A New Year At Doe Bay Cafe

Things have not slowed down here in at Doe Bay Cafe since our amazing New Year's Party.

Pizza night this past week rivaled most summer evenings with incredible music provided by Bruce, Al, Carlos and many others. The best part of Pizza Night was the impromptu gathering of all the farmers who supply our cafe with beautiful produce. Sarah Ross of Taproot Farm, George from Orcas Farm and John from Maple Rock were all spotted enjoying the music and the food. I have to admit I was nervous how my roasted beet and blue cheese pizza would be received by John, the "Pizza King of Orcas Island", but I passed my test with flying colors.

I'm looking forward this summer to holding a series of special dinners featuring menus designed around the produce from one local farm each evening. I'd love to combine it with farm tours if people are interested.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I just finished our menu for the big day! I have to say I am pretty excited. It is always my favorite event of the year to cook for. It's nice to think that we here in the cafe are creating a little more romance in the world. Check out our menu on the cafe web site.

The cafe will also be offering special room service option. Starting in the month of February you can surprise your sweetie with a iced bottle of Gruet Champenoise, a fantastic sparkling wine from New Mexico and a selection of house made truffles waiting in your cabin upon arrival. I can't think of a better way to start a weekend getaway.

Eat well and keep in touch!

best,
Abigael
