“Stopped in today in need of something warm. Michelle suggested soup which was perfect. And she graciously listened to my troubling morning event. Thanks again Michelle! The cyclist that stopped in 12/12 Jan”
“I absolutely LOVE it here! I come here just about every weekend. The ambience is relaxing and comfortable, the coffee is delicious, and the staff are consistently friendly and fun.”
“Funky little Cafe with lots of personality. Felt like a real effort to engage with customers and overheard lots of local being greeted like family. We had great french toast.”
“The place is excellent I love their coffee my son likes their red bull of course but to sum it up its great i like it good customer service can't ask for more .”
“Geat dining experience! The meal was simple, flavorful and large portions. Ordered grilled chicken, beans and rice with avacado. All of the staff is friendly and super helpful.”
“We were looking for a place to relax and unwind after a day of travel and were so glad we found Sips! The place was cute and comfortable inside and had outside seating on the water, complete with blankets for the evening chill. There was a nice selection of wine and small plates (we had the hummus plate which was excellent), our server was quick and friendly, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and plan on going back the next time we are in the area. And a special shout-out to the owner and staff for helping reconnect us with a lost item after hours - wonderful people at a wonderful place!”
“Such a lovely find, and so many scones were sold out when we arrived so we knew it was going to be good! Tried the tart lemon scone and the banana chocolate chip scone and they were easily some of the best scones we’ve eaten. Perfectly sweet, moist, and chewy. Will definitely come back!”
“This restaurant has been around a long time, and it does show in the tablecloths, chairs, and layout, but the food is fresh and ingredients and flavors are lovely. Everything from the seafood to the tofu and veggies had great flavor and texture. The curries have a wonderful, even flavor. Even the Crab Rangoon were obviously made from scratch. Good, quality Thai food.”
“Hands down best coffee in the PNW. They're all great baristas but if you luck up and get a coffee made by Amelia then you're in for a really special treat! I love this place, it's my favorite coffee stand in Washington. 10/10 recommend this place!”
“Impressed at the quality of service & food during peak rush hour on a Friday night. Salmon burger was incredible! The fries were perfectly crispy & golden. Fun atmosphere with Billiard's, bar and table seating.”
“I really enjoyed my experience here. I went here hoping to get fresh oysters, cooked and not. I mean, it is part of the restaurant name. I went in and was surprised by the lack of staff. I did end up finding out while I was there that there was only one server that night for the entire restaurant. No bartender or host, and the other server for the evening had called out. This guy was hustling and doing a great job! He was definitely at a capacity for what he could personally handle at times and that's okay! It was just one dude. I did hear him at one point mention to new patrons that the restaurant was at capacity and he suggested a similarly priced restaurant a block away. I've been there too, and it was a totally reasonable suggestion. I would much rather have a server that is doing what he can handle than having too many tables and having to rush everyone. I had heard about this restaurant originally from a different business while shopping there. Their suggestion was the caesar salad and the French onion soup. I decided to try both of those and a couple more items. I ordered the salad, soup, 1/2 a dozen shucked oysters, and bread first. My salad and oysters were served first which makes sense as they are both cold. Not sure how often the bread gets ordered as it is a $6 item. They make the Caesar dressing in house. The greens were nice and fresh. It was served with an anchovy filet. I prefer my dressing with a bit more anchovy flavor, but most people probably don't. The oysters were served on a bed of ice with an frozen/iccee style (yeah that drink from childhood) mignonette. I've never had mignonette served that way and I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of the oysters was top notch. I was served the soup as a second course. I hoped to receive the bread with the soup, and that did not happen. The kitchen bakes the bread and it seems as though they weren't expecting as many customers that night. I was told I would not be receiving any bread. The soup is fantastic and anyone ordering it will enjoy it. I heard. A discussion about the preparation being a three day process. I've had French onion before which has a bit more of a beefy flavor which I prefer. Would order again. I asked whether I could order something else and asked about the pan fried oysters versus the pan fried oysters with house made fettuccine. I went with the appetizer as I just wasn't feeling the pasta. Probably next time! I was told a couple of minutes later that the kitchen was closed and I would not be receiving the oysters. I went ahead and ordered the chocolate lava cake for dessert. Surprisingly I did receive the oysters and the bread. Boy am I happy that I did! First, it got me to the point of feeling full. Second oysters were the reason why I was there. The oysters were lightly battered and pan fried. Those were the best pan fried oysters I have had in years. Crispy, light, super juicy inside. The batter and fry were perfect. The bread was a very high quality bread. Chocolate lava cake for dessert. They were out of the bread pudding which was my first choice. It's chocolate lava cake. I've had it a lot before. Not the best, not the worst. The cookie served as an accent on the desert was honestly the best part of the dessert. I would have preferred some dessert made with the cookie. Even an ice cream sandwich with the cookies, ice cream, and a fruit topping would have been a nice change from the usual chocolate lava cake. As a chocolate lover I wasn't inspired by the dessert. The restaurant itself is pleasant. Comfortable, wood accents, and relaxed. One star off for a couple of reasons. The server asked me if he could help me with anything after I seated myself at the small four seat bar. I'm obviously here for dinner, just give me a menu. The confusion about whether or not I would be receiving the items that I ordered. I'm really glad that I did receive those items! Best part of the meal. I don't think they normally have anyone sit at the bar. I was by myself and I didn'”
“I went to this restaurant by myself on a trip to La Conner. As I was by myself I decided to sit at the bar. Didn't want to take up a table. I honestly prefer sitting at the bar anyway. This bar was small and the bartender was quite busy with drinks. I'm a little unsure about the size of the bar. I don't remember at this point. I went here during brunch which is one of my least favorite times to dine out, but I was there and hungry. I can cook breakfast at home. I know how to make poached eggs and blender hollandaise. I was extremely happy to find a corned beef Ruben on the menu. It's been a while since I visited so excuse some details. I prefer pastrami Reuben's, but you can't go wrong with corned in-house beef. The sandwich was a little greasy. It's what you expect from this dish. Greasy, a little messy, delicious corned beef. Great level of sauerkraut and not too much thousands on the sandwich. I think the fries are made in house. I remember either way they were very high quality. Comfortable, clean, and modern. I was surprised by the lack of interaction the bartender had with me. I used to be a bartender. Part of your job as a bartender is to entertain your customer. I had a mocktail and it was great. So she was good at making drinks. Then she started cleaning bottles. I'm sitting at the bar by myself as a single woman. You're a woman too. Talk to me a bit. Part of your job as a bartender is to be social. Not sure if that is a restaurant policy or not. ABC possibly - always be cleaning. That's why I usually go to restaurants for happy hour. I was happy to see this place serving dishes besides breakfast during the happy hour time period. The Reuben was delicious!”
