One of my regular spots to bring out of town guests. Both their inside space and their fantastic deck are attractive and comfortable. A tasting flight introduces some terrific local beverages. My current fave is the POG (passion, orange, guava) cider, a tart but flavorful dry, thirst and heat quenching plus food friendly beverage. So far I have only had the Cascadian mushroom and Margherita pizzas and arugula and Arcadian salads, and all were very well done. The service has been attentive and pleasant, and they happily put up with requests for photos on that photogenic deck. Soon I'll return to try some of their entrees--the prawn/mushroom risotto or Copper River sockeye sound fantastic. read more

Excellent. Daughter grad celebration was spot on. Food and cider were on point. No complaints from the group.

Fantastic brunch place! The chicken and waffles were excellent. And the ciders were high quality too! read more

Huge selection of incredibly delicious ciders plus very high quality food and an awesome location. If you like cider then this place is heaven. Highly recommended! read more

you gotta try the new fall menu! The half chicken is one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. the broth alone is Michelin caliber. while you're at it, it's the best chicken and waffles west of the Mississippi and the pork belly is a staple at our table. pair it all with their old fashioned and you've got a meal that compliments autumn in the great PNW like a warm blanket and a bonfire. comfort food elevated to nirvana. the service is excellent. I feel like family when I walk through the doors and the ambiance is warm, inviting, and comfortable with music that I would play for my own guests at home. read more

Oh my how I love Bellingham Cider and going here! I have been here for Brunch with their awesome Bloody Mary bar and their excellent choices, for special events like their 4th of July and just for dinner. Customer service is nicely done and I have enjoyed my time here. They have at least one vegetarian item on the lunch/dinner menu and more on the breakfast menu. My only wish is there were more vegetarian options on the lunch/dinner menu but quality, atmosphere and customer service is top notch. read more

This is the restaurant I didn't know existed but totally won't forget. Finding it was an adventure in itself, tucked in beside the Bellingham Museum, it's a hidden treasure. As you walk down the alley and onto the patio you are greeted by both the fantastic views of the waterfront and the charming hostess. We chose to dine inside as the temperature was a bit chilly and right away I knew this was a cool place. Casual enough for jeans and t-shirts but fancy enough for cloth napkins. The ambience is what I like to call urban-rustic. Concrete floors, wooden tables, industrial lighting, charcoal grey walls, interesting posters... pretty cool place. The drink list was pretty extensive but we wanted to try their ciders so we ordered three different ones- Blackberry ginger, Dry Rainier Cherry and POG (passionfruit, orange, guava). All were delicious. For starters we ordered the unctuous Braised Pork Belly with spiced jam. Rich and unexpected, it gave bacon a whole new meaning. My entrée was the Dungeness Crab Brown Butter Spaghetti. Salt Pepper & Oil spaghetti, local Dungeness Crab, brown butter, organic arugula, lemon and mizithra, topped with toasted bread crumb. It was like mac & cheese but on a whole different level. The cheesy pasta goodness was there as was the crunchy topping but the fresh crab and brown butter elevated it to the penthouse. I could have licked that bowl clean. The other dish we tried was the Pork Tenderloin with rosemary spaetzle, mustard cream sauce and seared brussels sprouts. The pork was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy and slathered in a mustard sauce so yummy it should be a sin. The spaetzle was flavorful and crunchy, which was a very unexpected surprise but I absolutely loved it and now I don't think I can go back to boring old boiled and buttered spaetzle ever again. 5 stars for this place. read more

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, back before Covid. I am eager for a return. The kitchen is professionally trained, deeply constructed menu, when I was there before Covid, spot on. read more

What is there not to love about this place!? First off the staff is amazing. Our server, Ryan, was top notch. The cider is delicious and the food is insane. This is our second time eating here and like I remember previously it's an amazing spot. Stopped in to eat before we went to a show, service was fast and so was the food. I have zero complaints and I will definitely be back. Btw/ the pork loin is AAAAAHHHHMAZING. very many gluten free options and they are labeled and they care. read more

I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance are always on point. I especially love the pork with rosemary spaetzle and have ordered it several times. We finally tried their brunch menu a couple weeks ago and the crab Benedict is to die for. Definitely recommend Bellingham Cider Company to anyone who wants a nice quiet date night! read more

I highly recommend. There is fantastic ambiance both indoor and out. The food and drink were spectacular. The customer service was the best I've experienced in a long time. We will definitely be back. read more

Had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally got to try it and so happy I stopped by. The ciders were yummy but the food was even better. I wish it was a little less in price but great portions and very high quality food so can't complain but wish they had happy hour! Can't wait to try the rest of menu!

