48 Best Coffee Shops in Bellingham

“I was in a rush but wanted to give this place a try. Ordered stop drip and the best cookie.
The drip was great. Had good mouth feel and great notes on the back end.
The cookie was ACTUALLY really really good. I think it had flakes of salt on it and it made it so much better that way.
The inside is relaxing, not to be mistaken with calm and quiet. Relaxing in a much better way. People at every table, conversations flowing, plants everywhere, the way a coffee shop should be.

I'll be back and get a cap and try the food next time.“

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

“I just really adore this place. I haven't been coming as often now, but it's going on 5+ years since I found it. The coffee is delicious, and the pastries are scrumptuous. The best part is it's (sort of) dog friendly if you get your order and sit outside, which I always do. Recently, a new server chastised me for bringing my dog, without asking me if she was a service animal. One of the owners was so nice when I spoke with her about the encounter and it was remedied.
Thank you Cafe Adagio for being so welcoming!“

“The baristas are so friendly and courteous here! Their creative and inclusive drinks and food options are really delicious and I always get excited when a friend suggests we come here. The lighting here is really great and it's always a comfy place to stop. Love the white chocolate mocha here!“

“2 plays in 2 nights by Bellingham Theatre Works. Both about Language. And how it can bring people together or separate them. How some people understand the feelings behind words and others do not. The players are very good and it is amazing how the scenery in an in the round theater can be so important. In last night's play the very young actors were excellent.“

“Nice, i love this place. Peaceful“

“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“

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

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

“I’m kind of an iced tea aficionado, and Woods has THE BEST black iced tea I’ve ever had. Apparently they get it at the Spice Hut-another local business. I haven’t found ‘the one’ yet, but Woods’ making it must add that little magic something. The employees are nothing less than delightful. Always speedy service especially if one avoids the drivethrough. I’ve gotten behind a 4-fru fru drink cars once to many to do anything but go inside. Totally fine. Highly recommend it. I don’t particularly care for their lattés, but I’m hardly a coffee expert.“

“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“

“Great little spot if you can catch it open (mornings Wednesday-Saturdays). Great coffee, snacks and treats, and handy items you might have forgotten—sewing kit? Croakie? Laundry soap? And a pleasant proprietress.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Great employees with a great vibe.“

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

“The Fluffy Bunny and the Cinnamon Roll are my favorite iced coffees there Cruisin' Coffee is a Bellingham institution for good reasons, and they have REAL hard ice cream shakes/ice cream blended coffees (like the Coffee Cream omg) ??

Kid-friendliness: They gave my kiddo a sucker when she wanted me to buy her a treat and I was worried she'd feel left out when I got myself a coffee, but the sucker helped!

Wheelchair accessibility: You can roll right up in your wheelchair ☺️ and they are walk-up friendly ?“

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

“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.“

“We always have a great experience with Woods. Better coffee, bakery, breakfast & Rush drinks than 'constellation dollars' hands down. *** Woods does Egg Nog in the winter which those other ones stopped doing years ago. That's the reason I switched and have not looked back.“

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

“Absolutely great place to get a cup of coffee! Great service with a smile on their faces. Very very uplifting mood when walking in. They're ham and cheese croissant was excellent as well! Two enthusiastic thumbs up. Couldn't be happier with the service. Definitely a good change of pace considering the last couple places that I've been to. I would suggest this place even with my grandmother. It's nice to see a local company succeed so well. No company deserve more success than these guys! Keep up the good work!

Dietary restrictions: Everything friendly

Kid-friendliness: Do you have kids menu items as well

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessible“

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

“IWM Coffee in Fairhaven offers a solid experience with good food, friendly service, and a variety of menu options. I had a pumpkin spice latte, which had a nice flavor, but the coffee itself was on the mild side. Alongside that, I enjoyed a breakfast burrito with ham, which was tasty and potato-forward—a feature I appreciated. The marionberry scone was dense, typical of a scone, but still enjoyable. Overall, the customer service was excellent, and it's definitely a place worth trying if you're in the area. It seems popular for its early morning hours, the quick service, and locally focused approach.“

“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…“

“Preordered & easily picked up various 4 qts enroute to weekend party. Everyone gushed how much they loved it. Must give me name & location. First time gelato for me. Loved. So creamy. Fairhaven District Bellingham location pleasant & helpful staff.“

“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!“

“What I don't understand is I order the same drink 5 days a week and its never the same price. Can someone explain this to me. Its pretty confusing all I get is 24 oz caramel latte extra shot of caramel . Why different prices depends on person collecting money“

“This Starbucks is like the Cheers of Fred Meyer Starbucks. My teenager and I hit this place almost every day and the baristas know our orders, joke with us, and are just all around fantastic. Jayme, Ryan, Morgan, and the rest of the crew are super cool and helpful.Everybody has their favorite drink written down on the board which is a nice personal touch. I suggest the Jayme, personally.“

“We've been coming to this location for years, and there's always efficient , pleasant service in the drive-thru. (We were surprised that they don't have an eggnog latte this holiday season though, and will have to go elsewhere for that.)Love that this location is unionized!“

“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!“

“Had an iced lavender white mocha that was tasty. The cranberry orange scone was moist and great. I'm new to the area and typically prefer craft coffee but I'm looking for a go to coffee drive through when I'm in a rush. Nice staff!“

“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, 😄“

“Amazing breakfast burrito and coffee“

“Love Lafeens! Come here all the time with my friends!“

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

“A welcoming and cozy little cafe, that's quiet enough to chat in. The gelato is amazing, and the chocolate are silky and rich. Best of all, drinking chocolate made with any chocolate you want: my favorite is the white chocolate.“

“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!“

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

“We had an amazing visit! Our barista was incredibly helpful and friendly. The decor is so beautiful and inviting with the huge double sided fire place, leather chairs, open wood beams and outdoor decorations.“

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

“The coffee was delicious, gold Rush is made with white coffee and phenomenal pick me up. Absolutely appreciate the breakfast burrito had to nutrition facts sticker. And the cute note on the bag. Will absolutely have to drive through next time ?“

“Yo the humans that run this joint at THIS particular location are beautiful spirits and the milk shake (32oz chocolate thanks for asking) and the simple ingredients that made a FIRE roast beef sandwich ... Well those were two days ago spectacular and as I write this now it's a must stop and partake. No joke go love you some CRUISIN COFFEE.LADIES GREAT AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING KNOW THAT! ?“
