A friend told us about Iron Rooster. We had never been there before but were looking for some special items to put together to give our lovely neighbors. Frederick was very attentive and helpful and introduced us to his wife, Miran. The shop itself is like stepping right from Fairhaven into an old European shop. Miran made some suggestions and we left it in her hands. She is extremely creative and we could not be more pleased with the result! Everything was ready as promised and well beyond our already high expectations! Iron Rooster is a fantastic new addition to Fairhaven!! read more

This bakery is fine for Bellingham. The pastries were fine. Coffee was fine. But the way you pay is not fine. They use the standard Square payment method where you expect to sign on an iPad screen. However, they have removed interaction with the iPad screen and do not allow you to sign because of their COVID precautions. So here's the rub - customers can't choose to leave a tip if they're not signing the screen. So you will be asked...out loud...in front of everyone else in line - "Great, that'll be $18.39. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE A TIP?!" I always tip, but asking customers for a tip out loud in front of everyone is very uncouth. It would be far more respectable to simply wipe the iPad screen after each and/or provide hand sanitizer, which would allow customers to leave tips in privacy. Or, just raise their prices and don't ask for tips. If you can afford $5 for a croissant, you can probably afford a slight markup....I wish them well. read more

LEGIT pastries and coffee just like the reviews below have stated, and probably thee best danishes, croissants, fruit tarts and brownies I've had in Bellingham thus far. In addition, I placed an order a few days via email, and I asked to pick it up outside of their normal business hours, in which they easily accommodated my request and changes to my original order. Overall a pleasant experience and satisfied new customer. I highly recommend trying ALL of their pastries as I plan to do the same. read more

The cookies & pastries are extremely beautiful!! Servers are nice; sometimes the boss is cranky.

The lady behind the counter gets 5 stars for great recommendations and being so cheerful! The olive oil cake and macaron get 5 stars because they were truly delicious. The owner sitting outside gets 0 stars because he was extremly grumpy and snarky as we tried to talk to him while eating our treats from his bakery. read more

So the space itself is wonderful. No seating but well layed out. It reminded me visually of a bakery I used to frequent in NYC. I have now been there twice, and I am not sure I will back again. The cakes do look intriguing and so do the scones, but the chocolate croissant I tried was very disappointing. The chocolate itself was fine, but the layers and the slight crunch that I expect from a good croissant were nowhere to be found. My one and a half year old was rather pleased with it though. The second time I went I just ordered a cappuccino. I've had Camber's beans before and I am not the biggest fan, so I wasn't expecting to be overly impressed, I was expecting to drink it all. The cappuccino was so poorly prepared I cannot really called it a cappuccino. The shot itself tasted ok, but frankly the way the milk integrated was awful. Maybe the shot was too watery, because it tasted like an Americano with a little bit of steamed milk on top (really it was that gross). But everyone who works there is nice and the space is good. I could have just hit the wrong barista, but I will not order coffee there again. read more

Disappointed as their words do not match what you actually get. Croissants are just ok, not flakey; Danish a bit soft and a little gummy inside. Cakes not bad but usually a few days old; sliced and exposed to air too long; Overall items are overpriced for the quality. Only saving grace is that this bakery is slightly better than other places in Bellingham. read more

If you like croissants, you absolutely have to go here. Without a doubt some of the best pastries I've ever eaten. My favorite so far is the almond croissant. It's flawless! In my opinion, it rivals the croissants from my favorite bakeries in Seattle and even the ones I ate in Paris. If you haven't already, you must check this place out! read more

I have no picture, but that's because someone graciously brought our office a box of treats and they lasted all of 5 minutes. The knives and hands dove in and everything was destroyed. The almond croissant was heaven, so flaky and buttery, and a proportionate amount of almond filling, even on top! So nice to see one filled appropriately, you really got the almond flavor. Also tied the coffee cake, so moist and full of cinnamon. We ate them up way too fast, can't wait to pick up some treats for my family some time. read more

