The 10 Best Gift & Specialty Shops in Bainbridge Island, Washington (WA)

September 30, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Although it's just 35 minutes by ferry from Seattle, Bainbridge Island is a totally different world. Travelers who enjoy the outdoors can hike, bike or walk in the Bloedel Reserve or Fort Ward State Park. The island feels rural, and local agriculture is a source of pride for residents (check out what's in season at the farmers' market). Bainbridge Island is also known for its strong visual and performing arts culture, and there's good shopping in Winslow.

Eagle Harbor Book Co

Reviewed By Deewigi - Bainbridge Island, United States

This is a wonderful resource where you’re almost sure to find something you can’t wait to start reading. Even in the age of e-readers, there’s nothing like the promise of opening a real book to the first pages. There is lots to explore even though this is not an enormous store, and terrific curation for the most part. I especially like the section on Local Authors (quite a few writers on or near Bainbridge Island!), and the full wall of books that employees recommend, with notecards explaining why they chose a particular selection. Much love for Eagle Harbor Books, with one caveat: their crafts section seems comparatively uninspired and kind of random.

Churchmouse Yarns & Teas

Reviewed By seatowngetawaygirl - Seattle, United States

Churchmouse has been my local yarn store since long before it became famous. Located on in a small breeze on Bainbridge Island, this little shop carries a wide variety of luxury fibers, designs their own garments, and is available for knitting circles and charity knit-a-longs regularly. Their mail order service rivals that of Nordstrom. Packages are beautifully packed, tissue-wrapped, and include a hand-written thank you note and postcard. Lovely service from lovely people... and if you're a knitter, you must make the pilgrimage.

Paraffine's Tea Shop

Reviewed By 759wesm

Walked in here as we were touring around Bainbridge, and ended up having a great conversation with the man who was behind the counter about teas, how they're made and how they source their teas. Incredibly cute, smells amazing, and is worth a visit.

Bay Hay and Feed

An old-fashioned general store located in the historic Rolling Bay neighborhood of Bainbridge Island. Home of the famous Bay Hay shirts. In addition to being a full-service feed store and garden center, Bay Hay and Feed carries gift items and a great selection of socks, boots, and outdoor clothing. The Market at Bay Hay offers fresh vegetables, fruit, cheeses, dairy and meat from local farms, plus locally-baked bread.

I may never have found this lovely establishment except for a local florist recommendation. They have a most diverse selection of merchandise and I bought something from each department! I love the Sorrel and other shoe and sock department. There’s clothing for men and women, cards, gifts, candles and childrens’. The little bakery and food department is perfect for snacks, lunch on the way or take home. And then the garden shop is outstanding, both indoors and outdoors. The staff is extremely helpful with plant selections. And most interesting...feed for animals and even chicks.

This place is amazing! If you love vinyl and you're visiting Bainbridge Island then you MUST stop by. I purchased a pristine copy of We're Only In It For The Money, pressed, in 68, by Deutsche Grammophon. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and the shop is particularly well organized.
