27 Best Cafes near Poulsbo

“My friend and I are here most Tuesday mornings for breakfast and are always satisfied/ even more we can't wait until the following Tuesday morning. Britt operates a well-run cafe with her friendly staff.“

“Ohhh this one deserves a slow clap. 👏

Sweets & Savories in Poulsbo understood the assignment.

I stopped in and ordered the creamy beet and apple soup and listen, this is not a “beets are controversial” situation. This is silky, slightly sweet, perfectly balanced, soul-warming goodness. Earthy without tasting like you’re hugging a root cellar. The apple brightens it up just enough, and the creaminess ties it all together like a cozy scarf you didn’t know you needed. Add the fresh bread and butter on the side and suddenly I’m rethinking all my life choices that didn’t involve this soup sooner.

And then there was my favorite companion: a matcha oat milk latte with orange zest. Clean, smooth matcha flavor, creamy oat milk, and that little citrus pop from the orange zest? Chef’s kiss. It’s the kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and stare thoughtfully out a window like you’re in an indie film set in the Pacific Northwest. ☕🍊

Everything about this meal felt intentional, comforting, and quietly elevated. No fuss. Just really good food made with care. If you’re in Poulsbo and want something that feels nourishing and indulgent without being heavy: this is your spot.

I’ll be back. Repeatedly. Probably in the same outfit.“

“Great team very welcoming came out and brought us all of our drinks so we could enjoy the waterfront!“

“I go to Chocmo often to meet with friends and enjoy catching up over yummy drinks and food. The atmosphere is so inviting, has plenty of space and comfy seating for long chats. What I appreciate the most is the later hours of being open until 7:00, most if not all other coffee shops in Poulsbo close by 5:00. Thank you Chocmo!“

“A hidden gem! Some of the best baked goods in Poulsbo and an innovative menu with consistent favorites and rotating soups and specials.“

“I am way on the other side of the US, and I completely recommend the coffee and just the experience you get from the entire staff of Caffe Cocina! Jenne is one of the best people to ever know. this is the 2nd time of ordering coffee for shipment, and I would 10000% be doing it again! thanks again Eric and the ENTIRE crew 🫶🏻🫶🏻 DRINK UP, YOU'RE HOME NOW“

“Great food and a great cause❤️❤️❤️“

“I stopped in here for my first time after spending 2 fun days in Poulsbo and BB Island. The owner and I started chatting and wow, she is such a sweet caring person! We talked about my mom who has dementia, my special ed teaching career and more... she is so friendly and truly made me feel welcome. The mocha was delicious, I will definitely be back here next time I'm in the area.“

“We have adopted two wonderful "Ziggy kitties". One we adopted almost three years ago and our newest to our family we adopted nearly three months ago. It has always been an amazing experience for us. We sent our granddaughter just to enjoy the kitties. We recommend Ziggy's as a great place for adopt.“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Sugar Studios Cafe in Silverdale! This place is such a hidden gem—cozy vibes, friendly service, and a seriously impressive menu. I tried the strawberry Nutella crepe, and wow… it was pure bliss. The crepe was perfectly thin and warm, loaded with fresh, juicy strawberries and just the right amount of rich, melty Nutella. Every bite was like dessert heaven.\n\nWhat makes Sugar Studios even more special is how they showcase local talent. The walls are lined with incredible artwork from local artists, giving the whole space a creative, inspiring energy. It feels like you’re enjoying gourmet sweets inside a mini art gallery. Definitely a must-visit spot in Silverdale—come for the crepes, stay for the atmosphere!“

“Excellent coffee and service! Give them a try“

“Great service. One gal running around, but she was very efficient and friendly. Spacious place. Lots of seating and patio tables, too. My sandwich was really good. Prices are slightly high but seem reasonable compared to most of the places in the area.“

“We came in for a hot mocha and it was perfect. We are used to Starbuck coffee and we agreed that this order was very good. The service was great after a short wait as they only had one register open. The lady who took my order was friendly professional and gave me information on their rewards program. It is nice to have this place at the Kitsap Mall.“