Coffee drinks were excellent. Baked goods are out of this world. Mom's little hen was amazing. read more

Iron Rooster Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

As an out of towner, I was overjoyed to find a bakery to make a pie for my husband's 40th birthday. I emailed the owner days in advance, called him, and secured the order with my credit card. The day of my husband's 40th birthday I arrive to the bakery after a very stressful drive to the location. When I explained that I was there to pick up the pie I had ordered, the owner stared blankly at me and responded that he didn't know the order was finalized. I reminded him that I gave him my credit card over the phone and that he said it would be ready by 10 am Friday and that I could pick it up any time that day (it was already 2PM.) The owner stared blankly at me and stated that he remembered that phone call now, but did not have a pie for my husband's birthday. I was in disbelief. He did not offer to make it right. He did not offer me anything else from the bakery. As I stood there totally overwhelmed, he dismissed me and told me that he didn't know what I wanted him to do. He didn't have a pie for me. I asked him if he could recommend a place where I could get a pie and he was zero help. If you need a pie for someone special, order it from a bakery that actually wants to make it for you. read more

Two words. Almost croissant. Heavenly. Yes, expensive. But I will happily pay more than I pay for a flavorless dried out pastry from anywhere else. Such a special treat while visiting friends in Fairhaven. read more

Excellent bakery! We have sampled a little of everything and are thrilled to find an outstanding croissant in Bellingham.

Pastries are so good and the espresso is as well! Only thing is they are pretty pricey but it is quality food and drinks.

By far, the best chocolate croissant in Bellingham AND the best iced coffee I've had. While there's no indoor seating, there's a lovely communal area in front of the shop that made for perfect seating in this weather! The decor/atmosphere is divine, as well. I will definitely be back to this delightful little bakery! read more

Iron Rooster Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

My boyfriend bought me a cute birthday cake from here! It was yellow cake and vanilla frosting and I really enjoyed it! It was decorated so nicely. It was pre-prepared but they wrote on the cake last minute, so that was nice of them! I will definitely be visiting in the future and buying small pastries read more

This French bakery is another great spot that has opened in Bellingham since we left two years ago. So glad to have discovered it on our visit home for the summer. The croissants are quite good here as are the macarons, but for me the absolute highlight is the olive oil cake, which is out of this world. read more

Best cake ever! Plan ahead to get your choice. Had to "settle" for what they had. And we loved it.

OMG!!! All I can really say is YUM. Everything is simply heavenly . The olive oil cake is my go to hostess gift. Anything behind that counter is just spectacular!! We are lucky to have this in Fairhaven. I have to stop myself from going being I live across the street. The croissants the danishes are a work of art. read more

Loved this place when I lived in B'ham!! They have delicious desserts!! Their coffee is a top quality!! Beautiful atmosphere inside and outside!! read more

Tasty but overpriced - our $5.75 piece of pie was smaller than the iPhone on which I'm writing this review. With so many competing bakeries around, this is a miss. read more

First time here. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had the quiche which was fresh and delicious. Very few tables but I did find a spot to sit because most people seem to take away. So much variety with the pastries! I was disappointed with the amount of disposables used - the utensils, plates, glasses for customers were all plastic / paper. Wish they would use reusable utensils and plates. Coffee was the only thing served in a reusable mug. Hope they change this in future. Otherwise 5stars! read more

What a gem! I was thrilled to stumble upon this cafe/bakery. I have been there a few times since they opened and I am never disappointed! Definitely worth checking out if you're in Fairhaven or craving a coffee and yummy dessert. It's worth the drive! The decor is very European and they have a cozy seating area. ( that I think they just added ) Can't wait to go back. read more

The best almond croissants in town, perfect pastry and generous filling. Everything I've tried here -- hazelnut biscotti, pear tart, cookies -- has been truly top notch. The coffee and hot chocolate are also excellent. The space itself is very clean and appealing, if a bit cramped. Prices are on the high end, but you get what you pay for. read more

