    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.

    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.

    Beautiful space with good coffee. Saw people working or studying from the coffee shop too

    Inside. Clean and communal. Locals working at many tables.

    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.

    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.

    Coffee was so smooth and delicious. I got the house made hazelnut sauce latte with oat milk. It was so smooth and tasted excellent. The wait for quite long for not being busy but I will come back. My friend also got the sausage breakfast sandwich with biscuit and she enjoyed it.

    (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

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

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

    Is it a good place to take your laptop and study?

    I agree that it might depend on how busy they are. My friend and I hung out on the patio, on a Sunday at lunch, for over 3 hours. The waiter kept telling us we were completely fine to stay, because we asked if he needed the table! So if you're… Read more
