We are very proud of the fact that the food served at the Calico Cupboard is honestly made from scratch with an unusually high standard of food quality and lots of old fashioned goodness.

All our bakery products are made right here at the Calico Cupboard from freshly milled , organically grown whole grain and unbleached flours, honey and other natural ingredients. Our soups, salads and sandwiches are carefully made daily using the freshest produce and lots of fiber rich beans and grains. Many meatless and heart-healthy breakfasts and lunches are available. We realize that many of you are on restricted diets, have specific food allergies, or simply like things eliminated or substituted for something else. So, whenever possible we will make every effort to accomodate your request... just ask.

Business Owner

In loving memory of Linda the founder of Calico Cupboard Café. Note from Linda: "You've probably heard that saying, "that so and so has a white thumb."  Well that's me!  As a young girl I spent a lot of time baking with my grandmother, who was a school baker, and with my mom, who made some great pies,  It wasn't long before I was baking my own masterpieces and experimenting with different recipes.  My early love of baking and cooking lead me to major in Hotel &  Restaurant Management at W.S. U., with summers spent working at various restaurants.  I opened my first Calico Cupboard Cafe and Bakery in 1981.  I was the baker and cook in those days.  A second Calico was opened in Anacortes in 1992,  followed by Mount Vernon in 1996 and in 2004,  Seed's Bistro & Bar, located in the historic Tillinghast Seed Company's original building."
