Welcome to Riptide Cafe on the waterfront, in the heart of Friday Harbor

While most visitors to San Juan Island come to decaffeinate from their daily grind, they also look for the best coffee for their morning ritual.

Riptide Café was created to provide San Juan Island visitors with the highest quality hand crafted coffee and espresso drinks. Using direct trade coffee from our partners at Stumptown Coffee, we craft every drink by hand with expertise and the attention to detail that makes ours a great cup of coffee.

Located just steps from the San Juan Island ferry terminal in the quaint village of Friday Harbor, Riptide Café is the only coffee shop along the Friday Harbor waterfront. Stop in to have a freshly brewed cup of Stumptown Coffee, sample our baked-fresh daily scones, muffins, and sweet breads highlighting natural and organic ingredients. Pair Friday Harbor’s best coffee with our in-house featured local baked goods from Bakery San Juan, Felicitations, andSeattle Bagel Bakery.

Riptide Café also features savory and filling spinach & feta quiche, and Seattle Bagel Bakery’s hot breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese, & bacon or sausage.  New menu items, featured baked goods, and savory treats are added daily.
