Taking the ferry over just for brunch at this place was well worth it.
Italian baked eggs were super yummy, and the Caramel Pecan French Toast which is a Food Network Favorite is a winner.... Who's counting calories when you got a mouth full of yumminess!!!!
For more reviews visit my blog.
I was visiting Seattle several days ago and decided to make the trip over to Bainbridge Island to get lunch here, per the suggestion of a friend.
I've heard rave reviews about their brunch, but unfortunately the only free time I had on my vacation for this visit was on a Monday, and they only serve brunch on weekends. However, I certainly was not disappointed with their lunch offerings. I decided to order their fish and chips. The fish was lightly breaded and not oily. Furthermore, the fish was only lightly fried, something that I prefer since some other restaurants fry their fish too long (to the point that the roof my mouth begins to hurt upon consuming the fish). The fries that came with the fish were fresh and crisp. The only negative of my order was that the accompanying cole slaw was very, very bland.
If you are not a fan of fish and chips, I would recommend you try the portobello mushroom ravioli.
The service here was just fine. They sat us quickly and did everything we needed in a timely manner.
Quick sunday ferry ride to Bainbridge island with my SO. Sunny, high 60's, windy, nice day out.
Nola was busy, albeit a few tables were empty, we had to wait for 15 mins.
Ordered: mimosa, greyhound, SO got the baked eggs, I got the dungeness crab sandwich with fries. I can't speak for the SO's dish, but she said it was good and ate all of it, so that's a good sign.
The dungeness crab crab sandwich was delicious, perfect amount of tomato, generous amount of crab nicely seasoned on a ciabatta bread. The salad was nice and refreshing but I really wished there could be more. The fries were thickly cut and weren't that great (i like crunchy fries more).
My SO's mimosa seemed tiny... Also noticed a lot of people ordering the bloody mary's so maybe that's their signature drink? Anyhow both of us don't drink that, so I guess we'll never try it.
Overall, nice relaxing place with good food and good service.
This is a very cute quiant cafe, my friends and I made up of a group of 16 came into the place with no reservations and were happily seated outside on a beautiful day where we could speak freely and at gps volume. There is a small bar inside where 5 of us were enjoying a predrink to our meal, we do get loud naturally (usually laughter), and were politely asked by the host to lower our voices and we madly oblidged. I mention this because sometimes when your just trying to have fun and enjoyna conversation the way you can approach someone can make or break a mood and the host was very gracious. It toon some time to order, as this was a busy brunch time and there were 16 of us. When we ordered our food it took a little bit to come out, likely due to having 16 ppl with us. The French toast was delicious! And so was the rest of the food. This is an experience you want to have when visiting the area!
Happened upon this place for lunch...shared a steak salad & the crab mac n cheese w/ my husband. Both were delish & perfect for sharing. They plated them for us (1/2 portions of each), we had good service, a nice glass of wine & the place was hoppin' by 12 noon (we arrived around 11:15 a.m. & it was quiet.
Interesting mix of people - tourists, local families, groups & individuals...considering we weren't sure what we were walking into, it was definitely a win!
Took the ferries, and walked around. We were heading to a place to eat but it was closed, tried a sushi spot, also closed, ran into Cafe Nola, and was happy we did.
I had the Vegi Sandwich, and it was delish, it had mozzarella cheese, onions, squash and zucchini, It was so good!!! Came with some good chips too. My boyfriend had the chicken sandwich club which was also very good. I had to steal some of his bacon. ;) The fries were fresh too.
I think if we go to Bainbridge island again, we will remember this place.
This place is SO worth the ferry* ride over! We've been there three times for brunch and it never disappoints ~ great place to take out of town guests.
While I LOVE their french toast (which they are known for), the last few times I've ordered the egg dish (changes seasonally) and have been very impressed. Yesterday, it was baked Italian Eggs with charred tomato sauce, spinach, two types of cheese and polenta. WOW.
Be sure to order a Bloody Mary, they're made from scratch and excellent.
Oh and added bonus, they're very kid friendly while not being a "typical" kid restaurant. By that I mean it's not a loud, obnoxious, hurried up experience with processed foods...The fruit plate they brought my son was a fruitarian's version of heaven. It's a real treat to be able to go out for a nice meal and have my 15 month old have a good (nutritious) time too.
