Summer ice tea menu
YaoEun L.

Salty Fox Coffee is right by the ferry. The location is so convenient to grab a bite to eat or get a drink while waiting in line to board and it's close to town where you can stop by while exploring. You can order inside or outside at a window. There's tables both inside the cafe and outside depending on your preference. Inside, they had not only Salty Fox Coffee merchandise for sale but also items from local artists. I asked about the pineapple green tea and I appreciated their honesty in how they haven't tried it. I ended up ordering it and it was alright. It was more tea forward than pineapple. I did get a coconut cold brew the following day and that was great.

Breakfast burrito

The chai is soooooo good (if you like a little spice!) I should have gotten a larger one. I thought it was kind of weird the sausage breakfast burrito had andouille sausage, I was expecting breakfast sausage. The breakfast sandwhich was very good, but I wish the eggs were fresh instead of the prepackaged kind. Super convenient location, just steps from the ferry parking.

Chilling on the porch with great views of the harbor

Super charming coffee spot in an old house with great views of the harbor. Rustic old school vibe inside, some outdoor tables as well. Got a solid cappuccino with a nice, fluffy blueberry muffin; fast friendly service. Pleasant spot right in the middle of downtown Friday Harbor.

I had the best gluten-free chocolate chip cookie in existence. And you wouldn't ever know it was gf! The place is cute, convenient to the harbor, and has exquisite views from the tables outside on the porch. The only problem is that nothing I saw on labels or menus said one word about gluten-free, but I asked since I had heard about the cookie, and sure enough, she had a stash behind the counter.

Ordered an Americano and a blueberry muffin at the outdoor counter. Service was quick, vibes were good (a few tables and chairs outside), and I'd definitely come back!

Cute little coffee shop in Friday Harbor! We had the Nutella croissant this morning with an iced caramel macchiato and a double espresso shot and it totally made our morning. It's always nice starting the day with good strong caffeine. The place is so cute and so chill. Loved it!!

I am not much of a coffee person but my gf is and ended up at this place in the morning I tried Matcha Latter and it was really really good. I was not expecting to find something that good here in Friday Harbor. The matcha was bitter - like nice bitter. They definitely put too much of sugar, I would have preferred less. As for the coffee it was okay based on her review. Ambience is super cool - good nice people working here. Good service.

I was pretty disappointed with this spot. The woman at the register definitely put the "salty" in "salty fox". I asked a simple question about the matcha and she was so annoyed. Then she made a weird comment about my order. The coffee was mediocre too. I'd go elsewhere next time.

Stopped here before the ferry came (super great location) and glad I did! I got the matcha lemonade which is something I've never seen before. It slightly tasted like matcha and liked how refreshing it was (but think I'd just order the regular lemonade or a latte next time). I also got the "everything cookie" which has coconut, chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts. The cookie was delicious but a bit too sweet and can easily be shared. They have a few local products such as cups and cards they sell and a decent amount of seating! If you're waiting for the ferry or just got off it, this is a great place to stop.

They are conveniently located near the ferry terminal. We visited this place every day during our stay in San Juan islands . It's fairly crowded but service was very quick . We had their cappuccino, mocha , pesto bagel, rice bowl and their amazing Nutella croissant. It was amazingly fresh and loved their coffee. The staff were very friendly as well. Highly recommend this place

I chose the one called "Healthy Start" because when I travel I'd like to have some veggies or fruit on a daily basis to keep a good bowel movement iykyk. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed with the fruit I got. The strawberries were sour, the cantaloupe looked like a 38 year single dad had just pulled an all nighter and then headed for an 8 hour shift, and the pineapple was ok. The over easy eggs were good. They were actually eggy in a good way. You know how sometimes you have an egg and it literally doesn't taste like anything? That was not the case here. The bacon was the best, it was thick-cut yet crispy. And the sourdough was sourdoughing. My partner had the huevos on our first day, he said it was okay. On the second day, I had oatmeal. I don't know why, but when I read the menu, the oatmeal sounded so much exciting. But when I actually got it, it looked kind of boring, just like the one I make at home. It was good and did the work though. My partner had the "today's special," velvet cake toast. He said it was too chocolatey and the portion wasn't that big for the price. I had one bite, and honestly, I was fine with the chocolatey taste. So if you're a chocolate fan, you might want to try it, otherwise skip it. I guess if I had ordered my usual two egg breakfast, it would probably have been great.

I've never had one so amazingly light, soft and perfectly just-sweet-enough. Wonder if they will ship them...? We stopped by Leaven for breakfast one morning on our trip getting a savory crêpe each and a couple pastries. Didn't even make it though breakfast before we knew we had to do a repeat the very next day because it was so good. Crepes are French style and are clearly made with skill and talent. The space is bright and cheery with very friendly staff. I see other reviews mentioning waits during busy times or complaints but experienced nothing of the sort. We were a bit off peak and didn't have that issue but I can honestly say I'd be HAPPY to wait for the food at Leaven. This is really something special and whoever is behind it has a gift.

Our photographer suggested Leaven as a place we could take photos at since we love going to cafes together. We ordered a Cauliflower Crepe, Cauliflower Danish, and Matcha Latte. The crepe was delicious! I love have a savory crepe once in a while, and this crepe had the perfect amount of creaminess from the cheese, crunchiness from the cauliflower and onions, and freshness from the arugula. The same could be said about the danish. They had great components of a creperie/cafe. The Matcha Latte though, was not up to par. It seems it wasn't whisked well, so it tasted grainy. Overall, not taking a point off for it because what they specialize in was so great! Besides the food, the space was pretty lively. During our photoshoot, there was live music and every table was taken up. Leaven seems like a great space for a hangout or catch up with someone. Honestly, If I lived in the area, I would always be down for their crepes.

Our party of three visited for lunch at noon on a Thursday. Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately at a lovely table right by the window. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were incredibly courteous and friendly throughout our meal. We initially thought about starting with some small plates, but we were so eager for seafood that we jumped straight into the entrees. We weren't disappointed: Bouillabaisse: This was our first time trying this dish, and it was the highlight for us. It was incredibly flavorful--exactly what we were craving. Spicy Prawn Mac and Cheese: It definitely lived up to its name! It wasn't "blow-your-head-off" hot, but it had a perfect, noticeable kick that really elevated the dish. Blackened Cod Tacos: These were fantastic. The cod was perfectly prepared and worked so well with the rest of the taco ingredients. We also enjoyed a couple of non-alcoholic drinks that hit the spot, though I'll admit that since I'm writing this a couple of weeks later, I forgot to snag photos or the specific names of the drinks! They also have a really nice patio area if you prefer dining outdoors. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal with a view, this place is a must-visit!

For the nature of the restaurant, we had hoped for our waitress to be more friendly and genuine. However, it felt like they just wanted to fulfill our order and be done. I ordered the South Sound Clams and Snapper Sandwich. Bathing in an umami-packed and rich Thai curry broth, the clams were tender and fresh with a bit of brine. Very good and shareable with one other person. The snapper sandwich wowed me! The bright escovitch and creamy avocado paired wonderfully with the snapper. Every bite was delightful. The house-made potato chips, however, were disappointing. They were thin, not crispy, and sticking to my teeth. If you can, substitute for fries or salad. Despite our subpar service, the delicious, well-priced food and beautiful scenery still make this the perfect date spot.
