11 Best Coffee Shops in Port Townsend

“If you believe a great cup of coffee can set the tone for the entire day, Better Living Through Coffee is worth a stop.

The coffee was excellent - smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. The shop has a welcoming, laid-back vibe that makes you want to slow down, sip your drink, and stay awhile. The staff were friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do, which made the experience even better.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee before exploring Port Townsend or looking for a cozy place to relax, this is the kind of local coffee shop that’s easy to come back to. Great coffee, great people, and a place that lives up to its name.“

“Be forewarned: if you order iced coffee, they’ll put it in a hot coffee cup. When you walk around town condensation will form on the cup and it will begin to disintegrate. If you bring the situation to their attention they’ll just tell you to drink faster. Other than that, it was an excellent place; fast service; great location.“

“We love Cafe Tenby! Delicious food, perfect tea, yummy pastries! So cozy. And excellent service.“

“Salt-of-the-earth establishment making solid beverage for busy folks. Parking is limited and coffee is in demand, so you might need to park across the street. Being right by the shipyard, this cafe offers insights into the working life of PT.“

“I’m a regular at Conduit and Jesse and Tara’s team have always been kind, creative, and professional. I’ve been here for coffee, art nights, and just to sit with the community conversations. The staff remember my order and my dog’s name.

The recent 1-star reviews are from people who have never set foot here. They are completely fabricated, defamatory, and do not reflect the reality of this cafe or the character of the people who run it.

If you’re local, come see for yourself. Bagel sandwiches and cream cheese is ONLY Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Wednesdays they have local artisan cupcakes, and Thursday they feature handpies by Crust bakery :) Grab some excellent small batch roasted coffee or a signature “Seaglass Matcha,” support a small biz, and leave your own honest review if you can. We love our friends and family in PT, WA. ❤ ☕ 🎨 🌞“

“The Nest is such a great space for kids. It's been so good for my youngest (12) as it's safe and so welcoming. To have a place I feel comfortable sending him off to on his own is a godsend. It allows for independence but also it's a little community of new friends. 😍“

“Wow! TBH I went here because they were open early but was pleasantly surprised by their service and coffee. The barista was intelligent and intuitive (didn’t need to ask, she just put a stopper on the coffee that wasn’t mine) and could clearly see I was in need of caffeine and didn’t mess around. They have peanut butter syrup (one of my faves) and white coffee. Great start to my day!“

“You have to stop in and say hi to Mr. Ed- such an expansive knowledge of the industry, but you’ll stand there longer than you plan to for great conversation and Belly laughs. This is the kind of experience a pot shop should aim for. Excellent selection and connection.“

“Drinks were good.

Kid-friendliness: I have always gone to Starbucks as long as I can remember. It has always been very welcoming. Just don't let the little ones get to out of hand because sometimes people are trying to get work done.“

“The coffee is always perfect and the service is always great. Friendly staff .“

“We love this place! Michael, Logan, Cassie, Cassiandra, Jessica are awesome!! The service is great, the views are just as good. Loved the Black Rock Fish Tacos, Chicken Enchiladas Rojas, Carne Asada Quesadilla, Pork Al Pastor. The mimosas were the cherry on top. Mexican food + mimosas + Port Townsend Bay views = the best time. Try it out!!“
