Roy’s Drive-Thru

Avoid.
In the town of Friday Harbor their is unfortunately a lack of breakfast options worth your time. Roy’s Drive’Thru turns out to be the worst of the bunch. My girlfriend and I visited today to try them out. While out front looking at the menu, the lady inside was dealing with one car. She kept saying out to us please wait, hold on one sec, ect. We kept saying that is fine, as we were still looking at the menu. I didn’t even know what I wanted yet. She finally dealt with the one customer in the driver-​thru and told then next car to wait and it would be just a second. The lady in the car said no problem, that it was Friday Harbor and she is in no rush. The lady inside replied, I know, I wish someone would tell that to the people out front.
I am thinking, we are the people out front. It is my girlfriend and I and one other dude hanging out in a seat talking to his friend. No one was in a rush, far from it. I found it very rude and I didn’t get were that idea came from. We ordered a chai tea latte and two breakfast sandwiches, one unlimited and one with pepperjack and sausage.
First, thing we noticed is that they use a powder to make the chai tea latte. Just open a pouch and stir it into some hot water and call it a chai latte. Do not order this, or you will be disappointed.
After a small wait we got our sandwiches, and my pepperjack with sausage is actually just an everything bagel and nothing else. I am thinking I waited all that time for this? I walk back up and before I an even say anything the lady and her teenage employee are just laughing. They are like is your sandwich missing something? I just handed it to her and didn’t say a word. I got no apology that they sent my order to the lady in the car. No apology for them not being able to handle two customers on a slow day. I just get to employees competing for worst employee of the month awards, laughing about it. If you were to have walked up to place an order in at that moment you would have that I told the best joke to these two, except the joke is Roy’s Drive thru.
Aside from this, the sandwich is pathetic. Even if they had had an once of professionalism, the sandwich would have still fell on it’s microwaved face. I have attached a picture of the sandwich with its non-​melted cheese and sad circular egg disc that comes from the freezer, to the microwave, to your sandwich. Gross! Save yourself the $ 4 for this sandwich and head over to that sweet retreat place. Same cost and you will get real egg, that is cooked, with potato, choice of meat and can get it on a soft croissant.

Thank God for Roys! Only decent coffee we found in Friday Harbor. They masterfully made my nonfat vanilla latte and my husband’s mocha. Very busy since right by the ferry terminal, but well worth it! Average price, great service.

Service was unacceptable. It came with recommendation from the clerk @ the hotel where we stayed. We ordered iced lattes and it took well over 15 minutes to get our order. It was busy but not more than would be typical. It might not be a smart option if you’re in a hurry to catch the ferry. And when we got our drinks, no apologies for the long wait.

I love Roy’s! Best coffee joint in Friday Harbor! The staff is friendly and the coffee is always perfect. Whenever I’m on the island I go there because the coffee is de-​lish and easy.

Small drive-​thru and walk-​up coffee cart. One of the best chai lattes I’ve had in recent memory. Great for grab-​and-​go if you’re getting on the ferry or just meandering around downtown.
