Then we were greeted by Brandon, one of the two owners. He's delightfully conversational; he made us feel immediately comfortable and cleared a window table for us. Service was top shelf throughout our dining experience. Brandon made cocktails to go with the appetizers, he explained the menu and took dinner orders. I had the leg of lamb and my wife had the steak. Both were cooked to perfection and the sauces were exquisite. Dessert was delicious Mine was the rhubarb upside down cake with ginger ice cream! Yummy The chef Nicholas and other owner stopped by the table to inquire about our dinner, he too was entertaining and conversational. So, I have read rave reviews about their sandwiches so we're coming back to try them. But, don't be fooled this isn't just a sandwich shop nor is it just another steak house. This is extraordinary, I recommend that you try it!

Kind of crazy that this place is just located remotely on the way to the ferry to Canada. If you are headed towards the Port Angeles area for any reason, make this a stop. We had the Corn Beef and Corn relish sandwich and the salami and brie. Both were outstanding

Girlfriend got the French toast which was also excellent. Good consistency, flavor, fresh. All the pastries including the chia goat-cheese and coconut pastry baked excellently. Ambiance is nice and quiet but limited seating Forsure. Service was good, fast, and friendly all you can ask for. Coffee was a 4 out of 5 but not bad at all. 5/5 would recommend will likely be picking up some bread before leaving.

We generally make sure to stop by whenever we're in Poulsbo or just passing through. Seating is at a premium, with only 3 small, indoor tables, and about 6 seats at the bar. When the weather is good, there are 3 small tables outside. During rush times, all seats can fill. Parking can also be problematic, which can be frustrating. There just aren't that many spots. Service is generally good, and the staff attentive. Online orders through their website almost never work well, however. Two times in a row we showed up at the designated time, only to find that out order had not been made, and we had to spend valuable time clarifying or just plain telling them that we had an order (which we had paid for).

    For those that like fresh roasted coffee and well roasted coffee this is the place for you. In all…read moreof Kitsap this roaster stands above the rest. Small batch and roasted well never burnt. This location specifically is my favorite. (They have 1 downtown Poulsbo and another opening in Silverdale) It's the OG and everything about it whispers cozy coffee shop. A perfect place for a quiet date or a place to do some office work or meet with a friend. Even the outdoor seating is cozy. It's not a huge place so it's kind of forced into being cozy but they have used the space well. Even have a drive through. Though fair warning as this is the best coffee around that drive through line leaks onto the main rd and you may be better off just going inside. They also have such unique specials for espresso based drinks. I have never been led wrong by their flavor combos. The also sell single origin ethiopa coffee and canned cold brew, 2 things I am always on the hunt for.

    Caffe Cocina "The Good, the bad, and the ugly"…read more Caffe Cocina is surprisingly busy, perhaps due the the Finn Hill Road drive through? I have very mixed feelings about this local Poulsbo, and soon to be Silverdale, establishment. The good: Caffe Cocina's food is arguably the best reason to visit one of their cafes. In particular, the chicken chorizo breakfast burritos are really delicious! The drink selection is extensive with some innovative twists on lattes and other coffee and tea based drinks. Unfortunately, I really judge a coffee shop on its ability to brew a really flavorful cup of black coffee - I will come back to that later in the review. The bad - The Finn Hill road location has mediocre to bad customer service depending on the day and the shift. Unless you are a charismatic individual under the age of 30, you are likely to be received with no shortage of attitude and general disdain...as if it is your pleasure to be ignored for as long as possible and then to have your order taken with the type of apathy that I would normally approach a Monday morning work conference call where you know you are going to have to listen to that one coworker that seems enamored with their ability to ask questions on points already sufficiently covered...I digress. The downtown location has much friendlier service, so head there if you do not require drive through services. The ugly - The coffee and coffee beans, probably tolerable if you are having an espresso-based drink, but I would shy away from the drip coffee and the beans for brewing coffee at home. The coffee is frankly over roasted, too oily, and decidedly one note for most of the beans that I have tried. I have sampled dark, medium, light roasts and single origins and have not tried anything worth recommending. Should this have been a 3 or a 4 star review? That depends on the location you are visiting and what you are visiting for. If you simply focus on the downtown location, I would by default increase this to a (4) star review due to the excellent customer service and the fact that they offer a pour over (unfortunately, the coffee is still mediocre). If you are visiting the Finn Hill location for anything other than the food, I stand by my (3) star review which is frankly generous given my experience most visits.

    What an amazing bakery! I heard this place has a line out the door and we were quite lucky with no…read moreline. There is no place to sit inside but there are sidewalk benches or you can walk as you snack. I love that you can look at all the pastries from the side walk. They not only entice you to get a pastry or three but you can plan out what you want while waiting in line. When you order, if I remember correctly, you only get your items in a box if you order more than six items. If you order less they are placed into a waxed bag. I ordered the sour cream donut, Viking cup, and a butterhorn with almonds. I loved them all! They all tasted so fresh, had a great texture, and was absolutely yummy. The Viking cup had the perfect balance of frosting to bun.

    First time visiting after I tried going in the past and it was closed. I got the Viking cup, which…read morewas highly recommended by reviewers and the person taking my order. There was a line out the door even 30 minutes before closing, but it went pretty fast and the shelves were also well stocked with pastries; not bare like I expected them to be coming so soon before closing. The person behind the counter explained that the Viking cups were all 20% off as the batch that day came out with irregular shapes. Taste wise it wasn't bad, tastes like a regular cinnamon roll but with more of that homemade touch you get with good quality ingredients and handmade cream cheese frosting (the contrast from store bought to homemade is big when it comes to cream cheese). The frosting had good texture and surprisingly I liked it better than the actual roll, especially since I'm known to always remove cream cheese icing. I think the roll would have been better if it had been served warm. Overall it was not bad, a little sweeter than I would have preferred, but I'm also not a huge cinnamon roll or cream cheese fan because of how sweet they always are in general, so that could just be a personal preference. Want to try the pecan roll or any of the cookies next time I visit, those sounded promising as well. Prices here are also pretty decent considering how touristy this place is, and coming from Seattle, anything under $5 is a relief. Definitely will become a place I hit every time I'm in Poulsbo!
