The cocktails were perfectly crafted paired with a great dinner dish and friendly service. The ambiance really toped off the experience here! Was informed the dinner menu changes almost daily and now I can't wait to try it all.

Disappointing menu and service. There was no service. My friend got the piece of corn for $14. i got the garbanzo beans for $19. Our total with tip came to $43. Later i ordered a cider on draft and it was delicious. But we had to walk up and order, which was difficult since both of us are disabled. The entire thing was ridiculous. The food was not good, and obviously trying to be hooty tooty, but way missing the mark.

We all enjoyed breakfast very much! Unfortunately our dinner experience was less impressive. Our dinner reservation was for just before 7pm on a Sunday. Which is apparently too late in the week/evening if you'd like to select a meal rather than be offered the few remaining items. All of the dishes were very good! They just wouldn't have been our first (second, or even third) choice had the full menu been available. Get it early!

A must stop when visiting the island. Best breakfast ever. Staff is super. Come for the food and stay for the views. Always make a reservation. The island is small and quaint, that’s the beauty of it. If you want a piece of paradise, call ahead.

Immensely lovely. The food is incredible. I had a seasonal burrata and I want to eat it every day. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and thanked us at the end of the meal for making his first week end on a high note. If you're staying at Doe Bay, a meal at the cafe is warm, cozy, and delicious.

We loved being able to grab a restaurant quality meal for takeout. The food was hot, flavorful and fresh. I appreciate the shift to allow takeout and this was one of the best executed takeout entree experiences. The menu changes often and our food has a nice mix of cuisines including fresh seafood and fresh vegetables.

Unbelievably good. Like... some of the best breakfast food I have ever had. Everything on my plate was homemade or locally sourced and out of this world. Home made cheddar biscuit and homemade spicy sausage. What more could you ask for. Outdoor patio is covered from the rain with beautiful views and sights. Wherever you are on the island, make a reservation for breakfast here, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful view. Tip: go before 7 especially on a Sunday as they sell out of a lot of items quickly And change their menu weekly. Great service, everything was flavorful. The menu was all fresh and local and were good but needed just a few small changes to be a five star rating for me. Plating was also beautiful. -Mushroom toast was a little too toasted. Bordering on Cajun style. -shrimp romesco sauce was so delish we skipped the infused oil and put our bread in this. But the shrimp were a bit small. Could have been larger and juicer. -halibut was beautiful fresh and flaky but turmeric was a weird spice for the fish. Kind of overpowered and make it a strange color. Great corn side. -Limited wine by the glass list. My dining parter doesn’t drink so no point in a bottle. Pie was perfect texture, but would have been great w a side of homemade whipped cream. So easy to have inside be too gelatinous or too loose this was perfect. The crust could have been flakier but was flavorful. If you’re not already, the secret is using ice cold vodka and not water to your crust + only butter, no shortening. It’ll make it 10/10. Would return!

I think this exactly the kind of place that you imagine getting breakfast at when you visit a Washingtonian island. It's a cozy spot with lovely views, and the food has the special housemate touch that you look for in small towns. The staff were very easy-going and friendly. I would definitely go back n3xt time I'm on island.

Service and ambience were excellent. We went for dinner. Bread so very airy, best dish was burrata w berries. Zucchini Tatin didn't have much flavor. Clams in white wine was tasty.

Ooof, high dollar, three scallops. A curious experience that left something to be desired. I love the resort though! It makes up for it. The staff was friendly and beverages delicious. Staying in a sweet little cabin and using the spa deck makes for an incredible time, especially in Winter months.

Doe Bay Cafe is a remarkable place to dine in Olga, WA on Orcas Island. The energy at this place is very inviting, the outdoor atmosphere is beautiful and the people this place brings is a great vibe. The service and staff make this place a comfortable dine in and the food is fresh tasting. I definitely recommend eating here if you're on the island.

