I love I Wana Moka!! This has been my favorite coffee shop for the past 5 years. The food and drinks are always amazingly delicious and the workers give great recommendations of new ones to try. The vibe is very nice and relaxed with black and blue details on the menu board that makes it very easy to read. Overall my top recommendation for where to get a coffee, milkshake, smoothie, or lotus. read more

Have been to this spot a several times while staying in the area, and noticed that there aren't many photos posted already, so I wanted to add a few! The baristas are super friendly, warm and welcoming. Coffee is GREAT but iced comes with a lot of ice, so I'd recommend ordering light ice unless it's the summer or you're a slow sipper. The scones (orange cranberry & marionberry especially) are delicious- and they will warm it up for you so it feels like it just came out of the oven. Bagels and sandwiches are good, but I'd recommend the rosemary bagel in particular! All around, would recommend this place for a convenient, quick breakfast option, or an afternoon pick me up, as they're open a bit later than your average coffee spot And as always, don't forget to tip your barista! read more

Workers are sweet, bagel was good, wait wasn't too long - no notes, I usually stop by here if I need a quick snack

Don't try to get a coffee any less than 20 minutes before close. My husband and I came up to order drinks on a road trip and the barista refused to make them because she had already cleaned the espresso machine....starbucks is across the street, thankfully, they were open and got my order and a nice tip! read more

In my quest to do business locally, we stopped at I Wana Moka for some much needed caffeine on Saturday morning. We ordered an Iced Peppermint Latte, and wow did we ever get ice, and a little bit of coffee too. We basically payed over $7 for a cup of ice. This is why I almost always make my coffee at home. The flavor of the coffee was great, a little too sweet, but what little we had before we ran out of coffee was good. I might return to try again, and order light ice next time, in the meantime I hope they can improve and train the baristas to cut back on the ice, I could have just went to the grocery store and bought a bag of crushed ice for much less than $7 if I was just looking for ice. My caffeine craving was not at all satisfied, and I had to make coffee at home soon after. read more

I Wana Moka - Didn't take long to drink what little bit of coffee they gave me, they I got to enjoy my $7 cup of ice. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I enjoyed a peppermint white chocolate latte on a quiet Saturday morning. While they do not list all their syrups on their menu, the lady was patient in explaining the different flavors they had, and there were a bunch of seasonal flavors as well (peppermint, white chocolate, maple, gingerbread, etc). The turnaround was quick, and the coffee was yummy without the syrups being overpowering. I also liked how this place was conveniently located by the freeway. Overall, would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick pick-me-up when on the go in or around in Fairhaven. read more

The blueberry scones are excellent, too bad the servers like to chit chat for several minutes before the person being served leaves. It's ridiculous to sit in line while the servers gossip. The mochas leave an after taste kinda like a burned butterscotch. The only reason I go there is for the blueberry scone. With the extended wait times because of gossip, the blueberry scone may not be enough to keep me coming back! read more

If you want a good coffee with a friendly smile- this is the place to go! I work down the road so I have been here a (ahem) time or two... and I have never had a bad thing to say. They use Fidaglo Island coffee so they are local as it comes, and they made a dang good cup 'a joe. The gals who work here are happy, bright and do their best to remember the regulars which is one of my favorite things in a coffee place. Check out their fun seasonal drinks and even their health shots you can put into your drink (wheatgrass immuno boost in the AM, anyone?). A little known thing about this place is that if you bring in your own bucket and label it with your name and #, they will fill it with used coffee grounds for your compost free of charge. read more

Great prices, wonderful food & drinks! Lots of syrup options for your drinks, amazing bagel options & gourmet cream cheese. My favorite is a rosemary salt bagel with the dill cream cheese! Great service, friendly & I usually get through quickly even when they are busy. read more

I don't usually eat breakfast, but decided to have a breakfast burrito this morning. Yelp provided the perfect answer, of course! Saw the reviews and it was close. Asked the person at the window what kind of breakfast burrito they have, and informed me ham or sausage. I choose ham. The attendant asked if I'd like salsa with that, and I replied, please yes. After a few minutes, the arm came out of the window with a small/medium foil-wrapped burrito. And I drove away. When I got home, I noticed they didn't include the salsa as requested. Grabbed some taco sauce from the fridge and tried it. I could taste that it was okay, kind of bland, and was not freshly cooked. Just assembled. I gave the lower rating because the asked if I wanted salsa and left it out. and they could try to put any kind of seasoning or even some green onions/chives into the burrito. I had hoped for better service and flavor. read more

