I'm so grateful to them for all of their help in celebrating me and accommodating my friends. Will absolutely be dining here again, already can't wait to go back. Highly highly recommend.

Ingrate owner sent me a nasty lecturing email after I called out a waitress for not serving me pretzels after just playing with her phone for a 30 minute interval. Queen of ingrate sanctimony! (I support your employees more then you do, ingrate Kate, judging how much money you donated to your own employee vs how much I did. But if someone is going to watch TikTok for 30 minutes rather than serve me the overpriced $6 bowl of pretzels that cost $5 for an entire pack at Haggen that's a 2 minute walk away -- I have a right to say something!) It goes without saying that the owner sets the minimum tip as 25% on her POS system. What ingrate presumption! (.. and of course I exceeded that, every single time I went in, which also went unacknowledged and unthanked by the ingrate owner) Two diverse friends of mine reported this ingrate was patronizing down to them as well--we feel it's a hostile environment to males of all ethnicities. If you are male, don't support this ingrate establishment!

The line was long on a rainy Saturday morning, which can only mean one thing: good coffee was awaiting! I ordered a latte and savory scone to go, as there wasn't a chance in you-know-what of getting a seat. The latte was made super quickly, but the scone took forever - I was actually done with my latte before the scone arrived. Haha. Either way, they were both good.

Oh man was it amazing, got the cardamom coffee to go with a piece of Helva for my little and the Chocolate baklava for me and hubs to split! The server was so nice and made sure to inform me the right way to just sip the coffee as it's not like regular drinking coffee- he asked I preferred sweet coffee and I said yes so he added a little sugar and it was just beautiful! My little demolished the Helva and hubs and I enjoyed our chocolate baklava at the end of a very fun but busy day! The shop it's self is small but beautiful as were the other customers enjoying their coffee made room for my little at the counter to look at all the treats in the case! Can't wait to head back and try some of the other yummy treats they have to offer!

How I heard of this place: On a visit to Bellingham a couple of years ago, my sister and mother…read moretold us about this new Turkish cafe downtown with sweet reminiscences of our visits to Turkey. We simply had to give it a try. And continue coming back. Type of cuisine: Turkish fare - from simit and borek, to cardamom or pistachio infused Turkish coffee, apricot and apple teas, baklava and lokum. We have always loved the foods, mostly imported directly from Turkey. Ambiance: Sweet and cozy, the space is full of beautiful Turkish art/craft - from lighting to seating, from merchandise to the tasty treats served, we love our bay window benches and small, tiled tables that barely hold everything we order. The brother-owners are always wreathed in smiles and humble, grateful service. The music is soft, but always a surprise - sometimes Turkish, sometimes rock, sometimes jazzy, always fun and unobtrusive. We also love the huge barrel "tables" used as outdoor seating under a covered "patio". What I ordered: I was sad to hear that they no longer make/serve their refreshing and lovely apricot tea, so I chose a sweet cardamom coffee. My sister each chose a turkish coffee and pistachio coffee. A hot chocolate for my husband and two apple teas for the children. We ordered one of each selection of baklava available - pistachio, walnut, chocolate pistachio, halva and another walnut treat. Not to mention peach and blackberry lokum. We also ordered a potato & cheese sandwich; they ran out of the bread so substituted potato borek topped with cheese for our savory snack. What I loved: Always the service; quiet, humble, spot on. The coffee is truly magnificent and fully takes you back to Turkey. The baklava is sweet and soaked in honey, just like the cafes in Istanbul, and the beautiful lighting mesmerizes each of us every time. Why I loved it: It's always a little escape entering the doors of Ashuri, and like a mini vacation in a home away from home. Cost: Average

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

People would walk in and out to order their food or drink but other than that it was relatively quiet. Another thing not often seen at other places was the variety of seating, Maple bar has high chairs, big tables with benches, cozy chairs, and even small sectioned off areas to sit. Inside was colorful, bright, and warm. It definitely put me in a bright mood for the day! Great study spot! I would recommend!

It was like $8 for two slices of melon and a strawberry. Insane. I have no idea how they justify that and I was super bummed to see I had paid that much for like 20 cents worth of fruit. The staff is friendly, but almost frighteningly so. They all wear skirts down to the floor and no makeup. It feels like they are all in on some secret, but I can't quite figure it out.