*If you're coming over on the ferry from Seattle be sure to make a reservation otherwise there'll be a long wait.
Also, they're dog friendly and have an area outside the patio where your pup can hang while you eat...
I guess I should have come here for brunch. Then maybe I would be as stoked as all the 4-star reviewers here on Yelp. or maybe... maybe because I am from the PacNW's culinary mecca of Portland I expect more. ;)
I brought my mom (from Kingston) here for lunch while on the way to catch a ferry back to Seattle. We had ample time, so we stopped into Cafe Nola to grab what we had heard would be a gourmet lunch. The space itself is small up front, with what looks to be a larger area in the back (or at least some more seating). A plaque out front boldly proclaimed the restaurant to be listed on "Best Places NW". The menu looked divine. I was excited.
I sat down and perused the menu, and then I decided to check Yelp on my iPhone OK STOP... I know what you're gonna say... Don, why didn't you check Yelp FIRST?!? Ok, I am an idiot sometimes. Lets just leave it at that.
So I checked Yelp and found that the majority, if not all, of the reviews were for brunch. Uh oh. Did I wander into one of those places that totally brings it for brunch, but phones it in for lunch and dinner?
I think so.
My $17 dungeoness crab melt was marginal. It was on a super-thick focaccia bread, which was hard to bite though. The fries were ok, and the salad was tasty. I understand crab is not cheap, but the sammich was a touch above what I would expect from just an average restaurant, and the $17 tag made it that much more disappointing. My mom ordered the chicken breast club, which was pretty huge, and we got it with a bowl of house special soup on the side for a $1 or $2 upcharge. The soup had some funky spice in it that went straight for the back of the throat, which was pretty uncomfortable. Plus, the cup of soup was small enough to not warrant an upcharge over the pile of fries. it was pretty tiny.
The second half of the chicken breast club made its way into my backpack to be consumed later, and when I unwrapped it only a few hours afterward, I was confronted with chewy bread crusts and the distinct lack of quality club flavor. I am somewhat of a club sammich aficionado, so this was really disappointing to me, because it looked so tasty.
Overall, 2 sammiches and a glass of iced tea ran us $38. Granted there was an upcharge for soup and my crab sammiuch was menu-priced at $17, still, it was a tad rough to pay that much for what I would consider a mediocre lunch. Honestly, with the atmosphere, the quality of service, the look of the menu, and the brunch reviews, I expected much, much more.
In short, I would avoid for lunch unless you're not expecting much. Maybe brunch is where it's at. I hope so, since there's so many 4-star reviews here.
I was disappointed. With the food, not the company. :)
We are back on Bainbridge Island. We went back to Nola last night, I'm leaving the three stars the food was not spectacular. I had the Fillet Mignon, it really had no flavor. The scallops that two people ordered were not cooked through. Our Caesar salad with Dungeness Crab was good. We brought a Argyle Pinot Noir 2006 from Willamette Valley, very good. I do hope that they tune things up in the kitchen, we do like the service and that we are treated very kindly every time.

It was our third or fourth time at Nola, one of the in-laws favorite place to go on the island. I… Read more »
I should preface this review by saying that I think it would be hard for this restaurant to live up to two years worth of hype in my mind. Literally, I've been trying to go here for two years now. Something about it being on Bainbridge, though - it's always, "Too rainy," "I missed the ferry!" "But Macrina is right *here.*" Finally, finally, I made it out on our admittedly pretty convenient transport system to try the notorious Cafe Nola brunch.
We shared the huevos rancheros and the infamous French toast. The French toast was your picture-perfect home-style French toast, served with bacon, syrup and made to the right level of fluffiness. The pecans add a nice crunch but otherwise I'm not sure there's anything special I'm writing home about. The huevos rancheros came presented as a giant, unrolled tortilla filled with chorizo, beans, rice and avocado slices. The avocado slices were a lovely touch - you definitely can't get those on just any serving of huevos in this area.
In general, Bainbridge is great as a day trip. I'd recommend the whole experience to someone looking to spend a staycation type day close to home but also feeling like being removed from one's life in favor of being in a resort-like town. Nola is a lovely addition to one's "I'm vacationing" type itinerary. (One or two of their themed Bloody Marys certainly doesn't hurt that!)
