Showed up 2 different days about an hour before close with decent sized parties. Service and food were both amazing. Would recommend this place to anybody. Breakfast burrito is a must-try.

Quaint little cafe. Breakfast was decent. Our food was average. Theu have a shelf full of different hot sauces to suit every taste. The host was very nice and attentive. We got there before the rush. It is small and filled up quickly.

Notice that the server had a Cybermen t-shirt and my geek radar knew I was at the right place! Delicious breakfast!

I can’t recommend this place because the food just wasn’t good. I had the Swiss mushroom scramble and my husband had the chorizo scramble. We both didn’t like our dishes. They don’t season things. I had to put a ton of salt on my food to make it edible. Still it wasn’t good. The hash browns were not much to talk about. I couldn’t even eat my sourdough toast. It had a strange taste. It might be a good place if you have salt restrictions. Service was great though.

Was really impressed by this place! We were craving a more hearty diner style breakfast and they for sure delivered!

The breakfast burrito was HUGE and very delicious. Packed with all kinds of toppings you can customize. Loved the little hot sauce rack they had with a bunch of varieties of sauces. The omelet was also perfectly cooked and tasty. Service was excellent. Great little breakfast spot on orcas island

Very nice wait staff. If you’re from a city and used to more seasoning than small town restaurants this is probably one of the better places to go as they accommodate some customization and have plenty of hot sauces.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp leading into restaurant. Just be careful of the door's base. It's a bit elevated.

Our family unfortunately did not have a pleasant experience here last weekend. From the moment we walked into this restaurant, we were unwelcome. We admittedly had a large party of 10 that came in but it was 11 am and google said they closed at 1 pm so we thought we’d have plenty of time to grab brunch before exploring town.
They seemed very skeptical about making space for us though we tried to be accommodating. They said they could only fit us by sitting us at separate tables which we said was fine. When we asked if we could sit out on the patio they said you can only do takeout outside so we said that was fine and asked for a menu but it was severely reduced to just a few items so we asked to be split up inside like originally planned. They said they would try to get us as close together as possible but ended up on far ends of the restaurant.
When we finally got to order, they were out of many things such as chocolate chips & peanut butter… They also didn’t have eggs benedict available to which the waiter kept telling us we “should’ve come earlier bc we ran out of hollandaise at 9:30 am”. Every time somebody tried to order something that was unavailable, we kept being reminded that we should’ve come earlier…
When we got our food, much of it was overcooked and dry- the french toast, eggs, etc. They also never came by after the food was delivered to refill our waters.
When it was time to check out, our party was split into tables of 4 & 6 but they would only divide the bill in half leaving us with a difficult time parsing out who owed what as they also didn’t itemize the receipt?
Finally, some family members tried to use the restroom before leaving and the only option at the sink was water that was so scalding hot it hurt to wash their hands. We left the restaurant about 12:30 pm and people were already getting turned away because they apparently stop serving at 12 though their hours state 1 pm… overall this was a very poor restaurant experience for our extended family while visiting the island.
The only positive things I have to say are that the hot sauce shelf was a cool touch and there was one server who treated us with kindness- I can’t remember his name but he was a young guy with longer hair.
This restaurant has many excellent reviews online which made us excited to try it but unfortunately it did not live up to expectations for us. I would not recommend coming to this place later in the morning nor would I recommend this place for large parties.

Didn’t eat here and never will. In all my life I’ve never experience such a disgusting customer service attitude. This was the phone convo:
Me: Hello! I was wondering if you guys can seat six people?
Employee: uhh…are you asking in general? Like do we have enough tables to accommodate 6 people? Obviously yes.
Me: uh…
Employee: (dripping with sarcasm) I PRESUME you’re asking if we can seat 6 NOW
Me: yes
Employee: obviously not. There’s a wait all day every day here, it's the Island Skillet (as if it’s The French Laundry)
