This place is great, so many delicious items to choose from from such as sweet pastries with seasonal fruit, savory croissants, quiches (including salmon quiche!), and sandwiches later in the day. We arrived right at 8am when the doors opened, and the line was already 30 people long. It took us about an hour to get food and coffee. Many spots on the island are struggling to fully staff up - despite the wait it was a fun way to spend the morning! Talked to other travelers and locals, definitely a morning hub. It's very windy in Eastsound, so you may want to wear pants and have a coat on hand for the wait - even in the summer!

Oh! Glorious baked goods: let me extoll thy virtues! The craftsmanship and flavoring brilliance of these bakers is legendary. 15 minutes past opening and the line snakes out the door and down the steps—and for good reason. We sampled 4 or 5 pastries and were transported by each new wonder. The Orange Morning Buns are not to be missed. (Unless your fate is like ours, when we arrived 30 minutes after opening and the first batch was sold out. A sad and wasted day, indeed.) The balance of bright orange and subtle Vietnamese cinnamon is rapturous. I’m in love. My first taste of the almond themed Bear Paw and I fairly sang my joy. Oh, Good Lord, I rarely encounter such baking perfection. Rather sweet for me to eat the whole, but it was still delightful that evening. I’m confident Brown Bear closes 3 days/week for the good health of all of us who would find self-control a serious challenge were these offerings available every day. Thank you, sainted bakers, for your selfless consideration.

Good spot for coffee and pastries on the island. The case is full of tasty breakfast pastries and tarts. Flaky croissants are a winner. I especially liked the spinach and feta croissant. The koiugn amann is tasty but pretty rich and sweet. Tarts were not bad. I enjoyed the coffee here, although I always take it black.

The BEST croissant I have ever had. I can not believe how delicious the pastries are here. The coffee was also excellent. It was busy but we were able to grab a seat on the patio, which is so lovely.

Amazing pastries! Had to go back several times for the delicious tarts- berry and hazelnut chocolate. The tart apple croissant was flaky with just the right amount of lemon tart drizzle.

Great bakery on Orcas. Everything looks good and everything we ordered (savory and sweet) was tasty. Big fan of the Croissant Peche.

The owners and their staff took good care of us here! Although the shop is small and often busy, there was space for us at the baking bar both times we visited this weekend, on our visit on the island. The baking bar is what we call the spot with stools where you can watch them bake and make stuff! The second visit, we ordered a turkey avocado BLT. It was great, but we weren't expecting the spice level it came with! The owner asked us how things were, and upon hearing about the spiciness he immediately created a fresh replacement sandwich for us (my wife can't handle much spice). He even came by and brought us a nice big homemade trail cookie to thank us for letting him know, since it turned out they had made that batch of dressing too spicy and not to formula. The Tarte Citron was really good, great tang, and the cream on top cuts the tang perfectly. All in all, the prices here are a bit high but justified in my opinion. We'll be back!

Oh my goodness! I have no idea what kind of training the bakers have here at Brown Bear Baking but oh my! If I could lure them to Issaquah I would! The pastries are exquisite! I will be returning to Orcas for this place alone. A must try.

Popular local bakery with a huge variety of pastries. There was a line out the door the whole time we were there, but your patience is rewarded with wonderful treats. We tried a croissant, sticky bun, cookies, and a bear claw. There are some seats inside to sit down if you don't mind want to wait. Parking in downtown is free and you can't miss the big orange sign.

Melt in your mouth pastries with flavor combinations to make your tastebuds sing. The reviews for this bakery were great so we decided to try it. I was pretty sure it would be good, but had no idea it would be as spectacular as it was. We ordered different things and shared so that we could taste a variety of the pastries.. The pecan sticky bun ranked high with those I've had before; the spinach feta croissant was savory and tasty as I would expect...but...the Croissant Pêche was made with fresh peaches and was way above average...and the Orange Morning Bun was out of this world, melt in your mouth, taste bud bursting delicious! I've had other orange buns, but thus one blew them all out of the water...and the center was so soft and almost creamy that you just have to close your eyes and groan. A must try! The coffee is good too. 😉
