Wow luckily for me, the first place we went today didn't allow for our 4 year old guest (21+ only). So the six of us started walking back towards the car and came across Locus, this fun and funky little coffee / wine / beer "and some food" shop! First off, they're super clean. I was super impressed with Jessica and Kaycee (the owners). Jessica took our order with no note taking at all with all orders spot on!! All the food was FABULOUS, very tasty and visually appealing. The restaurant itself is clean (did I mention how clean it is?!?) and stylish. The food menu is plentiful and varied. My grown son commented that after having the ham wrap, (which was super tasty), he still had enough room for dessert!! I am so, so stuffed after a gluten free bacon breakfast sandwich and an apple shareable dessert. Everything was super yum! I highly recommend trying this spot our next time you're in Bellingham! Now on to the food! read more

It's been a few months now since I moved to town and this is my favorite spot in town! The staff is so incredible. They're welcoming, attentive and kind . The atmosphere is always nice with happy energetic music and beautiful art on the walls. It's unique in its own way, has wifi, and has lots of great seating inside and out! The drinks and food never disappoints. I'm always inclined to try new items because it's just that good. This is a great place to get work done, to catch up with friends or to just treat yourself to a little something. Do yourself a favor and check out this little gem. Today I tried their bioluminescence drink with watermelon, blue lotus and sparkles. What a treat. I ended up getting two and I can't wait for my next visit. read more

Stale food! The Banana bread has been sitting around for sometime. The cream cheese on the bagel tasted pungent and stale as well. Sorry we had to encounter this early am. Not edible. We ended up throwing the food read more

Locus is one of my favorite spots to stop at when I visit family in Bellingham. The coffee and breakfast burritos are fantastic. The street art style decor is really fun and the window seats are pleasantly quirky with their height off set from the chairs on the other side. The staff has always been super kind too. Overall, I really look forward to stopping by anytime I'm in town. read more

I have been coming to Locus since the pandemic and It's always my #1 spot with family and friends. Coffee is super great and food is amazing!! and the staff there is so kind!!

Yummy food, fun atmosphere, and WOMAN-owned local small business! This place has it all-great for a casual meet with a friend, easy lunch, or even a party! Food is top-notch and prices reasonable. Staff are eager to please and manager is full of fun! You will have a wonderful experience. read more

I was visiting Bellingham for a class, and my Airbnb suddenly lost power. Found this gem of a place when looking for a cafe with power outlets. The person who helped me was SO SWEET, and helped me pick out a beet salad and a drink that fit within my restrictions (no dairy, no caffeine) without making me feel weird at all. I spent a little over an hour here and felt very comfortable and welcomed. Strongly recommended, try the beet salad! read more

So glad we stopped in here and decided to stay! Owned by two very friendly and delightful women, this fun breakfast/lunch spot was both beautiful and delicious! Plus they serve wine, beer and cider which is always a plus :) They remain open during Covid-19 and I highly recommend trying them out. Every single item we ordered was a hit and we left full and happy! I can personally recommend the walking tacos, ham breakfast wrap and the apple + cream cheese shareable plate (can't remember what it's called on the menu). Five stars read more

This place is a Bellingham best! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. The owners of Locus are always so friendly, welcoming and helpful with the most creative menu of drinks. They serve the best coffee in town and make my favorite oat milk latte with their homemade espresso whip. The energy, caffeine and togo breakfast wraps make my day. I have to advise everyone to try their wine slushee with pop rocks and Italian sodas. They have the best beer on tap and a great selection of wine. Don't drink alcohol? Don't worry, just tell Kaycee and Jessica and they'll whip up a creative mocktail catered to your liking! You'd be missing out if you don't spend some time enjoying the graffiti art in this place along with some delicious drinks and foods. read more

My daughter and I enjoyed a fabulous lunch over WWU parent weekend. We were greeted right away and were lead to a cozy table in the corner. The menu had so many tasty sounding dishes and drinks in it that we had a hard time deciding what to order. I don't remember the exact names of everything we had, but everything was delicious! I enjoyed a decadent brie and bacon sandwich and my daughter loved her bacon wrap. My Blue Moon Latte was so very tasty and my daughter had the Lavender Matcha, which was equally as tasty. The service was great and everyone there was friendly. I will definitely be going back whenever I visit my daughter in Bellingham! read more

Nice person at counter - a big plus right off the bat. Their Cuban coffee was really yummy and their chorizo wrap very good. All in all, a great quick bite before hitting the road back to Seattle. read more

If you are in Bellingham, visiting Locus is a must! As we were approaching the shop we noticed the nice outdoor space that they have in front and to the side. It's covered so even on a rainy summer day they provide the perfect outdoor seating. The store was busy but the staff immediately greeted us as we walked in. The store's vibe is very nice. They have graffiti on the walls which makes for a very cool and artistic Spot. I ordered an iced white mocha and a sausage breakfast burrito with house sauce. The coffee was so tasty! It's clear that the baristas know how to make a good espresso shot and the coffee is good quality. The burrito was so tasty! It was perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with big chunks of sausage and plenty of eggs and cheese. The egg was fluffy and light. The house sauce was ranch based and really good. It paired well with the burrito. On my way out I saw a few other food dishes that looked really good too. The foodie in me can't wait to go back so I can try out more of their food and coffee. I highly recommend visiting Locus! read more