This was a truly awful experience all around, service and food included. We were told there was going to be a 30-40 minute wait which was fine with us and our name was put on a list. We then watched multiple people come in (parties of the same size or larger) and get sat immediately, despite not being on the waiting list. After a little over an hour we were sat and spent another 25 minutes without silverware or drinks except water. 20 more minutes after we ordered our server came back and told us that they were actually out of a main that we had ordered and we had to choose something else. The food itself once we did get it was exceptionally bad. The spring greens were just large stems with a couple leaves and an egg that was half rock hard and half raw. The potatoes were completely raw despite being tiny, and the tofu scramble had no flavor at all. The cheddar biscuits weren't horrible when they were properly cooked, but one was extremely burnt and dry as sand. None came with butter. All of the other eggs were flat and overcooked. Overall we felt extremely unwelcome from the moment we arrived and should have simply left sooner, but we unfortunately thought our experience would improve. I would recommend staying as far away from here as possible and not wasting your money.

I only got to try the breakfast sandwich from the menu, but going off of this sandwich this place is a five out of five! This is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. They had a little bit of a wait on Easter morning but it was well worth it! Every part from the sausage, the egg, the arugula, the sauce and definitely the bun. My group of 4 didn't say a thing while eating it. Looking at the menu there's other options that look great too, I just don't know if I can try anything else after how good this was. Can't wait to take another trip to orcas island! We also had the Bloody Mary, which was pricey and not the best. I would skip the Bloody Mary and come here for the food!

I've been coming to this cafe for 8 years and I always leave with complete satisfaction as well as the experience of trying something new. They craft their menu based on seasonal availability of local goods and it really comes through on the plate and palate. Don't sleep on the breakfast sandwich, trust me.

Perfectly perfect. Even gluten free waffles are on the menu!!! Do you know how rare that is? Coffees are great, eggs, homemade jam even, the setting the ambiance, the service. Nothing can come close.

I can't say I've ever paid $12 for a breakfast sandwich but this one blew me away. The cheddar biscuit was so fantastic I returned for another one. Scrambled egg is perfectly folded, the aioli delicious, and the house made breakfast sausage was delightful. We also tried the latkes which were solid and delicious but nothing too exciting.

The food is good - and incredibly pricey- if you can ever get a reservation . What makes this place a challenge is that it is nearly impossible to reach them. Over the last two years I've tried to make a reservation perhaps 5 times. Each time I call when they are open and when they are not (they never answer), leave a voicemail (they don't call back), and email (no reply). I follow all of their instructions on the website. I get that they may be busy, but not even a "sorry we are full?". I also understand that they care more about people who stay at their hotel than folks living in the community, but just some decency to reply would be appreciated. Or even better, having a few tables that one could reserve online so we don't need to call in person would be nice. The good thing is that there are lots of other great places on the island that have good customer service - inn at ship bay, kingfish, all have similar menus and excellent reservation systems. Try those if you strike out here.

One of my best friends married the man of his dreams last month, and they had a beautiful wedding at Doe Bay Resort, with a wonderful reception at Doe Bay Cafe. Mike K. has been my companion in gluttony throughout our over 20-year friendship, and his new husband Gino G. is an actual chef. Their wedding hashtag was #iwastoldtherewouldbefood, and they fed their guests marvelously. Doe Bay Cafe is Doe Bay Resort's restaurant, and while I enjoyed Doe Bay as a whole, the cafe was definitely the most impressive part. It serves both brunch and dinner, and while I'm sorry I missed the brunch service, I did have an astonishingly good ham and cheese croissant when I needed something fast to go. I also loved the hors d'oeuvre and signature drinks they provided for the cocktail hour--there were stuffed dates, marinated olives, and addictive lemongrass prawns; refreshing Palomas and excellent Paper Planes. The reception was fantastic. Mike and Gino rented out the whole restaurant, and it was fun and intimate, one big dinner party with all the guests seated at long tables. The food was all family style, served on big boards and platters. There was plenty of wine, and the staff did a good job facilitating while remaining as unobtrusive as possible. Doe Bay has its own garden and sources its other ingredients from local, organic, etc. purveyors, and everything we ate was fresh and delicious. We sat down to find giant cheese and charcuterie boards laid out on the table, heavy with meat, cheese, fruit, pickles, preserves, and mustard. There was crusty sourdough bread and butter made with herbs from Doe Bay's garden. Next, we had a gorgeous salad of garden greens with stone fruit, feta, almonds, and sherry vinaigrette. For the main course, we had Salish Sea halibut with Doe Bay garden salsa verde and herbs, made pretty and colorful with edible flowers. On the side there was Anson Mills polenta with morel mushrooms and parmesan, as well as cauliflower and romanesco with preserved lemon, pine nuts, and mint. Instead of cake, there was pie, and oh my, was it good. I loved both the rhubarb and the raspberry, served with whipped cultured cream. After dessert, we danced on the patio, and after that, we moved to a campfire, where the cafe provided us with supplies for s'mores. I had an amazing time celebrating Mike and Gino. My heart is full thinking about these guys, and I'm so glad Doe Bay Cafe helped them put on an unforgettable wedding.