So, yeah, after all that, Nola is pretty good. Is it worth pining over for two years? Would I hop on a ferry jut for it? Maybe not - Seattle sets a very high brunch bar and so I'm going to stick with a solid four and not five stars on this one.
We made a beeline for Cafe Nola to grab a late brunch on the touristy stretch of Winslow Way. The interior of the place is elegant and cozy. Tables are limited, so reservations are a good idea. I had no problem making one 2 hours before we wanted to eat.
The mimosa was only okay, but the caramel pecan french toast served with orange bourbon butter and bacon on top more than made up for it. The onset of food coma was apparent when I nearly exploded just by being asked by the waitress if we wanted dessert.
What a great meal to kick off the day of shopping, walking, and being touristy on the island!
Had brunch at Cafe Nola this morning - outstanding!! The place was packed, get reservations for sure.
I had the eggs any style platter with bacon, potatoes and toast - there's not much to say except AWESOME! One of the best breakfasts I've had. Nothing super fancy, just quality food that tasted damn good.
I'd love to go back for dinner sometime!
went on a ferry trip for brunch here w/ girl friends. it was fabulous~ outside on a sunny day on their patio - w/ bloody marys & delicious breakfast~
I had the southern biscuits w/ hickory smoked bacon, eggs & cheese w/ tomato jam, potatoes, & fresh fruit.
my girl friends ordered the eggs benedict florentine & french toast...mmmmm.
ambiance and food and company were the trifecta!
Cafe Nola has a nice atmosphere that is a little more upscale, perhaps, than some of its Winslow competitors. The service has been fair both times that I ate at Cafe Nola. Saturday brunch was fair. I was intrigued by their version of a Mexican omelette, because a friend from Mexico with me did not recognize it for what it was supposed to be.
I find that for a few dollars less you can get comparable to better meals elsewhere on or near Winslow Way.
I am easily placated when I'm swiftly served a glass of wine, but this place was ridiculously slow. We had a reservation, but our table wasn't ready. We went to the bar and found there was no one there to take our drink order. Fine, our table was ready in about 10 minutes.
After ordering the wine, it took another 10 minutes for it to be delivered to our table. Okie dokie.
The food was solidly uninspired. I had a Greek salad with lamb chops. Fortunately I ordered the meat very rare because it came out medium. Same with my hubby's NY strip. Any more cooked, I would have sent them both back.
I am a dessert fanatic. They were sold out of most of the desserts... bummer. We ended up with a slice of chocolate cake. It was good, but not fabulous. The dessert wine we ordered was actually the highlight of the meal, but dammit, I didn't write down the name of it!!
The restaurant is super cute. I like the casual yet refined vibe.
All-in-all, Cafe Nola got the job done, but was nothing to write home about.
Egh. I thought Cafe Nola was just so-so. For sure not the best meal I had I Seattle. I had a chicken sandwich which was forgettable. Noting more than anything that I could really make at home. Their food isn't bad, just pretty pedestrian. I'd probably try a different restaurant on Bainbridge next time.
Our first night in Seattle - we had to have salmon, and this place was recommended. Pretty good, the second best salmon we had in a week of eating almost nothing else. The atmosphere is good, although I can't recommend the service, as the waiter was fairly lackadaisical and appeared barely to be bothered to deal with us. Given the prices, you expect better service than we got. I'd certainly still recommend the cooking, though, as the salmon was fresh and cooked just as we like (barely cooked at all).
Maybe we didn't order the right things- we went on the lunch route..and I'm sure the pecan french toast is as mind-blowing as everyone says, but lunch just didn't blow me away. I shared a salmon sandwich and a chicken club with my boyfriend..and both were just ok and priced about 2 dollars more than they really should be. A nice patio though.
Although I was disappointed not to have the opportunity to stuff my face with challah bread drenched in an Orange Bourbon Butter sauce, our lunch of fish and chips held its own admirably.
The restaurant was quite busy, but we were seated after only a short wait. Mere minutes after we ordered, large golden battered pieces of flaky cod without a hint of "fishy" taste (just the way we both like it) were brought to the table. Our fish was plated alongside thick french fries and a serving of cole slaw with generously cut veggies splashed with malt vinegar. I even dipped my fish in the tartar sauce, which in general I find revolting, but this one had a sweet pickle-like flavor that I really liked.
