Pelican Bay Books Coffeehouse

Cute book store with both a new used selections and an awesome little cafe where you can relax.

I love this place. My kids love this place. Yes, they're really only excited about getting a cookie and hot drink. They feel equally as smitten about the sticker selection. But once the pastries are eaten and stickers are sifted through, that's when we turn our attention to the thoughtfully curated bookshelves. I've really never had the chance to go farther than the kids nook, cafe counter and bathroom. The hallway to the restroom is lined with local artists work- I've had the pleasure of standing in this hallway many times while each of the children use the toilet they vehemently denied needing before arriving- and swoon over the charcoal figures before me. Lastly, the attention to detail; for the business cards are actually bookmarks placed neatly inside the book you have purchased. *Insert smiling emoji with a singular tear here*

We went there twice in the same day (late morning/late afternoon during our visit to Anacortes The place is really superb, the coffees excellent as well as the food (salty and sweet, which even changes during the day! . The staff are really lovely, we had a great time If one day I have the opportunity to come back to town, I will not hesitate to go back!

Who doesn’t love a bookstore with a cafe inside?! The pastries and coffee were to die for. SO GOOD. And I even bought a book! Stumbled upon this gem unexpectedly and it was a delightful surprise. This is a must go-to spot if your visiting.

Great coffee and excellent vibes in the bookstore section. Taking day trips to Anacortes is always fun, and this is a place I see myself revisiting when I come to town again.