Low key locally sourced dishes prepared with panache and excellence. Although the menu is small, every item is creatively prepared and delicious. Well worth a visit

My partner and I went to Orcas Island for a much-needed weekend. Despite living in Seattle for years, we had yet to explore the San Juan Islands. Good friends recommended Doe Bay Cafe to us. We ordered take out (beet fritters, a yummy salad, scallops, and dessert). We both LOVE to cook and eat out often. We were VERY impressed at the quality of food that we received! We savored every single bite. Needless to say, we will be heading back to Orcas AND to the Doe Bay Cafe sometime in the near future! We can't WAIT! We normally take photos of food that impresses us. We were too busy, reveling in the tastes, textures, and gloriousness of the dinner to remember to take photos. Until it was too late. Next time!

Best meal we had on the island. Fresh ingredients that didn't leave an unpleasant after taste or side effect. Beautiful scenery and friendly service. Worth the drive out to Doe Bay.

It is off the beaten path and may be pricey but I say yes! A wonderful brunch menu late into the afternoon. Fresh ingredients and wonderfully fresh and fragrant herbs. Biscuits and gravy was my choice and very rewarding. In the Doe Bay Resort. The cafe is at the bottom of road in the back. You can sit at the edge and overlook the bay. Worth the trip out to Doe Bay

I saw signs all over for this cafe but when we got there we saw signs saying it was a private club. Super disappointed. If this is not the case you need to make the signage say the cafe is open to all. I was too angry to take any pictures.

Yelp
My husband and I love the cafe, and it is a must do on every trip to Orcas. The food is delicious, creative without being pretentious, and always full of the freshest ingredients including produce from their own garden. The view is magical and the whole restaurant has a warm and inviting feeling. I always let out a big sigh when I arrive. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Honestly, while we frequent most of the island restaurants, this one is probably our consistent favorite for all the reasons stated. I often wonder why Doe Bay often slips under the radar while other Orcas restaurants get more attention, and maybe it's the location which is on the far side of the island. But, the drive is not that far, lovely and worth it. Definitely put it on your next itinerary and definitely make a reservation ahead, they do fill up.

Yelp
Taste the freshness. The harmony of flavors is so good we wanted to lick the plate. Restaurant is a bit fancy but service was great. Get a table outside and enjoy the views. Stroll through the gardens where the vegetables and beautiful flowers grow. Kids got buttered pasta with some veggies and Rainier cherries. Little one picked up the pasta bowl and insisted there was "soup". Great overall experience.

Chewie N.

Yelp
Great view of the bay and good food averaged down due to sub-par service (service with an attitude). I've visited a few times now and every time my experience is about the same. This last time was the worst. It was hardly busy, I was one out of five patrons. Bummed.

Mike M.

Yelp
I have not eaten here. That is because, after calling and emailing with no response to ask for a reservation, we stopped by the Cafe on a Saturday morning. We were assured that there was availability for that evening and our reservation was logged into the reservations book. However late that afternoon we received a call that they would not honor the reservation. Super lousy customer service.

