18 Best Cafes in Bellingham

“Beer and kitties. Need I say more??? Fantastic Staff that be like "Would you like treats?" and I'm over here like "uh for me or the kitties? Asking for a friend."“

“Wonderful artisan coffees. Tasty sandwich. Nice Colombian music.“

“cute locally owned cafe with a relaxing atmosphere, cute Polaroid dog photo wall, and good drinks! I got a pistachio chai.“

“The avocado toast is so flavored thematically if that means totally amazing; more is totally amazing too. This town is up the line of the Washington Bay; I assume it was made by a glacier melting as it was pushed in. In the Spring now there is more melting water current in the unfrozen air. This shop is a really nice place to get food and drinks that provide and charge. It's also got really classy honey drinks that could help pilots and sailors. The name is initiative in weather.“

“Love this place❤️❤️ We came directly from Vancouver just to come here. Amazing!!“

“Amazing breakfast burrito and coffee“

“Always looking for good coffee when I travel. Happened upon this friendly cafe. It was a fortunate find. The barista/baker had just pulled out pastries, one of which was lemon filled, it went well with my perfectly made Americano. I sat in the indoor courtyard where it was quite and relaxing. I will definately visit again when in the area.“

“Stopped for a coffee and danish with my 2-year-old daughter. We loved the pastries and the latte was perfect. Kim, the owner, was at the register and was so kind as to give my daughter a little cup of milk on the house when I forgot to order it with our breakfast. It was obvious that a lot of the customers who came in were regulars, and everyone was having a lovely time. That atmosphere was peaceful and pleasant, surrounded by beautiful plants and local art and lots and lots of bicycles. Could not say enough good things. We will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely amazing little find in Bellingham...delicious coffee and superfood lattes served up by the nicest barista in the most beautiful, serene setting. My favorite place to come hang out or work! 💕“

“Bar Cicotti is an exquisite comfortable place with a beautiful patio both on the front and in the back in the amazing Light Catcher arboretum. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming, the food and drink is fabulous.“

“Stayed in Fairhaven and went for breakfast, loved it, and came back a second day! Had the vegan breakfast sandwich and avocado toast. Sandwich is made with tofu and is spicy. I read posts that say there are not many vegan options but I found they had many other options posted in the board, such as a vegan banh mi and bowls. If they weren’t already vegan — easy to make vegan. Hard to choose. Service is friendly and leisurely.“

“Great coffee, luscious food, and awesome staff!“

“Avenue is an iconic Whatcom County lunch/breakfast spot and they always hit just right! You genuinely can't go wrong with anything off their menu, and I love that I still feel great after eating there. Love how easy it is to customize different sandwiches to adapt to dietary needs and everything just tastes SO good. Plus, I feel they're super affordable and love that you can pickup a loaf of bread or sleeve of english muffins on your way out! Menu Faves: BLT&T, any of their Eggenue Breakfast Sandwiches, Rosemary Bread/English Muffins, Banh Mi Sandwiches.“

“Food is excellent drinks are fantastic. John is a outstanding mixologest. Know you'll be happy if you go there.“

“Cool staff and convenient location, I stop by here every time I’m in the library. Their coffee is not too bad, just don’t expect an excellent cappuccino.

Although, don’t order anything too complicated… I usually request some adjustment to my food orders and they get it wrong probably 90% of the time. Bagels and cream cheese they got this! But sandwich with turkey, bacon, and avocado? They might forget the turkey, or avocado, or both… gets worse near the end of the quarter

It seems most of the people working here are also full time students.“

“I love this coffee cafe more and more every time I come in. It is a very warm and easy atmosphere. The perfect cafe music playing softly in the background. The light-hearted, happy chatter among the patrons. A general sense of neighborhood and international blend as smoothly as the floral, exquisite coffee. I’ve watched cafe adagio grow over the years and there is a reason ! Thank you!!“

“I was having a really bad day and decided to get some coffee and a sandwich and was not disappointed. Can honestly say the conversation and great drinks/breakfast food turned my day completely around. It seemed these hardworking individuals truly care about their customers and I wish I wasn’t broke so that I could tip them so much more. Zoom zoom has made a regular customer for life outta me!“