This place is the real deal. The baked goods and coffee is top notch. I've met the owner a hand full of times and he's real. The owner is hysterical. The interior is beautiful too. Well done! read more

Great delicious pastries and ambiance, would have been five stars EXCEPT for the plastic utensils and paper plates for eating in. Cmon guys, environmental responsibility isn't that hard read more

This bakery is by far one of the best in the west! I've lived in France and think the Iron Rooster pastries are as good as the ones I enjoyed in France. So delicious! Their set-up during Covid-19 is excellent; they've created a safe way for ordering and pick-up. Thank you for making such outstanding products. read more

Very cute place. My wife and daughter raved about their chocolate croissant and strawberry cheese danish respectively. Conveniently located parking wise on a Saturday morning. I look forward to getting coffee next time and drinking it on the Village Green. Beautiful looking store too. read more

The bakery only has 3 tables/limited chairs, and some awkward bench that was blocked. Very cute place and the selection looked nice but horrible set up. We had to leave because there was no place to sit and I wouldn't come back. Tip to the owners: invest in some more chairs if you want my business. Last time I checked you weren't a drive thru. read more

The pastry was good, but I've had better and there was no seating. Big turn off to not be able to sit and enjoy the experience. I thought about ordering a coffee but considering it would need to be to-go and the staff seemed unable to deal with anything but serving pastries (there was no one operating the espresso) I decided against it. Also the coffee prices were rather high and I didn't have confidence it would be worth it. Better off going to one of Bellingham numerous other options for coffee and a treat. read more

Cute litte bakery to stop in & grab a delicious pastry and coffee. They offer multiple different types of pastries from cakes to quiches to beautifully crafted danishes. We ordered a few berry danishes and they were very good tasty with a nice fallacy crust and ample filling. The only complaint is the coffee orders take far too long to fill. We sat in the establishment for about 10 minutes waiting for out lattes and there was only one other man in front of us. We had nearly finished our pastries by the time our coffee drinks were completed. But overall great baked goods. read more

There was hair in our pastry. Not a great experience. Unfortunatley we will not be returning here.

Fabulous. Impeccable Delicious! Has Bakery items you won't find anywhere else to die for. But since I woke up today I'm headed over there Again now. read more

Excellent pastries! I love a flaky, buttery, fresh croissant and have been unable to find one in Bellingham that met my expectations until the Iron Rooster opened. Now it's the only place I go for pastries. Visiting family enjoyed the almond croissants so much that I found myself on a flight to Denver with a box of almond croissants as my carry-on! read more

Holy moly...we live on 10th St in Fairhaven and have been so excited to finally try out this new bakery. We stopped in today around 11 am today, the bakery was adorable, not too crowded and was full of people enjoying their sweet treats and coffee. We immediately zoned in on the chocolate almond croissants. Pretty sure we both died and went to Heaven. For a croissant, this was simply amazing. It had a crunchy sugary texture to the entire pastry, and was sliced horizontally so it could be smeared with the almondy goodness. Their chocolate sticks were perfectly melted inside, and left you feeling like you had plenty in each bite. Hands down the best croissant experience I've ever had. We will definitely, and unfortunately for my waist line- be back. Thank you for such a tasty treat!! read more

Pastries are AMAZING!! I've tried almost the entire selection and haven't had one that disappointed. Staff is incredibly nice and the coffee is great as well.. Oat Milk Latte is my fav.. read more

Quaint, great coffee, and awesome baked goods. Common stop for us prior to walking the Fairhaven boardwalk. Always enjoy seeing these small boutique cafes opening up read more

This beautiful small cafe is everything! They have good coffee and really yummy almond croissants It's always packed with people so it's hard to find a table and it's not the best place with kids do to limited space they have. read more

Very small selection, overpriced for mediocre baked goods.

Great service great pastries and more. Wish you were open 24/7. My wife has made several trips since discovering you from Woodinville over he past few months. If you ever tire of the slow pace of Bellingham we could certainly use an outstanding bakery here. Thank you for making our day on many occasions. read more
