    BLT on sourdough with "potatoes"
    Lesley D.

    Great food and coffee plus an amazing atmosphere- count me in! You order at the counter and they bring it to your table makes this casual and fun cafe the perfect place! This place is a MUST for breakfast or brunch the next time you find yourself in south whidbey Island!

    Salted caramel and sea salt!

    What better place to have coffee than in the middle of the forest in the best place to get coffee and foods! Amazing savory breakfasts and lots of treats. They take pride in crafting coffee and food. One of my favorites is the pancakes that are so unique and tasty.

    We ordered a plain avocado toast for my 6-year-old because he has acid reflux. We specifically asked for plain fresh avocado on toast, but instead they served old, brown store-bought guacamole spread on a very thin slice of bread. When I asked if they could simply bring us plain toast instead, we waited another 20 minutes, and they brought what looked like a thin frozen slice of bread. The $19 avocado toast was very disappointing and not worth the price. My son's peanut butter and jelly sandwich also came on what tasted like frozen bread. To make matters worse, when we explained the issue, they didn't offer a refund or any effort to make it right. The service came across as dismissive and unwelcoming. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend spending $20 on a meal here.

    Warm and inviting while situated in the forest of Whidbey. Excellent coffee as well as delicious foods make this a super choice when looking to escape from the more 'busy' Langley.

    Nice staff with good food+coffee a little expensive but they accommodate when i order egg whites instead of regular eggs!

    Best pancakes ever!
    Adrianna D.

    This place just makes me happy. Coffee at Dawn is a cozy, woodsy haven with perfect coffee, amazing pastries, savory food, and the best pancakes I've ever had. Dawn and Julie have created something special. The warm cabin atmosphere and friendly staff make it a true Langley gem. I highly recommend.

    If I lived on Whidbey Island, I would come here every day. I got a vanilla latte, and it tasted like roasted marshmallows! I especially love the ambiance of this place. You would never expect it from the outside, but it feels like stepping through a portal into another world. The outdoor seating is lovely too, with little areas tucked away between the bushes. The person who rang me up must have been new because I was a little confused by the menu. It showed cheesy waffles (gluten free) and regular waffles. I asked if the gluten free ones were only the cheesy version, and she said no. I was happy since I didn't want cheesy waffles, so I ordered the gluten free ones. When they arrived, I added syrup and took a bite, only to be surprised by a strong cheddar flavor. I am not a fan of sharp cheese with sweet syrup, so it was disappointing and I threw it away. If I had known they were the cheesy kind, I would have skipped the syrup and enjoyed them as savory waffles instead. I mentioned it to another employee afterwards. She apologized and told me that the gluten free waffle only comes in the cheesy option but she didn't offer to replace them. I met Dawn when I first arrived too. She was very nice and I enjoyed chatting with her. I also got a slice of gluten free cake to go. I don't remember what kind it was, but I ate it later that night as we caught a late ferry home, and it was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known how good it was because I would have bought more to bring home. This is definitely one of the many reasons I will return to the Island, and I am already excited for my next visit.

    Can't get enough of this espresso magic!

The mocha and cookie were just okay for me. Our cookie tasted a little dry and stale, and the mocha leaned too milky. But honestly, the London fog and the whole atmosphere made up for it. The people working there were friendly too. I'd still come back for the vibe alone.

The squeeze of lemon was delightful and brought all the flavors together beautifully. The main dish of seafood risotto was delicious as well and incredibly flavorful. I enjoyed the oil/sauce the meal was served on and every bite was fantastic. My only disappointment was the size of the entrees as they were small portions. The burger was also fantastic although the size was on the smaller side and there were not a lot of potato wedges included. Overall I loved this place and the service was great. The atmosphere was lively as they had live music playing which was a nice touch. I'm excited to try more dishes from this cute little restaurant.

There's a notice on the menu that says to expect slower service - this isn't. 20 minute meal before you get on the ferry - it's a leisurely experience with time to have conversations.

When we arrived there were a ton of people inside picking up bagels to go, so it did take a while to get our order.

I got the rosemary chive sea salt bagel with egg and sausage, and it was absolutely delicious! The bagel was the most perfect texture ever - a crisp bite on the exterior and a soft doughy middle, perfectly warmed up in the sandwich. The sausage was also super tasty and balanced out the egg well. I can't stop thinking about the texture of these bagels they were that good!

Crab cakes were mayo forward and…read moremushy on the inside, albeit a nice brown crust on outside, but it was more of a crab & mayo mash on top of a pesto smear (credit for great tasting coleslaw). Spicy popcorn shrimp and smoked salmon chunks appetizers, and the large front table by the window, were the highlights. To be transparent, my dad loves oysters, and the happy hour oysters were as expected. My son's muscles entree was good - but we had to drain out the sauce from bottom of pot, into the lid of pot, to enjoy the sauce with the cold sourdough bread that came on the side. Sauce was tasty, but overall it was too much work to get to the sauce, and I was disappointed the bread was right out of the bag or not warmed at least. I ordered the Cesar and added salmon. The Cesar dressing was definitely mayo based, but did contain anchovies, so likely homemade, it had potential, but it tasted mostly like mayo. If you don't love mayo, do not get the Cesar. My mom's Louie salad looked pretty boring, and she was disappointed (which is unusual). My son's girlfriend ordered fries and kids butter noodles - kids menu was great!!! Overall the food was just meh. The service was speedy, but our server had little patience for newbies with a couple questions. Since there was an hour way, we ended up at a little restaurant just up the hill, a place with a cocktail sign hanging out front, and their hummus looked homemade amazing.
