39 Best Coffee Shops in Bellingham

“This is one of those places that from the moment I walked in the door and was greeted with the smell of chai I knew it was gonna be a good stop ! This cafe feels like a warm hug from a friend you haven’t seen in while and they’ve manage to capture a retro , thrifty , homey vibe without overdoing it ! I ordered a latte and the toasted hazelnut, chèvre, honey & thyme toast and sat myself down at a table with a cute framed picture of a frog that said “ take more chances , dance more dances “ and I loved that !! Food and coffee was good , I was able to charge my phone and enjoy this special little spot before continuing my cruise !“

“First time here, came up from everett to visit family, stopped by on the way back down.
Fantasticly friendly service from Hailee (i hope i spelled that right, im so sorry) made some wonderful suggestions for their mimosa flights for the rest of my party, and the shockingly smooth Mustache drink for myself.

Ontop of that I asked if they had any birthday things for my girlfriend, and the whole crew in back got together and Collaborated, got some delicious and perfectly made chocolate muffins, vanilla ice-cream, whipped cream, and strawberries and even put on some candles and lit them.

This place is so wonderful, the food and drinks were delicious and perfection, and the service somehow amazingly broke past that.

And ontop of that, the cost for it was super economically friendly, no outrageous prices, my wallet did not leave crying.

And the aesthetic is so cute and cozy, small little sectional alcove complimenting the structural pillars, rather than an ugly support: genius.

And the lights provide this honey sweet warmth that really make it feel like home. Especially when the washington weather switched to its normal grey and cloudy, this place felt like a beacon in the drizzle.

If I could rate this place more stars, I would. 20/10.

My gf and I have now made this place a mandatory tradition to stop by on the way out of bellingham, just because of how wonderful it's been. Thank you, everyone is staff. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!“

“My large group had a great brunch today. Thank you soooo much for everything you did for Visit Bellingham!“

“Excellent coffee and great service. Their mochas are very tasty. Tried the vegetarian sandwich and that was tasty as well but a bit too salty!
The air inside is a bit stuffy and needs slightly better ventilation especially in winter“

“Hands down one of the brightest gems in A&E venues in Bellingham. Huge supporter of live, world class Jazz, and repertory theatre. Offers variety of community classes as well. Fabulous in house baked goods, beer/wine offerings, as well as coffee/tea. You won't go wrong in your support of the Firehouse.“

“Makeworth has made its mark on Bellingham as a fun communal space and coffee shop in town. They have a great menu of tasty breakfast items and roast their coffee beans amazingly. All their drinks are a great start to your day and they're a great space to connect with others or have some focus time for yourself! Menu Faves: - Food: Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, Avocado Toast, Chocolate Croissant - Drinks: Mocha, Macchiato, Honey Lavender Latte, Honey Chai“

“The owners and staff of Hammerhead coffee make this place worth the visit, no matter how long the line is. They are thoughtful, engaged and seem to know everyone in town. We have made this one of our regular haunts. Also, check out their sister coffee roast brand Steed Coffee.“

“Excellent eats, coffee, atmosphere and employees... Can't recommend enough...“

“Great coffee. Nice people“

“Nice, i love this place. Peaceful“

“I drive this place a lot but today the timing was right and I decided to stop in. When I got there I told the lady that I hadn’t been here before, but I’m exhausted and want something as close to a coffee milkshake with caramel as I could get. She nailed it, that was one of the best fraps I have had in a very long time. I will definitely be back“

“best coffee in the area! absolutely delicious every time. I like the vanilla chai with brown sugar cinnamon syrup :)“

“Love all baristas here!!! Great people and Coffee!!“

“The food is delicious! The atmosphere is great, the coffee wonderful, the staff is very friendly. Roam if you want to Roam around the world“

“Shirlee from Shirlee bird is a delight! She makes all her pastries from scratch. The breakfast burrito with bacon is awesome, especially for the price point! Coffee smells wonderful and she knows her way around an espresso machine. Her store front is very quaint, petite, and open. There is no indoor seating but there is a few spots outdoor and I believe there is also space inside the building for you to sit and enjoy your beverage/food. Dog friendly.“

“best coffee in the area! absolutely delicious every time. I like the vanilla chai with brown sugar cinnamon syrup :)“

“My daughter and I had their mudslide frappe and it was delicious! Best.Frappe.Ever! � wish we had one local in Olympia!“

“Great job. Made to order. Loved it! Will go back when in the area. ❤️👌“

“We need a Woods Coffee here in Vancouver wa. I miss my woods coffee and people😊“

