Great vegan food. I was really excited to find a vegan restaurant in Friday Harbor and Mike's doesn't disappoint. Lovely selection of food and wine plus Mike and his staff were really friendly and welcoming. On our way back to the hotel we passed Mike on the street loaded down with bags of fresh veggies from the Saturday farmer's market. You've got to love that! Can't wait to go back on my next trip.
We are totally IN LOVE with Mike's at Friday Harbor!!! Everything is totally plant based, aka vegan. And I'm talking mouth watering burgers, messy lasagna, artichoke dip that's surely on a bar somewhere in heaven, the works. Do you know how rare it is to find such treasures? The place, the staff, the food...all far exceeding expectations!
My boyfriend and I celebrated Mother's day with his parents at this amazing vegan restaurant. 3 of the 4 of us are meat eaters, but we were completely blown away by the quality, flavour, presentation and ambience. The service was wonderful too - our server was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be visiting again when we are back to visit the parents. Can't wait to enjoy that sunny patio!!
My new favorite restaurant of all time!! The food was so amazing we ate here 2 days in a row! The BEST vegan pizza I have ever had! The Mushroom Tartine was incredible! The sweet potato tacos and burger were a hit with the kiddos. There were so many delicious menu options, I don’t think people would even know it was vegan unless you told them because the menu was so diverse and impressive. Don’t skip dessert, it was amazing! THANK YOU, MIKE!
1st time here after years coming to the island. Fantastic vegan food - and I'm a die hard meat guy. Pizza and salads just amazing. Really nice wine and beverage options as well. Dessert.. well....check it out
Deliciously exquisite and superb vegan and gluten-free cuisine served in a quaint historic building right in downtown Friday Harbor! The menu is diverse and creative with devine flavors. They have lovely indoor dining and two charming outdoor patios to choose from. This is definitely our first choice as a local. Our personal favorite dishes? Their Sweet Potato Tacos and both the Szechwan Sizzle and Thai Noodle Bowls.
SO! DAMN! GOOD!
They get busy because they are so good, even on Monday nights, so going early is suggested. They have a huge wine selection as well, but the amazing food is what draws the crowds. Excellent staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I ate here one time for an early dinner and enjoyed the food. The pita bread was the best I can recall having. The watermelon ginger water was also really good, it’s from a can not homemade but I’d get it again. I had the hummus plate and jerk jackfruit tacos. Everything was good but not excellent. Being jerk-tacos I would’ve expected more complexity and spices but the dominating flavor was the roasted red pepper aioli which tasted like crema. I came around 5 or 6pm on a Saturday and it was pretty packed. The bartender seated me quickly and was also my server. I don’t remember his name but he was really nice. I’m not sure how many plant-based options are on the island so it’s nice that Mike’s exists. I wasn’t wowed but would definitely come back and try more of the menu. It’s packed for reason, I’m sure one of the other options would wow me.
Caveat: We are not vegan or vegetarian. And yet, Mike's Cafe has some of the best food on the island. And definitely the best food on this side of the island hands down. The sweet potato tacos and buffalo chicken pizza were delicious. And my wife loved the thai noodle bowl. The sauces on the food are fantastic and the food is super fresh. They have good beers on tap and the service is good as well. Highly recommend giving this spot a try even if you're not vegan.
I love the atmosphere of this comfortable cafe with its beautiful tables inside and spacious outside seating. The menu is terrific and yummy and reasonably priced. for vegans, this must be a godsend! For a non-vegan like me, I enjoyed ALL the menu items I tried in the 3 times I ate there on my trip to Friday Harbor. And great wine list - try the limited supply left of the owner's wines in addition to the perfect other choices he has put on the menu. Highly recommend!
Such a great vegan restaurant! Try the cheese platter, mac n cheese, BLTA, any dessert, and the vampire slayer pizza! Friendly service and dog friendly outside! Plus, their wine selection is good :) Don't miss this place, vegan or not.
Soooo good! Don't hesitate to eat here. We got the sweet potato tacos!
Fantastic! Possibly the BEST restaurant in San Juan. Thai Salad and Eggplant Lasagna were perfection. Also, great value. Locally sourced ingredients (tomatoes, cucumbers...) are incredibly fresh, tasting like they were just picked. Service is super friendly. The owner, Mike was there tending bar and stopped by the tables to say hi and check on everything.
We had an amazing time at Mike’s! We love to eat vegan food and brought our brothers who don’t usually eat vegan - they were so impressed! The food was delicious - especially the mushroom tartine and the chocolate pie. Claire was our waitress and she was amazing - our kids were tired from the traveling time change and she brought them origami frogs and was especially attentive!
They have the best vegan food, absolutely loved their hummus platter and tortilla chilli soup.
Mike’s is one of the best places I’ve ever eaten. They really take the time to hand-craft special vegan meals that blend perfectly together; making for some of the most delicious food I’ve had vegan or not. The sandwiches are especially good, with perfect bites and texture. The BLTA is my favorite of those (and the Philly cheesesteak when you can get it!)
Always save some space for dessert, it’s also vegan and delicious. Dining in or takeout is great, Mike is super responsive on the phone and ready with recommendations if you need! I stop by at least once every time I come up to San Juan Island.
Terrific vegetarian find in Friday Harbor. Everything we ate was delicious with huge portions! Stand outs were the BLT with curried potato salad, the veggie pizza which we had with cauliflower crust, and the Thai noodle bowl. There was enough food to box up and take back to our hotel for breakfast! Would dine here again!
Take-out order review! My sister and I ordered take-out to take on the ferry back to Anacortes. Our order of 2 sandwiches was ready in 20 mins - fantastic! We split a Reuben and the Portobella Po Boy. Both were amazing! Though the Po Boy tasted on the salty side after a few bites. We both agreed that we'd order both items again. Green salad side was great - raspberry vinaigrette, sunflower seeds, and golden cherry tomatoes over mixed greens. Can't wait to visit again and dine in this time!
Food was amazing, best on the island and the staff is extremely delightful and welcoming to guests! Specially Mike's cafe owner Mike, Suzie the manager and Forest! Chef Dean and Josh to a fabulous job with the vegaj dishes that are unbelievable. Make sure you say HI to them.
A fabulous Vegan restaurant establishment in the island. Couldn’t ask for more in such a small town and surprisingly the food is amazingly delicious and people are kind. A must visit place when you’re in the San Juan islands.
Very cute atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The food and drinks were amazing. Good size portions, we shared the two bowls and still had plenty leftovers. Very friendly staff and good service. Also we didn’t realize this at first but it is a VEGAN restaurant.
LOVE this establishment AND the people! My husband and I wandered in mid afternoon and were greeted with friendly helpful service and the food was fabulous! We also sat outside in the back in a beautiful garden oasis complete with a cute water feature. We had chips and salsa-the lightest tastiest chips (not your ordinary) and oh so yummy homemade salsa with all fresh tomatoes etc. I also had the hummus plate. The homemade hummus was very tasty, naan was soft & warm and veggies were crisp like they just came out of the garden! We were on island 5 days, we ate everywhere and THIS IS THE BEST ON THE ISLAND! Oh, and it’s vegan too-even my meat eating husband LOVED it all.
