Friday Harbor’s Only Waterfront Café

Serving our island community since 2016

We provide our classic island hospitality and locally sourced products with stunning Salish Sea views – just steps away from the San Juan Island ferry terminal! Stop in for a freshly brewed cup of locally roasted coffee or a handcrafted espresso beverage. Sample our freshly-baked pastries, refreshing smoothies, or island-inspired breakfast sandwiches. We take pride in offering fresh, thoughtfully-chosen ingredients in pursuit of consistency, value, community, and happiness.

Our last day of the 2025 season will be Sunday, December 14th. We will be back in 2026!
