Best Coffee in Sequim

Rainshadow Cafe is one of the best all-around coffee spots in Sequim. It’s right downtown and works whether you want a full breakfast or just a good cup of coffee.

Reddog Coffee is a great grab-and-go option. It’s quick, reliable, and perfect if you’re heading out early.

Go to Rainshadow if you want to sit and relax or grab a bite to eat. Choose Reddog if you’re on the move.

Best Lunch Spots

Rainshadow Cafe is also one of our go-to lunch spots. It’s central, easy, and consistently good.

Old Mill Cafe is another local favorite just a couple minutes from the farm. It has a classic small-town feel and is a great spot if you’re looking for something hearty, casual, and welcoming.

Tip:

Make a reservation. It’s a small space and fills up quickly.

Best Spots for Beer and Wine

For something close, Angeles Taproom in Port Angeles is an easy win. It has a great selection of beer, cider, and wine in a relaxed setting.

If you’re looking for something more wine-focused, Stymie’s is a great option. It leans more toward wine and small plates, making it a nice change of pace from breweries.

If you’re up for a scenic drive, Port Townsend has two excellent stops:

These are best as “worth-the-drive” stops if you’re exploring beyond Sequim.

Tip:

Beer lovers—Angeles Taproom arguably has one of the best Washington-focused selections around, with both rotating drafts and a huge lineup of cans and bottles. If sour or saison-style beers are your thing, Propolis is an award-winning producer worth the drive. And if you’re chasing fresh IPAs straight from the source, Social Fabric is your best bet.

Port Williams is one of the easiest places to enjoy water views. It’s perfect for a quick stop, picnic, or just slowing down for a bit.

Dungeness Spit is more of an experience. It’s one of the most iconic landscapes in the area and great if you want a longer walk with incredible view
