Welcome
to the Agate Pass Café!
A solid menu that’s surprisingly simple. Start with great ingredients and you’ll be amazed at how good the food tastes without having to work so hard at it. Our goal is to take fresh, local ingredients, treat them simply and with respect, and create dishes to remember. Clean, fresh flavors – nothing fussy or overblown. We do our best to source local producers to bring you the flavors of the the area, and because of that, our menu changes with the seasons. Even our wine list is completely Pacific-Northwest based. Come see what North Kitsap is talking about!
The Agate Pass Café is…
Marty Bracken - Bracken was born in New York, raised in the suburbs of Detroit, matriculated in Oregon, and finally found herself in the neighborhoods of San Francisco. She spent her entire career involved in food and customer service one way or another, most recently as Director of Operations at TASTE Restaurant at the Seattle Art Museum. Prior to that she was in the trenches as a line cook at Earth & Ocean (W Seattle), as General Manager with Bon Appétit, as a Systems Analyst with Starbucks, and as a Chef’s Apprentice with Culinary Communion. Marty is owner and chef here at the café, responsible for menu development, wine selections, and washing dishes. Her goal is to create simple, delicious, slightly upscale food for the people of North Kitsap County until she can retire somewhere on the beach in Mexico.
Stacy Grega - A true Seattle native, Grega dabbled in the restaurant biz many years ago, before embarking on a career in fashion and interior design. Two teenagers and an antique store later, she jumped back into it to put her creative energy behind designing and running the front of the house here at the Agate Pass Café. Her clever design touches, from the recycled Hobart whisk lighting to the incredible piscine-themed mosaic bar top, make the café what it is. And her energy, enthusiasm and love of people make your experience here a memorable one. Her goal is to create a warm, welcoming neighborhood-based restaurant. She’s worked hard to create a loyal base of regulars, now friends, who can almost always find an open table or room at the bar.

Orth, Sous Chef - My name is Jason
Orth, Sous Chef at the Agate Pass Café. I live in Suquamish with my
wife Heather, daughter Keelein, and our pug, Olive.Growing up in a Navy family and living all over the world has greatly influenced my appreciation for fine food. My culinary skills are the result of this influence and of on-the-job experience working with other great chefs and cooks. I love the northwest and all it’s flavors: fresh meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. I like to cook; I love to eat. Living in the northwest also allows me to pursue my other interests: skiing, hiking, biking, and surfing.
Long hours, hard work, openness to learning and attention to detail has helped me get where I am today, the Agate Pass Café.
