Pleasant place for casual dining while visiting Lummi Island. We four had dinner. SERVICE: 4.5. Very friendly and attentive. We felt welcome. FOOD: 4.0. - Fish & Chips: Fresh fish with safely bland tartar sauce (and free optional malt vinegar which I didn't get), Decent...fries. OK cole slaw with bland mayonnaise dressing. - Sicilian Seafood Salad. Fresh ingredients. She didn't particularly like the (lemon) mayonnaise dressing. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Interior seating. Two outdoor seating areas: in front facing waterfront on wooden deck and in back on lawn with picnic tables. A band was playing enjoyable folksy music in the back outside dining area.More

We visited here the times during our week long stay on Lummi. All of the food we had was good, however the seafood chowder was my favorite. The bread comes with the most delicious browned butter and bay. The butter alone was probably my second...favorite thing... they should put it in jars and sell it. We also had their fun guy pizza, mussels, seafood salad and fish & chips. The restaurant has changed hands through the years, keeping the same name. The current staff is great. They do not serve breakfast at this time. 😕More

This delightful cafe has charm, character and... history. Before CV 19, You could dine inside or on the deck with views of the ferry route (and Mt.Baker) or in the garden area out back and have creatively delicious cuisine, with or without great beer or...wine. Now, it's take out with call-ahead ordering. The personal service reflects the pride or the owner and the chef whose talent is shown in every menu. We are very fortunate to have this enjoyable and celebrated feature right here on Lummi Island!More

Beach Store Cafe menu is simple but provided options that we both enjoyed. Eggs Benedict was perfect. Ferrymans omelet had plenty of bacon and sausage. We sat near the window for the best views!

Friday nights there is live music. Weather permitting it is outdoors and you can sit at picnic tables and listen to great music. The food is well prepared and the pizza is great. The fish and chips are amazing! The salads fresh and locally sourced....Wines are good, desserts are delish. We always try to eat here when staying on the Island. You cannot go wrong.More

We visited on an incredibly busy day (July 5), so it was busy and slow. Still, the service is always warm; you feel that they are genuinely happy to have you. And, despite the large number of diners that particular day, there was no compromise...in the food quality. It was delicious. They offer the vegan beyond burger, as well as vegan cheese that can be used on their (tasty!) wood-fired pizzas. Good wine list, fresh produce in the salads, it's really a winning combination.More

Fabulous atmosphere with bay and Mt. Baker views. We sat on the porch where we were able to watch the ferry crossing. Restaurant did not open until 4pm but it was worth the wait while we drove around the island. We ordered the steamed mussels...and fish and chips. All the food was fresh and delicious with nice presentation. The waitress was wonderful and attentive. A very comfortable experience.More

I have traveled a lot and tried to eat Eggs Benedict many places but Eric's are the best. Always consistent, great Hollandaise, perfectly cooked poached eggs. Can't wait to get back home to Lummi for breakfast.

There are only 3 restaurants on Lummi Island, the Beach Store cafe would be a good choice even with more options. It is a casual, friendly place with a reasonable menu. If I found myself on Lummi again, this would be a restaurant of choice.

We ordered a takeout supreme pizza. First off, it was delicious, lots of tasty toppings, good flavored sauce, and good flavor from the fire oven. So, why only 3 stars? Well, it was quite small considering it cost $18 (over $20 w/ tax & tip)....For that I would expect a large'ish pizza, and this was definitely only a medium size - 6 slices, 12 inch square box. But, it was delicious, so it was well worth trying once.More

Everything on the menu is exceptional. We like to split the fish and chips. We often meet friends here for dinner. It has that marvelous small town and small island atmosphere.

My husband and I ate at Beach Store Cafe Sunday evening. When we left we turned to each other and simultaneously said "that was awful". We picked up the menus on a counter near the door and took a seat. The head wait lady whisked...by, took those menus and said that they might not be correct ones and handed us some others. Why keep the wrong ones at the door ?? No biggie!!! She gave us a run down of what wasn't available and additions. Another wait person came by and we ordered tempura veg and squid to share ($12) as a starter and 2 burgers with fries for main ($16). Wine arrived and about 15 minutes later our starter and burgers were all plonked on the table at the same time. I asked the waiter why and he just said "sorry" and raced off. Tempura IT WAS NOT. Not a panko breadcrumb in sight. It was battered, deep fried zucchini (courgette) and cauliflower, small squid all stuck together in lumps with the veg, Over fried (brown) and greasy. It was served with a very overpowering thyme/mayo sauce. Thumbs Down. Meanwhile our very well browned burger bun, half leaf of Cos (Romaine) lettuce,1 tomato slice, bland meat patty and very brown fries (see pic) got colder and soggier. Thumbs down. The head wait person swung by about half way thru our meal and asked how our meal was. I only got as far as saying " not so good, the starter and main arrived together" she offered another burger, another glass of wine, which was appreciated but we'd had enough. Because... Looking at the other meals going out from the servery to other diners, the fried ones were over cooked (brown) and the lady next to me looked like she had a salad swimming in oil. I saw a pizza go out that seemed half the topping was missing. Maybe the customers ordered this for dietary reasons. Yes I should have said something sooner but I'm not sure it would have made a difference. The 2 cooks (they could not be described as chefs) looked as excited about the meals they were presenting as having the plague. These meals were not made with love or passion and it showed. This was my 3rd try at Beach Cafe this summer. 3 times disappointed, 3rd strike - OUT. For a quality meal now a ferry and drive to the mainland will be preferable. I have tried to support 'local'. Maybe I've ordered the wrong things. I'm not prepared to take another risk. Lovely location, historical and quaint. Close to ferry dock but needs better management, excited cooks and oil that's changed often and used sparingly.More

I trust this experience, for you, is not isolated to our restaurant, which is why we cannot take this seriously. We are proud of our staff, the work we do and the food we serve.
