50 Best Vegan Restaurants 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."“

“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. They're so good you gobble it down while at the same time savoring the crispness of the waffle, the just-right topping amount and how everything works together for the perfect bite! The Canadian Quesadilla and the pumpkin syrup build-your-own....shut. up. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Nate is the best host, too. Stop by.. You'll be very glad you did. Then tell 20 friends.“

“If you’re looking for an amazing breakfast.The Birch Door is a must! If you enjoy amazing original family recipes and delicious drinks.The Birch Door is a must! If you enjoy happy, friendly staff..go!“

“My husband and I had Saltadena do our wedding cake this summer. The cake was absolutely delicious - there was NONE LEFT at the end of the night! And there was PLENTY made to go around, but I had friends telling me they had probably eaten three or four pieces! Nancy was great to work with and worked with our day-of coordinator to get the cake delivered to our outdoor wedding during the reception so that we didn't have to worry about the heat. Perfect cake!“

“Came here for the first time today while I was waiting for my dad who was having a procedure. Not only was the food amazing but my server Joe aka my brother from another mother was amazing. He was above and beyond kind. Truly appreciated and unexpected. The service in general was great but Joe made my week! I will definitely be back🤗“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The place smelled amazing, the food was delicious, and the people were very friendly! Will definitely be back soon!“

“Great, family friendly brewery with fun community events and local food trucks outside available for patrons to enjoy. Their beer and seltzer are delicious (with loads of fun options on tap) and their staff are incredible. Stemma consistently makes their mark as one of the best breweries in BHAM and is one of our all time favorites, for sure!“

“I know this is a shameless plug, but I just finished eating a beef meat pie from Holly's, and I have to write this: I just found Holly's Meat Pies and had my first pie from them. I can't say enough about how delicious my pasty was!!!! Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 The crust is absolute perfection – not too dry, not oily. Perfectly cooked. The pie stayed hot even though I drove home. Wow! I got the beef, and the filling was perfect. The balance of the spices, herbs, the quality of the meat, the vegetables and the onion was superior and absolutely perfectly balanced. This lady has skills!! The taste is wonderful. Holly gave me samples of Ty's Barbecue Sauce and Pasty Sauce !!! Yummmmm! I tested the barbecue sauce because I couldn't resist – I'll be back for at least one bottle and it won't last long. And the pasty sauce was fantastic. I'm buying a bottle. I had never heard of putting any kind of sauce on my pasty, but I'll put this on it! The thing about the pasty is it's so good without the sauce, but it's great with the sauce, too. I alternated bites lol. 😆 Since the pasty is neither dry nor greasy, it stands on its own so perfectly that I couldn't imagine putting the sauce on it – until I tried! It kicks the flavor up a notch. I bought a frozen Chicken pie for later, and I "liberated" several menus - this is going to become a habit!!!! Can't wait to try the Vegan pie (🥧 mushrooms!!), and the lamb pie and the entire menu! Feels like I found a culinary goldmine that's right up my alley. I feel so lucky that this is in Bellingham, and that I don't live too far from it because I will be a frequent visitor. And they are so friendly- great, wholesome, quick, affordable food!! What's not to love?! 💕 I also want to say hello to Holly and to Andrea who I met today and who were so friendly & knowledgeable. Smart women getting it done!! ✅ They answered every question I had. If you haven't tried this place, you've got to go and try it. This is the ultimate easy portable health food! Great with soup 🥣, salad 🥗 and Bordeaux!! My belly is happy 😊! What a therapeutic experience!!“

“Epic food best sub shop ever and fun names for there subs great friendly staff and closest location to the Canadian border I've found this sub shops in 2 states in the USA and both of them epic for flavor they bring out in the food and the staff is fun layed back but they make it at a quick pase always gotten good service but there merch is only online wish they carried some in shops“

“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!“

“As someone from New Mexico, I was blown away by Dora's food. The flavors took me straight back to my roots—every bite reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. I almost felt like dancing with every bite! The care and authenticity in each dish is something you just don’t find everywhere. If you're anywhere near Bellingham, don’t miss out—this is hands down the best food I’ve tasted since leaving home. Highly recommended! 🌟“

