Guidebook for Port Townsend
Food Scene
Owners Heidi & Will are personal friends of ours, and this family friendly cafe just down the street has great breakfast and lunch food, as well as pastries & espresso. This is family run, meaning even the little people are "staff." Not for health nuts :) Not for people in a rush. This cafe gives all leftovers to the food bank, and is well loved by locals.

Local's favorite. Not your average pizza, and not for those who like NY style pizza. It's a one of a kind pizza experience with unique toppings (if you choose) and sometimes surly staff. They are the soup nazis of pizza. Get a slice for lunch and walk next door to the little beach, or sit upstairs and dine in.

We included this here because it's two blocks up the street and gets rave reviews, but we personally haven't eaten there in years because our 4yo wouldn't really fit into the more refined scene. French influenced, not budget friendly, from what we here and remember, very good.

Great food and atmosphere just 3 blocks straight downtown from the apartment. The best thing about Khu Larb is the atmosphere and close walking distance. The food is above average, but nothing amazing.

This is the family friendly more budget option for Thai food, and the option our family chooses to go to. The food is really great, and best for takeout because the dine-in is really utilitarian. This is the place locals go for Thai.

Drinks & Nightlife
Gastropub with great food, atmosphere, and often music in the evenings. We generally just go here for the Sirens Burger and sub the fries for the amazing house salad. On nice days we sit outside on the deck.

Essentials
The Co-op, if you're in to healthy food this is the place to shop. It's a full service grocery store serving only high quality items, and the deli case here is really great. You can also grab soup and rice & beans to go or eat in their dining area.

Aldrich's Market is 2 blocks up the street, and most likely has whatever you need as far as food and essentials goes. It's spendy but close, and the deli case has really great breakfast sandwiches.

The best beach for a beach day, good food at The Cantina, hiking trails, and old military bunkers to explore. If you're visiting Port Townsend, you pretty much have to go to Fort Worden. You can also rent kayaks here at the beach!
