“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.“

“Best Pizza this side of Venice, Italy! Who knew? Owners are really friendly also. Only downside to this place is it is not open enough!“

“Stumbled across the smell coming from this place at 6:30am before anything else was open. The food and coffee was great! I was impressed by the service, the food and the coffee. Thank you!“

“I thought the pulled pork was super good! And I’ll go back for the mac n cheese any time - yum! My husband is a fan of their brisket and he even he had enough to have left overs for breakfast too. Yikes Matthew! Next time we’ll branch out with other menu items, though it’ll be difficult to leave such good ones in the kitchen! My only problem is we don’t get to Orcas often enough to enjoy this tasty place!“

“My sister and I both ordered chai tea lattes. They were served in glass mugs and never cooled down. We drank very little since it was so hot, but what we did drink was a little watery. Disappointing. But what wasn’t disappointing was the breakfast wraps. These are huge and stuffed with flavor. We easily could have just shared one and still left full.“

“I love Medio, from the high quality food and drinks to the atmosphere. Their matcha is amazing and so are their other specialty drinks which are fun and delicious. Try the kimbap, chorizo burrito, or any of their baked goods, you won’t regret it. The cafe space is amazing for San Juan. There are very few places were you can hang out on island and these guys have it going on with the vibe they’re setting up, from the decorations to the variety of nooks. There’s a fantastic fireplace and some adorable options for kids. Really great spot. I recommend it to local friends and visitors.“
“This is absolute gem on the island. I’ve been to Orcas many times, but only got a chance to visit the winery twice. And every time it was a highlight of the trip.
The owner is the most wonderful host. And the property is very serene and beautiful. You can recline in a chair, have a sip of wine, and relax in a way that is hard to match.
Some reviews mentioned limited food options or other minor inconveniences. Relax, everyone! It’s important to be able to see and appreciate this place for what it is. You’re in for a treat.
Highly recommended and most definitely going to be back.“

“My favorite spot on Orcas. We joined a local crowd on Tuesday evening for a very fun trivia night. Staff is super friendly. Very kid friendly place to hang out for a brewery. Highlight for me was the Captain Simcoe IPA. All the beers were great.“

“Wonderful feel to the place. I'm 81, just moved on-Island. Wife asleep from COVID vaccine reaction. No food in the house (recently moved here). Had seen their ads about "best hamburger on Orcas" and -- at 8:45p -- decided, "Why not?" Great decision. Absolutely cooked medium rare. Wonderful waitress -- very easy-going. Likely to become a regular dinner place for us. Highly recommend.“

“This place is top notch! Local, farm to table Italian food. They have several starters that could be combined for a meal with no regrets. They make their own pasta, light as a feather, nice sized portions, still safe to also get a starter or two. Entree options are always spectacular and the wine and beer selection curated to suit your meal. In season on Wednesday nights they do smash burgers (local meat or house-made veg patty, both delish). Burgers are 3:30 pm until they run out, cooked in the outdoor wood oven. I’m told the pizzas will be back soon, too. These are not ordinary burgers and pizzas, they are art. Dessert? One could come here just for dessert. The brunch served on the weekends is so ridiculously good. Not to be missed. This is not fast food, it’s sit a spell and savor food. Choose a table in the garden on a warm, sunny day. Inside it is cozy, too, with a communal table in the back or private tables in the dining room. Recommend. 👍 ♥️“
