This little cafe is so cute cozy inside and outside! It is in a great location by the water and ferry. I walked around here with my dog and stopped by to get a light lunch. I sat outside under the sun with my dog, and there was another dog nearby as well! I see people here often just simply getting coffee or doing their work. I had a wholesome soup and sandwich with some chips. Everything tasted really authentic and gave homemade vibes. The staff was so kind and friendly, which completed our experience! I'd love to return again and looking forward to more visits especially during the summertime!

This is a cozy spot I go to when I needed to change the vibe. I do work partially online/from home, but it gets "old" sometimes, and Red Cup is usually my first choice when I'm needing to get out of the house. The space is cozy and homey, and the coffee is just great I also found that their food options include a half sandwich and a small bag of chips, which is perfect for a mid-day meal as I was working and didn't need the food coma. Parking can be tricky since the spots in the alley right next to it gets filled up rather quickly and can be a bit tight if you drive a bigger vehicle, but street parking is also available, I believe, in the surrounding area. I usually get there fairly early so it wasn't usually a problem. It can get pretty crowded around mid day too, but it seemed like a local crowd just needed a place to socialize. So if you're working on your computer, noise-cancelling headphones works wonderfully. And sometimes this also means the smaller tables weren't available when I arrived alone; but I always share my bigger table with others if more people started to come it. Yes, it's that kind of cozy place.

Stoped for lunch with a colleague first time in and this place is soooo cool!! Friendly staff, lots of seating indoors and out and how about that view of Puget Sound! Wow ?I had my usual coffee iced americano with coconut milk and tried a taco avocado wrap! Perfect for the warm and sunny afternoon ? I highly suggest you stop in great coffee and food!

We placed our order to go, while we waited we went next door to shop. They brought our coffee over to us. Very kind. We went back to get our food (breakfast bagels) and left. They mixed up my wife's order but she did not want to rake it back. She still ate it, and enjoyed her meal.

My three little kids and I came through this morning after we got off the ferry. We'd had a long weekend on Whidbey visiting a friend and had a long drive ahead of us. This place checked all the boxes for me. My vanilla latte was delicious and quite foamy, just the way I like it. Kids were quite happy with their muffin, cinnamon roll, and scone. Prices were pleasantly reasonable! Atmosphere was great. We sat at the communal table and others who were clearly regulars were friendly. The young man who was our cashier was refreshingly friendly and helpful. I could tell the people working there were happy to be there. Thank you for starting our morning off right :)

I grabbed lunch to go from here today. I did the Greek wrap and a burrito bowl for a friend. Delicious food and friendly people. Place was busy but it was really good!

I tried the coffee again. Coffee (mocha) is still not served hot just above warm. They have a nice food menu which I will return for. Cafe (inside) is small and noisy so if you're looking for quiet this isn't the place. Perhaps with better weather you can sit outside for more conversation. You can ask to sit with others for more of a community feel!

This place is cute and convenient.The problem is I can't support any coffee shop that charges $3.00 for a 12oz double shot Americano, but $3.60 for a 16oz double Americano. 4oz of hot water and a slightly bigger paper cup is maybe a $0.01 difference in cost of goods + labor.Perhaps it's petty, but it's also illogical, unethical, and unnecessary. Price gouging is price gouging. Without thinking, the cashier tried to explain/justify it by saying there's more water. As soon as she said it she realized the weakness of that argument and she added that it comes in a bigger cup... before landing on, 'I didn't set the price', which was finally the fair answer.I only said something so she would relay the valid concern to her higher-ups. But she didn't seem to want to take on my battle, which is also fair. So I'm commenting to let the management know, it's a flaw that will keep me from returning to the shop. It's a principle with me, kind of like always stopping to buy lemonade if a kid shows the initiative to set up a stand.Again, it's such a cute and comfortable place that it's a small shame you feel the need to squeeze $0.60 out of the grande Americano drinkers.
I loved it! I always pass by this place when going to work and stopped by for a latte. Although it’s a “basic” item I enjoyed sitting there and working on my laptop! It’s the perfect environment, the staff are very friendly too!

Beautiful place to go for a cup of coffee with delicious sandwiches, and the employees are super nice . The view to the beach is amazing. You can walk to the beach so close. You have to visit, it's a must go place.
