The photos on google don't do justice to how great this space feels on a sunny day such as when I stopped in during their opening weekend. It's doing the rustic industrial thing but very open to the outdoors for lots of natural light and fresh air.
The owners are so passionate about this endeavor, and incredibly warm and welcoming. My daughter and I both had a non-alcoholic drink with the local (to the San Juan Islands) Girl Meets Dirt shrub and sparkling water, and went home with a bottle of shrub to make more at home.

TL;DR great experience, lovely folks,...