Cafe Nola is a very sweet little restaurant and a perfect place to enjoy a meal after the quick ferry ride over from Seattle.
Cafe Nola is another restaurant on Bainbridge Island that is very good. My favorite entree at Cafe Nola is their Burger... don't laugh, but it is a VERY good (a lil pricey) but worth it burger. The service is consistently good and they are very attentive to water glasses being full all of the time (the sign of great service). If you are on Bainbridge Island you must try Cafe Nola. If you have children I would recommend Docs or That's A Some Pizza down the street.
Ok, so for starters, I need to make something clear. When it comes to breakfast, I'm not usually a sweets kind of guy. Breakfast is the reason God invented eggs. And bacon. And hash browns. But after hearing all the fuss, I figured, "What the hell... When in Rome..." And thus I ordered the oft praised French Toast.
It was absolutely. The most. Incredible breakfast. I've ever had. EVER. After practically licking my plate clean, I was oh-so-tempted to order another plate but I knew I was expected to walk around Bainbridge the rest of the day and realized my companions would not appreciate it if they were forced to roll me through the farmers market. And even upon that realization it still took every ounce of self control I had not to get seconds.
I also had a bloody mary following breakfast as we allowed our meals to settle. This too was amazing. I'm not much of a bloody mary guy either, but I needed something to balance all of the sweet, sugary, buttery goodness that was digesting in my stomach. It was excellently prepared. Stiff, but not too stiff. Spicy, but not too spicy. Just right.
The service was outstanding as well. And a bonus point to Cafe Nola for hiring some really, and I mean REALLY, cute girls for their staff. Not only were the great waitresses and hostesses, they were also very easy on the eyes.
And I guess I got really lucky with the crowd, because I went on a beautiful Spring Saturday morning around 10:30 am and was seated immediately.
All in all, an incredible dining experience.
I've been to Cafe Nola on several occasions and always take out-of-town guests there for dinner after an evening of walking around Bainbridge.
I've had about every fare you can there (pasta, steak, chicken, seafood) and everything has been top-notch. I'm pretty picky with my food, especially when I'm paying a decent amount for it. (Don't get me wrong, I appreciate grease bombs after a night of drinking, but that's a whole different thing).
The atmosphere is quaint (you'll forget Seattle is just a short ways away), the neighborhood is charming, and the food is fantastic. If you're spending an evening in Bainbridge, you won't want to skip Nola's.
My standards for restaurants in the Northwest seem to be pretty inflated, but I realize we're dealing with a whole 'nother animal here.
Cafe Nola is one of three hot spots for Sunday brunch in the town of Winslow. The wait, as with Doc's Marina Grill down the street, was over 45 minutes. Luckily Nola is right around the corner from cute galleries and a coffee shop.
At first I wanted to go to Doc's Grill because the menu sounded succulent and the website promised Attitude, which sounded weird and refreshingly 7th-Grade.
But my friend Sarah insisted we escape the pugnacious punishment and fried food by going to Nola instead. Their menu had looked unappetizing to me beforehand but I was pleasantly surprised by the salmon sandwich accompanied by the savory aoili spread, homemade french fries and a helping of fresh lettuce and onions. Major points for having good lettuce. Sarah got a Bloody Mary which looked gross. And her omelet looked boring. The bread, however, was fantastic.
Except for the long wait, our service was prompt and extremely agreeable. The sunshine streaming in through the windows didn't hurt either.
great brunch place. Next time I would make a reservation to sit outside. Good Bloody Mary.
Waits are longer after the Food Network special w/ Giada but it really is worth it.
I am a sucker for anything with a hollandaise sauce and cafe nola delivers. After leaving SF I started searching for a great breakfast spot to replace Rudy's Can't Fail. Any cafe that serves fried steak for breakfast is well on their way there.
I remember this place when it was a one room terror, and one needed to bring a Twister mat to jockey for a table. In its favour was an excellent daily menu with fresh ingredients. The down side was they could be out of your favourite item if you didn't arrive early enough.
Fast forward a few years, and now Cafe Nola has undergone an extensive expansion and renovation. This alone is worth extra stars. There is even an outdoor section, though challenging to get into the real mood at a major Winslow intersection.
