I wanted a gluten free treat late at night and figured I may be out of luck. As it turned out, my dreams were about to come true. Pure Bliss has a WIDE selection of gluten free, and a vegan section. Yes, there is also an overlap with some items that are both. I was super impressed with how vast the selections for both were. It is CUTE in here! Feels like a modern Parisian bakery. There were plenty of people sitting and enjoying their desserts with a glass of bubbly. It felt like I stepped into a whole new world. The women working were DOLLS! So sweet. I could tell they had the ordering counter down to a science and were super efficient while still being friendly and spending time with each customer. The gluten free carrot cake was decadent and flavorful. The creme brule was lovely. The caramel bar (not gluten free) was reported to be quite good as well. I can't wait to come back! read more

I was surprised to learn that a dessert shop was open until 10 on Friday and Saturday, and even more shocked when the place was hopping at 9:45 pm!! We got a slice of the carrot cake and a glass of port (they sell alcohol). The folks who worked there were super sweet and promised not to kick us out right at 10pm. My partner took a bite of the carrot cake and said "this is vegan?!" "and gluten free!!" I also bought some Nanaimo bars (not vegan) to bring to my parents as a gift. read more

A family member told us how good this place was and got us a giftcard to come by and give them a try. The building is decorated so cute! Its very inviting and adorable from the street view. Right when we walked in we felt like we stepped into the cutest litte bakery shop. There were cakes and cookies, different types of bars and cupcakes galore. The endless amounts of options for desserts is not the only thing they have tons of options for, they also have lots of options for beverages as well. They serve wine, champagne, coffee, tea, cider, its the cutest place! Truly something here for everyone. We have been here multiple times since using our giftcard and our favorites are the caramel butter bar and margarita wedge (seasonal I believe which is sad because it's so delicious). The caramel butter bar is amazing. If you like shortbread and caramel this one is for you. There are so many choices here you will for sure find something! They offer some staple flavors that dont change but a lot of their cakes and cupcakes flavors and other select desserts do change monthly so keep that in mind and come in often to try all the new things! read more

Gluten Free chocolate cake! Yes! Really a beautiful shop. Decadent, something for everyone.

Have only had one item from here, but twice, and it's amazing. The vegan carrot cake is moist, nicely spiced, perfect amount of frosting and delicious. read more

The shortbread cookie with icing is soooooo good. The best I have had. The italian soda on the other hand was lacking and I was left wishing it was better. Maybe it needed another pump of flavor or the soda was almost not bubbly anymore. Either way I wouldn't order again. The desserts though, I would try more. The line can be a bit long but it moves. The place is busy full of those working or trying to catch up over a sweet treat. The cleanliness is average and overall like they just turn tables so fast the staff is always trying to catch up. But they do come over to wipe down your table which is nice. I wouldn't necessarily be here for the vibes but the desserts yes. read more

We always look forward to visiting Pure Bliss Desserts when we're in the area. They have a wide array of dessert options, there is something for everyone here including vegan and GF options. The three of us attended their 14th birthday on 10/24 where each customer received a mini parfait and 20% off desserts, beverages and merch. My family loves dessert, so we stocked up. The desserts taste as good as they look. read more

Pure Bliss is exactly that: pure bliss! We stopped in for a late-night sweet fix and were blown away. The spumoni cake and the gluten-free mocha cake were absolutely delicious; rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The hot chocolate was also amazing, super comforting without being overly sweet. They've got a ton of vegan-friendly options, which was such a nice surprise, and the little shop is full of cute mementos and local charm. It's cozy, welcoming, and open until 10pm, which makes it the perfect spot for an evening treat or coffee catch-up. We also loved the baristas: they were incredibly kind and helpful, and you could tell they really enjoy being there. Can't recommend this place enough if you're in Bellingham. It's a total gem. read more

Our first visit to Pure Bliss. Jack took great care of us, made us feel at home, and gave us great recommendations. It is so adorable when you walk in, and there are so many choices in the cases. The cake slices we shared, chocolate sea salt caramel, chocolate coconut and gluten free carrot cake were wonderful. The vanilla ice cream was so creamy. We will absolutely be back. Hope you see Jack when you go, he'll take great care of you. read more

Friday at 2pm, and there was quite a wait just to get a couple of items to go. Seems like they do a very good takeout / catering business, and they were quite busy packing a bunch of goodies. In the meantime, the ordering line grew to about 10 people deep. Anyway, I wanted to get a brownie and a Nanaimo wedge, but my husband convinced me we should each enjoy a Nanaimo, since we can't get them anywhere but in the Vancouver Island area. We hadn't had one in a very long time. Our tastes might have changed, but we both felt these were much too sweet for our current palettes. I should've gotten that brownie instead! For most goodies, pricing was identical ($5.15) to another Bellingham fancy bakery, quite expensive for me. read more

Lots of freshly baked dessert options some of the best ones are the ones with local seasonal fruits. They also offer wine/champagne. Service is always friendly. When ordering there's typically a wait because they're always so busy but they bring your order right to you while you enjoy the lounge. Cute little local bakery that I highly recommend. read more

This place is amazing! Great food, great service! The chocolate cakes are the best, the vanilla cakes can be a bit dry.

