It probably comes as no surprise that Bainbridge Island is home to a wide array of cafes and coffee shops, each perfect in their own way for a cup of Saturday morning coffee or tea. Bainbridge Island, is after all, a mere ferry boat ride away from downtown Seattle, known the world over as the coffee capital and home of Starbucks. Yes, it’s true that you can pretty much find a Starbucks everywhere you go in Seattle. But, Seattle’s coffee scene is so much more than one coffee chain. It’s home to a thriving community of local coffee shops. Bainbridge is no different. One of our Island’s favorite Saturday morning traditions is to visit our local favorites. Perhaps when you stay with us at the Eagle Harbor Inn Petit Hotel, you’ll visit a coffee shop or two as well? Book your room at our Inn today, and come explore Bainbridge With us.
