annoying. Otherwise, its a good store with a good hot bar for a quick lunch!

My fave cheese was their garlic herb cheese but we didn't go wrong with their variety. I also got all the vegetarian alternatives here! Well priced and stocked! I regret not getting their in-house backed tortilla chips! They offered samples that I tried on my way out! Rookie mistake! Don't miss this place! It's a must when visiting the island!

* My kind of store *…read more Ok, if I lived on Pender Island this is DEFINITELY where I would be doing my grocery shopping. This little store focuses heavily on organic and ethnic foods. The selection was quite impressive. In fact it looked like a mini version of Famous Foods in Vancouver (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/famous-foods-vancouver#hrid:WwIBf4hsEi5WU0nm1P3hJQ), and the prices were not terribly much higher than Famous Foods - which is amazing considering it is a small store on an island with high transportation costs. The prices for items which were also available at the bigger Tru Value (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/tru-value-foods-pender-island#hrid:HIXC7EuR2wBNHJFzCksezA) were actually lower here for things like organic milk, eggs, etc. What a pleasant surprise. There were also Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Polish, German, Italian, and other products making for a very nice selection. I get the impression they will source whatever people request as well if there is something you need. Nice little store!

Luckily, the Roche Harbor store is a handy dandy little spot that carries an impressive selection of everything from canned food to veggies to alcohol.

But, if you're in need of provisions, this is one of the few easily accessible (by boat) spots in the islands to stock up and be on your merry way. The cashiers here are also incredibly helpful and friendly - eager to answer any questions or even laugh at your lame island jokes!