Shari D.

Yelp
Excellent food and service at the Doe Bay Cafe. We were delighted with everything about this restaurant. We had two wonderful specialty cocktails. We shared the halibut, zucchini and tomatoes. We also ordered the olives as a appetizer. Everything was phenomenal. The sauces and the herbs made everything delicious.

This place is a gem of a find!! I really don't want to write about it because I selfishly want it to be my own place!!! But, dang it...here I go... First of all, the journey to this lovely house of food and drink is unlike anything else you've driven to and completely worth the trip! If anyone asks you "why did you drive 90 minutes from Seattle, hop on an hour long ferry, and drive another 45 minutes to this restaurant?" Well then, just take a few pictures of your food, your beverage and the view and tell them to figure it out. You/they will freak out!! I love food. I love beverages. I love the San Juan Islands and I love the Puget Sound!! All this, together in one place! My wife and I got the spinach salad. Amazing. We also got the homemade caviatelli pasta as well as the pork chop. Holy smokes. I want it again tonight!! You need to go to this place. The vibe is lovely and the staff is lovelier!! After dinner, if the weather is nice, go outside and sit on the chairs and stare at the sea!! Such a lovely way to finish off the evening...and then, enjoy a lovely drive home!!! Enjoy! Tim

A little out of the way, but the dining experience was well worth the drive. Service was a tad slow, but where else do you need to be on Orcas Island?

Crabcakes Benedict. Amazing. The food here is incredible. View is chill. Nice place. You could easily get lost here for a blissful week. This whole resort is kind of on the old school chill hippie side that's rarely seen anymore. It's awesome.

Great spot, great food, great service. Been there two times. Last time had an issue with one of the dishes, they went way way above and beyond to make it right. Rad peeps over there. Also, and this is huge - they don't serve that super fruity, sour third wave coffee! It was strong and actually tasted like coffee! Hope they keep that up as it's critical. I do wish they had a few more egg dishes on the recent visit, but still a great selection.

Went to dinner at Doe Bay the night after going to Hogstone and as good as Hogstone was, we thought this was the place that deserved the awards. * Fantastic setting * Great, local ingredients * Creative preparations * Awesome, friendly service Will be back next time we're on Orcas!

The highlight and crown achievement of our Orcas trip. It was my birthday and we rolled in for brunch around 1pm. I started with a bloody mary that was spicy, thick and stocked up with garnishes. Boyfriend had coffee with cream and raw sugar. We took a long time to decide on entrees, the server was patient and knowledgeable. I asked about getting salmon benedict without kale and she offered that it might taste less-than because it was missing a crucial ingredient but ultimately left it up to me. I got the traditional breakfast and the rhubarb rolled oats and my boyfriend got salmon benedict (with kale) and we planned to share. When the food arrived, we were happy with how it looked. The atmosphere of the restaurant was rustic and natural but clean and simple. It was such a perfect meal. The potatoes on both breakfasts were (we think) fried to get a good crisp and then baked or roasted to get a softness to them. They were really well prepared. Salmon benedict was a tad salty (but so is salmon in general), the biscuit was homemade, the hollandaise was a calabrian chile and had a nice warm smoky heat to it. Eggs were perfectly poached and we devoted at least a full minute to appreciating how well they cooked the eggs. On the ferry, one of the magazines advertised some fancy shmancy restauraunt with a "chef and food practioner" which seemed like a trumped up charge. This cafe earns it. This chef deserves a fancy title. My two eggs were over medium and dreamy. Oh and my biscuit came with a tiny pat of butter (which tasted higher quality than regular, maybe it was Kerrygold?) and a strawberry jam. The oatmeal was served with a few mandarin slices in syrup. The clotted cream and rhubarb reduction were excellent. I devoured everything in front of me. And because I had leftover strawberry jam, I poured it into my oatmeal. EXCELLENT. Oh also one last bit, the cafe allows you to tack on the hottub passes ($15/day per person) to your meal. Cole said, "I wish more places offered that." Breakfast and a hottub! Not a single complaint. Natural light, lots of windows for the bay, close to the spa, excellent food, quality ingredients, knowledgeable service and cooking skills. YUM.