“I wouldn’t recommend a special trip to Port Gamble, but there are a few things to spend a few hours or half a day doing. Most of the shops are overpriced yawners, but the general store is very different. It has a cafe, coffee shop, and general shopping. Don’t sleep on the second floor seashell museum.“

“Yes to the hotel. It was nice, comfy and the staff were super friendly. The food on the other hand, not good at all. We ate at the pizza place, and the Dragon eighty eight. Both were less then average. I got the surf and turf at the Dragon, never have I received a steak cut into an even chunks. And the plate was dripping in sauce, it almost felt like I was eating canned dog food. If they amped up the food here, it would be so much better! We did enjoy ourselves but did feel like all the food we ate, was just not good :/“

“Blackbird Bakery is known for their high-quality baked goods and beautiful cakes. Their Bainbridge Island location makes them a perfect fit for weddings in the area—and the taste speaks for itself!“

“I often stop by The Marketplace during my work lunch breaks or on a Saturday afternoon, and it’s always a treat. Their chicken pita dish is delicious, and the side of baklava makes for the perfect sweet finish. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and inviting — a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a meal or a bottle of wine. I highly recommend spending some time in this delightful establishment. A special thank you to Nikos and Alexis for their outstanding hospitality!“

“I love all the pastries, the soups are the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for us. Thank you to the chef for creating the BEST soups.“

“Good service and large booths and many tables. Food was 3 to 4 stars - about what you’d expect at a hotel breakfast/lunch cafe. The best plate we had was the Eggs Benedict. Good hollandaise, perfectly cooked eggs, light and delicious ham and tasty hash browns. The Chicken Fried Steak was “pretty good” but not great. We prefer it made from ground or pounded beef and this was a breaded sirloin. Large, but a touch firm and just not as delicious as what we usually get in Portland diners. The eggs and hash browns were cooked perfectly and it was probably enough food for two folks to share.

Our son got the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were lovely: fluffy and large. Definitely homemade. The gravy was more buttery than creamy and hardly any sausage in it. I’m kinda on the fence about recommending it and my son said he wished he got pancakes instead.

Prices weren’t too bad. I would eat here again if I come back to the great Clearwater Resort.

Vegetarian options: There were several vegetarian options especially if you like omelettes, salads or pancakes.

Parking: Lots of parking spots in garage or lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and casual dining

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space and large entrance.“

“Amazing service and delicious sandwiches!!! Highly recommend!“

“Holy smokes! Marcy just made us the BEST cappuccinos this morning. We didn’t even make it to the ferry before they were gone👌🏻🖤☕️“

“We had Smokin Robinsons at my wedding and the DELIVERED. Everyone absolutely loved the cornbread - it was still FANTASTIC two days later (we had way too much food lol), the brisket was falling apart as we picked it up to put on our plates, the mac and cheese was EXACTLY what I needed, and the baked beans disappeared so fast. I’ve always loved this restaurant and knew I wanted their amazing food at my wedding and they did NOT disappoint. Thank you for helping to make my day even better.“

“I am a recently hired employee at the BIMA bistro. I absolutely love working there, the staff is very kind and helpful, the food is great, and it’s a cleanly restaurant. The bistro seems to be improving every day, and my parents love eating there.“

“The perfect tiny cafe enjoyed by neighbors and visitors alike.“

“A cute little coffee shop off the main strip. Pegasus is clearly a local favorite by how busy it was midday on a Thursday!

I could see them getting so busy the line would snake out the door, so we were lucky to sneak in before the crowd and order one of their specialty drinks, a cardamom latte!

The drink tasted authentic, not using artificial syrups or sugar. We would have loved to stay and enjoy the cozy ambiance, but we had more of the island to explore.“

“Been to this Panera a few times for lunch with friends. Always a good option for soups, salads, sandwiches and baked goods. There isnt always a person at the counter so ordering at the kiosks or on your phone via the Panera app is suggested.“