I used to like this place. but last time I went there, I was charged way more (46% more) for my coffee than the posted price. The barista just said " oh, we have not updated our sign yet". This is Illegal. I will never go back. She didn't even apologize or offer to charge me the posted price. read more

To start the line took 25 minutes and it wasn't even busy. I was very disappointed with my coffee once I finally received it, I ordered a americano with chocolate and extra ice and the shots were burnt and she forgot to put chocolate in it. Our barista also didn't know which coffee was which once they handed them to us. Quite dissatisfied. read more

I got an iced caramel sauce latte with soy milk (got a sweet tooth) and my god, it's the best one I've had in a loooong time. Extremeely smooth espresso, delicious caramel, perfect amount of soy milk. Super friendly barista as well. Definitely will be visiting here more often. Best coffee I've had in a long time. Wow. I'm super picky and particular so that's saying a lot ;) read more

My friend picked up a coffee from here this morning....this is her go to spot for a coffee and bagel in the morning, especially since they serve Bagelry bagels. I asked for a iced, decaf latte with one pump chocolate. This is my usual order around town, and without a doubt, this is the best version I've had. The balance of sweetness to coffee and milk was perfect, others I feel like it's too watery almost, not sweet enough, too sweet. Really love the coffee they use here, and overall the drink was just deliciously balanced. Will definitely be coming here now and supporting this cute little local spot. read more

Our most convenient spot to stop for coffee to-go. Friendly staff and less expensive than local competition. Nice selection of baked goodies. read more

I love their coffee drinks, excellent service and good food versus every other coffee drive-thru. Bagelry bagels too!

We stopped at this cute shop on our way through town and Lily was the sweetest, most kind barista I've ever met! Our coffees were delish but her service was the star of the show. read more

This place never ever disappoints. Literally the best coffee in whatcom county and it is consistent! Every single time I am in the area I stop! Thank you for making AMAZING coffee!! read more

I Wana Moka - a hand holding a cup of iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Great service with a smile every time!! Reasonable wait times and prices, and my drink is perfect every time!

My number one favorite coffee & quick breakfast place. Went here with my sister, I got the everything bagel and a caramel latte, while my sister got some vegan drink and we both couldn't stop talking about how good it was. She was excited because they have more vegan milk options than she's used to, && both my bagel and latte were so freaking good. We also talked to the kindest two baristas that were working there, very genuinely friendly and patient. prices are great, people are great, food is great. read more

I went here in the last half hour before closing with a craving for a Tigers Blood snow cone, hoping to recreate the flavor as an Italian soda, which I did not remember the flavors its made of, and hoped they might have it on their list already. They didn't, but the barista (Skylar for any supervisors reading: she was great!) looked it up for me and was so kind and helpful and very thoughtful to my goal! I left a smiling, happy customer with a delicious drink! read more

We had to repeat the drink order 3 times because the barista was trying to talk over another employee and the music they had playing . Also the quality and price is never the same . Go to the one in Bellingham instead you'll be glad you did . read more

Their prices are excellent, the baristas are quick, and most of all- they're always in good spirits. Even when they're slammed, they're never rude or unfriendly. read more

Super convenient drive-thru coffee and treats with friendly (and patient!) service. Coffee and lattes here do not disappoint. Also appreciate the selections of "milk" here, including the almond milk that my friends found quite flavorful. Definitely recommend trying the scones! They have a rotating seasonal flavor, but the blueberry is always good. I really enjoyed the toasted bagel with feta and chive cream cheese, with a rich, almost tart taste. Great neighborhood spot to start your day or grab an afternoon pick-me-up. read more

Nice location to I-5 and Fairhaven access and friendly service. The drive-thru is easy to navigate. They serve Fidalgo Bay espresso (YUM YUM), an assortment of mixed drinks, and I'd say a more decent than average array of naughty things to appease the appetite until you can grab yourself a sensible organic meal. Extra points and big thanks for being generous with the cream cheese on my bagel (dry bagels suck). read more

