Nice mocha and cute coffee shop with rustic vibes! Blueberry muffin was nice too. We are vegetarians and got the breakfast burrito without meat- it was okayish, would only get if no other option in town or running late to the Olympic National Park! (The photo has coffee from different cafe, but we also got coffee from here which was nice).

Had some insane mocha! Service was great! And wifi was strong. Was able to give my midterms here. The barista was sweet enough to let me borrow a pen to do some writing. Overall nice ambience and a chill place to hang out or work on your own thang!

This place will make coffee perfectly, meaning if you're used to large chains that put too much milk or pull espresso incorrectly, you might think they didn't do it right here. So just note you'll get a really delicious, well-made drink that may not match more commercial places! Staff is super friendly and helpful too!

Great Northern indeed — this place passes the vibe check and delivers on quality coffee. Stopped in Sunday morning for a drink and a space to read. Very short wait time and there was plenty of seating. Loved the stool/bar options and enjoyed the background country music. My drink itself was good — nothing special — and comparably priced to other shops. All around, a good experience.

I was visiting for the weekend, looking for the best coffee shop with the coolest vibes. Found this place online, read the reviews, and then read the owner response to the reviews, and I knew that this was the place for me. I've been chilling for a few hours. Cold brew coffee, bourbon sour before noon, and nice little scramble with some thick ass bacon. Totally delicious. Customer service is lovely, I've observed the place go from lull to busy quickly, and the employees responded in kind with grace. Love this place. Keep this up.

What a wonderful coffee shop and breakfast spot. Coffee drinks were great (mocha, cappuccino, iced latte and americano) and breakfast was delicious and made to order! The decor was a rustic and wooden classic feel and the atmosphere was cozy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of gluten free treats but no vegan ones.

Great breakfast and coffee options in the heart of Port Angeles. The breakfast burritos were stuffed and full of flavor. They are made to order which seems to be harder to find relative to other cafes in the area which have pre-prepared breakfast sandwiches. Service is quick and there is plenty of seating! Highly recommend!

One of my favorite locations to meet up with friends. This location seems to have it all. Atmosphere is perfect with great music that is at the perfect level. I have this location set as my go to spot whenever I am in Port Angeles. I have returned again to edit this post to inform anyone reading that I have had yet another great meal and experience here. This is a must visit location. And Happy Birthday to Mark the owner.
