They know their coffee. A must stop for any coffee snob passing through Bellingham. Suggest also grabbing a few bags for home! read more

It was my first time in Bellingham, WA and Camber was recommended by local friends and online foodies. It was a really clean (outside and in) + decorated cafe and easy to find (right on a street corner). They had a selection of gluten free items to eat, including gluten free focaccia which worked out great since my partner is GF. We ordered a variety of food and coffee (latte and gesha pour over) and even bought a bag of gesha beans to make coffee at home because we thought it was so good. Even though it was a Saturday morning (it was super packed) we still found a table to sit at and were able to enjoy everything. We came back a couple of days later, but we missed the food (the kitchen closes at a specific time) so we ended up getting coffee to go. I'd put this place on my list of favorite coffee shops to eat at in PNW! read more

Every time we visit Bellingham we find ourselves at Camber Coffee. They always have a good quality coffee offering while having something a little more unique and creative. We don't really get much to eat here because we are usually saving space for all of the great restaurants all over town. The space is pretty good for a quick meet up with a friend or two just to catch up. It's not too loud and not too many people seem to camp out there which is one of my pet peeves about good coffee shops. And just about every other time we walk out with a unique bag of coffee we have never tried before. We will be back. As long as our daughter lives in Bellingham, we WILL be back. read more

Camber Coffee - Rose garden. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

We have been on a cold brew kick recently and this hit the spot. Not only do they have a good cold brew base but they have 3 or 4 variations with different flavored cold foam on top. We went with the vanilla cold foam but there was also a pumpkin cold foam that we will probably try for next time. With this I actually think it would be a good idea to do a cold brew flight so hopefully they give that a shot some time. The staff was super friendly and pretty quick for how long the line got. They were quick with recommendations too. The atmosphere was great with lots of natural lighting near the front with a myriad of seating options that work well for any size group. Overall if we end up living in Bellingham I could see this being our go to coffee place. read more

Very modern and sleek space with an ample amount of seating. My friend got an Americano and I ordered a 16oz iced matcha. There was a big line out the door around 10:20. Their pastries look delicious, especially the massive salted biscuit. I would come back for a pastry for sure, the matcha however, was a bit of a miss for me. While waiting for my drink I noticed the pale green shade of matcha another person had ordered and immediately regretted my choice to order matcha. If you're a real matcha lover you know that this is not the color you want to see when paying $8. Especially in Bellingham. Matcha is supposed to be a vibrant green color. I did not order sweetener or plant milk, and it still came out to $8.15. Since they sell a nice quality matcha from Portland on their shelf, I assumed they would know what they were doing. My drink only tasted like whole milk, which was very disappointing. read more

Camber Coffee - Matcha latte and americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Fucking Incredible specialty drink - Japanese Oak with their base hojicha latte and their special woodsy smoke syrup...whoever came up with this, you're a genius. You deserve a lifetime of kind smiles from strangers and tail wags from dogs. Took a little long to get our drink, but it was busy inside. A tad noisy inside if you're going to read / work, more for socializing, but definitely worth the wait. read more

Camber Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

A-OK. Not underwhelming. Not overwhelming. Just..... It's good. Locals seem to like it. Definitely lots of people in here on a weekend morning. PARKING Easy parking and walking from anywhere. SERVICE Friendly/Fast/Curt. It's a busy place. People want their coffee. Let's go. Next. Next. Next. Long lines will move forward quickly. LOCATION This is a really nice, clean location with plenty of 4-top tables for larger groups, a bar along the front window, and large communal table for sharing or a giant party. A few tables on the sidewalk right out front. (Edit: Do they roast here? Today didn't smell like a coffee roaster - just ground coffee shop) Average "quick coffee" chain style. FOOD (Breakfast) Eh. Average. Fair. The granola and fruit is pretty, but not much flavor or substance. Expensive for a small bowl of meh. The fruit was quite past its prime, but maybe it's the time of year - not great produce options? Good yogurt tho? Fancy foam art on the coffee? Check. Is there turmeric usually on the coffee here? I guess it's anti-inflammatory: bonus? I like turmeric, but usually not on coffee (maybe it's a Bellingham thing??). I'd prefer cardamom. Was hoping for more from the coffee. Definitely strange start to the morning. PRICE About average. Stars - 3. [shrug] it's good? It's good. read more

We were lucky enough to have had a recent overnight stay in Bellingham and we found this little coffee and breakfast place by accident. It looked elegant from the outside and the line forming was the tip off. Their house coffee was excellent and we both got giant homemade buttermilk biscuits with fresh berry jam. It really was the thing. read more