We stumbled upon this gem in downtown Bellingham in our search for what we call "fancy coffee." Note: we only go out for espresso about 3x/year, so it's a big treat...but we are naive about the current coffee nomenclature. Yolanda, our server at Locus, patiently and enthusiastically explained things to us, including "white coffee," which I tried in a sugar-free macchiato. I'm a dark roast lover, but the toasted nuttiness of the "white" coffee bean had me in a caffeinated state of bliss. My husband loves his coffee bevy too -- a spicy blend with maple and molasses. The decor is bright, funky and fun, and as previously mentioned, service was to notch (thanks Yolanda)! We now might have to do "fancy coffee" once a month (at least). read more

The food was amazing! The service was great & such nice people. They have some really good gluten free options.

We went her for breakfast and it was so good! I forgot to take pictures!! The avocado toast was super yummy. My husband and daughter both had a wrap. The veggie wrap was awesome and my husband had the wrap with chorizo and the house sauce, he loved it! The waitress was very welcoming and kind. We will definitely go back! read more

The atmosphere? Relaxing and serene; The menu? An epicurean delight! The staff? Elegant, charming, and sophisticated. In summery: FUHGETABOUTIT!

I came here on a Saturday morning with my husband to get some work done and this coffee shop is so cute! The vibe is super awesome and the decor is nice too. I ordered a cold brew with some vanilla and oat milk, and I got a bacon breakfast sandwich with pesto mayo. The reason why the photo only has half of the sandwich is because as I was eating it, I knew I couldn't leave without leaving a review about it. It was that dang good! Seriously best breakfast sandwich ever! read more

What a find! Cool vibes/ambiance with a great staff & a DJ to complete a great experience. A lot of food options, I had the bacon breakfast sandwich and wasn't disappointed. I also had the pleasure of meeting Kaycee (owner) and understood why I liked this place, she's dope. Some people just "get it!" Definitely a destination spot for me and my friends in downtown Bellingham. read more

Locus is an absolute FIND. The chorizo wrap was fire and the atmosphere was amazing. Went in while my car was getting worked on and walked out a devoted customer. If you are even walking down Holly you should consider this a pit stop. The owner is wonderful and told me they've incorporated a dj on Saturdays which I will DEFINITELY be checking out. Aside from that I was a happy man with a side pub pretzel and apple pie mimosa. Give. This. Spot. A TRY. You won't be mad you did. read more

Drip coffee is not good. If you like Starbucks coffee, you won't like this. Ambiance is great. Staff friendly.

Every time I have gotten anything from Locus I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality. I originally stopped in when they were partnering with Greektown and making a milkshake with. Baklava blended into it (which was absolutely divine and I wish they would do it again.) The next time we stopped because we had an appointment at the dog cafe that we were early for so we popped in for cookies and some drinks. I chose snickerdoodle and my child chose chocolate chip. It was easily one of the best snickerdoodles I have ever had. Perfectly soft with lightly crisp edges. The strawberry milkshake was quickly devoured by my child but what I did manage to try was also delicious. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the atmosphere of the place is cozy yet airy. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you have a chance. read more

Locus does all the little things right. Arriving at this authentic, hole in the wall coffee shop was confusing at first as we didn't know where to order or sit. However, a friendly server spotted us and informed us that we can choose wherever to sit and was over at our table right away to collect drink orders. To drink, I ordered the 12oz freshly brewed coffee which was served in an insulated cup which kept the outside of the cup cool while the coffee inside was piping hot. The coffee carried its flavor profile quite well and tasted very smooth. The ambiance at Locus is second to none. Comfortable seating, distance between other parties, and lively music contributed to the comforting nature. I ordered the chorizo wrap to eat. Appropriately priced and stuffed with chorizo, Spanish rice, egg, cheese, and their garlic chive cream cheese, this wrap was packed with flavor. Upon the check arriving to the table, the waitress informed us that although we have paid we are free to stay and use the space for however long we need. Overall, the food was good and the service was spectacular. Locus gets all the little things right. read more

I stopped here to grab breakfast and coffee to go while visiting Bellingham. The decor is very cool, with street art style wall paintings and window seats with cushions and pillows. The service was very quick, friendly and welcoming, and they gave me water to sip while I waited for my order. The food and drinks were delicious -- I got sausage breakfast wraps, the special maple spiced chai and the Tonkin iced coffee for my partner and I. Everything was very flavorful and filling. Highly recommend! read more

This bar is still open during COVID and one of the most unique menus I have seen in many years. The breakfast burritos especially are nice extra crispy and never soggy. The beer and wine selection has all of everyone's favorites and some options that I haven't seen anywhere else. As someone who just moved to Bellingham a few months ago this has become my favorite restaurant. The staff is quick, courteous and extremely friendly. Anyone looking for a spot to eat, drink or get some coffee should definitely try this place out! read more
