While Seattle may be known as coffee central, our quiet island community is also all about the java. Pegasus Coffee is just one of the many Bainbridge Island coffee shops worth stopping in for a latte and a sweet treat. The old vine-covered brick building is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The covered outdoor seating area is perfect for a leisurely chat. You’ll be right next to the marina, which is the ideal post-treat stroll.
Pegasus Coffee is an iconic business on Bainbridge Island and a historic leader in the coffee industry in the Northwest. Founded in 1979 by David Dessinger, this shop is a hub for visitors and locals alike for a beautiful latté, delicious fresh-baked treats, brunch, and special events. They also recently expanded to the Bainbridge Island Art Museum with a small cafe open to the public with an expansive outdoor patio space. Perfect for an iced coffee on a warm afternoon!