Delicious! I absolutely loved the cold brew and they even have vegan cold foams and creative seasonable options. The prices are high, but we were expecting that and felt the service and quality were great as well. We found seating quickly and everything was quite clean. Great location, right near the heart of town. They have cups to drink your coffee in the cafe as well, and have glass cups for water which we appreciated to avoid waste. The line can be long in the morning, but it moves fast. They also have Wi-Fi and allow laptops. I will definitely be back next time I am in Bellingham. read more

(https://cambercoffee.com/) How I heard of this place: A walk through downtown, a recommendation from my sisters, and the pictures on their website... Type of cuisine: "Opened in July of 2017, Camber's flagship location can be found in downtown Bellingham, WA. Our team consists of supremely talented individuals who are committed to our guest's experience. We offer seasonal beverage and food menus crafted to showcase each thoughtfully-chosen ingredient. We're in pursuit of unrelenting quality, consistency, and joy." Ambiance: Warm, welcoming, sleek and cozy, this long (not wide) cafe and it's covered outdoor parking spot patio is ripe for a restful visit and consumption of delicious food and beverage. The lengthy bar, the top of which is the cashier, ending with the kitchen at the far back of the establishment is perfect for conversations with baristas as you await your beverages. Bar-height tables and chairs at the front are lit by the natural stream entering through the windows; the booth seating at the back of the dining area is more dimlit and cozy, slightly offering privacy for more intimate get-togethers. The feeling of community, friendship abounds. What I ordered: We enjoy seasonal specials upon most visits to Bellingham. Choosing a favorite among our plentiful orders is a challenge. Breakfast sandwiches became a quick favorite with the huge housemade biscuits and chicken sausage (the vegetarian just as good!). We loved the housemade granola and thoughtful, plentiful toppings over a house-recipe coconut yogurt. On each visit, we select at least two of their pastries, as well. From shortbread to cake, from scones to cookies, no crumb has been left behind. The flavor combinations are novel and purposeful in their intrigue and taste. Nothing will disappoint; you'll win with every selection, and want more. What I loved: As you can see, everything! We especially enjoy the seasonal beverage optioins - from espresso to matcha, from housemade flavors in steamed milk to robust teas. On a Passing Cloud, a lovely beverage has come to be one I crave and look forward to each time...though often I'm swayed by the new, seasonal offerings. Why I loved it: The baristas are kind and warm, friendly and remember us - even when it's been months since previous visits. The kitchen staff are amazingly talented and it's obvious that they love what they do. They truly have honed their craft and we are the happy recipients. Cost: High read more

Camber Coffee - Chai spice loaf with citrus buttercream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Eh. Not sure here. The coffee I've had from here is good, but not outstanding. Not sure how they won awards for it. Staff is not exactly friendly. Speak with the baristas, and the front counter/cashier person is likely to be all in your face telling you not to even try to speak to the baristas. Pastry selections are limited. Food hours and availability are super spotty to the point of not even being worth considering. A fail. We'll see how the bags of beans I purchased go over the next few weeks, but right now I am tending towards not returning. Which is too bad because the space itself is beautiful--maybe too beautiful in a way that's infused the staff with snobbery and overly hipster superiority complex attitudes. read more

My partner and I lived in the area for a summer and Camber quickly became one of our favorite spots in the area (and I miss those seasonal drinks!!). The staff was super friendly and always incredibly helpful. The food was delicious and we always had leftovers (making tomorrow's breakfast exciting, too)! But the coffee and tea drinks were some of the best I've had in the country. I still dream of their Fall drinks. read more

This place is really special. The atmosphere was top notch. My wife and I rolled in early in the morning and seriously had some of the best coffee.

If you're looking for a shop to enjoy incredible coffee, good conversations, and quality time, this is for you. read more

The coffee and atmosphere were great. If I lived nearby I would definitely come here often for a latte to hang out and work/read. I got an autumn latte which I think was an upgraded PSL to help people like me hide their basic-ness. Nonetheless, it was perfect for the fall weather. I also got a breakfast sandwich and it was pretty good but nothing to write home about. It was also a bit pricey for what it was, hence the 4 stars. read more

Camber is a lovely cafe in Bellingham. I've been crossing the border from Vancouver to visit some of the cafes here and it never disappoints! I love how beautifully decorated Camber is and there is a lot of seating available. The staff were very nice and also very nice to the dog another customer brought inside. No complaints about the coffee either. Especially with their gorgeous to go cups. It's such a unique and artsy design :) read more

I really enjoyed my cranberry crumble latte on a foggy Sunday morning. At $6.50 for 10oz, this drink came with a lovely blend of a delicious cranberry pastry and smooth undertones of coffee. In my years as a Yelper, I've never had anything like it, and I made sure to savor every drop. As someone that scouts out coffee shops with non-traditional drinks, there were also plenty of other seasonal drinks to pique my interest, such as the tea latte and mushroom (!) drink. The inside is roomy, clean, and peaceful, great for working or catching up with friends. They have some pastries and savory menu items as well. Overall, I would recommend this place to both coffee purists and eccentrics alike! read more

Love this place. They have unique, high quality coffee and tea drinks. I love their breakfast sandwiches. The standard on foccoccia is my favorite.

