Shannon went out of her way to help me make a family gathering something special with breads and pastries that we fought over and left us smiling ear to ear. Great skill and kindness.

They have the most delicious gluten free + vegan chocolate cake.. and it didn’t cause a reaction, wooohooo! I hope to see it on the menu again. The staff here is always so nice too.

This cafe never disappoints! We visit regularly for a Lord Bergamot Tea, a delicious pastry, or a savory snack. The location is great and the atmosphere is cozy.

The staff are great friendly folks and every single thing you see for sale is prepared from scratch in house. The views are great and so is the music. It's also in the second story of a bookstore which is a star in and of itself. I'd gladly recommend this place for anyone to come eat at.

Second time I've beeb disappointed there. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was so dry I could hardly eat it. The fried egg was cooked solid, the patty had all the juices cooked out of it and not even a dollop of sauce. 😔 tried mentioning it to a server but got a nonchalant "oh ok" answer.... Great spot but they really need to work on the food.

I treat myself at Evolve Chocolate whenever I go on a book-buying spree at Village Books! Can't do it often - some people do drugs, I buy books - but the combined outing is a major pleasure!

Great service every time. Tasty creative recipes that are healthy and made with care while always surprising my tastebuds. I appreciate that it is not your standard fast food. This is a place to relax and enjoy the views of the bay while savoring homemade foods in a cafe with a slower-paced and cozy vibe.

Evolve Café is a foodie's paradise, where innovation and comfort coalesce. Their Bacon Lettuce and Tomato (BlaT) sandwich is an adventure in every bite. The candied bourbon bacon brings an irresistible sweetness balanced by nuanced flavors from the bourbon marinade. The roasted tomatoes and fresh avocado add yet another depth of flavor that transports this sandwich to best-in-class status. It’s a gourmet version of a classic sandwich that stays on your mind long after. Evolve Café has nailed it with this exquisitely crafted sandwich.

Evolve Cafe is my favorite restaurant in Bellingham! They have vegetarian and gluten free options which I love. The food is fantastic and so flavorful, the staff kind and friendly, and the restaurant space is relaxing. A new wait person mistakenly overcharged my order and later caught the mistake and gave me a refund without me even having to ask.

The food at Evolve is amazing. I’ve had great coffee, baked goods, and meals there with my friends. The ambience upstairs at the cafe is also really nice.

I had such a lovely experience when going to breakfast this morning. I ordered an eggs benedict and a mocha. The server set proper expectations to let me know it might take time to get my order as there were other orders before me. I found this to be very thoughtful as usually I'm left to wonder when my food will arrive. When it did arrive, it was so picturesque! I wish I'd caught a snap but I was hungry, so I dove right in. The skill that went into this plate was evident. The tomato's acid was a great balance to the hollandaise, and the spinach gave it a depth of flavor I wasn't expecting. I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch, but I did not miss the meat on this plate! The eggs were poached perfectly, and overall this was a joy to eat. I don't normally get out to Fairhaven for breakfast, but I absolutely have plans to come back now!

Shockingly disappointing. Got 2 breakfast sandwiches, one with bacon. Also got a breakfast burrito. The breakfast sandwich does not come with meat. It’s just egg and cheese. You pay 6 extra dollars for bacon on it. It’s tasteless. Coffee was acidic. Burrito wasn’t warm all the way through. Very underwhelming and expensive. Also, there’s broccoli in the salsa.
