Decided to stop here on a whim as we were hungry and it's the first place that popped up on the…read moremap. I've lived in and around Bellingham for my entire life and somehow never realized this spot existed. What a find! For starters the reviews were great, but the parking lot was full when we arrived at 1pm on a random Wednesday which is typically a good sign that this is the spot. The entrance lives up to the name with a beautiful arched door to welcome you in. The space is large and airy with a ton of visual interest. We were told there was a 5-15 minute wait but it was very quick before we were seated in the bustling dining room. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Seeing the food and amazing coffee/hot chocolate drinks being delivered was genuinely exciting us. With peaches in season, peach blintzes and French toast were on special. The server recommended the blintzes so that's what I ordered. When they arrived she told me that if I didn't like them they would switch them out which was a nice offer but I absolutely loved them. I also ordered the fancy Vienesse coffee which was a true treat! Overflowing with homemade whip it was amazing, but not super hot. My hubby ordered the Buttermilk breakfast which was two pancakes, one egg, bacon, fruit and included coffee and juice. The house coffee was delish which was a very nice to have. He also ordered a side of sourdough bread which was amazing with the homemade jelly. My daughter ordered the kids chocolate chip pancakes and devoured them. The only complaint was that it was a little on the spendy side, but when you consider that it's literally all homemade ingredients it's absolutely worth it. Can't believe we've slept on this place for so long. Will definitely be back!

First time at Birch Door. Pics in other reviews reminded us of another restaurant that we always…read moreenjoy, so we had to check it out. Everyone is super nice and eager to please. Really enjoyed the baked French Ham & Cheddar omelet. Plenty for us to split. They have excellent butter that enhances their already great pancakes. The pancakes were included with the omelet. Pretty proud of their biscuits but we thought ours was overcooked. We enjoyed eating the soft middle inside, but left the crusty outside. And we're not raspberry preserve folks. I love fresh raspberries but just can't do any other raspberry items. Tried the preserves but just not for me. Probably won't order the bacon again either. Good flavor but thick cut and hard to cut/chew. We'll be back!!

What a gem! Here in WA state and more precisely in Seattle,…read morewe take our coffee very seriously and let me tell you that this coffee shop counter really delivers. My dad who is also very picky when it comes to his black coffee approved their drip from the first sip. I happened to order one of their holiday drinks made with rompope (Mexican eggnog like) and it was just right, impecable coffee flavors, not too sweet, perfectly spiced! Now, their alfajores (kind of hard of finding) were sublime, melt in your mouth and their arequipe is exceptionally rich, perfect sweetness.

Absolutely the best experience. Hot, delicious arepa. Sweet and flakey alfahor. Most importantly…read morethe coffee! The horchata cold brew is one of the best I have ever had (the service professional even specified if I like sweet or not too sweet?). I am impressed with the kind and quality service.

It's nice that they're half size so you can eat 2 flavors easily. They also have day old donuts at a discount. Fun merchandise, cute cafe with tons of seating. Fun place to hang out with friends. But it is also just a regular coffee shop? Nothing mind blowing. I wish the donuts were made in house! That would have lived up to the name.

I went on a Sunday morning with my dear friend to do studying and we needed to get straight to work and thankfully with the quick service we were able to receive we did just that. The lady who took our order and made our drinks was quite pleasant to confer with and had a great attitude. 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!

Steve and I wanted to go to a coffee shop when we were on our most recent trip to Bellingham. Caffe…read moreAdagio was the closest spot that came up that would meet the criteria for this. We both had London Fog drinks and we usually get oat milk with our coffee shop drink purchases and oat milk goes especially well with this particular drink. Of course where would we be if we didn't get pastries. I got a delicious Blackberry Danish that they had while Steve got a savory pastry. Both were quite good and the pastry counter in general I noticed their selection was going fast so it is very popular! Good coffee shop stop and one well worth returning to but it shouldn't be a huge surprise entirely as college towns like Bellingham usually have great coffee shops!

I made a mental note to visit their site in Bellingham. I finally had the opportunity to try Makeworth Coffee Roasters and has now become my coffee destination up north (3/29/25). Decent paid street parking availability. The cafe itself is really amazing with the two level layout, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. Various seating arrangements that was not crammed together and allowed for comfortable convo, reading, or for the laptop crowd. The front counter had visible posted menus, a pastry case, and various coffee roasts to choose from. The layout allowed for efficient customer flow for ordering, pickup, and takeout. Welcoming barista staff - no hipster attitude. There's also other merch available for purchase. Overhead music and interior aesthetic added to the pleasant environment. Enjoyed my mocha, thankful for the clean restroom before hitting the road, and look forward to trying the purchased roast for brewing at home. Definitely recommended!
