It was on the sweeter side, since it is presweetened. I ordered a regular Matcha Latte the next day, and was able to adjust the sweetness. The Doe Bay Biscuit was excellent. I got it without cheese and it still held up great. They also have a ton of pastries to pick from. I got the Black Tahini Sesame Tea Cake.

This is definitely a place I'd bring a book and stay a while! The person taking orders and the barista were both very friendly. The wife picked out a Maple Cardamom latte for me (oat milk, of course) and it was cardamom forward in the best way. Delightful experience!

Brown Bear is so often overcrowded.

The paintings, fabric, and high ceilings create an elevated cottagecore ambiance that is perfect for a cozy morning. Coffee is strong and pastry -- a small range of sweet and savory options -- are well made. Service is patient and friendly. Great spot!

Quiches are said to be quite good. Expect a line (more often than not, out the door) and a healthy wait for service. Do check days and hours when they're open.

Beautiful location and space but we didn't have the best meal. Service was weirdly disorganized…read more(there's only 10 tables with 3 front of house staff and a manager, so it was not lack of staff.) There seemed to be confusion on basic things and we saw our meal sit out for a good while before anyone brought it over. The bartender was trying hard and did recommend a terrific wine. Our meal overall was just ok and for the prices and high end focused menu (all $40-$50 entrees- no sandwiches and few apps to share), it felt like they should decide to either step up to run a high price restaurant or make this place more casual and better priced. Our dinner here fell flat and we will likely go into Eastsound for dinner next time.

I have to give this place max props. One thing that you will learn if you're not a native of the…read moreisland is that businesses here aren't like the mainland. The mainland it's a doggy dog world to survive. Here it's just relaxing, open at 9 ish, two hour siestas and close at 5. We just dealt with a 17 hour commute from east coast to the west coast, slept barely, was up and out the door at 6 am to catch our ferry to Friday Harbor, only for it to be canceled and delayed until 740 pm. At this point I just wanted coffee. Nobody was opened except these people. I had a mocha latte and a blueberry scone which was the BEST scone that I've ever tasted before. Better than Starbucks warmed up. Thanks to this place for doing it right.

Very tiny and cute coffee shop on the island. The baristas are friendly and nice too…read more I came here twice during our visit to San Juan Island. Their Salish Sea Fog (London Fog) was my favorite, it was fragrant and perfectly sweet. I even got the same tea bag and tried to make it at home. My partner is a mocha lover, and he said their mocha was good.

Tiny coffee shop with no seating but just an entrance and a narrow hall to order and go. The coffee…read morewas delicious and flavorful. I got the Third Eye Coffee and it has 7 mushrooms and it was quite earthy. The honey lavender had really delicious sweet lavender floral taste. The coffee was great but we came across a not great experience with a lady/customer in line. She told us to wait outside since the owner doesn't like when the coffee shop is packed as it made him nervous. We acknowledged what she said. The tone was rude and stated, "well, aren't you going to go?" But we were holding the door for her to go out first since we have manners. If what she said was true, I think it would be better if the owner had a sign of some sort so folks aren't scolded but this lady. I tried to tell myself she doesn't represent the coffee shop but it did make me just want to leave to another shop. When we walked by the coffee shop throughout the day since we walked around town, there were definitely multiple people waiting inside like we did. Sooo...

Each time we visit Lopez Island we make sure to drive over to the Horse Drawn Farm's farm stand,…read morelocated down a long gravel road off Port Stanley Road. Horse Drawn offers an impressive variety of seasonal vegetables as well as meats (frozen) and, when you get lucky, eggs. Everything they sell is absolutely first rate. Much to their credit they work on the honor system. Prices are clearly marked. You take what you want from the display cases or freezers. Weigh your produce on the scale. Record the amounts on the clipboard. Add it up on their calculator. Pay by cash or check. We first encountered them years ago at Lopez Island's Saturday farmers market. Since then whenever we're on the island we frequent their farm stand. When you consider that they plow their fields using non-fossil-fuel-powered farming methods -- teams of actual plow horses, as their name suggests -- you feel genuinely happy purchasing and consuming their food. They're part of what makes Lopez Island a wonderful place to visit.
