Sweet Retreat & Espresso

OMG! So I stopped for a hot drink and felt like grabbing something to eat real quick. I ordered the burger and was blown away by how delicious it was. In addition to this they gave the best service ever! David your the best! if your on the island make sure you stop by and David will take care of you :)

Amazing breakfast sandwich. So much flavor. The malts are also amazing. Loved it all.

The cafe across the street recommended me this place and told us that they had really good low priced food and they were right, 7 dollars for a sandwich is a great price. The service was also amazing the guy working there was funny and nice. Thank you I’ll be coming back.

Genuinely good guy running a genuine business. Prices are shocking low. I got food here 2x in a row, breakfast burrito and fully loaded burger. Perfection

The customer service was amazing along with the ice cream. The staff were very friendly along with opening up the awning to block out the sun. The ice cream was great. Makes sense why this place is so busy!

You must order his secret sauce. Best value in Friday Harbor. Dave is beyond cool and love his food and greetings.

Fresh - made to order breakfast
Small place tucked in the main street of Friday Harbor. Great breakfast sandwiches made to order using fresh cracked eggs. Outstanding service and value.

Awesome customer service with great personalities from both people who served us. Also a little side note, if you are avoiding dairy they will totally take care of you. Also it is worth taking a Lactaid and ordering the Amazing tuna melt! Coffee options are also Great with custom orders happily provided. Thanks for a great start of our day on the island!

Stopped by walking and was the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had, spicy with perfect eggs. Coffee and smoothies were tasty, they had to close for lunch due to lack of supplies, no surprise the food was incredible and the shop is so small probably hard to stock it all. Will definitely return

I chose this place because of the price and Google recommendations. It absolutely did not disappoint! The meat lovers breakfast burrito with chipotle mayo is fantastic. One of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had. With so many overpriced breakfast options in Friday Harbor, this one has great food and won’t break the bank. Note that it is a walk-up window with no indoor seating, but there’s a few cozy tables and chairs right outside.

Good food with 5 star service! The big dog, burger and turkey wrap were flavorful and fresh. The staff was super friendly and helpful if you need recommendations with ordering.

Dave is amazing. He makes the best potato salad using his secret recipe. If you are one of the lucky ones that get to experience it, you will not be disappointed. Local family owned and operated, Dave is the owner and makes this himself. My mom is in love with his kraut dog and potato salad. This is a must stop for us. Thank you Dave, you and Sweet Retreat ROCK!

First telltale sign a place is good is the line. Check 1! There is a line. Next is when locals visit it. Check 2. Lastly when they serve DCR coffee beans. The perfect trifecta! Service was great and they looked like they loved what they were doing! Coffee is a must! If you want a breakfast sandwich that’s your place. They also serve lunch, ice cream and Hawaiian shaved.

Our go-to stop for breakfast burritos! Friendly staff. Our pup loves 'em too!

Everything is worth the line/wait. Honestly, it's hard to believe everything is so good with a few pieces of low techequipment. The food was pretty amazing . I also got a fresh fruit smoothy that was incredible. This is probably the best breakfast spot in town.
There isn't a lot of room to sit and eat, so we walked to a picnic table across the street

Breakfast sandwich is amazing, not your typical microwave or frozen panini press sandwich. Fresh made on what ever bread you want, I had the croissant, it was amazing. Wish I would have known about this place sooner, also wish there were more places like this on the main land, I'll be dreaming of this breakfast tomorrow. Currently debating running back to get another one and possibly missing the ferry.

One of my most favorite places to eat on the island. There are breakfast sandwiches or to die for and are the best on the island for sure! drinks are delicious and always just the way i like them. the staff is always very welcoming and friendly.. They do an amazing job. All their food is made with love and great attention to detail, you can just tell by the way everything they make, tastes! Highly recommend!!

This place is amazing! When you show up your greeted with awesome energy from the employees and the owner, Get the gyros! Don’t forget the hot sauce! It’s kind of a must have on it! Shakes are also really good! Highly recommend this place to everyone who hasn’t been here before!

Good things come in small packages. This small place tucked in the ally should not be overlooked. I got a cheeseburger on gluten free bread and it was fantastic. Big thick beef patty with legit lettuce and tomato, not some pale wilted stuff. Service was quick, prices were good. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of their excellent menu. Breakfast options look good too.

The best place on San Juan island/ Friday Harbor for a breakfast sandwich or burrito and coffee. Lunch is fantastic too. My go to place anytime I come to the island.
