Local Lift: Krakens Cove, Mad Batter Bakehouse, & Book Rack Giveaway
Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest Local Lift! This week I’m excited to give away gift certificates to a few wonderful Whidbey Island businesses including Kraken Cove, Mad Batter, and Book Rack.
Local Lift is a feature I started back at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to support small, local, independent businesses. Along with purchasing + giving away gift cards to our community, I also love to spotlight each business here on my blog and show off what makes each business so special. Thanks for following along!
This week’s giveaway includes:
Two $65 gift certificates to Krakens Cove
Two $20 gift certificates to Mad Batter Bakehouse
Two $50 gift certificates to Book Rack
Winners will be drawn at random. To enter, head on over my Facebook page to find this Local Lift giveaway post and follow the instructions. (All you have to do is leave a comment on the Facebook post that features this giveaway to enter!) Deadline for giveaway entries is 5pm PST on Thursday, October 5.
***Please note that I will NEVER ask for credit card info from you! AnnieCashTeam.com is my only website, and this is my only Facebook business page. Thank you!***
Krakens Cove
Krakens Cove just had their grand opening! They’ve been around for a couple of years but big congratulations are in order to this steak and seafood restaurant and lounge on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor. Krakens Cove menu is filled with surf ‘n’ turfs favorites; find calamari, oysters, Penn Cove mussels, Penn Cove mussels, seafood salad, house clam crowder, Crab Louie, New York strip loin, filet mignon, shrimp scampi, and much more all on the menu.
Another fun thing about Krakens Cove is the fact that it’s in a historic building that was built in the 1850s. Back in the day, the building was used as a warehouse, store, and saloon.

Mad Batter Bakehouse
Located right in the heart of Downtown Oak Harbor, Mad Batter Bakehouse has become a popular local staple. Mad Batter specializes in generously sized gourmet cookies, but they also sell other baked goods, a huge menu of drinks, and more. As far as the cookies go, you’ll of course find classics like chocolate chip, but there is always an eclectic variety of cookies available to order, and always something new to try! Just a few of their cookie creations include Sea Biscuit (milk chocolate, bourbon caramel icing, sea salt), oreo (cookies & cream topped with Oreo mousse), Slow Burn (toasted s’mores with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and a butter graham cracker crust)… and many more!
