Coffee Shops in Eastsound

“I came in for a sweet treat later in the afternoon. They had a good array of options which I appreciated. Both my items were delicious and had a cool flavor profile. Everyone was friendly when I was there. I'd like to come back and hang out longer, and get a drink.“

“Both my husband and I agree that this might be the best breakfast we have ever had. Definitely the best breakfast sandwich we have ever had. Loved the witches brew cider and the scones were out of this world. The lemon blueberry one was so moist and cakey and amazing - not the dry hard ones you normally get a breakfast spots. And the Olga rising sandwich with the jam was like heaven in a sandwich. We did ask for extra jam which was a great call on our second time there. I would come back to Orcas just for this sandwich alone.“

“Pro Life Tip: when you see a line coming out the front door of a business - GET IN LINE! I was in Eastshore (from Nebraska) to purchase some coffee roasters from a local seller. I had some time to kill before my ferry back to the mainland left, so was walking around the cool downtown of Eastshore. My attention was drawn to a line of humanity spilling out the front door of one business and out onto the sidewalk. A quick Google told me it was a bakery and so I did the most sensible thing and JOINED THE LINE. When I got inside I was delighted to see Kouign Amann at the front of the pastry case. I had only recently learned of this demanding, difficult to make pastry and it was ALL I WANTED. A short wait later one was in my bag/Crumb Catcher! Here it is a week and a half later and i’m STILL THINKING ABOUT IT and writing this review. It was a-MAY-zing and I have little doubt that ANYTHING you choose will be just as memorable. These guys could probably FRANCHISE their knowledge & processes in places like Aspen, Park City, Jackson Hole, etc. - but then again, maybe not. Maybe you need the passion of two classically trained pastry chefs, in their own little wonderful corner of the world (Orcas Island, WA). In any event, if you find yourself on the island, you MUST make Brown Bear Bakery a stop. You will NOT regret it. How ANYONE could give this place ANYTHING less than 5 FULL STARS boggles the imagination.“
