Beach Store Cafe

So glad we stopped in for a bite. Great food! Superb service and our food came out so quickly. Also a great view.

We stopped in and were not disappointed! The food is locally sourced and delicious. We had fish & chips and chowder. We will definitely be back, I want to try the pizza! It's walking distance from the ferry for the win.

Talk about an unassuming gem! The Beach Store Cafe completely blew us away. Since it’s the only restaurant on Lummi Island, we weren’t sure what to expect, but wow, were we pleasantly surprised. We went for dinner and sat out on the patio right by the water, which made for a beautiful, peaceful setting. The service was incredible! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. And the food? Insane. The fish and chips might just be the best I’ve ever had. I would go back just for those. All around, it was a phenomenal experience. Delicious food, amazing service, and a view to top it all off. Don’t miss this place if you’re on the island!

I alway try a restaurant several times.. And this one has been surprising me more often than not. 09/12/24 visit. I have been ordering out before this and don't update this then. Today however I looked at the menu and specials and ate in. The regular menu often has seasonal items and I have been waiting for the Island grown heirloom tomatoes. They are as always so good. Started with the Shititake Mushroom Tempora (I always order it when offered), then Heirloom Tomato Panaanella, followed by the Handmade Rotolo pasta dish. Finished off with Plum Brown Butter Crisp with Ice Cream. The plums actually are from a tree on the property which has historic significance. As always, I encourage you to try the specials.. (photos included) 11/25/23 visit. I have never had a birthday party, but I always treat myself to a restaurant that I know will make me purr. So of course I came here again. Had the Lummi Island Seafood Chowder which was brimming with smoked salmon & with Cod.. Added in were all the rest of the fresh ingredients making a great start to the meal. It was accompanied by herb butter and Gluten free French bread.. The pasta special had fennel in it, and again I trusted his culinary skills (I generally dislike fennel) and it was Perfect . . Just the right flavor balance, and portion size. So I was a very happy man with a clean plate. Finishing off with Desert that is, as always, excellent. So I had the meal and great time there I desired! 9/17/23 visit. I don't like fennel, but I trust the Chef totally so I ordered the daily special Pasta dish which included fennel sausage.. And it was wonderful. He has an excellent balance to his dishes, and this one was as well. I actually had planned to take half of it home, but oops it was all gone. Couldn't stop eating it, as it's so rare that I enjoy a dish with fennel. Bravo. 4th visit: I really love their Arugula and Citrus Salad and now get it with each meal (when it is available). For the main I ordered one of the specials, Pan Seared New York Strip Steak with Asparagus, Haystack Potatoes (not my favorite type, but well executed), Bearnaise Sauce on the steak and Jus. on the Asparagus. Steak was perfect medium rare, Asparagus perfect and large portion. I then wanted the local Hillcrest farms Rhubarb & Strawberry's as a Crisp, but it was already sold out (good sign).. So I considered my other options and With Hesitation ordered the Flourless Mint Chocolate Torte w/whipped cream and a Candied Mint Leaf. For decades, every Flourless torte I have had was a disaster. HOWEVER, this one was spot on texture, good size and very good flavor.. Not overly minty, just a hint. It was so good that I ordered a 2nd to go. My compliments to the chef. 3rd visit: Arugula and Citrus Salad, with the Lamb and Pasta special. I don't often run into places that have a Lamb special, so will alway try it. This was very well prepared and I was purring. 2nd visit: The burgers looked good, so I ordered one with "greens" instead of the fries. The "greens" and dressing were excellent and the burger was delicious, blue cheese on it was very good and all the rest of the fixings were as well. It had a nice grill flavor and was served piping hot. They also had a special that I would have gotten, but I saw no signage for it (I'll look / ask next time). So ask immediately so you can get it. It was a steak and looked great. There was also a very nice little group of musicians playing that evening. 1st visit: The cod (fish&chips) was good and moist. Portions of fish were good sized. Way too many fries (especially since they were limp). The place is popular though, and has a great view. Service was flawless and friendly.

We sat on the porch and enjoyed one of the most incredible views of Mt Baker along with some amazing food. I had the Chicken and Spinach salad and loved it. The best part was the chicken and how nicely crispy it was. The bacon was also incredible. The German beer options were also a nice surprise. If you’re going to visit Lummi Island, make sure to include a stop at the BSC!
