Such a cute coffee shop. I loved the artwork on the menu! Too many options to choose from so I went with something I've never seen before - a buttercream latte. Just as described it was a cup of sweet goodness. We also had breakfast sandwiches which were so delicious and rich, no ketchup required - these are perfect on their own!Wheelchair accessibility: Tight for a wheelchair but access is possible provided it isn't too overcrowded inside.

We had the dark mocha and matcha latte. I love the size options and personable service. I would go back and try their breakfast food. The drinks were good .Vegetarian options: They had some vegan breakfast sandwichesDietary restrictions: They offer non dairy milks.

It's a neat little place with a cool small town vibe. The crowd in the queue was nice to chat with. The place is tiny - so definitely not a place to sit down at.Instead of 2 lattes we ordered, we got what I think was mochas. Someone must not have been paying attention.

Don't blink...or you'll walk right past this quirky tiny space! I had to stop just for the experience, as it's just next to the Griffin Bay bookstore, perfect 1, 2 punch, (caffeine and books), and I'm glad I did.Got myself an Americano and breakfast burrito to go. "yummy for my tummy"heads up...if you're a tad claustrophobic, you might want to send in a friend...Way cool coffee joint, and a darn good cup 'o' Joe. Remember...don't blink

Visiting family on island , I was told to come to this shop for the best coffee . The first day I ordered an Americano - and the flavor of the coffee was delicious. The gal working was super sweet . I was so happy with the coffee I came back the next day . The line was LONG and there were maybe some orders happening that were separate from the line I was in , but the owner worked quickly and I enjoyed the overall atmosphere of standing with people all waiting to enjoy something delicious. I ordered another americano and a vanilla latte frappacino which my husband really liked . We came again before we left town , ordered the same for my husband and I ordered the Third Eye Latte , with soy milk. It was delicious! Just as described , cardamom and vanilla ish flavors . Really went well with the soy milk. The ratio of foam to soy was perfect ! So glad we were able to come here and we will be back next time we are on island .Dietary restrictions: Offers all milk alternatives.

My husband and I met a couple who suggested this place. I checked the reviews and I went on a limb to check it out! I am so glad I did. The man who was working was friendly and personable. I order a vanilla latte and it was amazing. No burnt coffee taste. I will definitely come back again - I highly recommend this place.

Favorite coffee shop in Friday harbor! The food is delicious and the coffee is excellent. They can be super busy in the mornings but the staff is so fun and excellent at what they do! Really loved just being there while we waited for all the delicious things they were preparing for us! Can’t wait to go back

We were visiting Friday Harbor for the weekend and stumbled by this place. They have great drink options and a whole menu of breakfast sandwiches and burritos. We tried the Captain sandwich and it was great! My iced matcha was also delicious. Highly recommend if you’re in search for a quick bite to eat or drink!

Really yummy and unique offering of drinks. Store is in this cool, narrow essentially alley turned into a coffee shop. The branding is really neat too! I enjoyed coming here while we stayed a long weekend on the island.

They have a wide range of latte options that I’ve never seen elsewhere. I got Madrona latte and third eye chai. They have interesting aftertaste but not as impressive as I’ve expected.

Visiting Friday Harbor and stopped here for coffee. It was made quick and was very good! I’d definitely recommend this place! 😊

I wish I could live here just for this coffee place alone. We’re here for 4 days and just discovered this place yesterday, sad we only went twice instead of 4x. The coffee is so flavorful and they take the time to make it right, so be ready for a line. I had both of their vegan sandwich options, the breakfast sandwich and the islander burrito. I recommend the breakfast sandwich over the burrito. This place will be a staple when we visit again.

So convenient to the marina at Friday Harbor and the ferry site. Coffee was excellent. Service is so friendly. Seating is really limited, so it's not a place to hang out. They also have food items, which we did not have the chance to try.

We went to San Juan islands for a weekend and stopped by this shop for a coffee. It’s a small quaint to go shop I wouldn’t particularly say a cafe as there was no seating. It’s just an a small foyer like at home. It was pretty crowded on the afternoon we went. There was just one person working in bringing out the drinks. The drinks also seemed pretty expensive compared to big chain cafes.Ordered 2 dark mochas, the portion size was also too less in the cup 🤷🏻‍♀️ not something we expected to carry along on the trip. It costed 12$ with extra for tip!!!! Pretty expensive I would say. Anyways it’s a one time pit stop if you’re in the island for a visit. A little too hyped rating on google imo!

Great little joint with fun crew and good coffee and unique other goodies. I had the golden milk latte yumm creation. They also had food, but we were already fed. Highly recommend 💜 (photo from the local fourth grade class poetry project cuteness)

Vegan breakfast sandwiches and burritos! And so many different lattes with oat milk, cookies looked really good too, plant based chocolates, and more!

We were walking the shops and stopped in for a coffee. Great brews and they stamp the togo cups with the crow as you order the coffee. It is a small shop but worth the wait if there is a line.

It's always a shame when a local favorite recommended to you ends up falling flat. It's a shame because I don't believe that my experience is indicative of the business as a whole, however, after waiting for 20+ minutes for just a coffee, I left extremely disappointed. Maybe the barista just forgot to flavor my Bourbon Black Pepper Latte, which my partner and I concluded was just a plain latte with maybe a hint of vanilla. My partners rosemary caramel latte was fine, no complaints there, but as much as I want to give them another chance, I also don't want to wait in line that long for a coffee.

Walk in and grab coffee joint. It's not a sit down spot, but our coffee's were great! I don't think breakfast sandwiches for 4 people are what they are used to, so maybe not the best place for grabbing breakfast with the family. However, the breakfast sandwiches were pretty good if you need a bite. My favorite part of this place was every dang person knew "John" and he knew all their orders. It was super cute to see the regulars interact with their barista. Think Northern Exposure meets Cheers but a coffee shop. Thumbs up guys!

This place is AWESOME! The only highlight really food/drink wise out of entire weekend vacation. Friendly service and great coffee! Tons of different flavors too, and specialities for fall. Would definitely come back if we ever visit Friday harbor again!

I have been to Friday Harbor 3 times, and every time I definitely come to this place.Must visit coffee place.3 stars because last time I was there, the barista was not very professional. She handled shoes and made food and coffee without washing hands, plus her coffee was not as good as the original baristaTip, go there only if the main barista is there(sorry don’t know his name)

Great coffee/espresso. Their homemade syrups from locally grown sources are phenomenal.
