50 Best Coffee Shops in Bellingham

“Got a veggie wrap and it was crispy and delicious. Mimosa flight was great and objectively pretty cheap. Ambiance was fun, comfy. Gal serving was super nice. Smaller venue, quaint. Looks like there's a good beer selection and some booze.“

“The vibes are 10/10 in all domains the moment you walk in the door. And they make the absolute best mocha in Washington.
On their website they say that “we are a community driven space that draws focus on intentional connections with anyone that walks through the door.” It is true and they are doing a fantastic job.“

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

“Bread. Pudding. Muffin. I can’t believe how good it is! Some of the best atmosphere in town, always great beans. Place has been in our rotation for years, but the bread pudding muffin takes Adagio up a notch in my book. Pastries were average before, but we didn’t come for pastries. We came for beans snd vibes. A classic northwest coffee place from the golden age of coffee culture. A spiritual center of downtown Bellingham vibes that I hope lasts forever.

Now, they’ve always had great beans, but frankly the milk steaming and pouring execution had been getting a little weak for a while. But I think he was training an apprentice and showing em how it’s done, so it was amazing. We left our visit feeling like we should come once a week for that bread pudding muffin with coffees.“

“Found this coffee served in a restaurant while visiting my son recently in Washington (they served the “Velvet Elvis” dark roast). I drove to Bellingham the next day to buy some and now have it shipped directly to me in Massachusetts! Absolutely perfect coffee. I am a serious but simple coffee drinker; I drink it black so I am pretty picky and this one is one of, if not the best I’ve ever had!“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“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“

“LakeLine is awesome! Great atmosphere, super cozy and lots of great food and drink items on the menu. Everything we tried was delicious and the dill pickle dip, while creamier than we thought it was going to be, was a fun and super tasty dip. Also love that it's the neighborhood cafe for Silver Beach residents! Faves on the menu: Matcha latte, dill pickle dip, burrata & chimichurri sandwich, tuna melt (on both GF and regular bread) & chopped salad! Will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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! ?“

“I spent a year in France, and a few of the pâtisseries were as good as The Iron Rooster, but NONE were better. Everything sold there is handcrafted with the best ingredients, and there is always a nice assortment from which to choose. Really wonderful !!“

“I have yet to go to a bar that is anything like the Blue Abode. Chill vibes with well placed TV's combined with down to earth guests have made it a good experience each time. The bartender, Taryn, has always been both knowledgeable and kind everytime I've come in. I have heard great things about the other bartender as well.

Drinks and food of course are solid too.

Overall 10/10 would recommend.“

Everything is just done so well. It almost feels like fine dining on a more casual scale with how high quality this comfort food is. Our Faves on the Menu: Avo Smash, Chef's Breakfast, Banter Burrito, Coconut Peanut Bowl, Smashed Fingerling Potatoes (side), Bluebalicious Smoothie, Fit Elvis Smoothie Definitely swing by Banter on your next visit to Downtown BHAM!“
