Double scoop in cup
Sarah L.

Delicious ice cream just a short walk away from the Ferry terminal. We got a double scoop cup with lavender vanilla and skagit strawberry. Both flavors were absolutely delicious! Make sure to look all the way down the line too, they have so many flavors at the end that we missed. The staff was very friendly and allows samples depending on the crowd. We took our ice cream and enjoyed it at the harbor!

Pecan praline

We had to have ice cream while on holiday and found this place. It's a cute store that carries a few other items, along with ice cream, coffee etc. They carry Lopez Island creamery ice cream. I got a chocolate caramel sundae, hubby got the chocolate truffle. We loved our ice cream, delicious, creamy and not too sweet. I liked the ice cream so much I had to come back today before we left the island. I got Pecan Praline today and loved it. My husband got a mocha and liked it. During both our visits the place wasn't busy and we didn't have to wait long.

My first ever bubble tea! The staff was very helpful and so friendly while answering my questions. It was quite busy but they did a great job moving people along quickly without making you feel rushed. I'd return if (when) I find myself back in Friday Harbor.

We stopped here for a treat. I only do non dairy and they had some tropical non dairy ice cream. Wow was this wonderful. It really hot the spot and was needed. This is a good spot to have in town. I'm happy had a chance to try it out. Daughter got a milkshake and she said it was delicious

Java Chip ice cream
Jon O.

If you have a sweet tooth while waiting for the ferry at Friday Harbor, walk up the hill to this sweet shop! They have ice cream from Lopez Island Creamery which is absolutely fantastic, especially the blueberry and the java chip. They also have a wide selection of candies, and although I didn't try it I saw they have bubble tea too.

Ice cream made by Lopez Island Creamery!
Sylvia K.

Our kayaking guide recommended this place for getting local ice cream in Friday Harbor. Yo! sells ice cream made by Lopez Creamery, which comes from a neighboring island in the San Juans. The employees were welcoming and friendly and let us try samples! I tried the huckleberry and the green tea, but ultimately went with the Skagit strawberry! A scoop of ice cream was kind of pricey being almost $4 - I guess these are Island prices. It was a generous scoop though? The spoon was pretty cute. Overall a cute shop and a good dessert option for local artisanal ice cream!

This place is PACKED!! The setup is kinda lacking. You look at your ice cream selections and order but have to turn the corner to pay. And just as you think you're making way to the register, there's a group of people or chairs/tables in the way. I think they might need more registers too to help with the mass that comes in. Regardless, their ice cream is the bomb.com! Earl grey is so so yummy! You gotta try it!

See all

They have a number of non-dairy options. Outstanding plant-based chocolate. The salted caramel is excellent, too.

Ordered a "cold brew" and got a few pumps of coffee syrup in milk... this should be disclosed before you order a "cold brew".

Rocky Bay Cafe - The crispy chicken wrap (add avocado) was absolutely loaded with chicken and bacon! Delicious!

Staff are friendly and attentive, this is a cute local café for breakfast…read more On the first day I had a two egg breakfast. I chose the one called "Healthy Start" because when I travel I'd like to have some veggies or fruit on a daily basis to keep a good bowel movement iykyk. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed with the fruit I got. The strawberries were sour, the cantaloupe looked like a 38 year single dad had just pulled an all nighter and then headed for an 8 hour shift, and the pineapple was ok. The over easy eggs were good. They were actually eggy in a good way. You know how sometimes you have an egg and it literally doesn't taste like anything? That was not the case here. The bacon was the best, it was thick-cut yet crispy. And the sourdough was sourdoughing. My partner had the huevos on our first day, he said it was okay. On the second day, I had oatmeal. I don't know why, but when I read the menu, the oatmeal sounded so much exciting. But when I actually got it, it looked kind of boring, just like the one I make at home. It was good and did the work though. My partner had the "today's special," velvet cake toast. He said it was too chocolatey and the portion wasn't that big for the price. I had one bite, and honestly, I was fine with the chocolatey taste. So if you're a chocolate fan, you might want to try it, otherwise skip it. I guess if I had ordered my usual two egg breakfast, it would probably have been great.

