Best Breakfast Places in Friday Harbor

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially on the day you will see Orca whales for the first time, go on a kayak trip, or take a scenic flight over the San Juan Islands. We’ve put together a list of our favorite places, to help you find the perfect place to fuel up before your adventure. Bon Appetite!

RIDICULOUSLY CLOSE TO EARTHBOX:

Café Zia at Earthbox

Earthbox’ seasonal coffee shop by the pool. For a great cup of coffee or a light snack. Open July to September (if staffing allows, we are still really struggling with staffing), 7:30am to 11:00am. Excellent Caffé Vita coffee drinks, smoothies, fruit, yogurt and our favorite: the Earthbox signature Açai berry bowls.

The Sweet Retreat

A block from the Earthbox at 264 Spring Street. Open from 7:00am to 4:00pm. A pick up window for a quick, uncomplicated bite and a coffee. Espresso, breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, pastries, ice cream. Our favorite: Breakfast sausage ciabatta with a real fruit shake.
