Orcas Hotel Cafe

We love EVERYTHING about the Orcas Hotel Cafe. Great food to pick up on your way to the ferry of an amazing destlocation for dinner and cocktails at sunset. The breakfast sandwich is huge and the chicken pot pie is a great comfort food on Sundays for dinner. Don't miss the fish and chips for lunch! Oh, did I mention the cocktails?

We were starved and had our dreams crushed when we learned that the ferry was canceled to Friday Harbor at 655 am. We had plans to go to the Salty Fox to eat.We came back here after learning that nowhere on the island is opened on a Tuesday or is opened before 9 except a coffee place. Which I had visited earlier.This place was a godsend. We arrived , ordered and the young lady waiting on us asked if we were from Pennsylvania because of my T-shirt. I said yes and she said she was from Ohio and I asked what part and she said Youngstown. It's our neighbor by an hour and replied we live in Pittsburgh.Now the food sandwiches were all at 10.59 which is more expensive than PA but this is and island. I had the breakfast sandwich with sausage , egg and bacon. It was so damn good. Better than any Dunkin or Starbucks that I've ever had. My kids and wife got the Mexican burrito and it was enormous and delicious as well. Overall happy we visited. You sit inside or outside. Order when you arrive and they call your name to pick up your food.

Eat here every time I come to a Orcas! Always something yummy on the menu from chef John or maybe Quinton this time around! Such a cozy room and an incredible view of the ferry landing. Love love love and can't recommend this place any more than I do!

WowTesla dates are one of the new things we are experiencing. We got off the ferry and I wanted some hot chocolate and warm apple cider. Then he saw the burger and fries and he devoured it! He said it was better than sex haha and we're on our honeymoon. No it was absolutely delicious. The fries are VERY good. Salted well and I handed vinegar which was *chefs kiss*Can't beat this as our first meal!This has an amazing view and it was nice to sit outside even in October. Very happy to support this historic hotel!

Nice views, good food and literally next to the ferry terminal. The service was fast and the staff was polite.

I loved my stay! The rooms and hotel grounds are gorgeous. I had a beautiful view of the water and ferries. From my window I would randomly see wild turkeys and rabbits. The cafe down below was delicious, I really enjoyed the clam chowder. I had it twice! Their burger was pretty tasty too. The staff were friendly and professional- and also very accommodating prior to my arrival. They really strive to make sure you have a comfortable stay. There's hotel parking in the back for those who bring their car like me, which I'm glad i did. Last but not least, complimentary drip coffee at the cafe for guests. I'll definitely stay again. It was a nostalgic oasis- a perfect retreat for a birthday get away. A review I forgot to post in October.

I really wanted to like this place because it's so gorgeous, and I loved how they included historical photos and their backstories, plus some historical items throughout the first and second floors. They also have beautiful grounds, and if you order at the Cafe, you can eat it outside, anywhere on the grounds, or inside if you wish. However, the food was severely overpriced for the serving size, flavor, and ingredient quality. Maybe it's because they're on an island and don't have access to quality ingredients or quantities. Still, the service was excellent, and the servers were super sweet and attentive. We felt bad because when our food was ready, our server was walking around looking for us since we decided to post up on the front porch area, and most folks ate closer to the Cafe.We're still glad we tried this place. The views are amazing, of course, since it's on the waterfront and has a small adjacent parking lot. A big shoutout to Stewart, one of the groundskeepers, who gave us more information on the hotel and even gave us a great recommendation for the White Horse Pub, which we loved!

Love the changing seasonal menu here. It is a must stop anytime I am on Orcas. Love this place though

We came here for lunch while waiting for our ferry. The view of the harbor was nice. The grilled cheese and tomato soup hit the spot. My partner is from Australia. He ordered their fish n' chips and said they were perfect. We will be back on our next visit.

Breakfast is good, dining area is quaint and the view is nice. We had the breakfast sandwich, cinnamon roll and burrito on our first visit. Each item was more than enough for one person but hard to put down. Coffee was nice too.We had the burrito again on our second visit but wasn't as good as the first - different cook perhaps. Will definitely revisit next time on the island.
