Sunshine Drip Coffee Lounge
Located in Coupeville at 306 N Main St, Coupeville, WA 98239, this much-loved local staple has residents raving about not only their delicious, organic coffee, but also about their all-day breakfast. Favorites include avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, quiche, yogurt bowls, granola bowls, paninis, wraps, salads, smoothies, and kid-friendly picks too! Whether you just need to grab a quick bite to eat or you’re joining a friend for a picnic on a sunny day, Sunshine Drip is a must-try Coupeville cafe!

Whidbey Island Boats & Boards
Paddling out on the water is the ultimate social distancing activity, but it’s also just an awesome way to spend a sunny summer day here on Whidbey Island! Whidbey Island Boats & Boards is an amazing business in part because they will deliver kayaks and paddle boards to you *anywhere* on Whidbey Island at no extra cost. It really doesn’t get easier than that, and it’s perfect if you don’t have the right vehicle situation for packing around a few kayaks. If you need ideas for where you paddle, they have an excellent list of suggestions here.

Popsies
Located right in the heart of Oak Harbor, Popsies Popcorn, Ice Cream, & Sweets is a dreamy shop filled with sugary goodness! You can stop in and get a classic ice cream cone (perfect on a hot summer day), but they also have shelves and shelves filled with several flavors of popcorn, cute baggies of different types of candy, lots of different seasonal treats throughout the year, and you’re bound to find something new and special to try.
