AFTER 3 bad drip coffees taken black, I ordered a delicious latte from Better Living Through Coffee. My vegan latte made with macadamia alternative milk was near nirvana.

We ordered and had our drinks pretty quick. This is when things went south. The coffees were not good. I can stomach a lot, but not this. All four of us threw our coffees away without finishing. This is the first time I have ever done that. I'm not sure how they all tasted so bad. Maybe the basic drip is better, but I won't be coming back to try it. Great venue, horrible coffee

What an awesome new little spot on the Port Townsend waterfront. This used to be an amazing…read moresandwich spot, but (sadly) they didn't make it. Glad to see a sweet new place take over, as I dare say this location is almost perfect with its deck overlooking the ferry dock, and bright, sunny windows to make the place cheerful when you can't sit outside. We arrived just in time for happy hour, and were able to enjoy some beers (only $5 for local craft pints!) and a tasty charcuterie plate appy. They also have a tiny, well-curated little grocery area if you're looking to pick up some truly gourmet provisions for a picnic or to take back to your lodging. This will definitely be on my must-do spot next time we're in Port Angeles! There was a bunch more on the menu that I'd love to try.

Time to provide yet another update on the PT Public Library. And this one will be a thank you to…read morethe library for continuing to provide free internet access on its public computer terminals. (I sit at a row of nine terminals right now...more are available nearby.) Oh...and free wi-fi. Yes, I do know that many public libraries offer free internet to patrons these days. Yes, I do know that Bill and Melinda Gates continue to encourage free internet access throughout the world. (Bless you, Mr. Rosewater, this little old librarian can't thank you enough.) But you must understand... The Port Townsend Public Library is now housed in its temporary quarters during the re-construction of its old Carnegie building. Books (and the aforementioned computers) are located *downstairs* at Mountain View Commons...which also houses the KPTZ radio station, the police station, the swimming pool and various other city-sponsored activities. And space at the library is still at a premium. The children's collection is located in a different building at the Commons. And the current library has a vaguely pungent smell of chlorine from the nearby swimming pool. And yet, and yet. The books are here. The librarians are here. The bank of computer terminals is right here. Waiting for those who need them. Oh...and the Port Townsend Public Library is still open seven days a week. Rain or shine. You can't get much better than that.

We spotted desserts and I got won over by the carrot cake and as expected it was wonderful! Flavorful, moist and a joy all around this carrot cake was something that I could have as a frequent guilty pleasure. Still five stars all of the way!

I really liked the decor which was was bright and cute - colorful paintings of roosters and the town. We ordered salmon benedict and a basic type of breakfast (eggs, potatoes, bacon) that came with a side of French toast, which was covered in sweet banana coating. I thought my dish was a bit overpriced and not that great for what it was ($15ish and my fav part were the potatoes) but the portions were definitely large. Hubby enjoyed the benedict and secretly stole most of the banana French toast. They had kid seats which was nice and we let our toddler wander the fairly empty hotel lobby right outside the cafe. So I would consider the place fairly kid-friendly. Coffee was self-serve and delicious; they also had a barista for lattes and such. Lots of pastry options that looked pretty affordable, although we didn't try any.