Pure Bliss is always busy, but it's for a good reason. If you want something to satisfy your sweet tooth, this is the place! Between the various types of cheesecake, the fluffy chocolate mousse, the moist carrot cake, and the layer cakes, your taste buds will have trouble figuring out which to choose. Top it off with a nice espresso, and you have the perfect closing act for your evening out. Happy dining! read more

Amazing selection of desserts. Staff was so friendly and welcoming. Dining area was very clean and comfortable.

I got the pink champagne cake and a Bundt cake and a lemon shortbread cookie. The cake was a bit dry for my liking and the cookie was just ok. I did get a chai latte that was ok. I got to taste one of their cheesecakes (margarita) I think that was the flavor. It was really good. That's the only thing I would recommend. They also sell wine. Neat spot, but I wouldn't go out the way. read more

The is review is based on a couple things: I chose an 18% tip at the register as the "lowest option" for someone to bring me two drinks and two cakes. All of which came out 15 min apart. But when they calculated the tip it was ON TOP of the taxed amount. Shady. Super shady. The cakes were ok but pretty dry so I'm glad we got teas with them. I also bought two brownies that were BRICKS! Like inedible. I brought them to my kids and both threw them away, they were so hard. The place is cute the staff was friendly but over all I was not impressed. I would have taken the brownies back had it not been 10pm by the time my kids tried them. read more

If you have a sweet tooth, walk into Pure Bliss. After dinner nearby, my wife, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law popped into Pure Bliss for dessert. Here's our experience. 1) Food: Going at around 9 p.m., many desserts were sold out, but still the counter was filled with New York style cheesecake, Russian tea cookies, pistachio cake, and more. Everyone loved their dessert- pistachio cake, eggnog cheeecake, New York cheesecake, and a chocolate brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If the cake slices are too big, other the petite slice. 2) Service: It was excellent- friendly and attentive. If you don't know what to order, staff will help you out! 3) Space: With white tiles and neon lights, the space is inviting. There are plenty of places to sit. There are two unisex restrooms in the back. read more

I had a slice of vegan carrot cake and it was amazing! I liked how prominent the spice was, and it was so moist - you would never guess it was vegan. I thought it looked like a big piece, but it felt like it was gone in the blink of an eye because I could not make myself slow down. The shop was also a very nice place to stay and enjoy my dessert. It was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of seating: booths with outlets, traditional tables, and patio. Very pleasant staff. read more

Is this a new thing. Stop in once a month to grab treats for my work meeting. I just get a box of 6ish random treats for the case in a to-go box. Was told you don't do that and only do cupcakes that way. I asked so I can't get just a few in a box, was told we don't do assorted treats from the case. Not sure if this is a new thing or somehow there was a communication break down on what I wanted. Wasn't asking for anything specific or special just 6 treats from the case in a to-go box. read more

The storefront is very cute and the dessert selection is pretty great. I ordered the Spumoni Cake slice and it was good but not the best I've had. The chocolate part was good but the pistachio was a bit dry. The main problem I had was the tip that was automatically applied. I was surprised when I was paying that it didn't ask me for a tip. When I went to apply my credit card, I remember it being $15 but when I received my emailed receipt, I was surprised to see $18 with a tip on there. I would have tipped had there been an option but to make it mandatory to tip without telling the customer you're making it mandatory to tip? Not ok. read more

Love this place, but this visit was a customer service fail. We were next toorder and Maddie called the lady behind us ahead to bring up her full cake sale. We were surprised she skipped us, as was the other customer. When she called on us, we asked her why she brought the other lady up ahead of us. She responded with " she is getting a full cake out of the case". We asked again how that got her ahead of everyone and Maddie then said, "well she was here earlier but left." Not sure how that justifies skipping the line. We started that as regulars here we have never been moved ahead of the line when we bought a full cake. The kicker for this experience was that after we walked away from the counter, she proceeded to discuss the incident with a co-worker at the counter not a good display customer service read more