Nonetheless, the menu is diverse, service is reasonably quick and staff are accommodating. Not that they'll sit long enough to browse the accordion of baby photos, but they try to insert the personal touch when they can. As the esteemed Miss Mary Ann D. mentions in her review, the decor is much better than the austere Winslow Way Cafe. If one has to make a choice, choose Cafe Nola.
I am a fan and have been since my first visit. Mrs. Jeff d is also a fan so I decided to take her there for her birthday. When I called ahead to make my reservation (advised since the Giada and multiple Food Network visits) I asked if I had flowers or an Orchid delivered there if they would accept it for me since I was looking for the element of surprise. They said "no problem" so I was set. We stroll in casually late and were led to our table set in the back of the room with the Orchid (from Flowering Around - see review: (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and a card were already set on the table. Nice touch (made me look good).
Starter of Southwestern Crab Salad was excellent. Mrs Jeff d had the grilled Halibut while I enjoyed the Bacon Wrapped Salmon Fillet. Both were excellent (hers was a bit better but I will not admit it).
Dessert was a Lemon Cake with Raspberry sauce and powered sugar and a candle but, thankfully no singing.
Service was great and the dinner memorable. Just fantastic.
We're always looking for interesting things to do on our birthdays, and we had never (i) been on a ferry (ii) been to Bainbridge Island so we made the trek across to Cafe Nola for dinner. I need to totally recommend this as an experience -- it was excellent to take the ferry across from Seattle to Bainbridge, walk up to the restaurant, have a great meal, and then saunter back on down to the dock to head back to the mainland.
Cafe Nola has a great atmosphere, and the staff are fantastic -- we were made to feel right at home. The food was good enough; nothing out of the ordinary, but good. Prices were around what we'd expect for Bainbridge too. Well worth the trip.
"Cafe Hit or Miss"
As an islander, I am disappointed by the often mediocre and inconsistent food.
Such a shame that the food is nowhere near as good as the atmosphere.
Food is very often severely undersalted, and the service is equally spotty (ranging from warm and professional to clueless and adolescent).
When they are on, they are tasty and fun.
Great mojitos when it seems half the folks around here don't know what that is.
The fish dishes are always a hit , and the cesar salad is great.
Give a miss to anything classic: osso bucco, a simple pasta dish, a NY strip steak and coq au vin were all disappointing.
Brunch is generally a winner, the dishes are uninspired, but they can poach an egg and serve it dry. Halleluiah!
The patio is inviting in the summer, but think twice about that - fumes from passing traffic can be detrimental to your dining enjoyment at what is admittedly a pretty sparse "rush hour" here on Bainbridge Island.
Three stars: mostly adequate food, nice decor and warm if clumsy service.
French Toast is perhaps one of my all time favorites. So when Giada featured Cafe Nola's infamous Caramel Pecan French Toast... we knew we had to make a trip out West to get up close and personal..
We literally walked uphill in the wind, rain and snow to get to the place, but, oh, it made me want it that much more.
To start.. a window seat overlooking an adorable white church and a hot cup of fresh coffee. Mom ordered a Bloody Mary, and it looked so gorgeous, mine soon followed.
We each decided on an omelette served with fruit, salad, and toast. And of course, the plate of french toast to share.. Our server didn't quite get it, but, we were on vacation and we were ready to eat..
The omelettes were outstanding.. bloody mary's a little too peppery.. toast toasted to perfection.. and the french toast?..
..The thick goodness of grilled challah bread topped with pecans and drizzled with caramel, oh, and topped with bacon.. a side of syrup for dipping..
It was soft and hard and sweet and gooey.. I mentally checked all the "french toast requirement" boxes..
The perfect bite was from the middle, covered with butter, topped with a pecan and dipped in the thick maple syrup... the last bite was certainly bittersweet.
Oh, baby, was it good..
So go to Cafe Nola. I won't make you get the French Toast, but, if you don't...and regret it the next day... I told ya so..:)
FINALLY. I found my favorite place to eat in the Puget Sound area.
This is the cutest little cafe inside and outside! It was Sunday afternoon, and I highly reccommend making reservations! About a 20 minute for outside dining, and 45 minute wait for inside.
