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.

Omgosh we love this spot! Super cute and local! Their coffee is fabulous and free refills. But the…read moreshow stopper is the food and the employees. Let's start with the people. They are all sooo NICE! And the food is freshly made everyday! The blueberry muffins are mind numbing good!! Loaded with berries! we shared a breakfast veggie sandwich and the hash brown potato wedges were also fantastic! They were crispy and nicely seasoned so they had tons of flavor. And their homemade hot sauce is like a wing sauce. Delicious!

We've been coming to Friday Harbor for years as a stop along our annual sailing vacation. Today, on…read morea whim, I stopped in at Leaven and asked if they could do any of their menu items dairy-free. They literally all got together and came up with an off-menu crepe that was amazing! 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!

Lox crepe had a good ratio of lox to cream cheese and arugula/picked onions. The quiche (tomato and…read morepesto) was ever so slightly overcooked to my preference. Service was 5/5 very friendly. 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. Brioche looked good and seemed to be popular; not really a brioche person so didn't get it.

There are some public restrooms nearby if you walk down the pier a bit. The cafe shares a location with what appears to be a whale excursion/souvenir shop. It's clean and has plenty of seating. I got one of their specials, smoked salted maple. The espresso is smooth and the drink doesn't seem to be all ice. I will say I couldn't taste the maple, like at all. All I tasted was salt. I didn't end up finishing it due to this, but I'd be willing to give it another try if I find myself back on the island.

Their black coffee (Americano) was served to me a touch burnt. And I hated their blackberry peach muffin. Truly unpalatable. My partner had the burrito and he said it was really good. He ordered the drip coffee and he thought it was delicious. We shared a side of hashbrowns and we destroyed them. So good. We ordered everything to go otherwise i would have sent me coffee and muffin back. Such stark contrast to the yummy brekkie bun. Would order the bun and the hash AGAIN and AGAIN. Also worth noting the staff was hella friendly.
