Pam Stewart has been baking traditional artisan breads for over a decade. Café
Demeter is, for her, a natural next step in baking and in community service. Café
Demeter is a fine place to enjoy coffee--or her R-rated hot chocolate--and a pastry and good company just a couple blocks up from the ferry in Friday Harbor.
 Pam's Café
Demeter takes its name from Demeter, the Greek goddess of fertility, grains, and cereals. Demeter is always depicted as a strong woman. She is often solemn, even sad, because her daughter Persephone must spend half of each year with Hades in the underworld. During those six months, our fall and winter seasons, Demeter goes off duty, awaits her daughter's return, and the earth goes barren. In spring and summer, daughter Persephone returns, Demeter goes back to work, everything blooms again in her joy, and people luxuriate in, and are nourished by, Demeter's gifts. | Family owned & operated Sam and Joe, with a friend, serving up the goods at the Friday Harbor Farmer's Market.
