There was a staff member, larger gentleman, backwards hat, some tattoos, who was probably one of the rudest staff members at a restaurant/cafe I've encountered. Saw him interact with numerous individuals and was constantly in awe of how much of a jackass he was being. If you're going to be rude to people, maybe don't work in a hospitality service. read more

Finally found a place with a decent matcha latte here on the island. Super cute setup near the ferry landing. They have a small menu and also some baked goods. I love the artist that they are featuring. You get some nice views of the water. Quiet but busy with food tables for getting some computer work done (yay outlets). Loved how cozy it was. read more

Ordered some breakfast sandwiches and coffee, both of which were good. However the guy who took our orders looked like he would rather be somewhere else, maybe even annoyed that another customer walked through the door. I understand that people can't operate at 100% everyday but just a simple "hello, what can I get you" goes a long way rather than staring at the customer, without saying anything, waiting for them to order. read more

I ordered a decaf latte. I got a too hot, burnt, and foamy drink that was undrinkable. My partner's cappuccino was the same. We also ordered an almond croissant and after purchased we were told it contains honey and cheese as well. I'd advise to dial in the details on the coffee and barista skills as we threw both of ours in the trash. read more

Salty Fox Coffee - Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Ooh Salty Fox! My favorite part was the bright space with lots of windows; I came for coffee but wished I could have stayed! The coffee wasn't cheap, but it was good and expertly made. The baked goods and menu looked yummy. Plenty of choices. And there were cute souvenirs and prepared choices. I agree with others; the bathroom was cutely decorated but needed a good fan -- small + windowless = stinky! But I've tried four of the other coffee spots in Friday Harbor and this was the best coffee and best ambiance! read more

Very cute coffee shop right on front street. The food and coffee were delicious. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. The staff is great and super helpful. The ferry entrance is right outside the window so you can grab a drink and some food while you wait. I came every morning on my stay on San Juan island. read more

Went a few times during our recent vacation to Friday Harbor. The coffee was reliably good. The staff barely made eye contact or smiled.

This was our go-to coffee and breakfast place during a recent 3-day weekend trip to Friday Harbor. For one, the prices are much more reasonable than what you get at many nearby breakfast restaurants, and at the same time, the quality of ingredients is actually much higher than those places. If you're looking for a place to sit and have a tasty breakfast sandwich or breakfast bowl for around $4-$6, this is where you want to go! I also like their organic coffee. There are a number of small tables inside the restaurant, and they have outdoor seating with a view of the water. We never had any problem finding an indoor table even though there were always other customers there when we arrived. They are conveniently located right across from the ferry terminal. Last but not least, the service was great. The young male cashier/server working the weekend we were there was especially kind. read more

Salty Fox Coffee - breakfast bowl and Americano.. yum - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Employees were friendly! Limited seating if your looking for somewhere to hang for awhile. Gluten free chocolate chip cookies were fabulous! Even if you don't have a gluten sensitivity you'll love the taste of these cookies! We also had 2 van oak milk lattes. Delicious! read more

Don't expect to get your coffee in a timely manner. We only come here when our regular one is closed but honestly this is the last time. Its just ridiculous for them to have 5 people in there. Its takes 15 almost 20 min for them to make a coffee and then for it to be wrong. Im not save this place is horrible but the coffee was still completely wrong and not worth the wait. read more

Great setting, good coffee and breakfast sandwich. My daughter loved the Nutella croissant.

Awesome place. Great food sand drinks. Coffee drinks are made to order and always perfect.

Loved my oat milk latte with caramel cream, so delicious. Very friendly staff and it's right next to the ferry dock. Perfect spot when waiting in line for the ferry home. read more

Great lattes and food options. They definitely know how to make their coffee drinks. Great location in the heart of downtown though parking could be an issue. read more

Great coffee and cakes. Top notch service and wonderful views of Friday Harbor. Definitely recommended!!

