Downtown Bainbridge Island, known as Winslow, is one of Washington’s most charming small towns. Within minutes from the ferry dock, you’ll find the Bainbridge Island Art Museum, the Alehouse, Eagle Harbor Winery, and plenty of opportunities for Bainbridge Island shopping, including many cute local boutiques. Not only is our downtown area completely walkable, but you’ll also love meeting the folks who call the island home, who welcome visitors with a smile.
Winslow Washington is a lovely hub filled with tasty stops like BaSa, a local favorite for Southeast Asian cuisine, and Blackbird Bakery, where visitors gather for coffee and homemade pastries. A stroll along the scenic Waterfront Trail offers views of the harbor, while Winslow Green is a central gathering place with shops and cafes.

The Perfect Day in Downtown Bainbridge Island
After settling into your suite or townhome at our Petit Hotel, you’ll be refreshed and ready to hit downtown Bainbridge Island. If you are wondering what to do on Bainbridge Island during your getaway, here’s a great itinerary for exploring Winslow Way:
- Start your morning at Pegasus Coffee; this long-time vine-covered coffee shop is an island staple, serving frothy lattes, cappuccinos, and freshly baked goods. Take your coffee to go and stroll along the Eagle Harbor Marina for stunning views of the sailboats and still waters of the harbor.
- If you’re looking for a hearty breakfast, make your way towards the Winslow Bainbridge Island ferry dock to the Streamliner Diner. For an old-school diner vibe, grab a vinyl stool at the counter and order generous plates of homemade fruit waffles or eggs Benedict. Don’t miss the homemade warm muffins!
- After you’ve filled up, walk down to the Waterfront Park. The short and easily accessible wooded path takes you along the water’s edge with views of old ferries waiting for repairs and kayakers gliding along the quiet inlet. For those looking to get in the water themselves, hit the kiosk at the City Dock for information on Exotic Aquatics and other rental options.
- Mid-day is a great time to enjoy some Bainbridge Island shopping! You’ll find it all here, from antique malls and apparel shops to natural markets and tea stores. Don’t miss Eagle Harbor Books, a classic book store with wooden plank floors, friendly, well-read staff members, and a great selection of authors from all over the globe.
- After you’ve dropped your haul from the shops in downtown Bainbridge Island off at the Inn and refreshed for a bit, it might be time to head out to the wineries along Winslow Way. There are three options for wine tasting within minutes from your suite: Eleven Winery, Fletcher Bay Winery, and Amelia Wynn Winery Bistro. All offer flights of their fantastic Washington wines right in Winslow Bainbridge Island!
- Pre-dinner, grab a craft cocktail at the Bar at Hitchcock made with house infusions, unique liquors, and exciting flavor combinations. Dinner options are vast in Winslow Washington, from Asian Fusion at BaSa to Northwest-focused cuisine at Agate Restaurant.
