    Getting some work done by the window.
    Jennifer J.

    As my Local Coffee Shop Quest continues I find the list narrowing (hey, even Bellingham has to run out of java joints eventually), and yesterday realized I hadn't hit Lettered Streets yet. So I loaded up the laptop and headed on down. This is a cute little place in a super-historic old building. I ordered my usual...a regular coffee in a "here" mug. They have a few choices on size, which is a nice option. You can also choose from their regular or dark roasts. I chose regular, added the requisite cream and sugar, and grabbed a toasted sesame bagel which they delivered to me a few minutes later after I'd parked myself next to the last remaining seat in the Laptop Room. Well, I don't think it's really called that, but it should be! You see, Lettered Streets is split into two spaces - the main entry where you order up your coffee, and a side room which is full (like literally FULL) of folks hunkered over their laptops like something out of my old Suzzallo Library days! It was like I'd wandered into a well-kept secret society of Other People Who Can't Get Work Done At Home. I worried the wi-fi would be slow due to the secret society sucking it dry, but it worked fast and flawlessly during my entire stay. The coffee was delish and they also had some yummy lunch options up on the board. Would have loved a breakfast sandwich but the bagel held me over until my work was done. I'm definitely adding LSCH to The List (what, you haven't seen the list?). https://www.yelp.com/list/my-quest-for-good-coffee-and-or-strong-wi-fi-in-bellingham-bellingham Which means I'll be back - the free street parking is definitely a bonus, and the bathroom is in an interesting spot (you have to go outside first, like on Little House on the Prairie, except with good plumbing), but that just adds to the charm of this place.

    A tasty mocha with latte art!

    I used to frequent this shop when I was going to school and living in Bellingham. Every time I am in town I visit, I am a sucker for their toddy in the summer and mocha variations in the winter. It is a small, quaint, and iconic place. I am most impressed with the knowledge of their staff on all things coffee and the pleasant conversation they always engage with me in. Certain times of day or days of the week are busier than others, something to be aware of with any coffee shop. It's a great place to relax, meet friends, and their food is quite good too!

    My first ever non-franchise coffee joint, and homey, cozey, comffy indeed. Basically inside a heritage-like setting, I just yelped for best milkshakes and voila these guys showed up. While not the best chocolate milkshake, she assured it was real chocolate ice cream, and not pumped with chocolate sauce, yay. in fact, Maybe a tad too much milk, not malty enough, still had a bit of chopped ice bits (a good thing) just not sweet enough. Overall a great hangout compared to a Starbucks as there is a separate room beside. Window seating. Parking is tough in this residential hood, they have 2 spots.

    8oz latte

    Great service on a sleepy Saturday morning. Barista was friendly and made us a couple of delicious drinks - twice - as we had seconds before we left it was that tasty! The atmosphere in the old building is cozy and warm. I liked everything about this place and would recommend popping out of downtown to the Lettered Streets to give it a try. I ordered an 8 oz latte and my sweetie ordered a 16 oz triple mocha. Both perfect!

Prices may seem high one month then you come in again and they don't seem so bad. They are not trying to gouge anyone, just run a business and that includes all the taxes, permits, licenses, insurance and properly paying their employees. They really do have a bend over backwards attitude towards just plain being kind, I've seen folks get rude and mean towards the employees and it's just wrong. Stop that be an adult. Order is messed up, they make it right I've seen and experienced that 100%. Buy a dozen bagels get a card punch. No, REALLY, get a punch card. Now that is said. I am a New Yorker. Don't try and tell me how my bagel is supposed to be. I know. There is a certain pull, and chew that is part of the experience while you savor the texture and seasoning involved. There should be a certain a la dente exterior texture from being boiled. THIS IS IT. There is no other. Pumpernickel bagels and an experience in themselves. I lean more towards the savory side with my bagels because a lot of time at home I make a lox sandwich. I can vouch for the lox spread, jalapeno spread and the highly under-rated cinnamon raisin walnut. The latter is definitely a treat and the former can apply to most bagels and bialys in a highly complementary fashion. The garlic bagel is made to only be toasted with butter, but sometimes I make a breakfast sandwich with them. I only like to go to establishments that have better food or convenience than what I can do at home. I still make my own bagels, because I can. If I could go to ONE place the rest of my life, this would be it. Bravo Bagelry for keeping up your time-honored traditions and being a cornerstone of what I know as Bellingham.

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

I've had lattes that tasted like lukewarm bean water and lattes that tasted like they were brewed by a robot with a grudge. But the latte I had at **Woods Coffee**? Pure, caffeinated magic. I'm pretty sure they didn't just steam milk; they whispered sweet nothings to it until it turned into silk. The ambience both upstairs and downstairs, in addition to having a beautiful view of the bay gives a vibe that is as warm as the coffee and tea and almost as warm as the hearts of the staff In fact it may even pale in comparison to the warmth of the crew: **Nate, Madeline, and Jesse.** These three aren't just baristas; they are basically the Avengers of hospitality. They are so friendly and kind that I'm convinced they might actually be humanitarian saints working undercover in the coffee industry. **Full Disclosure:** During my visit, I encountered a brief personal complication regarding my payment. Usually, this results in a walk of shame out the door. But Nate, Madeline, and Jesse: Rather than treating me like a transaction, handled the situation with an incredible level of empathy, kindness, and professionalism. Their ability to prioritize the customer experience has made me a huge fan of the Woods Coffee brand as such humanitarian grace is rare in the service industry today. They didn't just provide a caffeine fix. They just didn't provide the best Latte I have ever had. More than all that, they built genuine brand loyalty..
