First, I want places like this to succeed, I really do. Local bakeries and coffee shops are some of…read moremy favorite places but I can't give very high marks to Amaya's. I've been here several times and each time I left thinking it would be my last. My intention is not to dump on a small business so I'll do my best to offer a sincere critique. Ambiance: No music, mostly empty shelves, sparse selection of baked goods, feels a bit empty--like they're going out of business. Any one of these could be overlooked but combined they make for a poor experience. Food/drink: Coffee is on par with what's around here. You won't find specialty roasts or fancy techniques, but it's good. If you're looking for fancy-pants coffee you'll have to head to Pelican Bay bookstore in Anacortes. The baked goods I've tried are, unfortunately, underwhelming. I typically go for their gluten free options and have found them to have textures that are too grainy with flavors on the bland side. The cookies are fine, the gluten free scones are quite bad--flavorless, super dense and hard, not crumbly, kinda sticky. This was the only baked good I've ever tossed. I have yet to try their pies or cakes. Their regular cookies are pretty good but are a bit pricey for the size. Staff: The staff seem a little awkward and shy. I prefer a friendly customer experience. I've only had one visit here where the staff made an attempt at small talk. Usually they stay out of sight. Someone else might like this, it's just not for me. Final thoughts: I'm giving Amaya's 3 stars not because I think they've necessarily earned them, but bc I want them to succeed and I've only been here 4 or 5 times so I don't have a robust experience sample. I hope they do well and would still encourage a visit. We need more small businesses. I would, however, discourage the gluten free scones. Avoid them at all costs

Just happened upon this bakery tucked away from the main thoroughfare of Pioneer Way. What a good…read morefind! My husband tried their Jalapeño cheddar quiche with his soy latte and he was pleased. I had the kolache for the first time and I loved them for the bread softness. I asked to warm the sausage kolache in the oven and it tasted better. Then we shared the Marion berry kolache! Yummy!! Ellie (sp.?) served us nicely. The place has few tables to sit in and enjoy the goodies while we savor them and the peacefulness of the moment. I am always drawn to the aroma of the freshly baked bread and danish.

Our first time visiting from California and Texas, and we are so glad we stopped here! The food was…read moreabsolutely amazing. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The omelet was fluffy, the potatoes were delicious, and the portions were generous. It was one of those meals that had us talking about how good it was long after we finished. What made the experience even better was the incredible service. Our waiter, Stevie, was so sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests. We also want to give a special shoutout to Emily, who took the time to stop and chat with our daughter. Small gestures like that mean so much when you're traveling with little ones, and she made our family feel so welcomed. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be recommending this spot to family and friends and will be back the next time we're in town!

I came for ONE cookie. ONE. What I found was an absolute wall of bakery beautifulness that stopped me dead in my tracks. The line was out the door, not surprisingly but I needed every minute of that wait to make my decisions. Final verdict: a raspberry kiss mocha (dreamy), a lemondoodle cookie (excuse me, WHAT), and a molasses cookie that I'm still thinking about. To. Die. For. My husband went rogue and ordered a Lotus drink, which unfortunately arrived as approximately 90% soda water with the flavor just... vibing separately at the bottom. We tried. We stirred. We let it go. Stick to the baked goods, friends. The staff was warm and lovely even with a line out the door, which is its own kind of superpower. Calico Cupboard, I will be back. Ideally with a seat at an actual table someday. And maybe six cookies this time.
