Stopped here after getting off the ferry. The barrista stated they have no white coffee no heavy whipping cream. They did have a gluten free muffin, cookie and scones but a woman in line and the barista said the scones are pretty dry and suggested a cookie or muffin. The cookie was very small and $5.99 before taxes and then the muffin was the same amount (they had chocolate or cranberry- cranberry was smaller then chocolate but I chose it) but then they add a "service fee" on top of this? Even though they just grab it and hand it to you. Which is not the tip. Very odd. I also felt bad for the barista she was the only one working and there was a very long line.
happened upon this place by accident and could not have been happier. I have celiac disease and finding decent GF food is a challenge...finding GREAT GF food is almost impossible. THIS WAS FANTASTIC and not a single allergic reaction to anything. Such a lovely surprise, I fully recommend it.
Amazing umami from start to finish. What a gem in Coupeville! They were completely booked, but we figured we’d stop by and see if there was availability for 4. They had one table left and promptly seated us. We had the octopus, which was the most flavorful and perfectly cooked – crunchy char on the outside and tender on the inside. We also had the prawn and mushroom risotto – every bite was exquisite. The gnocchi had a spicy sausage cream that was just garlicky enough. The beet salad was perfectly balanced with a unique tasty beet that resembled tuna sashimi in appearance but tasted like a hearty beet. If you’re watching your sodium intake, however, the tamari seasoned brussels sprouts may not be your jam. The beignets, gluten free chocolate cake and chai tea ice cream were melt in your mouth delicious. Service was impeccable – friendly, timely and extremely attentive even with a fully packed restaurant.
Every time we are over on Whidbey (live in Everett) I take my 6-year-old son to Pizza Factory. We both love it. I'm celiac, so it is really nice that they have really good gluten-free pizza. The Greek salad is also really fresh and delicious and the staff is super nice and welcoming.
We've been coming to the Tyee Café for many years. It's really the perfect café, the food and service are excellent, and the café itself has plenty of charm. The breakfasts and burgers can't be beat! And you can even get your sandwich on gluten-free bread if you wish (my BLT on gf bread was delicious).
