Not in this land of salads with stinging nettles — and they’ll charge you $20 for it. We are staying in a rustic cabin on the beach out of site and it’s still pricey. But not that pretentious resort pricey. Naturally my wife wants to go there sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share #14 Posted March 14, 2022 So just finished breakfast in Eastsound. Two cups of coffee… $10. On the upside, the high priced breakfast was delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted March 14, 2022 @Kirby what’s a cup of coffee going for in the city? I’m guessing over $5, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked out of a coffee shop there in Eastsound and commented...hmmm that was $6 for a medium coffee (with $2 tip) No tip next time. It was a nice coffee shop. Next time I'll ask for the McDonald's .25 coffee plus you got off season prices. Summer it'll be $10 for one cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted March 14, 2022 Share #22 Posted March 14, 2022 What does a breakfast of 2 eggs, pancakes, sausage, and hash browns cost? We can always make coffee in the room, and since I don't drink coffee anymore, it is a non issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted March 14, 2022 Share #24 Posted March 14, 2022 Where to Find Island Grown Foods ...you're on your own with regard to paying for them. It looks to me like a San Juan island hippie can make more money growing carrots, than growing marijuana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was not at the resort posted above. Also noted by @Scrapr shoulder season prices. It was at another hotel in town -- the only place serving breakfast Monday mornings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted March 15, 2022 Share #29 Posted March 15, 2022 We had one day of sun on the OR coast before the rain. I’m loving the rain. Going home to sun and temps in the low 70’s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t get photos of the storm, but could see the wall of clouds in the distance. I like the “blue hour” light in this snapshot. It’s day two of cold and rainy weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
