“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.“

“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!“

“Four of us went on a Saturday evening and the food was exceptional. Amazing view and reasonable prices. The reservation fee was credited back to my account after our dinner.\n\nService is island chill which means it can take a little while. When we were first seated it took about 10 minutes for our server to get us water and take our drink orders. After that, service took a more normal pace.\n\nWe had the clams, crab cakes, and prosciutto wrapped jalapeños and all three were delicious with the crab cakes being the winner. Quite possibly the best we have ever had.\n\nThey were out of the wedge salad but were able to make a salad with the wedge ingredients which worked out fine. The bolognese was very good as were the fish tacos. I loved the Fat Tony pizza.\n\nWe were all too full to have dessert.\n\nWe will definitely go back.“

“This was my first time visiting Orcas Island, we decided to pop in here and try it out due to them having GF options! I was pleasantly surprised at their GF options. It was so good, we came back the next night and ate on the patio!“

“Ive had the honor of putting on two large corporate retreat/events (120+ people) at Doe Bay. Both the staff and ownership bent over backwards to see that we had everything we needed to pull off a successful event. My thanks go out to River, Joe and their crew!“
