Fraîche Cup

Love the place.
People are nice.
Delicious food and coffee!

Several times I have visited this coffee shop, Fraiche Cup. The location is convenient when I pick my husband up from the ferry boat. This shop offers a variety of items to choose from aside from their coffee's and teas; they have sandwiches, often some form of fruit and plenty of desserts. And if your not a Starbucks follower or fan then Fraiche Cup is the only other immediate coffee shop. The coffee they offer I wouldn't classify as being excellent, more like decent, I haven't tried any of the food yet.
The Fraiche Cup also hosts an area where local artist can sell handmade items; which can be a win-win for tourist.
I honestly couldn't tell you the look it was going for if any. The tables and chairs are lacking some comfort and appear to be somewhat worn, but as I stated earlier, I'm uncertain if there was a unique decor they were trying to achieve or possibly not.
The servers I have chatted with over the last few years have always been pleasant and always friendly; I have never had a bad experience with any of them, and they seem this way to all of their customers. The owner (at least I think he is the owner) more standoffish.
The dining area and the restroom appear clean — the dining area I have never seen dirty tables or a messy counter or floor.
I have witnessed Fraiche Cup on slow days, but I have also stood in line for 15 minutes waiting for my turn. Summer proves to be a hectic time for this coffee shop, and not everyone is a Starbucks fan.
Parking is a considerable challenge most of the time. Most of the parking is street parking, which is normally taken or paid parking next block over, which is usually full. The one exception is Kitsap Credit Union parking garage; I am not familiar with the parking rules since it is adjacent to the credit union it may be just for their employees, I don't know for sure. Parking becomes much worse in the late Spring and Summertime when you throw tourist in the mix; now there is construction going on in the immediate area as well.
Overall, I'll continue to visit Fraiche Cup now and again; I like being able to support a local business and I urge everyone else to support a local small business.

Great customer service! Was leaned towards the chicken sandwich which is okay but wouldn't say 5star worthy. Was lacking flavor and good cheese. Great option to have it grilled but grilling it did not make my perfect.

I’ve only been here once while waiting for the ferry and got there chai latte which was made from a syrup concentrate that tasted like pure sugar. Wanted to support a local shop rather than Starbucks. I had to throw out the tea because it was disgustingly sweet. I’d rather just have it made from actual tea bags. Maybe their coffee is better? The sandwich I had was pretty bad as well. Way too much mayonnaise and cheese on the chicken salad. Very nice staff however! Super friendly!

Good service but average coffee and terrible food. Gummy white bread sandwich with what seemed like canned chicken and some cheese slices. Couldn't eat it.

Great coffee and cozy atmosphere!

It was a one lady show and she was working her buns off. She was amazingly efficient and her breakfast sandwiches were super yummy. Best Italian sodas we’ve ever had. Thank you ☺️

This is such a great place with a great staff. Parking is a little tricky since it is downtown but the latte is extraordinary as well as their breakfast sandwich and cookies! The staff always was very helpful and had great suggestions. They also have some local artwork around and free WiFi. Great place to relax by the water if you're waiting for your ferry or staying in the area. Wish we had one near my house because of the awesome coffee and small plates!

Nice, little locally owned coffee shop! And the food is delicious too! Always try to stop in when I'm heading to or picking someone up from the ferry! ⛴️

Great little shop! Plenty of coffee and tea options while you wait for the ferry. It's nice to have an alternative to Starbucks. Prices aren't bad. They have snacks and a seating area. Also some Mariners and Seahawks gear if you need to do some last minute gift shopping!