I've been coming to IWM for years and they are my favorite drive-up coffee place in town. The service is friendly, drinks are good (and hot), and if you're hungry for breakfast you can't beat their delicious breakfast burrito. One burrito feeds both the hubby and I well! read more

So, this could have been a fluke, so I'll try not to be too harsh... but, I just went here for the first time and something insane happened. I ordered a 12 oz iced americano, with a "tiny bit of milk". I'm not exaggerating when I say it didn't even look or taste like coffee because it had DO much milk in it. I was in a bit of a hurry so I didnt have them remake it, but, I ended up dumping half of it out, at work, and filling it with drip coffee. It is insane how much milk they put in it; even after doing that, it was so diluted with milk. Luckily it was cheap and I'm not terribly upset about it, it just bothers me when baristas essentially ignore your order. read more

Friendly staff and best breakfast burritos in town! Usually a line so plan early to pick up a breakie burrito and coffee or flavored drinks!

On a whim I happened to stop in the get a smoothie around 5pm on a Thursday. The girl working (I would give her a shout if I had thought to get her name) was super helpful, made great suggestions and I walked away with 20oz of yummy healthiness for dinner. I'll be back for sure. read more

Chai tea: water with a hint of chai. Caramel latte: black coffee Not worth the trip for coffee at least . read more

Nice setting for a drive-thur. Picnic tables in the grass. Breve was good too. Think they specialize in the sweeter drinks though I didn't have one. read more

Sweetest girls there. Mocha was like warm. I would still recommend the place, super convenient going out to seattle, Arco's the cheapest gas around, I mean, what else could you ask for? Besides a hot mocha... read more

I like this place.. I'm starting to order ahead just by telling the girls where I'm at on the I-5 corridor. They know when to have my breakfast burrito HOT (and it's hot not lukewarm) for me. Delicious. :) Everyone is always pleasant and so far only one time did someone have extra convo with the person in front of me while I sat and waited (which is huge to me to get and go). read more

I didn't want to give up on them so I tried it out one more time and the woman working who seemed like a manager solved my issues! She assured me that it wouldn't happen anymore and was a mistake so I'll definitely be going back. I'm glad they read their reviews and try to improve! read more

Great coffee and tasty quick breakfast eats. I used to be addicted to the Kona Cooler and bagel with feta cream cheese....mmmmm.

This is my favorite coffee stand ever! They serve Fidalgo Bay - yummy!! They have great drinks, good pastries, fun decor, and the girls are the best, so friendly. There is also one in down-town B-ham on Holly - just as good! A friend of mine worked there and she loved it. Their blended drinks are so good!! read more

I love this place! The coffee is great, and unlike much of its competition, the drinks are pretty consistent no matter which barista you get. I like both locations and have always found the baristas friendly. I would give it five stars, but the food isn't that great. The breakfast burrito I ordered had so much cream cheese, I couldn't taste anything else and didn't finish it. But I go for the coffee so I still like it! read more

My coffee was great, however, I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was so salty I could not finish it. A waste of $4.

All the girls here are very friendly and give exceptional service everyday! They have gotten to know me over the weeks and most of the time they have my 'usual' (favorite) drink ready as I pull up to the window. I won't go to any other coffee stand in town! Great coffee and they get their bagels from The Bagelry here in Bellingham. Support local and enjoy great coffee, food and service!! read more

Super convenient location and good coffee. I *think* it's actually the only place downtown with a drive thru (at least near my house, I guess I can't be totally sure). Fidalgo Bay coffee is awesome, the girls that work there are very friendly. The only reason I didn't give five stars is they can be too friendly, if that's possible. I say that because they will sometimes chat up a customer to the point that they are sitting there talking after they've given them their coffee and I end up waiting in line for an extra five minutes (ok, maybe 2 or 3 minutes, but that still feels like forever). Their food service is also pretty slow, so if I get stuck behind someone who ordered food it also takes a long time. (They make the food fresh though, so it's not that big of a complaint.) In the end, I go there several days a week. read more
