If I lived on Whidbey Island, I would come here every day. I got a vanilla latte, and it tasted like roasted marshmallows! I especially love the ambiance of this place. You would never expect it from the outside, but it feels like stepping through a portal into another world. The outdoor seating is lovely too, with little areas tucked away between the bushes.
The person who rang me up must have been new because I was a little confused by the menu. It showed cheesy waffles (gluten free) and regular waffles. I asked if the gluten free ones were only the cheesy version, and she said no. I was happy since I didn't want cheesy waffles, so I ordered the gluten free ones. When they arrived, I added syrup and took a bite, only to be surprised by a strong cheddar flavor. I am not a fan of sharp cheese with sweet syrup, so it was disappointing and I threw it away. If I had known they were the cheesy kind, I would have skipped the syrup and enjoyed them as savory waffles instead. I mentioned it to another employee afterwards. She apologized and told me that the gluten free waffle only comes in the cheesy option but she didn't offer to replace them.
I met Dawn when I first arrived too. She was very nice and I enjoyed chatting with her. I also got a slice of gluten free cake to go. I don't remember what kind it was, but I ate it later that night as we caught a late ferry home, and it was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known how good it was because I would have bought more to bring home. This is definitely one of the many reasons I will return to the Island, and I am already excited for my next visit.