In comparison to three other coffee shops in town, this was the best place to get excellent coffee and a wonderful breakfast. Their space is comfortable with a few different seating options, including an awesome balcony overlooking the harbor. Coffee was very good and the baristas were skilled. I had ordered a breakfast sandwich and my friend ordered the Lox, both were also very enjoyable. Drinking a fine cup of coffee and having a nice sandwich while enjoying a view of the harbor was so relaxing. The baristas were friendly and the drinks came out quick. The food took a reasonable amount of time to prepare. Sometimes it gets crowded inside when ferries are about to load up or have just unloaded the passengers. The have a few retail items that were fun and a good way to keep the memory of such an enjoyable place. read more

The coffee smelled good, it's convenient because it's right across the street from the ferry terminal. It's cute and has a bunch of cute souvenirs. They messed up my London fog latte, forgot the vanilla, and the scone was extra dry and bland. I'll give it another go another day. read more

Food was nice. Açaí bowl was a little light on fruit but my coffee was delicious. Staff was friendly. The location is awesome and the snacks & things to shop was very fun. read more

The proximity to the ferry is a plus however their customer service leaves room for improvement. I ordered a mocha and waited over 10 minutes while a customer who wandered up and order two drink, one chai latte, received her drink immediately. I ended up not getting my drink as they couldn't make it in time for the ferry. I won't stop by here anymore. read more

The lox on an everything bagel really hit the spot. Friendly service, quick turnaround, beautiful spot.

This place is very tranquil. Good coffee and pastries. The breakfast muffing was really good. Sit outside and just relax the morning away. read more

Probably the worst coffee I had on the island, this place has gone downhill since we last visited 2 years ago. Ordered 2 iced americanos, watched the barista fill up the cup 3/4 of the way with water and a few ice cubes. As a former barista, that is not the proper way to make an americano. Told them it was very watery and they told me americanos are supposed to taste watery. They remade my drink but it was still awful. Pretty wild that anyone who works in coffee would say it's supposed to taste watery.. read more

My dear friend and I arrived fresh off the ferry and saw this place right away. We stumbled inside to relieve ourselves from the brisk December chill and wind of the ferry. We ordered chai lattes and "chocolate" muffins. Once sipping the latte we were taken aback by the unique taste of the so called "chai" in our hands. It was very watered down and tasted more like a chai tea. Once biting into our muffins we were surprised to find blueberries. It was still a sub par muffin. Not what we expected. The drinks on the other hand, not our favorites. The establishment has a great atmosphere, so we will give it that. read more

Salty Fox Coffee - Muffins and Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

We grabbed coffees and pastries here a couple of times over the several days we were in town. It's a bumpin' place that often has long lines! Of note, you can order from the outside window or go inside. They didn't have a ton of pastry selection when we went, and we made the mistake of saying "sure" when asked if we wanted them to heat ours up. It took them 10 minutes to heat them up due to the long line of pastries ahead of ours. We ended up getting a regular croissant, a croissant with bacon in it, and a cookie. This was a bit stressful given our incoming ferry. The coffee was decent, and they had a nice selection of non-dairy milks. read more

SUPER CUTE CAFE. It's seriously so cute and the front porch is perfect to sit in the morning and drink your warm coffee - eat your delicious breakfast - and look at the water/boats, ferries coming in. We were only there for 2 days on vacation and went to the Salty Fox each day, it was a great way to start the day. read more

This is a super cute spot in Friday Harbor. I loved the local goods available inside. This spot can be busy so be sure to give yourself enough time if you are in the Ferry line. I'm so glad they offer oat milk for their coffee! read more

Super cute coffee shop! Clean facilities and staff. From wine glasses to unique gifts it's welcoming to all that enter. The staff facilitated communication between each other to ensure low wait times and happy customers. Even with several people ahead of me I was able to get my order in and receive it within 10 minutes. They do offer pastries and a food menu. I didn't eat anything here as I just had breakfast elsewhere. I'd say give this place a try, it's worth it. read more

