Great food, friendly staff. For an unusual desert, try out the rice pudding with cherries!

The food here is very forgettable. Service is good. I would say the service is great, but the food is nothing to write about.

The perfect place to enjoy a chai latte and bành mí sandwiches overlooking crashing waves. A cute and cozy space to enjoy on a respite weekend. Speedy service and tasty bites. So nice we tried it twice (and ordered the same thing both times)! read more

We love coming here whenever we visit, not only is the service speedy and friendly, but the food is always phenomenal! We've sat both inside and out and you can't go wrong with either. It's always been quiet and pleasant each time we've visited. P.S. I will never stop recommending their clam chowder! read more

Hadn't been here in a year or more. Today I had the salad with warm fingerling potatoes (also shitake, pickled red onion, roasted tomatoes, feta) and it was wonderful. Thank you! Be back soon. read more

So disappointed in the clam chowder at Lighthouse Cafe. For years, it has been the best around--on the peninsula and beyond--but I brought a friend there yesterday to enjoy a bowl and it was ordinary at best. The waitress said the recipe was modified recently to accommodate a change in the type of potato used. The accommodations took the chowder went from one that I literally dreamed about to one with way too many potatoes, not enough clams and an unremarkable flavor. On the bright side, it opens up the Port Townsend lunch possibilities because in the past, I only wanted to go there. read more

Pretty ok. Food is of decent quality, staff is unfriendly though not hostile. Only notable because all other PT restaurants have very friendly staff. Probably will choose another option for lunch next time. read more

Went here with my boyfriend two days ago. The cafe had Excellent Atmosphere mixed with great drinks, good vibes, and delicious food. The Service was excellent. Lighthouse Cafe is a gem and is a great place to visit if you're in Port Townsend. Would definitely recommend the Delicious Clam Chowder and the Italian sandwich. Great place. Excellent experience. read more

Exceptional eatery and great coffee! Quick, friendly service, quality ingredients. Very impressed.

Sat outside and had the clam chowder with bread. Everything was so flavorful and good my only complaint is that the chowder wasn't that thick but the bread made up for it read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for breakfast on the go after staying in a hotel across the street. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and sat waiting over 15 minutes to get it. There were 2 cooks and a cashier and only 2 tables in the restaurant so we were unsure why it took so long. Anyway, fast forward to being handed the sandwich. We got out to our car and started driving home. My boyfriend unwrapped his sandwich down the road to find that it had been completely burned. I cannot believe they served this with a good conscious. You can see from the photo that it is obviously black and burned. We were already miles down the road and therefore did not turn around. We ended up throwing the 6.00 sandwich (plus tip) in the garbage. It's ok to make a mistake. It's ok to say, "sorry for the wait already, but we burned your sandwich and need to make another". It is NOT OK to serve something that is inedible and pretend like you didn't. Horrible customer service. We won't be back next time we visit Port Townsend. read more

Lighthouse Cafe - Waited 15 minutes and paid 7.00 after a tip for this small and burned sandwich. - Cafes Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

Very cool place. I've been coming here for decade, but under the new ownership it's very different. Decent sandwich shop. Polite staff. Eclectic atmosphere. A bit pricey and I'm not sure why they want a tip. You order at the counter and bus your own table. I'd reduce the amount of potatoes in the clam chowder by about 1/2. Perhaps a shirt that covers the sandwich makers belly button would be appropriate too. read more

30 years ago I came here and had the best clam chowder in my life. Coming back for seconds has been a total success: they still have delicious chowda! The staff is fun, the atmosphere is chill, and the view out into the Sound is beautiful. The restaurant is along the peer of the main drag in Port Townsend. Also, pretty decent mimosas! read more

Way over priced for "quality" food and coffee that could be made at home. Almost every time I've walked near it just reeks of rotting cheese or stomach bile that makes me want to get as far from this place as possible. The original Lighthouse Cafe was a beacon of amazing breakfasts and great conversations with the owner Tom, this sham can't even COMPARE. read more

We stopped for lunch and had amazing coffee, chowder, sandwiches and dessert. Great service and views as well. 6*

SO good! I wish I had taken photos of the food, but I ate it too quickly! We've gone a couple of times to this place and all of the options are great! I highly recommend splitting a salad and a sandwich with someone so that you get to taste more than one of their amazing options. I will definitely be coming back to this place every time I'm in town! read more

This place is in a nice location and a homey space, as the other reviewer pointed out. There is a decent selection of food and what we can was good. Funny enough, I believe I caught him (Mauri) in my photo in the back as I heard the discussion of picking up the wrong order. This place fills up quickly but if you could grab a table then certainly give it a shot! read more