Strong robust coffee, good stick to your ribs breakfast and good playlist on 70-90's music. Love…read morethey offer a big breakfast menu with dishes like chili relleno omelette and chilaquiles. Our veggie omelette, potatoes and English muffin were hearty and yummy. Will be sure to come every am on our next visit to SJI. Great locals diner vibe! The server was great!

Thank you, Bakery San Juan for fueling our day of fun.

I was happy with everything I ordered here -- key lime pie, sour cream raspberry muffin, oatmeal…read moremolasses cookie, and mushroom quiche. The key lime pie had a perfect crust and meringue, and just enough filling. I loved the crumbly top of the muffin and whole berries. The cookie was also stuffed with ingredients in every bite and the quiche was well done! It's too bad this place is only on SJI. They would make a killing in Seattle

We were initially planning to head to Madrona Grill for lunch on the recommendation of our hotel…read moreconcierge, but after realizing that their online menu and their actual in restaurant menu is entirely different (and missing what we were planning on ordering), we decided to eat at the Lime Kiln Grill instead. Owned by the same company, this restaurant is a more casual counter-service type of establishment, apparently famous for their donuts, which we of course had to order as well. It was pretty busy at 11AM, but there were plenty of tables both inside and out. The food took around 20 minutes to arrive. Maple Donut ($2.49) - This donut looks better than it eats. It tastes decent enough - both icing and cake base that aren't too sweet, with vanilla flavored dough and a tiny bit of maple flavoring in the icing. The problem is the texture - when I want a really good cake donut, I expect there to be a crust on the outside contributing a bit of a texture difference vs. the soft and fluffy cake interior. This one, on the other hand, is completely soft and fluffy throughout, like it wasn't fried nearly long enough to develop a crust. Either that, or it had been sitting too long in a moist environment? The sign says they make these fresh daily, so it's a bit strange. It's also a bit on the oily side. (3/5) Clam Chowder, Bowl ($10.95) - Good creaminess, a good amount of ingredients mixed into the stew, with skin on red potato, celery, and clam. There's isn't too much clam swirling around, and the clam taste seems to be a little lacking compared to other clam chowders I've eaten. It's definitely more milky in taste than a lot of other chowders. They add a ton of dried herbs that add a bit more complex flavor. It's salty and milky, but otherwise a bit too light on the clam. Still, it's not a bad clam chowder by any means. (4/5) Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich ($19.95) - This sandwich includes a thinly pounded breast filet, breaded and fried to perfection. While it's white meat, it's surprisingly not dried out and instead is still rather softer in texture and not overcooked. The breading is fried very nicely, being almost cornflake-like in crunch factor. It's applied very evenly and tastes somewhat similar to KFC (texture-wise as well) - not that I've eaten KFC in a while, so I could be wrong! A ton of spices adorn the breading. If this is a frozen, commercial fried chicken patty, I would be very impressed. Lengthwise cut pickles line the bottom bun, which is buttered and toasted well, along with a smattering of fried jalapeno chips. There's a bit of slaw on top, then a bunch of chipotle mayo. It's a little smoky, but not really spicy at all. I do have an issue with the bun - it's a rectangular ciabatta that I don't think goes well with the sandwich. To have good textural contrast, typically fried chicken is paired with a soft and fluffy bun. The ciabatta, on the other hand is a denser and drier bread that doesn't fit as well. Then again, I was not expecting this sandwich to be any good and the quality certainly surprised me. The sandwich comes with some normal commercial thin fries. They are salted heavily, have a good crisp and taste like what a fry should taste. No complaints here. (4/5) I don't think I missed out on anything choosing to eat here instead of Madrona Grill. They serve simple, but satisfying fare. I'm just not sure why they are so famous for their donuts though! Bathrooms - Both larger rooms and individual rooms outside on both sides of the building shared with the other businesses.