Excellent food, nice service, friendly atmosphere. My daughter and I had a delicious meal here the other night. The burger was spot on and the kale Cesar was perfect it even had crispy capers. My cider was crisp and not to sweet. 3nd time and the meals have been consistently good. We will be back. read more

I was having a cider at the bar when my daughter finished dance class upstairs and she and my husband came down. I asked if we could sit at a table and the bartender said nothing in the lounge as it was 21+ but we could sit at the tables next to it. Shortly thereafter someone brought us menus. Then I watched multiple discussions happen about us being there amongst employees, with the bartender and server staring at us. No one else ever came to the table and we decided to leave. This situation was so ridiculous. I get a busy restaurant, but instead of passive aggressively walking around staring at us, talking about us, and then ignoring us, just come up and say I'm sorry there's been a mistake we have a wait or whatever. Absolute juvenile service behavior here. But hey.....my cider was good I guess. read more

Absolutely LOVED this place. The service is wonderful and the food is great. I had the chicken and waffles which I don't normally order because I really don't care for that combo , but was convinced to try them. Best chicken and waffles ever! Very buttery and crisp. A must try for everyone. I went another day and tried the steak kabobs and did not like them at all. Meat was chewy and tough and the couscous was cold and not very tasty. read more

Great food and great service. Chicken and waffles are amazing! Great cider selection.

Fantastic outdoor atmosphere with inside options. The fried chicken sandwich was perfect. We tried one with Buffalo and one without. My advice would be to get the plain chicken sandwich and the Buffalo sauce on the side ($1 surcharge). Bonus star for excellent restrooms. read more

We had a great dinner here. The fish dishes were delicious. Well seasoned and unique flavors. Everything was very fresh. Definitely go there. read more

Service and atmosphere was great. Fries were great. cider was great. We lost it at the burgers. 3 of the 4 of us tonight got burgers and all got sick. For as expensive as it was for the burgers it was super disappointing for 3 of us to get extreme stomach discomfort and ruined the rest of the evening. Won't be coming back. read more

Great food, fun place to hang with friends, creative drinks. Atmosphere was friendly and casual. All staff very professional and well informed. read more

We went to Bellingham Cider Company last night for a birthday celebration, and was a great place to try out with a group! Great service, delicious farm to table eats and good drinks. I had the crab cakes and they were so delicious; two large, meaty cakes with a delightful crust, paired with a lemony and buttery salad. I tried blood orange cider, which was really good - and not orange in color ;) I'm excited to go back and try other menu items and sit out on the patio area to watch the sunset on warmer nights. read more

It was good experience. They have large outdoor seating area, which is the main reason that I decided to eat there. The Sunday brunch did not blow my mind, but definitely okay. Their 5 sample tasting was good, each has different flavor. Overall the experience was good on a sunny Sunday noon. read more

Stopped by early Saturday afternoon for a cup of blueberry cider ($5) and pork belly dish. Cider was great! Next time, I'd like to try a sampler which comes with 5 different flavors ($10). Serving size of Pork belly was quite small, but soft, juicy and delicious. If you don't mind fatty meat, Pork belly could be a good choice. Sadly no complimentary bread. Since I wasn't that hungry, pork belly alone was ok, but if I'm hungry, it wouldn't be enough. 土曜日の午後に立ち寄ってみました。ブルーベリーサイダー（5ドル）は美味しかったです。ポークベリーが柔らかくて美味しいと聞いたので試してみました。お腹がすいていたらこれ一つでは足りないかな、と思うほど少なかったですが、お味は良かったです。ただ、脂身が多いので、こってりしすぎの感もありました。パンもついてこないのも残念でした。 read more

Very good variety of a handful of ciders. We tried watermelon mint, dry, orange spice, winter cider, and blackberry and they were all really good. (Though the best one i our opinion was definitely the winter cider). It is a bit hard to find considering it seems like it is in the back door of city hall and the number of ciders doesn't come close to a place like schillings in freemont, but everything we had we liked a lot. read more

The outdoor patio has a great view of the park and the bay beyond. Unfortunately the food was just average. I will be fair to them and say they've only been reopened for a few weeks, so maybe they can do better. read more

