Interior (10/29/22)
Marie B.

For the past four years when I do road trip therapy up to Skagit and Whatcom counties or detour from Vancouver, BC or Lummi Island, I tend to stop by my usual favorites. This time I decided to check out Ashuri Baklava and Cafe in downtown Bellingham (10/29/22). Looks like it has been open for a little over a year. Credit goes to fellow Yelp Elite, Michael B and the chefs/owners at Hamdi in Seattle for putting this spot on my radar screen. I lucked out and found parking nearby, but unfortunately couldn't stay longer and indulge in a Turkish coffee and treats onsite. It is a tiny spot with limited indoor and sidewalk seating. I enjoyed the bright interior, decor, and looking at available merch on display. Clearly much care are given to featured curated items. Also as an aside, there are caffeine free, dairy free, vegan options available. The items I did get to go though included a selection of baklava from the lower of two front shelves in the display case, spinach and feta borek, and rose locum (Turkish delight). Amazing, exceptional quality and flavors! Another terrific addition to my road trip rotation!

I don't really eat baklava but I'll review this the best I can. there was a nice surprise waiting for me. normally it was 30 for 10 pieces but the person behind the counter said he would cut me a deal for 25 for 10 pieces. So naturally I had to get the super sampler to get a nice variety of baklava. I will say 3 of them tasted the same and the chocolate one was distinguishable as well as the pistachio. the pistachio especially was drying and I feel like it was way too unbaklavay. definitely check it out for some great baklava there's parking nearby but the interior is quit small so not the best place to sit down and eat baklava.

Food: 4.8 -- I tried Salep for the first time (a hot beverage w/milk, cinnamon, and a flour made from wild orchid tubers), which was really lovely. I tried 2 pieces of sweet baklava, both of which were delightful. I also ordered a small portion of Turkish sausage (off-menu), and I was surprised at how much I loved that because I usually don't enjoy sausages that much. And I got 2 kinds of savory pastries called "borek" (1 potato-onion, and 1 spinach-feta). It was all yummy (I found the spinach-feta borek a tiny bit dry, which is the only reason I didn't give the food a full "5." A minor quibble, to be sure, but that made me wonder if there's a hot sauce (or any kind of sauce) that's commonly used in Turkish cuisine.) Service: 5 -- The service was friendly, warm, and accommodating. Ambiance: 5 -- The atmosphere inside was cozy and inviting, with 4 tiny bistro tables plus a couple of club chairs w/coffee table. The vibe was mellow and relaxing. Definitely worth a visit.

Inside.

I loved this place! The inside was beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. It sounds like two brothers who were originally from Turkey own the place - but I totally overheard that, so I could be wrong. I had the cardamom coffee, my husband had the lemon hot fruit tea, we each had a mussel baklava, and we bought some Turkish delight. Pros - The beverages were made quickly, were fresh, and delicious. - The Turkish delight is made sort-of local in Vancouver by a man who uses real fruit juice and was delish. - Everything was super clean. The gentleman behind the counter was cleaning up. - The staff was friendly and helpful. Cons - Not really a con, but the baklava wasn't as crisp as I'm used to. It may be a variety I've never had before?

Passing by from our Vancouver day trip, my gf and I wanted some coffee but saw this walking around. Ive never tried Turkish coffee and here is my chance. Amazing coffee indeed! The gentleman working was very kind and the walnut baclava was also delicious! I will definitely come back if in town again.

Turkish breakfast with tea and baklava!
Deborah O.

A most relaxing place to try Turkish coffee (sip, not gulp) and have a healthy Turkish breakfast and/or a baklava. Peaceful and charming room, great owners to chat with, everything prepared with great care. My regular breakfast out, but they have sandwiches and baklava and more. Also, some retail items. Rugs too! Great value.

Traditional Turkish breakfast plate, spinach börek and Turkish coffee.  Everything was absolutely delicious! I loved it!
Desree W.

The food is fantastic. The service is wonderful. The owner is so nice and gracious. The ambiance is so warm and inviting. There's traditional Turkish music playing. There are other items for sale such as Turkish lamps and rugs, spices, etc. If you're in Bellingham, you have to check them out. It is a great place!