“My boyfriend and I just had lunch here for the first time, both ordered pulled pork sandwiches... we were both floored at how amazing it was and the perfect combo of flavors and pork cooked to PERFECTION. We will 100% be back soon. so happy we stopped here!“

“It's insane how good this place is and their "Second Breakfast" menu is to DIE FOR. Their food stands out amongst other restaurants' brunch/breakfast menu with their items like the savory Shakshuka and thick-cut french toast and I've never been somewhere else in town that does giant cut-fries that are flavored; such a fun experience! Menu Faves: Street Frites (Salt & Vinegar Flavor), Pretzel & Beer Cheese, French Toast w/ Berries & Cream, Farmers Cheese Pancakes, Shakshuka & Postmodern Breakfast Burrito (Bonus point for their delicious Bloody Mary Cocktail)“

“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.“

“Pure Bliss made me a cake on short notice for my daughter’s 18th birthday 🩷 It was beautiful and delicious! Thank you again 🩷“

“Just incredible, honestly. The food, the service, the overall vibe, it's the whole package. Excellent food (We had the pesto gouda chicken and bacon balsamic Brussel sprouts). Very pleasant, attentive staff. Such a great experience, we will be back!“

“Such great bread. My first real introduction to GHB. I was a regular for while I was doing a contract job in the area. They have the best cinnamon bread and jalapeño cheddar bread excellent! I have tried many GHB since, they are all good but none of them have made their Cinnamon bread quite as good hasBellinghams. I don’t know the secret. Please the husband owners are so nice and everyone is so friendly.“

“Delicious and authentic Hawaiian Poke dishes with loads of fish options to choose from as well as some vegetarian options with tofu and veggies to top your rice. Definitely a staple in the Fairhaven area and the best place in town to get poke. Awesome crew that provides great service, too! Our Menu Faves: Spicy Tuna, Limu Kukui, Ginger Shoyu, Spam Misubis & Butter Mochi“

“🏴‍☠️ Zeya187’s Epic Raid on El Capitan’s 🏴‍☠️

When the moon crests Bellingham Bay and the townsfolk drift to slumber, that’s when the true marauders prowl. And for nigh on 15 years, this hungry pirate’s compass has pointed to one dock only — El Capitan’s.

Last night, me crew and I braved the brine and the bar brawls of Railroad Ave — storming through the mist like specters hungry for plunder. Our bounty? Polish sausages fatter than a cutlass handle, pretzels bigger than a ship’s wheel, cider cold as the North Sea, and local brew to drown a kraken.

I swear on the briny deep — ye haven’t lived until ye stand in that nautical den, teeth sunk deep in a pepper-smoked sausage dripping with secret sauces and grilled onions sweeter than a siren’s song. Each bite hits like cannon fire — smoky, rich, layered with that Cap’n Marc magic. This ain’t no landlubber dog stand — this is a vessel for flavor that’s braved two decades of storms and stayed afloat as the town’s tastiest legend.

The pretzels? Golden and pillowy, salt crystals catching the lantern light like buried treasure. We tore ‘em apart like ravenous buccaneers — dunkin’ ‘em in cheese and mustard while laughing off the drizzlin’ rain outside.

And oh, the cider and brew! A pint o’ local grog in one hand, sausage in the other — we toasted to old pirates, new legends, and the smell of the sea on our coats. Every sip soaked up the day’s toil and spat it back out with a grin.

El Capitan’s ain’t just food — it’s a damn adventure. The walls drip with maps, pirate lamps glow over stories traded by drifters, townies, and long-timers like me. Here, every bite’s a memory forged in grease, beer foam, and community grit.

So here’s me truth: ye can keep yer chain dogs, yer stale dive bars — El Capitan’s is where the real sea dogs gather. Marc and crew run the galley like a well-oiled galleon, feeding souls and bellies alike.

