“Definitely worth a stop if you’re on Lopez. We didn’t have a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in at 4:30 and boy are we glad. The Hamachi sashimi was exquisite and all of the ramens we got (3 different kinds) were delightful. Such a wonderful meal for a chilly evening.”
“Super friendly and helpful staff - we felt very welcome visiting this cute coffee shop. I thoroughly enjoyed my snickerdoodle latte as we sat outside and enjoyed the Spring sun. A great menu with lots of choice - would recommend!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp and accessible parking”
“Always visit local coffee shops!Spent the day island hopping and gladly picked up a drink here while on Lopez. I was pleased to see they had an extensive menu of coffee & related beverages, as well as specialty shop related items like handcrafted mugs. It all worked together to give this little shop a cozy feel on an overcast fall day.Staff was friendly, parking was easy, drinks were cheap, and I’d totally come back.We really appreciated getting to sit and chill for a few minutes, too. Overall, great local coffee and shop!”
“It's different. It's delicious. It's food with personality. For a remote island, we should consider ourselves pretty lucky that this is a part of it. My finicky tween wanted no part of it and then he tried it and now he craves it.”
“Excellent service for the instant rush of customers. We walked in #3 and within minutes the line was out door. Moved fast! Good espresso, big brownies fresh, no stale pastries on a late morning Friday. Parking is a bit tight (not Holly B's issue), lots of outdoor seating and bicycle parking.”
“I'm already looking forward to returning to try more menu items. The peanut pepper wrap was vegan without any modifications, and they let me leave out certain veggies on request. It was ginormous, delicious and seemed relatively healthy. Can be made gluten free if ordered as a salad, per the staff. The staff was very friendly and the outdoor seating was beautiful, with a large lawn, lots of trees, and a distant ocean view. Nice lunch spot with my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Such a lovely experience each time. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Staff are top notch. The seasonal menu highlights ingredients is a creative a beautiful way. A destination in itself. We cannot wait until the next time~”
“I can’t even begin to explain how amazing the products are. It is abundantly clear the people that bake the goods infuse them with love, and their good karmic deeds go into every detail. It was healing to my soul to eat their unique offerings. Thank you to the owners who understand the spirituality of their work. Anyone that is interested, please don’t pass up this gem of a bakery on the island. And please support local! ❤️”
“Very friendly staff and lots of delicious fudge options, we got the raspberry chocolate fudge and it was great! Definitely stop in when you're on the island!”
“Amazing food! Went when they had a special and I enjoyed every last bit. So worth the drive! Very excited to go back and taste more of the menu. Service was great with very friendly staff, in a comfy and calm environment.”
“My husband and I stayed the night on Lopez Island and decided to eat dinner at Haven Kitchen&Bar. We loved everything about the experience. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Had a lovely talk with the owner, thoroughly impressed with the way they run their restaurant. When visiting Lopez Island, give this place a visit. It will not disappoint.”
“Cute, and homey restaurant. Great ocean views no matter where you're sitting (we were also sat next to the fireplace, which was awesome on a cold, overcast day ). Service was good. I had the fish tacos, which were good. The pico de gallo was a little lacking, but not terrible.”
“Hands down BEST BBQ EVER! Had the Brisket platter with Cornbread and Mac. To top it off, what a great atmosphere! The weather was great had bbq in the sun! ☀️ in my opinion it’s MY BEST FOOD EXPERIENCE ON ORCAS!”
“The cafe across the street recommended me this place and told us that they had really good low priced food and they were right, 7 dollars for a sandwich is a great price. The service was also amazing the guy working there was funny and nice. Thank you I’ll be coming back.”
“Great bakery, just wished they were opened more. I guess their success has allowed them to be “independent.” Or like their fabulous bake goods, “very French,” if you know what I mean…….”
“Really solid sandwiches, and great fresh baked cookies (for real, the warm chocolate chip cookies changed my life, don't tell my cardiologist). The roast beef sandwich was great, but the warm turkey sandwich stole the show. The bread was delicious. I think I'll go back for lunch today.”