“Fish & Chips is a winner. Their dill seasoning is fantastic and their tartar sauce is absolutely perfect. It has a great view of the water, you can sit outside and enjoy a sunny day on the pier. I LOVE La Conner and this place is one of the reasons why.”
“Wife and I have eaten here several times when in the area. This is a must for us and this time we were able to have dinner. Food is creative and yummy but cocktails are awesome. I have seen some negative reviews, but undeserved.”
“I always try to stop in for the great pizza when I'm in La Conner. Great beers as well. Today, I tried the wings for the 1st time. They were so good! I'll stop now just for the wings.”
“The Seared Scallops Appetizer are the best scallops I've had anywhere - juicy and tender! The Tomato Bisque was also excellent and the service was fast and friendly.”
“What a delicious meal! Erica was just a wonderful person and so helpful. 15 min til close and we were able to call in dinner to go. Let me say, even packaged to go, travel time.... those burgers & fries we're phenomenal!!! The blackberry jam & garlic aoli were delicious on the Elk burger. I had the Wagu sliders.... unreal!!!! We chose onion rings and sweet potato waffle fries.... I was dipping the waffle fries in the garlic aoli... it's just that good!!! We're definitely going back tomorrow before we leave LaConner.... but it will not be our last time here. Thank you for a magnificent dinner!!!”
“It was very busy and quite crowded when I ate lunch here, ven though it was well past the noon hour. The waitresses were obviously stressed. I suspect the service would be better at other timesThe food was good.Vegetarian options: There is a nice selection of vegetarian options. You need to look for them throughout the menuParking: Good luck finding a parking spot. Be prepared to walk a good distance. There is a handicapped loading and unloading zone if one of your party is mobility impaired”
“Double serving waffle Cone as big as your head! Well almost, a double is four full sized scoops on a large waffle cone of the creamiest, flavorful ice cream served by friendly people with indoor and outdoor seating on premises.”
“This place was great! Amazing vegan burgers with incredible vegan blue cheese, really fun place to stop by. Was a really convenient lunch after getting off the ferry from Orcas. The smoothies were great too! Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic experience. Took my family there while charging the car and best decision I have made so far this year. The hot dogs were great and the service was even better.”
“This place is adorable and the service is amazing. Portions are large and the food is all very high-quality. We almost passed it by because we thought it was just a coffee shop but ended up staying for lunch and are happy we did!”
“I love the food here. So much so they catered my reception rehearsal dinner at my wedding. Cannot go wrong with any sandwiches on the menu. Unfortunately lots of other people know this and the line sometimes is out the door, but they work fast and usually you get service in a half hour.”
“The owner is very nice, personable, and good at what he does! The coffee and treats were delicious. The owner showed the kids turkish-version yo-yo, they were entertained for awhile.”
“The food was delicious. Took us an hour to get our lunch though. Also pretty pricey.Vegetarian options: Their sweet potato burrito with eggs and black beans is delicious.”
“Every time we stay in Anacortes, we make it a point to stop at this restaurant. Some of THE best Thai food I've ever had, great service, and a great atmosphere!”
“The best tacos in Anacortes, without a doubt. The best tacos in Anacortes. And I recommend trying the best quesabirrias in Skagit County. and I recommend trying the best quesabirrias in Skagit County.”
“We just purchased several bags of cookies, Almond biscotti, and a loaf of Raisin Walnut bread. All items were great but we thought the Ginger Molasses Spice cookies were the best we ever had and we buy cookies from several great bakeries in Western Wa. The Ginger Molasses Spice should be entered in a Taste test. The pieces of crystalized ginger really stands out. Fantastic Bakery!!!! Thank you!!!!”
“Best prices around for oysters and steamer clams. The restaurant next door serves oysters and Mexican food. Try the garlic butter baked oysters and the baked oysters with cheese!”

“Traveling around the area we decided to get some lunch. Looking for Mexican food my sister took us here. Food was fantastic. Ser ice was great. We will definitely come back again when in the area. Try it, we think you will enjoy it as well.”