I visited Doe Bay Cafe two years ago and the management provided a comment card so I let them know my halibut filet was was served dry. I didn't send the fish back because they were very busy. On the card they asked for my contact information but I never heard back from them and so I've never understood the point of their comment card exercise. But I thought I this trip would give them another try. Their open mike night is not to be missed for a wide variety of entertainment. When I saw lamb's liver pate' on the specials menu I jumped on the opportunity. I love any pate' and especially love lamb. While my order was in for the pate' I also ordered a Manhattan cocktail. The bartender who mixed my cocktail intensely surveyed the space around me and avoided eye contact as if her life depended on it. Five times a jilted lover? Been a waitress too long? Sick of tourists? Who knows, when you're seated alone it's nice to at least get a smile and a greeting but she wasn't being friendly at any cost. The very tasty drink was delivered in total deadpan, minus any fanfare or eye contact welcoming this vacationer who's looking forward to interacting with the locals. Although the place is empty at this point - it's only 5p, the pate' arrives too soon (I just started drinking my cocktail) and the accompanying toast has an unmistakable black char on it (see photo). I try to dig in but get an overwhelming burst of bitter on my pallet. There was some kind of oil or honey looking drizzle on the pate' and I couldn't decipher what it was because of the bitterness from the burnt bread. There was a second and unjaded, friendlier server who took my food order and seemed new to the job. She comes over and asks how my meal is. I point to the the burned bread that pretty much tells the story. She immediately agreed to return the order to the kitchen for a second attempt to make unburned toast, but sadly the second round of toast was still overly charred and not browned. Meanwhile, blank robotic bartender server #1 who wouldn't say hello or make eye contact curiously stares and surveys my plate from across the room saying nothing. That was creepy. At this point I'm thinking can they not adjust the broiler or salamander flame? Can they not move the rack farther away from the flame? Again, it's early and the place is nearly empty so there's plenty of time to do this if one cares. By now, enjoying the taste of my Manhattan is ruined in trying to compete with burned bread bitterness on my pallet. Instead I chose the cornmeal encrusted snapper that came with a small portion of slaw and pickles but no starch or grain (When I asked a person sitting next to me at the bar how they like their ribs they said fine, except they wish it had come with a grain). The snapper was fine, I enjoyed the southwestern style tartar sauce underneath and the pickles and slaw that it came with. The snapper could have been cooked faster, hotter and been left less dry. After all, this is a prime location for fresh seafood. But this seems to be the only way they know how to serve fish here...on the dry side, not unlike the temperament of the bartender who may need a vacation from the vacationers.

Was the place a little odd overall? Yeah. Was my server really really high and overly hipster? Expected. Was the food outstanding? Yes. Really it's the food. You're at Doe Bay, so the service should be expected to be a little odd as should the decor and the style. But the food is amazingly good. We went for the Sunday brunch and it was well worth the 45 minute wait for a table. I had the eggs and hash and the fiancée had the biscuits with mushroom gravy (best she's had, apparently). The hash was fantastic and the fruit we shared was also delicious and fresh from the island. Point is, leave your expectations of five star dining at the door and just go for good food. Your taste buds will thank you...

We sat next to a window overlooking Doe Bay and had a delicious dinner, fresh from the Doe Bay garden. Sauces were all wonderful: roasted rainbow carrots with cashew cream, freshest salad ever with fantastic dressing, scallops seared over creamy, buttery polenta with fresh corn, homemade cavatelli with fresh garden vegetables. Wonderful!

The only reason this restaurant gets a four is because at night you have to get a reservation. If you don't then you are tossed out on the deck. The deck was not bad. It was actually very pleasant. During breakfast no reservations are required and it was quite lovely.