Fifteen years strong and the legend grows. I’ll be back, I’ll always be back — ‘cause when Zeya187 and crew sail in hungry, there’s no better harbor than this brine-soaked, bratwurst-sizzlin’, grog-pourin’ pirate den.

🦜 5/5 Skulls & Crossbones — Raise yer pint, bite yer brat, and let the good times roll!
See ye on the next raid, El Capitan’s — long may ye sail! ⚓️“

“D'Annas is AMAZING! Incredible Italian with a menu full of classic dishes that are sure to please everyone. Everything tastes like that perfect "made-from-scratch" taste that you love in Italian cooking and their pasta is DELISH! Plus, their desserts are SO GOOD and make for a great ending to your meal. A definite stop to make next time you're downtown. Menu Faves: Bruschetta, Puttanesca, Spaghetti Marinara, Chicken Parmesan, Gnocchi, Tiramisu, Cappuccino Cream Chocolate Mousse“

“Excellent, unique cider offerings. I had the raspberry rhubarb and it was exquisite! Surprisingly the food was also very good. A lot of times at these little pubs. The drinks are good but the food is just so so. I had the avocado toast for brunch. Really tasty! Can't go wrong going here.“

“Went there today with friends for breakfast...ordered the classic eggs benedict, was one of the best eggs Benny's I've ever had!! The atmosphere was amazing..got a table right away, no wait. Our server was the best! So friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be going back!!“

“#12 with fatty brisket is my fav, but the standard #4 is a good place to start for anyone. They have rice dishes, soups, fresh rolls and much more 😋 try them! The only bummer not open Sunday monday. Dine in and take out both are great!! If you dine out don't forget to grab utensils on ur way out.“

“The vegan panini was delicious!“

“Joeys always saving the day with bomb quesadillas and sugar free red Bull ❤️❤️❤️“

“I ordered a vegan chicken tiki masala pizza, it was really, really good. Unique flavors for a pizza. I ordered for pickup and the pizza was ready when I got there. The gal working the front counter was very friendly. I am excited to try the other vegan pizzas on the menu.“

“My wife and I had a fabulous experience last Friday. We've been to many restaurants in our 30+ years of world travel and Carnal is with the best of them. Our server Renee and all the staff were pitch perfect.“

“Erik gave great service, fantastic actually, with complimentary and customized service. Food was tasty. The only reason that it wasn’t a five star review was because the place had a funky smell sort of musty and Molloy throughout the whole place. Probably do for a renovation.“

“Black Sheep has easily become an iconic "Bellingham" restaurant with how much of a staple they are to so many. Love that it's 21+ and that they not only have a mega-awesome (and delish) cocktail menu, but additionally has food that's so good people constantly talk about it. Additionally fun to enjoy their breakfast menu when you swing by earlier in the day, and constantly just enjoy the atmosphere and service by staff. Faves Off the Menu: - Tacos: Carne Asada, Carnitas, Fried Chicken, Baja Fish, Pork Belly, Mushroom + Kale - Snacks: Chips + Guac, Queso Fundido, Salsa Trio, Queso Nachos - Breakfast: Potato & Black Bean Taco, Breakfast Burrito - Drinks: House Grapefruit/Raspberry-Lime/Blueberry-Lemon Soda (non-alcoholic), Dude-A-Rite (any flavor), House Paloma If you haven't yet checked out Black Sheep, consider it next on your list!“

“I give it a 3 out of 5. The food was wonderful. We got the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots and clam pasta dish. The place was very clean. the ONLY reason I cannot give this a place a 5 out of 5 is because the lady who was making looks like marscpone cheese at the front counter kept licking her fingers while making it ( I counted like 6 times in a 30 min wait time for food) then when they put the lid on the container they took thier finger and wiped off the excess and put it right in thier mouth and put it away. like i said the food was great ,but the whole time I got a whole show and it kinda ruined it for me especially since I drove over a hour to come to this place“

“The duck curry is absolutely fantastic! I’ve only eaten at this establishment a few times but have been impressed with everything I have ever ordered! Best Thai in Whatcom County hands down!“

