    Great location near the ferry. Best chai I've ever had. The staff was friendly and service was fast. They only take cash and checks.

    The best coffee and expresso on Whidbey Island. Southern Cross uses Torrefazione Coffee.... the very finest coffee.

    How I have only found about this place recently shocks me!!! Ever since I've discovered this…read moreincredible, delicious, cafe/bakery I have truly become a better person. Not only do I look forward to the gardens right next door but I crave the menu at flower house cafe. I am quite obsessed with the London fogs and the variety of flavored tea bag options they have. I have yet to try a different drink but my man enjoyed their ice caramel latte. But the bakery items is truly where they shine. All of the pastries I have tried have been phenomenal. My top favorite are the peanut brown butter cookie, the almond croissant, the ham and cheese croissant, and the raspberry cheese croissant. Every time I've gone the staff has been very helpful, welcoming, and joyful. The environment is such a vibe and the surrounding plants and water features are the icing on the cake. It can get crowded since it's the place to be! What more can you ask for? Plants, pastries, coffee/tea, and dog friendly!

If you love flowers, plants, and that calm garden feel, this place is definitely worth a stop. It feels peaceful and relaxing in a way that makes you want to stay awhile. The mocha and cookie were just okay for me. Our cookie tasted a little dry and stale, and the mocha leaned too milky. But honestly, the London fog and the whole atmosphere made up for it. The people working there were friendly too. I'd still come back for the vibe alone.

I was not able to get one of the angled parking slots adjacent to the cafe, but found a 4 hour spot near their conference center and fire station down the street. They definitely take full advantage of the amazing waterway view on their multilevel terrace with various plantings and whimsical wood carved fixtures. The cafe has a variety of both outdoor and indoor seating. Welcoming counter service. There's breakfast and lunch menu items, baked goods, and coffee/tea service. I decided to hang out onsite with the warmed, tasty vanilla scone and well crafted, spring inspired 12oz mocha. A few folks were on laptops, rest were there for lunch and lively convo. It was also good to see upbeat camaraderie among the cafe staff. Always a treat to stop by an indie cafe that provides pleasant service, decent food/bev selections, seating for lingering, and an amazing view!

In long We have a lot of appointments each week that leave me with time to spend as I choose; getting a cup of coffee in the morning and trying a new place is fun. And here I go again with more top marks after one visit. They're in one of the smaller huts and they're right next to one of the busier 2-lane stretches you can find around here. Ferry traffic and bedroom-community commuters must flood by here. I pulled in around lunchtime and they still have a customer on the other side--2 baristas, 2 windows. The kid who helped me just radiated warmth and kindness. She's a natural for talking to people. She leaned down and worked herself around in the window to make sure she was seeing and hearing me. There's only so much you can do in a coffee hut to seem super nice and thoughtful, and most people go the super-caffeinated, extra-vivacious route. I dug the change of pace here. Hippie warmth and community vibes, without all the moonbeam sparkles. Anyway, the Americano was just great. Maybe one or two ticks toward the roastier side that so many people love so much, but still in my wheelhouse. Under $5, which seems the standard. It was ready in two shakes of a lamb's tail and I was on my way down to the lighthouse to stare at the misty waters.