The barista ignored the line (of 2) while making only 1 drink. Was not busy. Waited for hot water for my tea and had to pour honey into my tea myself. Never had to do this myself before at a cafe. read more

We were very pleased with our first visit here in many years. Customers order their food at the counter, and bus their own table, which we don't mind at all. The staff were friendly and helpful. My husband had a chicken Caesar salad and I had the Italian sandwich, which came with a salad. The Caesar salad had large chunks of chicken and my sandwich was hot and grilled perfectly. Our lunch came quickly, was nicely prepared and delicious. With two glasses of wine, our bill came to $62, and we put a cash tip in the tip jar. We will be back. read more

The food was fresh, super tasty and made with care. Would highly recommend! We shared a grilled chicken sandwich on ciabatta and a chop salad with a wonderful combination of ingredients. read more

Location is amazing downtown, with some good outdoor seating with water views, great ambience inside with maybe 10 tables. Really simple, but beautiful menu. We had the artichoke sandwich (think it was a special) and it was really, really good. Came on a nicely oiled, toasted ciabatta with a lemony sauce and roasted tomatoes, came with side salad. For sweet, we had the berry strata, which I will never forget. Seriously one of the best desserts I've ever had. Got to say hi to the owner/manager who was really chill and helpful with our takeout order. Would recommend for lunch any day of the week! read more

Wow! I ordered the artichoke sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! It also came with a delicious arugula salad. My husband had the Italian sandwich that was also excellent. The service was fast too. And they have really good loose leaf teas. This will definitely be where we come for lunch the next time we visit Port Townsend. read more

Best tomato soup I've ever had! Made with goat cheese, roasted garlic, black truffle and white bean puree..try the salted chocolate chip cookie, it's to live for! read more

We make a point to stop here whenever we're in Port Townsend . They make decadently delicious breakfast sandwiches with the very best ingredients, starting with Macrina Bakery ciabatta buns. We ordered all of the "extras" on the basic egg and Gruyère sandwich- arugula, roasted tomatoes and Prociutto-and paid just over $20 for two. Excellent value! Tip generously! read more

My husband and I live in AZ and come to the Pacific Northwest each summer to enjoy the gorgeous scenery and cool temps. We are so grateful to have discovered the Lighthouse Cafe. The food is amazing and so delicious I hear angels sing! They have many tables outdoors if you want to enjoy the day. The people who run it are wonderful, easy and kind. Highly recommend with the highest regard. You will not be disappointed. We enjoy the artichoke and italian panini sandwiches which come with a fresh side salad. read more

Great breakfast here. There are excellent views for people watching and of the water. The coffee is also superb. The staff is friendly and accommodating & fast. Great little spot! read more

Had the clam chowder which was delicious! Enjoyed the eclectic atmosphere, wide views through the windows and friendly, casual service.

This place is IMHO the real deal: fresh food, well prepared and composed, and not trying to be pretentious. The setting is quirky but authentic, with tons of character. Having had a number of disappointing and overpriced meals in Seattle, it was encouraging to come here, eat well, and not feel ripped off. Great coffee, service and menu items. We had the salmon sandwich on brioche- outstanding lunch. read more

This place was incredible. We had the biscuit with mushroom gravy and truffle oil. It was so good. The scone was light and airy and the gravy was so tasty and perfectly seasoned. We also had the lemon pound cake with lemon curd which was perfectly tart yet airy as well. My partner had the coffee cake. It was tasty and not dense at all. More importantly, it felt like this place was underpriced for the quality you get. read more

The place was adorable and cleanThe food was delicious and fresh. Definitely recommend!

Been twice now and honestly it's just too expensive for meh food and coffee. The salmon and mushroom sandwich were bland and the salmon was not a sandwich. It's open faced and better classified as salmon toast. A second visit had an espresso and it was a little burnt for my taste. The side to the sandwiches was just arugula with balsamic and one cherry tomato cut in half. So food for Two people with out drinks $44. For two bleh "sandwiches" and some arugula. View is ok too, near the water but Not worth the price. read more

Soup and Blueberry Strata for me, a sandwich for my husband, everything was excellent and quick! (Strata was heated up a bit too much for me, but I prefer my deserts at room temp.) We came in late and stayed u til they closed, great energy from the 2 staff still there. Definitely would return when we come back to town. read more

Fresh delicious lunch. Family had meatloaf sandwich, turkey sandwich, Caesar salad, walnut apple salad. All were made quickly and were delicious!!!! There are also beer, wine and pastry/dessert offerings, which we didn't try. We would definitely all enjoy another meal here! read more