A lot of hype about their Sunday brunch made for a mediocre experience. My husbands burger was way overcooked and it was sent back and the replacement burger was just the same. It took a long time for the server to come to our table to get our orders, it look a long time for the drinks and the food to get to the table. It was really loud for a larger space. The cider flight was good but that's the only thing I would go back for. read more

Unfortunately underwhelmed with the experience here. Went here with a large group but called ahead to make sure that could work. Had to wait for an hour and a half to be seated but the host was actually communicating with us which was super awesome. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the shared plates the best. The cauliflower was super delicious. They don't do any substitutions which is normal for New York but this isn't New York. They also don't have fresh lemons just lemon juice which I found bizarre. We had a 5 year old with us and when we asked for ketchup for her fries the waiter rolled her eyes at us. She's 5. She likes ketchup. There shouldn't be eye rolling. both pastas were under salted and the spaghetti could be made more to your liking at home for half the price. But the chicken and waffles. Oh. Boy. Those were amazing. The sage butter was fantastic. The chicken was crisp and the waffle nice and fluffy. The food was all pretty good but wouldn't knock my socks off. My biggest issue is with the inside of the restaurant and the staff. The host was super awesome and amazing but unfortunately didn't catch their name. Our waitress rolled her eyes at a five year old so that's a no go from me. And whenever people were bringing out our food they wouldn't say anything to us or even look at us. The inside of the restaurant is just too loud. It's too loud and too dark and too trendy. I'm not normally a Scrooge about these things but I couldn't even hear the people sitting next to me. I might try it again? Maybe when it's a little older it'll be better and we were a huge group so I get why we had a less than stellar time but still not the happiest. read more

Finally!! The southern gods (or wherever this dish originated) have blessed Bellingham with a legit fried chicken and waffles dish! Solid waffle with juicy fried chicken. The butter could use a little less sage but it's very tasty. Syrup had nice body (lol, can't believe I write this stuff). But what about the cider, you say? Pretty good ~ we had the flight and swapped out the blood orange for the blackberry ginger. Most had a watery forward compared to ciders I'm used to but easy to drink. Liked the dry cider the best - it seemed the least...diluted(?). My husband really liked the Spanish perry for its Pilsner aftertaste. Then we added a taster of the Elemental Nitrogen Açaí - highly recommended; the hubs says, "It has a cream soda nose." We also ordered the cauliflower, roasted shishito peppers and arugula salad with salmon - all very good. Service was great - our waitress was super nice and down to earth. Love the decor - nice clean lines yet warm and earthy in an updated way. Love the wood box lamp shades. Pretty neat location in the back of a building overlooking the bay. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to indulge - $80 for all of this including tip for two people. Maybe we ordered a lot? ‍ Enjoy! And thanks Bellingham Cider Co. for taking the plunge and opening a rad, fresh place! read more

Bellingham Cider - Fried chicken and waffles, arugula salad with salmon, roasted shishito peppers, and a hungry man - Cideries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

We have a dinner group that meets monthly and decided to go back to Cider Company, because we so enjoyed the food. My favorite is the Pork Tenderloin, but every dish we have had there has just the best sauces and flavors. They often have specials, like the Mahi Mahi, which my partner enjoyed, or the go to Risotto, Shrimp and Grits and the Short Rib Papparadelle. Members have paired the meal with flights of cider, local beers and hand-crafted cocktails. My favorite bartender, Riley, made a special delicious cocktail, light on alcohol, just for me. The servers have been great and we are looking forward to warmer weather and meals on the deck. read more

This is the first restaurant to compel me to write a yelp review, and it's incredible. Having been there 3 times just last week, I've tried a few things already. The cider is beyond impressive, as it's not painfully sweet like most ciders. I got the flight of their in house ciders and couldn't pick a favorite, they were all so different and so good. I'd pressed, I'd go with the Spanish Perry since it's so unique with its wheaty after taste. Then there's the food. Holy cow, these guys know what they are doing. The burger is a great rendition of a standard burger and the fries are perfect, which is surprisingly hard to find. The chicken and waffle is what a chicken and waffle should be--nice crispy chicken over a thick hearty waffle, with some seriously good real maple syrup. But the crowning glory so far is the risotto. OH MY GOODNESS THE RISOTTO. The cheapest thing on the dinner menu and it is so savory and delicious, the balsamic drizzle really sends it over the top. So far we've only had the butterscotch pot de creme from the dessert menu, but it's the perfect finish, topped with a little black sea salt to balance the flavors. This place is a must. Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, quick and accommodating service. Amazing food. Amazing cider. I'm so glad this exists in Bellingham, keep it up guys! read more