“This restaurant was such a great option. The food was simply amazing, as was the service. We tried an assortment of items, including the oysters (duh), the lingcod and dungeness crap dip (get extra hungarian peppers), the waffles, the lamb (outstanding) and pork chop. I also had the "Smokeless Cigar" beverage, which was also excellent. A tryly enjoyable dining experience here on the Island.”
“There is just 1 slight downfall I can think of and it was that the food took a little while to come out and the appetizer came at the same time as the main course. I imagine that's b/c it is a small establishment, maybe only 1 cook which leaves me with a but...and a big BUT...everything else was absolutely incredible! Probably the best cocktails I've had, as they certainly do NOT skimp on the alcohol and the food was very tasty! This is my new go-to place. I was VERY pleased! Thank you for reading and thanks to the owners of "The Top of the Town ".”
“Stopped in for ice cream after dinner while waiting for our ferry. I had the blackberry - it was so creamy and had a very fresh blackberry flavor. I would get it again in a heartbeat.Also bought the huckleberry gummy bears and huckleberry tea bags. Haven't tried the tea yet. But the gummy bears are... ok... kinda good and kinda weird. The initial flavor is very perfumey, tastes a little like soap. But as you chew the flavor softens to more of the berry flavor. Not sure they are worth the $9 we paid for the bag.”
“This pizza was amazing. The lovely person who served us tonight understood the boyfriends allergy and made ordering fast and efficient. We got the pear and prosciutto pizza with pesto instead of red sauce and yummy!”
“Thai chicken pizza, French dip, ranch chicken wrap, dumplings, fried green beans & kids meals~ thank you!Kid-friendliness: Pizza, chicken tenders, chocolate milk!”
“We saw the pictures of the food and chose this restaurant and i’m glad we chose Tina’s for breakfast, and that will be our go to at SJ. Kid friendly, great food, and service. Would highly recommend.”
“When you're confronted with 16 dollar salads, 13 dollar appetizers, 10 dollar drinks... Go here and get a sandwich unequalled in the nearest 100 miles, for (currently) 13 bucks. Support a business that hires good people. Buy a sandwich better than you can get in most places in Portland or Seattle.My order, a Corned beef, ez sourkraut, 1000island, jalapenos, havarti on rye. Perfectly soggy, lots of meat, perfect spice.Why do I eat anywhere else when I visit?Kid-friendliness: They have kids meals for cheap.”
“I came to Friday Harbor for a couple days this past summer and I will say, Riptide Cafe has to be one of the best spots in the town. I got breakfast here every morning and it was 10/10 every time. Lines tend to be a little long in the mornings but for me it was not a huge issue as my food came out relatively quickly. They have incredible smoothies and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Not a ton of seating inside but plenty outside with a gorgeous view of the docks right there! Overall I think this place is a wonderful spot, if you come to Friday Harbor make sure to give this place a visit.”
“Such a neat place to shop for wonderful island originals. And delicious home made pastries. Lots of friendly people and lots of dogs to pet!! A must do if you are on the island on a Saturday morning!”
“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.”
“Went in for a quick sip, left with my life changed and two chai babies on the way. Seriously would consider making love with this fire hot chai blend. Creamy, sweet, then spicy in all the right ways.”
“We had a perfect meal last Saturday- undoubtedly the best dinner out we have had on the island in the past year. Nuanced and subtle food in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. What a welcome addition to the island!”
“Everything we ate was delicious! The staff were also very kind and attentive. This restaurant is very clean and has a wide selection of wines. We were given fresh bread to start, with olive oil and vinegar already at the table. I would definitely come back for special occasions. I will say it doesn’t have much of a view of the water from inside, if that’s important to you.”
“Delicious burrito with generous portion sizes. We got the pork and beef with added guac and sour cream. No regrets! One of the tastiest burritos I've ever had.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking right by the Taco Van”
