They have an amazing selection of baked goods. Also, they are a delicious vegetarian restaurant with daily specials. Get there early, because there is always a crowd! They also have a fun bar area that at times has live music.

This is the place to be! They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One of the best things to do is to grab a table by the window in the bar, and you can people watch while you dine!

Drinks & Nightlife

They have decent bar food, but they do have live music most weekends. Also, during the summer, they roll up the windows and you can have a burger and watch the town go by!

VISITOR INFORMATION Come explore the only combined zoo and aquarium in the Northwest. You'll see sharks and seahorses, polar bears and peacocks, walruses and wolves, all in one place! Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is large enough to offer an awesome array of animals yet small enough for you to get really close to them. It's fun and affordable, and offers breathtaking views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains.
