Combining the amazing ice cream from Lopez Island Creamery, with a homemade waffle cone that you can smell as you wait in line, this is nothing short of a worthwhile stop.

I'd be willing to bet that you've never experienced a better muffin...
Freshly made every single day in over 100 different flavors (about 20-30 available per day), these muffins will captivate your soul and fill your stomach as if you've just consumed a 3-course meal.
If you're heading west to tour around Anacortes, do yourself a favor and swing by to grab a muffin for your travels. And, for what it's worth, you might want to grab an extra for a snack later in the day or the following morning with your coffee.
The Bakery at The Store; with a product this good, you don't need a clever name 😂