Aside from all the incredible Mexican eats in Bellingham who knew located in the heart of downtown Bellingham was this beautiful Turkish cafe. The cafe was decorated with these gorgeous Turkish lamps on the ceiling. It was such a treat to discover this side of the culture's cuisine! Ashuri serves a list of traditional Turkish drinks and timeless Turkish desserts and savoury pastries as well. We ordered the Kadayif + Pistachio Baklava +Turkish Coffee + Menengic. The Turkish Coffee has a nice bold flavour. The Menengic is creamy, not caffeinated and made of terebinth berries. Both drinks are in a small cup that is meant to be sipped slowly until you hit the thick grounds on the bottom. It was the perfect reminder for us to slow down, live in the present and enjoy every sip and bite!

Treats

A very nice place for coffee and exotic Turkish sweets (and some savory treats). At first I was confused. Is this a breakfast place or what? Well it is not a breakfast place. Ashuri opens at 10 am just on time for coffee break. Ashuri closes at 8 pm. Which seems to be a good time to stop drinking coffee (if you want to sleep anyway) Ashuri most abundant offering is Turkish coffee. The coffee is a real treat. If you haven't had Turkish coffee before, we'll it isn't Starbucks. Turkish coffee is like espresso with the grounds in the bottom of the cup. The eating at Ashuri is great. All of the products are air shipped in from Turkey (Istanbul). I only tried a few of the many varieties of Turkish treats (oh yes the have Baklava). All of the treats were great. If you need something Harry try the Borek.

6 pieces of 3 different baklava, including a pistachio baklava.

Amazing baklava! My wife and I recently visited as part of a Yelp Event. We really enjoyed meeting and talking to Kris and Lukas, the owners. Great guys, very passionate about culture cuisine! I don't ever drink hot coffee - it's cold brew for me. But the Turkish coffee they served was very smooth! We loved the samples of baklava we were offered, and bought a full box for home. I guess I've never had authentic baklava, because these treats were awesome! Nice addition to the Bellingham scene. We'll make it a point to stop by whenever we're in B'ham.

So nice to see a new coffee shop opening up here in Bellingham. And it's not just a coffee shop, it's a coffee shop that brew Turkish coffee and offers baked pastries like Baklava. First time having Turkish coffee and no sure if it's for me. Super smooth and strong..even my small cup sampler was strong. I am that coffee drinker that needs cream in their coffee, so that might be why I wasn't into this style. Also as a Elite Yelper, I was given some of their pastries to try. I love Baklava and can't seem to locate a place here in Bellingham that would satisfied my Baklava cravings. That being said, this place would be where I would go if I need to grab some Baklava.

Baklava
Michael B.

It's a unique addition to the Bellingham restaurant seen . Small cafe with great ambiance. We were welcomed by Chris , who gave us a brief overview of the menu . Baklava was crunchy and tasted fresh . Turkish coffee is authentic, make sure your aware of the sludge at the bottom of cup ( as you would expect with real Turkish coffee ) . Place has a gd vibe , with great genuine hospitality . Definitely stop by and give this place a shot .

Counter

I am so happy! Tipped off by daughters I was cued to the opening of Ashuri. Entering the front doors and you are standing in a Turkish Cafe. Immediately I was greeted by the wonderfully handsome staff. You will love them. Turkish delight samples were quickly offered. My choice was Borek (a light pastry with cheese) which they warmed so the outside was crispy. Assorted Turkish Delight, Pistachio Roll, and Baklava. All completely delicious. Will be back for Turkish Coffee. This is a gem. Will be back often.

I was having a terrible day. The pistachio baklava changed everything. I'll be back and next time I will eat in with some cardamom coffee.

This place is best for…read morelarger groups as there is limited seating in the sense that there are a few tables that seat 6+ people easily, but we went around 3pm when it wasn't busy so we didn't feel guilty taking one of the larger tables to ourselves when it was only half occupancy. We tried the bioluminescence drink and the toasty marshmallow latte. The bioluminescence drink is very aesthetic and drinks like a soda / energy drink, though it is a one and done for me as I don't feel the sparkles are the most healthy thing. The toasty marshmallow latte was a bit pricy at $7.50 but they had 3 pieces of toasted marshmallow that is perfect (s'mores like but not burnt) and there is a lot of drink. It was on the sweeter side for me. They have Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the side but it was a bit stale, but I won't be docking off a star as there's not much to it and everything else was delicious. We opted to dine in for the aesthetics and I'd recommend doing so as there's higher price point doesn't seem as worthwhile if you take these drinks to-go
