My favorite coffee and breakfast spot on the island. Out of the way and local. Owner makes all baked goods from scratch. And they have panini and fresh challah on Fridays. There’s often a wait and service can be slow but we’ll worth it. Spotty hours sometimes.

City advice

Getting around

The 550 express bus takes you to downtown Seattle

Easy to use and you can park there too. If you plan to ride a few times, get an orca card. The card is good for ferries and light rail too.
Don't miss

Mercer island farmers market Sundays 10-3

Great fresh food. Lots of prepared goodies.