Aaron D.

Yelp
The most fantastic meal I could have hoped for on night 1 in this picture-perfect island getaway. The prices were high but accurate to the quality and freshness of the meal. I'll be eating here again...like tomorrow.

Jake W.

Yelp
Great food, seasonal and delicious. Parfait was legit, root vegetable hash was amaze, and they even had some decent beer on tap. This made for a very nice brunch. Minus the single black hair I got in my food, but ya know, it happens. Otherwise, I'd be back minus the remoteness of the island.

John M.

Yelp
This place is really out of the way depending on where you are coming from. You have to ferry across to an island and then drive to the other end of said island. Its not expected. In the times I have dined here, it might reflect the best dining experience I have had in the state of WA. (considering I mostly only dine in King county area) Stayed in a cabin at the Doe Bay resort. This cafe could be considered the resorts restaurant, or anyone is welcome. Since we wanted relaxation and massages and quiet, it was AMAZING to be able to dine every single meal here for 3 days. They have a breakfast / brunch and a dinner menu. Both are innovative farm to table affairs that change daily. Knowing the menu would be 100% different within a few months, I actually plan on tracking back to the end the road this place sits to dine 2-4 times a year as the menu changes. I would stay in the resort just to be able to dinner / breakfast this place in one drive out. The food was so good, if the resort didn't have cabins available I would sleep in a tent to camp that lovely cafe food. Everything is fresh and subtle - sometimes decadent (nods to French toast and flame toasted caramelized oven baked grapefruit) The salads so exciting even non salad people will enjoy. Go tapas style and order more dishes. I recommend at least 1 selection from each menu section as a course for 2 people. Do it! Drive there.

True farm to table ingredients, one of the nicest places on Orcas besides Hogstone. Had live music on a Monday which was a nice touch.

Spot Shrimp and grits! need I say more? We got here at the tail-end of lunch on a Saturday afternoon. They serve until 2. The service was like we were there at noon, not a "we close in 15 minutes so you'd better order" attitude that I have experienced elsewhere, but laid back and not rushed at all. We had Bloody Marys, I had the prawns and he had clams. Both had some kind of sweet, slightly spicy red pepper roasted and incorporated in the dish. i am pretty sure they were grown there. They were delicious. We looked out of the window and there were nude swimmers in the bay. There is a clothing optional spa/soak on the property but it was closed to the public that day due to some kid of festival. or we would have joined them. You could not swing a stick without hitting an intricate tattoo or a man-bun. This is a beautiful place.

Wonderful dinner. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the live kitchen. Friendly staff, knew their food. Had a perfect pasta and a braises pork dish. Warm and comfortable atmosphere. Perfect small menu, attention to detail lends to great food. It's a must stop for the island. You will not be disappointed.

WOW, what a setting! Gorgeous location on the water at the far Eastern end of Orcas Island, this restaurant serves tasty veggie-centric food. We had a terrific breakfast on the deck at Doe Bay Cafe. Everything on the menu here is veggie-gourmet, and spendy. After browsing some previous Yelp reviews, I decided to go with the breakfast burrito: two eggs scrambled, cheddar, black beans, garden greens & smoked mushrooms, tomatillo sauce, cilantro-avocado cream, salsa fresca and pickled red onions, rosemary-garlic cottage potatoes ($14). Good stuff! The best part of dining here was spending time in the beautiful island resort location-- I'd come back just for that!

You can get anything you want at Doe Bay Restaurant Walk right in it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Doe Bay Restaurant --Sing it Arlo!! Doe Bay Café is AWESOME!! Going there was like stepping through time and space to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant in 1968! The food was all organic, vegetarian and awesome. Folk music played loudly. Hippies were everywhere. The lady in the next booth to us even looked like Arlo Guthrie! I highly recommend you visit Orcas Island. It is peaceful and beautiful. When you do, make sure your visit includes a meal at Alice's Restaurant ...er... I mean Doe Bay Café!