Bellingham Cider - Cideries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Awesome. What a great addition to the Bellingham food and drink scene. They serve several of their own ciders, as well as other outside ciders, beer and mixed drinks. We only had the Bellingham Cider Company ciders while we were there, and they were all extremely good. Sharing ciders with others at our table I had a chance to sample the Bellingham Cider Co Dry, Blood Orange, Semi Sweet, Spanish Perry, and the Blackberry Ginger ciders, and all were very tasty. I think my favorite is the Blood Orange cider, or perhaps the Blackberry Ginger. When I saw Chicken and Waffles on the menu, I knew that I needed to give that a try, and I was very pleased. They chicken was tender and moist on the inside and outside crunchy on the outside and went very well with the waffles. All of the food that they serve is fresh, nothing frozen. They chef knows what he is doing, and that shows through in the quality of food. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They even offered a small sampler of one of the ciders to try before ordering it. Prices were very reasonable at $5 for a glass of cider. As far as the location, it is a bit hidden if you don't know where you are going, you can either walk around the back side of the building for the main entrance, or sneak in the back way down an alley. I look forward to returning to the Bellingham Cider company in the near future. read more

Working next door and watching their progress, it's great to see them have a great opening night. It was packed inside and the turnout was fantastic. The interior is beautiful, reclaimed Apple crates for lights, beautiful wood counters and tables, it's warm and comfortable. I'm a big fan of the open kitchen, and I like the variety of seating (booth seating, table tops, bar counter, and high tops). The service and owners are fantastic, super friendly and helpful with the menu. The entrance to the restaurant is kind of tricky but the signage and lighting really helps, check their Facebook page for additional parking information also. With regard to the food it's amazing. It's so refreshing to have a brewery/cidery without the typical burgers/tacos/food truck scene. The menu is varied and has a little bit of everything. I've been lucky enough to try their roasted cauliflower, squash, and braised short ribs which is all delicious. This night our group split the beet salad (sweet roasted beets with a citrusy vinaigrette over greens with creamy goat cheese, wonderful combo), Pork Belly (served over a berry sauce, delicious combo of sweet and savory with tender pork with a crisp crackling bottom), Shishito Peppers (deliciously roasted, served with a delicately smoked yogurt), Mushroom Risotto (very earthy with a perfectly poached egg, parmigiana reggiano), and Fries (could be crispier, but good, glad to see house cut fries for sure). The food is top notch, locally sourced and delicious, very vegetarian friendly. OH AND THE CIDER, a great variety of fruit forward, dry and semi sweet. Can't wait to come back!!!! read more

During two weeks of holiday break, tons of family time and the Christmas frenzy I found myself here on two occasions and am pleased to report on this five star local joint. What a win, hamsters, and I hope you all frequent it and give it the support it deserves. My first time in was for dinner with a group of 8. We dug into the ciders, the cocktail list + items from the dinner menu. We were happy all around. Notable dishes include the aioli sauce served with the Kennebec Potato Fries, the Cauliflower (Florettes, coconut curry, mint pistou) and the Pork Tenderloin (served with rosemary spaetzle, mustard cream sauce, fried Brussels sprouts, roasted squash). If you go for the Sweet Corn Risotto it definitely needs the bacon added for the proper balance or it's too mild and milky. Service was top notch and our check was split without any guff and with ease. The very next morning I met a friend here for brunch and ohmyword, what a treat. From the Bloody Mary & Mimosa do-it-yourself bar to the seriously delightful service and coffee, I was smitten before I even ordered food. A pal and I split the classic Benny, and it was the best I've had in town. I told my parents to get in their immediately as that is their most favorite breakfast item. Super flavorful sauce, perfect egg, crispy bacon. We also ordered the berry waffle which needs nothing else but what it comes with. This dish is served dressed in a delightful berry compote, topped with mascarpone whip cream and ready to party. A few notes: Parking in back is available, I'd suggest calling ahead with a large party or to see what the wait is like in advance. Tip your servers and give 'em all the stars! read more