“Celebrated our 6 year anniversary with some Fiamma Pizza and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, but the reason for this review is because the staff deserves all the praise! Lily was so so great! Friendly, attentive, and kind. I appreciate her helping us celebrate!“

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Bellingham. The food is always delicious and there are so many great choices on their menu. Friendly staff and reasonable prices! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Soooooo freaking good!!! Highly recommend!“

“Don’t eat here unless you want your phone stolen by a waitress!“

“Absolutely some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The gluten free pizza that my wife ordered had the best gluten free crust she has ever had. Amazing flavors and amazing crust. Top notch all around!“

“This place is DELICIOUS! So many great appetizers, sushi rolls and of course, the ramen! Plus, they have great service and really take the time to take care of each patron in the restaurant. Will definitely be back sometime soon to enjoy more! Our Faves off the Menu: 🍣 California Rolls with Tuna, Salmon, Albacore & Hamachi Nigiri 🍣 Vegetable Rolls 🍜 Hokkai Ramen 🍜 Vegetable Ramen 🍜 Donkatsu Chicken“

“Hands down the best Thai food around the Bellingham area!!! I’ve been going to Maikham for a couple of years now and have never had anything but an amazing experience. The taste is incredible and their staff is awesome. Usanee, the head chef is very nice and personally makes sure you’re taken care of. I highly recommend!!!“

“Great selection of beers. Fun place to hang out“

“The Souvlaki meal with pork, chicken or beef on a skewer seasoned, along with the rice that is the best rice I have tasted and the Greek salad that comes with it with the excellent dressing happens to be the best restaurant meal I have ever had. I have been coming here for the last 30 years to order that meal only when I am in town and it has always been consistently prepared the same way. I recommend that meal to anyone.“

“We love this restaurant. Authentic food made fresh by Korean chef. Highly recommend ! Enjoy“

“Amazing food and experience plus fast and attentive, absolutely a win win. I got the shrimp scampi and it is not your typical. Extremely flavorful and amazing presentation.“

“Mallard is THE Bellingham ice cream shop. Always mixing up fun, funky flavors in addition to classics and such a fun atmosphere to enjoy. Their staff always rocks AND they even have a fridge full of pints of their ice cream available for purchase. Plus, they're consistently creating fun collaborations with other local businesses in the area, most notably, collabs with dessert shops that bring in their dynamic flavors to match Mallard's. Menu Faves: Super Chocolate, Mint Oreo, Coconut Chocolate Chunk with Almonds, Tony's Cold Crew (Gluten-Free), Cookies & Coconut (Gluten-Free/Vegan)“

“A hidden gem. They used to have a buffet, which I didn't like, but now everything is ordered fresh off the menu. The dish my wife ordered was too spicy for her, and the waiter insisted on replacing it with mild buttered chicken at no extra cost. The buttered chicken was excellent. If you like Indian food, give it a try.“

“we tried Avenue Bread as part of the Amazing Co's Mystery Picnic. We enjoyed a delicious salad with cheese candied walnuts, avocados and bacon with a wonderful dressing and homemade bread. It was a wonderful treat and we loved every bite!“

“This place is lowkey a silent sleeper because I feel like more people should know about how awesome Greene's is! Breakfast, lunch, dinner; they're all an option! Great pizza and delicious breakfast/brunch options! Love that they're in the part of town that's nestled right between south/central Bellingham (aka the Sunnyland Neighborhood), and everything on their menu is a hit. Menu Faves: Biscuts & Gravy, Breakfast Burrito, Sunnyland Scramble, Chicken & Waffles, Huevos Rancheros“

“The Empty Bowls benefit was a huge success, thanks to the wonderful restaurants and bakeries who donated soup and bread. African Peanut soup and the Split Pea soup were crowd pleasers! Everyone enjoyed live music, picking out a local artist hand-made/thrown bowl, and eating delicious soup and bread. Thank you Colophon for supporting the essential work of @bellinghamfoodbank and @opportunity_council project Maple Alley Inn to fight hunger in our community.“

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