Lisa in the shop.
The entire shop!
The remainder of the Coke cold case & mirrors, which add visual space to the "room".

The World’s [Literally] Skinniest Latte Shop is on San Juan Island in beautiful downtown Friday Harbor, Washington. The shop is built i what used to be the alley between two buildings.  It is an ingenious use of space.

Lisa came to visit from Nebraska so I drug her into this coffee shop and insisted she buy a drink.  I had a pretty good mocha.  Lisa ordered a Chlorophyll Cocktail.  If you like kale, I mean really like kale, you would have loved this drink.  Me, not so much.

The service was friendly.  The shop is adorable.  And the whole event excited me so much I walked out without paying and my guest had to pick up the bill!  I am quite the hostess, don’t yu know.  Pft.

    1. Gemma — I love the sea life in this part of the world. It is fascinating. I have been in the latte shop twice and it’s quite amazing, too.

    1. Nessa — there is much fascinating to photograph here. The clear pictures are the result of steady hands and a truly great camera. And, I felt like a heel forgetting to pay but that girl was so sloooow my coffee was gone and forgotten about 15 minutes before Lisa ever got her drink!

    1. Susan — the Chlorophyll Cocktail was vile, but Lisa drank it. It was juiced kale, spinach, broccoli and lime juice — with a bit of wheat grass thrown in because it was the last thing to be juiced.

      And the clam shell is sitting on a huge black bolder. Amoeba, who isn’t a geologist, is researching what it is, but has so far only managed to rule out a couple things it isn’t with only 5493 more to go …..

    1. Melli — I fit. In fact, Lisa, I and the barista all fit. Amoeba then joined us. We were able to close the door behind him, but suddenly the place was waaaaay too small.

    1. Barbara — I tasted the Chlorophyll Cocktail and it took me a half hour to rid my mouth of the taste. I am certain it is every bit as healthy and good-for-you as can be, but that doesn’t mean it tastes good!

  7. The shell shot is lovely.
    I’m fascinated by the little shop. I can’t imagine working there all day! If I were to get coffee there, I’d probably shout my order in, rather than try to squeeze in!
    .-= Colleen´s last blog ..WOW! =-.

    1. Colleen — you’d fit in the shop and it really isn’t too crowded for one, but when four of us scrunched in, I wanted back out!

    1. Polona — you’d fit just fine. I fit. And, the ceiling is way high. Oh. Those baskets and shelves might irritate you a bit, but they aren’t on the customer side of the cash register. I thought that shell was a wonder myself.

    1. Thom — thanks. I left the shell on the beach. I am very glad I did because Amoeba later told me that’s a nature preserve!

  17. Love the shell! Did you bring it home? The shop seems very unique – a resourceful owner with good use of space. You’ve made it famous.

    As for my snowflake shot. It wasn’t that I really didn’t like it. For a first attempt I should be pleased. I just wanted one lonely perfect snowflake all by itself with great detail. It’s supposed to snow more tomorrow so maybe I’ll get some more practice.

    1. Carletta — the shell was on a preserve, so the only thing I carried away were photographs and a little brown rock that lodged in the tred of my shoes.

      I look forward to seeing more of your snowflake shots.