First time here and had a great 1st experience! We started off with a cider sampler and fell in love with the dry cider and watermelon mint cider. Appetizer was very memorable with truffle oil french fries and fried pork belly with blood orange and strawberry jam....I seriously couldn't stop eating it!!! The food was fresh, local and very well paired. The braised brisket on a bed of sweet potato mash and pomegranate sauce was great as well as the chicken and waffles! A super fun hip restaurant that Im looking forward to visiting again! read more

This place will always have a special place in my heart because it's the first place I had a date with my sweet partner, but the FOOD. The fries are out of this world, the fish and chips are some of the best I've ever had and the cider is crisp, cold and seasonal. (Please make sure you try the caramel apple in fall, HIGHLY recommend.) Grabbing a growler of their cider for a hike in the Chuckanuts or just for your own happy hour at home is a great idea during this pandemic, but I hope I get to catch one sunset from their patio before this wild 2020 year comes to an end. read more

The BEST food and atmosphere I have experienced in most of my years of world travel. I don't take time to do reviews, but when you get flavors and atmosphere this good, you have to say something. Staff was amazingly friendly, made our family time memorable. The fried chicken pancake with seasoned butter and syrup was perfectly cooked, the burger was shared by the group and loved, the spaghetti with fresh crab a winner for lighter appetites. So winning menu all around. read more

First and foremost, i highly recommend you get here early (right as they open) as their prime outdoor patio seating fills up quickly. Said outdoor patio seating has a killer view of the bellingham waterfront! And now for the food. We got the French fries, baby back ribs, carne pizza, peach salad and fried chicken and waffles. French fries: 4/5.The flavor was amazing but we got a lot of small ends of potato wedges. I looked at the tables next to us and they had full wedges. This was probably just a kitchen error. Baby back ribs: 4.5. The flavor was really great but the ribs were kind of dry. Peach salad: 5/5. Super flavorful without an overdose of dressing! Great appetizer to start Fried chicken and waffles: 6/5. Yes, that good. The fried chicken tenders were thinly but perfectly breaded, and it's hard to go wrong with waffles. Carne pizza: 5/5. Everybody at our table enjoyed the pizza! Cider flight: 5/5. We just asked our friendly waitress for her recs and none of them disappointed! read more

I was down in Bellingham shopping for the day and the BCC was one of the top rated restaurant on Yelp. It seemed like my type of vibe and menu! It was a little hard to find the entrance, I almost left because it had a strip of stores that were boarded up and I thought it might have closed. Thankful I double checked the street address and explored a bit. You have to walk down this alley type thing where there is a hanging sign and the entrance is in the back. It had a cute patio area with hanging lights that would be fun to visit in the summer. I was greeted by the manager and she gave me a nice table by the window. Considering downtown Bellingham was absolutely dead on a Thursday night, the restaurant was actually quite full. I was greeted by my server and asked the basic questions, what he recommended and what was most popular (though I already had an idea through other yelp reviews). He seemed to know a lot about the menu and was very passionate about a lot of dishes which is always a good sign! Even though it was quite busy, I ordered and my food came out in literally less than 10 minutes, I was shocked. I settled with the pork belly served on a blackberry compote and the crab spaghetti. The pork belly was amazing - fall apart on your fork tender, juicy and flavorful. It was very heavily seasoned (both salt and pepper) but the blackberry compote sweetness cut through it a bit which was complementary. The spaghetti was also amazing. I was served with a brown butter sage sauce. They definitely did not cheap out on the butter, there was probably half a stick melted, but I would rather too much than not enough. It had a good amount of arugula throughout for some additional freshness, bread crumbs for texture and of course crab and Parmesan!! Although I think they added some lemon/citrus in the butter sauce I would have liked an extra wedge or something personally to cut through the richness a bit more. For ciders, I made my own taster flight. I am not that familiar with ciders but I gave my flavor profile when drinking wine. The server recommended a few and I loved them all. I specifically loved the Blackberry Ginger cider. It didn't have that overwhelming ginger flavor that can sometimes burn your throat and give instant heartburn, but just enough flavor that it cut through the sweetness of the blackberry. I was very sad that they didn't sell their ciders in cans !! But I left with a growler anyways :) In the future it would be cool to have different ciders paired with all of the dishes! That would definitely intrigue me. Highly recommend stopping by for a visit and I will definitely be coming back! read more