Why are you closed at 2pm on a week day in a big tourist location? This was on my list of places to go while touring the San Juan Islands. Needless to say we found amazing coffee elsewhere. read more

Stopped in here on a boating trip last weekend. Great coffee shop on the island. Great coffee, pastries and other gifts in the store. The shop is a renegades old house. Will definitely be back. read more

Salty Fox Coffee is located near the ferry landing in Friday Harbor. Its the white house on your left, as you're en route to Anacortes. They serve a wide range of pastries and coffee drinks. There is also a limited menu of breakfast items, but its not a full service breakfast location. SFC has a bright, homey appeal and on clear, chilly days, this is a great reprieve from the bitter cold. The bathroom could use an update, but the seating area and service make SFC a nice place to hang out before your ferry arrives. We stopped here after visiting San Juan Coffee for a bag of beans and a cup of coffee. SFC didn't bat an eye when we arrived with our cups, and we appreciated that we could indulge in SFC's sweets and SJC's smooth coffee. I will recommend not getting the day-old pastries as the scone I got was dry and tasteless, but today's muffin was moist and easily shareable between two people! read more

Excellent coffee, nice location near ferry WiFi and pleasant seating for relaxing Only complaint was person behind register was unfriendly and rather mater of fact in her interaction, not good for business where Customer service is king read more

I stopped here for a coffee before a hike on the island. The service was quick and the coffee was served hot. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm on the island. read more

Delightful coffee, friendly customer service! I also highly appreciate their public health policies during the pandemic. Thanks for keeping us safe! read more

My Mom and I hopped into Salty Fox to grab some coffee just before going down to wait for the next ferry. The lady at the counter was nice, and our iced mochas came up quickly. My Mom had one of their chocolate chip cookies and said it was fantastic. Their coffee was alright, a tiny bit bitter though. Their space is split in two, with one side including the ordering counter and tables, and then another room where they have a couch and some other seating, including tables. They also have a really nice outside deck and lower seating area that have beautiful views. It looks like a really nice place to hang, inside and out. They encourage coloring and had some books and a whole large caddy of gel pens. This is a great idea, considering the resurgence of adult coloring going on...I like it. The one thing that was a bummer at Salty Fox was that the bathroom was not in great shape. Beyond the fact that it looked like it hadn't had a daily cleanup, it was a little old and shabby looking. It needed a fresh coat of paint, a new sink and fixtures...some new flooring and a good deep clean in general. I can understand, being so close to the ferry how they may get hit with a lot of patrons, and ones that need to use their facilities..but this needs to be taken care of. Anyways..three stars for a nice place with room for improvement. read more

My husband and I stopped in here and had delicious food and yummy drinks. The breakfast sandwhich on the Belgium waffle was delicious and my husband was happy with his cream cheese bagel. Americano and mocha were tasty. We sat out on the patio and had a wonderful view of the harbor. The staff and setup of the place were also careful to maintain covid precautions and were friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Wish I could give this place a fair review but we were shocked to pull up in the ferry line and discover it was closed at 4pm! The sign on the door says they close at 2pm. A real disappointment that their Yelp hours of operation weren't up to date and a huge missed opportunity for ferry traffic business on a busy August Saturday! read more

One of our most favorite things to do while on vacation is find local coffee shops. Today we tried the Salty Fox. The shop located in a quaint little house. The ambiance is very welcoming and the gentleman that helped us was so funny. I enjoyed him most. I ordered a white mocha that was fantastic. My wife ordered an iced chocolate mocha that was not as good as mine (she never listens to me) read more

Got a breakfast sandwich, bagel, latte and tea from here before getting on the ferry. The sandwich was really good. It also came with a salad. The coffee was nice and strong. Would recommend checking this place out if you're in Friday Harbor! read more