“This is a clean, comfortable coffee shop right in downtown Bellingham conveniently located at the corner of Railroad and Chestnut. They offer all the typical coffees as well as pastries and sandwiches. The food is already prepared and reheated
(good but not great)
and the coffee was prepared exactly as ordered. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and provided fast service. There is paid street parking and it could be hard to find during peak times or during the Saturday Farmers Market just down the street. I highly recommend Woods Coffee if you are downtown and want consistently good coffee. Outdoor seating is available.“

“There is no other coffee place I believe, where the service is as magnificent as cruising coffee. They smile, and produce what you ask for, how you ask for it, and do anything possible to make things right. I am always tempted to tip them as much as the entire visit has cost and I usually do!“

“Great Coffee and the Best Burritos in Bellingham. You need to try one...“

“Love all baristas here!!! Great people and Coffee!!“

“Wow the service and food and coffee are unbelievable! The woman working the coffee stand was so kind, helpful, warm, and was ripping through orders! Their selection for breakfast was also really good and on the cheaper side of what most coffee stands are charging now. The coffee is excellent as well!“

“Had the best afgnotto and chefs choice today! Highly recommend!“

“I was passing by on a trip needing caffeine for the drive and this is probably the best coffee shop I’ve been to in years, from Alberta to BC and all the way down to Portland. This one stands out the most.

I ordered an Avalanche, it’s like this specific drink was made for me, I love it.

I wish I lived nearby so I could come here more, but I guess I will be adding a 30min detour every time I drive down to Seattle so I can stop by here and enjoy.

Staff was friendly and inviting and they were focused and hard working.

Love it 😁“

“Great employees with a great vibe.“

“Fantastic, fun, friendly, top notch service! The coffee is delicious, the pastries are divine! I Highly recommend this open, airy, happy establishment!!“

“Best coffee place in town! We've been going here for years and the coffee is consistently great. The staff is friendly and professional and fast. The food is great too, I love the ham grillers and the bagels with garlic feta dill. Highly recommend Zoom Zoom for great coffee and snacks.“

“Our whole family loves Flying Bird Botanicals Tea! We have an entire cupboard full of probably just about every flavor available. Our kids count on Tummy Coat, Cold Comfort, and Throat Soothe when they're not feeling well. My wife starts every day with Irish Breakfast first thing, then Lavender Orange Grey. Personally, I love a Dream Catcher hot toddy for a deep sleep. Outstanding products and an awesome local business!“

“It is an amazing little coffee shop, all of the staff I have met are very nice, patient and helpful. The croissant sandwich I had there was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life. Perfect for the college student who has some time in between classes to have some food/drink and work on homework or study.“

“I stopped by this location yesterday. A friendly staff member asked me how I was doing. I said I was sad. She did not comment, smiled and took my order. Which included a breakfast burrito. When she brought my order, she said it was my lucky day because I won an extra jumbo sized burrito. I shared with her that my wife passed away the night before, Which is why I was sad. Sometimes I go to the major chain store across the street, find its ordering ahead app more convenient. However, one cannot order ahead this type of kindness. I am grateful. I do not recall your name, but you really made my day.“

“Best experience I’ve had at a Starbucks in a long time! I am very picky about how much sweet cream is in my nitro, and when it wasn’t perfect, they gave me a little more nitro to even it out, and even spent a few minutes after trying to figure out how I could order my drink so it will be exactly what I wanted the next time. Great service“

“I found the lotus here, this place is amazing, with a warm ambience and has fantabulous customer service…the owner Sandra is an AMAZING human, very compassionate and always a smile on her face no matter what life throws at her I’m sure and she has been there for about 15yrs, that says a lot..,if you want a friend and exceptional service from her amd all her crew this is where you go, if you just want a coffee, go somewhere else…“

“best coffee in the area! absolutely delicious every time. I like the vanilla chai with brown sugar cinnamon syrup :)“

“Quite literally my second home! One thing I can always count on is being greeted with a smile, treated like an old friend and of course receiving an exceptionally made drink. Love this Starbucks!“

“My favorite coffee shop in Bellingham! Love the fresh pastries, and the baristas are always nice and welcoming.“

“yes!!! love starbucks :) as a partner and as a customer, they rock :)“

“Great drive thru espresso and other items. Cruising Coffee is the oldest in Whatcom county. I just wished they were open later, like they used to be🔥. They used to be open 24 hours, and I really miss that😢 their prices, are a bit steep compared to Donna's Espresso in Marysville for sure, 😄“
