50 Best Coffee Shops near Ferndale

“Been coming here since middle school and have had fantastic experiences every time even when the line is wrapped around the building during rush hour. Service is fast and the drinks are delicious along with many lovely flavor options with and without sugar to choose from. Anytime I have a friend in from out of town I suggest or bring them here for a coffee, milkshake, or cinnamon roll which are amazingly doughy, soft, and fluffy like many of their sweet treat options. I will continue to come here for many more years to come as long as it's running thank you!“

“I do love their coffee but I have recently caught at least one barista tipping herself when I use “Tap”. The girl that did it had at least one finger nail painted as a strawberry. So just make sure to finish out your transaction yourself.“

“Friendly staff and fast! Thank you“

“The ladies who serve me today, their customer service was amazing. Super friendly super nice on point conversational. The food is great. The drink is great. Don’t need to ask for anything more.

I would highly recommend this coffee shop.“

“Got iced chai tea, iced caramel macchiato and a hard ice cream chocolate milk shake. All 3 drinks are amazing!!! Skip Starbucks and come here! You can taste the coffee. Not watered down. Milk shake was thick, creamy and so good! Customer service was impeccable!“

“Tower Barista is a must-visit for coffee lovers. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance that makes you want to stay awhile. The baristas are not only friendly but also incredibly skilled, crafting every drink with care and precision.

The coffee is absolutely phenomenal. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic espresso, a velvety latte, or something more adventurous, they nail it every time. The variety of syrups and flavors is a bonus for those who like to mix things up.

Beyond the coffee, the service is top-notch. The staff is quick, attentive, and always ready with a recommendation. Being open 24 hours makes this the perfect spot for a late-night caffeine fix or an early morning start.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Tower Barista. It’s more than just coffee, it’s an experience.“

“have amazing employees who go through so much! best McDonald's 💕 they bust their butts off. proud of all of you!(: i love the salads and mcchickens“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“better coffee than most places.“

“my go-to! they have the BEST coffee and redbull along with really good prices! i will say the ai menus they make- the drinks never really look how they do on the menu. i went there the other day because i had seen they posted a drink from “the sandlot” menu on facebook. i went there hoping it looked the same as the one on the menu and i unfortunately didn’t get that. it has happened a few times as well- not just this one time but i feel like if you’re gonna advertise your drinks the way you do- you should make them exactly how they look or at least ask the customer if they want how it’s advertised. other than that, i love this little coffee stand. the girls are always super sweet. they make conversation and it’s never “too much”. at least not for me!“

“I discovered this place while vacationing in Lynden. They make a really good bone dry cappuccino. Great place to hang out early in the morning before any breakfast places open in downtown.“

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

“Nice, i love this place. Peaceful“

“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“

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

“Muddy Waters is my favorite espresso stand in Whatcom County, hands down.

I've been ordering from Muddy Waters for a long time now and honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review. Every single person I've encountered there has been so friendly, and I really love their values as a local business.

I always order the same thing (decaf latte with coconut milk, since I have dietary stuff going on), and it is consistently my favorite latte around. They use Cafe Darte coffee, and it's just good, quality coffee every time. I've never once gotten a bad drink from them, and at this point I've ordered more times than I can count.

Every once in a while I'll treat myself to their sausage breakfast wrap with a side of salsa, and it hits the spot every time. I love how they cook it. I honestly haven't branched out much beyond my usual order, but that's a testament to how happy I am with what I already get. Maybe I'll try the breakfast sandwich one of these days.

The service is fast too. Even when there are four or five cars ahead of me, I don't feel like I'm waiting long at all.
One thing to know: the parking lot is small and shared with the neighboring business building, so it can get a little tight when the espresso stand has a line. It's just part of the experience there, and regulars know to expect it. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of if it's your first visit.

If you're local, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great coffee, sweet people, and it's nice to support a business right in the neighborhood.“

“Love Woods Coffee. This location is quite new, great vibes, and a friendly staff. Drinks are consistently good. We accidentally forgot to request alternative milk and they quickly replaced the drink no questions asked even though it was entirely our fault. Thanks for the great service!“

“Cool little cafe in a beautiful historical building downtown. Great pastries, breakfast bagel, and london fog. A wonderful small business I'm glad I got to help support today. Fair warning, Shirley has the vibe of a barista raised by old-school tattoo artists. Tell her what you want, she'll make it, don't expect a peppy smiley dutch bros girl.“

“Great employees with a great vibe.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite coffee stands in whatcom county. Coffee is always on point and their breakfast sandwiches are delicious. 🖤 The owner and baristas are super cool too! I definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Like diabetes and a heart attack in a cup, love it!“

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

“I always have an amazing experience at this location my coffee is always perfect and all the baristas are always so sweet and personable. Today my barista had some blue tips in her hair and was training a new girl. They were both amazing but the girl with blue hair really made my day.“

“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.“

“I had the Birthday Cake Mocha Iced and it was very delicious. It was my first time stopping in and I’ll definitely be back with my daughter. Barista was very nice ❤️“

“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.“

“This is a great place for youth to hang out and enjoy fabulous food and drinks. We had so much fun playing foosball that we came back the next day. The ambience is unbelievable. It is a great Christian hang out for youth and families alike.“

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

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

“We LOVE WOODS!!!! Vanilla iced coffee with a banana bread hits the spot! Over and over again! Thanks!❤️☕️☕️☕️“

“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!“

“Fast efficient. Friendly. Also- I occasionally get whole sandwiches with coffee. The Lady who made my sandwich and coffee was wonderful. Some cruisin locations include too much gristle/fat waste. This location gave me trimmed meat, just right amount of portions. Small details matter. Thank you Lynden Cruisin.“

“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.“
