Pelican Bay Books & Coffeehouse 520 Commercial Avenue, Anacortes, WA 98221

"Best coffee shop in town; Second best book store in town. Great vibes all around. A great place to hang out solo or meet friends. The baked goods are divine. This store sells used books and much like any second hand store the selection can be a little hit or miss depending on the section you are browsing. Always worth a visit if you are nearby."

"Great coffee shop and baked goods. Great place to browse books by Author and subject. I got lost in the shelves and sat for ahwile in a chair in the back after having an excellent vanilla cappuccino. Definitely worth the stop!"

"If you have some spare time before your Anacortes Ferry departure, consider a morning walk along their Main St, (Commercial Ave) and once you hit 6th St. follow the locals and that wonderful aroma of fresh brewed coffee, (and tip the local musician on your way inside). The book store/coffeehouse combo works well here. Walls of inventory and assortment await you in two separate rooms. I loved the old wood floor as it creaked while you moved around the sliding book ladder. There are some tables to eat and sip in the adjoining room. Wonderful light entering the building. I had the Americano, the Figgy Bars, a slice of the Citrus Olive Oil Cake. Grabbed a couple of Rosemary Sea Salt Rolls to go too! Hey! You don't find this assortment of such unique and fresh pastries often, so ya gotta go for it right?! You should too, it's worth your time, and a sit. Support local and grab a book "to go" as well."

"Wonderful bookstore! Super happy place to go for a few hours, an afternoon, a lifetime. Pack an overnight bag. You'll want to stay. A seemingly endless selection of books, the shelves went on and on and on; floor to ceiling, room to room, a truly awe-inspiring experience. The books are arranged by genre, alphabetically by author, and then alphabetically (again) by book title. Very well organized, easy to find specific titles. There is a small cafe within the bookstore with refreshing beverages and snacks. You will need to keep your energy up as you explore this paradise for book lovers. Enjoy."