The menu ranges from a variety of delicious salads to hearty sandwiches with the best bread in the world! MMM. These were the BEST fries also! They are crispy outside, with a very distinct potato-ey flavor on the inside, and not greasy!
My favorite part about this place is that all the veggies are so fresh and high quality (I am guessing they are all local). I know that this resturant relies on fruits', veggies', bread's own flavor and freshness that they don't have to oversalt! I do admit, everytime I eat out, I always complain about how salty everything is...but this place...I was very happy and frankly, suprised that they didn't oversalt--definitely the first resturant I came across.
So if you're looking for the perfect day trip out to Bainbridge Island, this is the place to go for a light, healthy, satisfying lunch!
The BEST place to eat in Winslow, as far as I'm concerned. Cafe Nola is a little bistro on Winslow Way that has, well, your typical bistro flair. I've only had lunch there, and it has been worth it every time. The dishes are tasty, fresh, quick, and satisfying.
It reminds me of a bistro you'd find on the central coast of California, it just has that feeling to it. Very laid back, and gourmet dishes at a pretty small price. They also have a wonderful patio for outdoor dining when it's toasty out.
I recommend the grilled asparagus salad with the polenta croutons, if they have it. Sometimes salads aren't filling, but this one is the perfect size!
Cafe Nola is a wonderful place for brunch! Their green eggs and ham (eggs with pesto and blackforest ham) was wonderful. Their french toast is also a must try. The place can get pretty busy, especially on weekends during brunch, but this place is definitely worth the wait.
The chicken club I had here was respectable and refreshing in its use of high quality ingredients. Service was good, the room was pretty and clean, and the bill was very reasonable. No evidence of iffy service today and I would come back to Cafe Nola for another visit.
If you're doing a day trip to Bainbridge this is a great place to make a reservation for brunch. We found the service warm and inviting. But the most impressive part was the food. Collectively our table had, and shared, the french toast, florentine eggs benedict, crab eggs benedict, and salmon sandwich. All were delicious. While there is an extensive list of bloody marys, i was a little disappointed in the wine selection. I'd like to see them support their local Bainbridge wineries.
TIP: Make a reservation and if the weather is sunny request to sit outside.
Brunch is yummy.
Food if fresh.
Service friendly.
Omelets tasty.
Good place to start your day before a day trip over to Seattle.
Love this place, especially their French Toast made from Challah bread! I'd say it's the best french toast I've ever had. Friendly staff and a really cute cafe!
I took a morning trip to Bainbridge and heard of this place called Cafe Nola. it's a nice little restaurant on the main street (a little walk from the ferry building). loved it. i had the french toast. who would have thought of this combination, french toast and a nice slice of bacon. it was delicous. i also had an orange liquor thing. also excellent. a perfect mix. would go there again if i was in the neighborhood.
As somebody who lives on Bainbridge this is the LAST restaurant I would recommend to people. The food is OK (although they change seasonally and substitutions aren't allowed) but the service is the WORST. The manager, the wait staff, hostess have absolutely no concept of customer service. The attitude is "you're lucky you're getting to eat here."
After seeing this on several occasions I decided that they are no longer on my list of places to eat. Luckily, there are many other places on the island that don't have "attitude."
This was one of the more memorable places I've ever been to. I guess since I'm a CA native, dining outside of CA will make any place memorable, but the food here made it all the more memorable for me. Their French Toast is to die for... and nothing like what I'm used to eating. The fact that they use a different type of bread (I'm not sure what kind, but I believe it was some kind of Jewish bread) alone made the dish taste better. The Orange Sauce they used for the dish was terrific, and topping it off with a Cafe Latte made it even more complete. My date had a Crab Melt that was heavenly, and I think I might just travel here just to come here again sometime... The place was packed with people, which could be due to the fact that this place was featured on Food Network, so it's quite the popular attraction here. Another enjoyable part of this was that to come here from Seattle, you have to take a ferry ride, and that made it even more cool. I don't think I really have any negative remarks for this place, although parking might be a bit difficult to find on some parts of the day... The service was excellent, as our server paid attention to us and made some good recommendations. The patio seating we had was also really nice, for us to be able to check out the scenery and take in the fresh air at the same time... Try it out for yourself!