Camber Coffee - Pour-over and some beans to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I usually do one or two monthly trips up north to visit my favorite spots in Edison, Bow, and Bellingham. Call it therapy - wandering Whatcom County. Yesterday (8/29/21), I decided to forego on three usual stops and seek out Camber instead. I was able to find nearby street parking in a lively section of downtown, lots of pedestrians, sidewalk dining, and folks enjoying the late summer sunshine. Walked into Camber and immediately loved the interior, lots of bright natural light, fresh flowers in vases throughout, assorted seating arrangements, and cool merch to look at. But also duly noted on my first visit, friendly welcoming counter staff, spot on crafted iced mocha (started a stamp card too), and a delicious breakfast sandwich. That buttermilk biscuit was one of the best in recent memory! I enjoyed sitting at the counter facing the sidewalk, great for people watching. This area sure was hopping for Sunday midday. Also, I bought a 12 ounce bag of Camber's Ethiopia Gogogu, roasted on 8/16/21. As I write this Yelp post, I am enjoying the quality roast and the resulting flavorful cup of coffee this morning. Got to treat oneself right working remote. Life's too short to consume crappy cups of coffee. Glad I stopped in, definitely adding Camber on my northbound rotation! read more

Friendly staff, decent service, expensive but tasty food. Space can get a little crowded but such is the perils of being popular. The coffee itself is hit or miss, however, and I can't help but wonder if Camber and Makeworth couldn't somehow team up on that front. read more

I have not been to the physical coffee shop, so this review is for their beans only. I bought a bag of Big Joy espresso blend from a local coffee shop and was instantly hooked. I have tried a lot of beans and this one is still my favorite. Unfortunately the only way I am able to get my hands on it is if I drive 30 mins to the coffee shop in LA that sells it and wait in their usual 1 hour line. I would love to support and buy direct from your website, but there is no way I'm paying $8.50 for shipping. In order to hit the $40 free shipping limit, I would have to buy 3 bags, and it's just not possible for me to go through that many bags as a home barista before the beans lose it's freshness. Please consider either a) lowering the free shipping minimum on your website to $36 instead of $40, b) offer free shipping with any 2 bag minimum purchase or, c) offer free shipping for subscriptions. TLDR: Please make it more affordable for home baristas to purchase the Big Joy blend! read more

I think easily my favorite coffee shop in Washington so far. Immaculately cozy atmosphere to work or study in, incredibly friendly and helpful staff, fantastic innovative coffee and tea drinks as well as a fridge filled with all kinds of really cool goodies and products like their awesome homemade syrups (london fog for example) and the delicious low-cal soda alternatives poppi. There isn't a lot of real estate for the line here but that's how it goes in cute little towns like Bellingham. Haven't had to stand outside yet but I don't know if I come when it's the most crowded. Highly recommend this place to anyone in town as its truly one of my highlights whenever I visit. Thanks for being awesome Camber. read more

All show but rather average. The only reason to come here is if you actually drink your coffee straight and are good at picking out the different flavors. If you like specialty coffees, you are both wasting your money and time. The baristas are good at making milk foam leaves but not much else. Service is slow. The look is trying too hard to be minimalist. The bakery items are mostly a pass but I will say the chocolate espresso muffin is worth getting. They stop food orders at noon which is really weird. read more

Go. Here. Great neighborhood coffee spot with an amazing kitchen and friendly folks. Lives up to NYT reviews. Odd, for such a coffee Mecca, that they only offer whole milk and oat milk. Guess the rest of us are out of luck... read more

We got a cappuccino, biscoff latte, mocha, caprese sandwich, pesto egg and lox sandwich. Both the food and coffee were great!

I was so excited to try Camber and while I thought the drinks were great, the food left a lot to be desired. I got the hojicha latte and my husband got an Americano. Delicious drinks! Well balanced and lots of tea flavor in my latte. For food, I got the seasonal toast with beets, gorgonzola and balsamic and it was... Very tart! A lot more tart than I imagined and not my favorite. My husband got the breakfast sandwich and it was also just okay. He said the second/sandwich and pastry was too hard. We went on a Sunday around noon and parking was impossible to find FYI! read more

What a great cafe! My partner and I were visiting from Seattle and decided to try out these breakfast biscuit sandwiches, and they were delicious! He got the sausage one and I got the veggie one. The biscuits were so flaky and light and were huge! My partner actually said it was one of the best biscuits he's ever had. The sausage in his was so flavorful and had a great pepper taste. I loved the sun dried tomato pesto on my biscuit. We also got their carrot hot sauce which wasn't spicy but added a nice flavor to everything. read more