We came to Bliss at 3:30 PM on Saturday to pick up some desserts for later in the evening. They were a smash hit with our friends! Bliss is so clean and they have lovely displays. You can also pick up gifts here too. We ordered a slice of their nanaimo wedge, creamy lemon wedge, and their peanut butter wedge. All of these flavors are so good and complimentary. The lemon wedge will forever be my favorite-they nailed the sour to sweet ratio here, and their graham cracker crust is great. Their peanut butter wedge and nanaimo wedge are a close tie for second, and the only reason for that is I prefer my sour flavors over sweet ones. The quality of their food is outstanding and had we had time, we would have loved to get comfortable in their beautiful cafe and stay awhile. They really do have the best desserts in Bellingham. read more

Delish! Went there twice while in town. Here's what was ordered........ Carrot cake- good but not my favorite. It had plenty of cream cream cheese frosting which helped but I like my carrot cake moister. This one isn't dry, just not to my liking. German chocolate cake- OMG. Now this one was very moist and had a moreish taste to it. I couldn't stop eating it. Almost wished I had a whole side of more frosting. Highly recommend if your one of the fans of this cake. Also ordered a buntlet but can't remember what it was because it was not good. Very Dry. read more

I stopped by here to get my sweet tooth fix and I picked up the salted chocolate chip cookie and the Oreo cake. The cookie had rich melted chocolate and the texture was perfectly chewy. The cake had a nice texture. It's a pretty dense spongy cake and really moist. It's not overly sweet either and has a really subtle taste of Oreo. They cafe is massive, with lots of different areas to sit and they have really great customer service too! read more

We were in Bellingham for the weekend and decided to try one of the desserts shops in the area. I'm SO glad we did because this place is amazing! Parking was easy to find with street parking across the building and the service was top notch. I ordered the salted caramel cake and it was amazing! Perfectly amount of sweetness and the cake had the perfect texture where it wasn't too dry or moist. Can't wait to come back next time! read more

TLDR: get a slice of cake or two and you won't be sorry. I got a mix of orange almond muffin, brownie, fudge, seasonal coconut cake, crème brûlée, and lavender cheesecake. The highlights were the cake slices and I am not even a coconut fan. The lavender cheesecake was fragrant. And the shop itself was delightful, with plenty of drink choices. I will be back for the cake slices! read more

Pure Bliss supplied the desserts for our wedding (and many dates prior) and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We decided on a small cake that we cut and a variety of bite sized desserts for our guests. We ordered roughly double the servings of our guest count and there was hardly a crumb left! Everything from Pure Bliss is always exactly that - Pure. Bliss. They made the whole process so smooth and easy and I knew we had nothing to worry about with them. As a vegan, who had a number of vegan and/or gluten free guests, I appreciate the number of options they have and their care for crafting desserts for special diets that don't make you even think about the "real" thing. We would absolutely recommend Pure Bliss for any events you need desserts for. read more

There's always a crowd here, and understandably so! The drinks are good, and the desserts are *chef's kiss.* I stopped in for a latte and picked up a couple sweets to bring home with me (devoured them before snapping any photos) - got the Russian Tea Cake and a slice of their Caramel Turtle Wedge. The Russian Tea Cake was delicious. I'm a fan of dry, crumbly baked goods (think scones, tea cakes, shortbread, etc.), so tea cakes are always a favorite of mine and I always grab one whenever I see one. This was no different - would definitely get again! The Caramel Turtle Wedge was also good, but definitely one to portion out due to its intense sweetness. It reminded me of a multilayer bar that my grandma used to make when I was young, with coconut, chocolate, caramels, etc. layered on top of each other. Was enjoyable, but don't make the same mistake I did and let the deliciousness fool you into thinking you could eat the entire wedge in one sitting - you will feel gross after! The latte was, a latte :) read more

Not the best place for chocolate cake but their non-chocolate assortment is top notch. They do "the screen is just going to ask you a couple of questions" tipping and then wait to see what you give them before cutting your slice. read more

By far the best cupcakes I've ever had. We ordered 8 dozen cupcakes and 1 vegan, gluten-free chocolate cake for our wedding and the Pure Bliss team made everything so easy. We were able to order online and everything was ready/good to go on the morning of our wedding. Because of some guests' (and perhaps more importantly, the bride's) dietary restrictions and allergies, we ordered a mix of regular and vegan/gluten-free options. Not only didn't people seem to notice the difference between the two (although they were clearly labeled), it seemed many guests preferred the vegan/gluten-free options! The only downside to the cupcakes being soooooo good was that, even with such a large order, we didn't really have any cupcakes leftover after the wedding. People weren't shy about returning for seconds. Whether you just want a single cupcake or need to offer a sweet treat to dozens of people with varying dietary restrictions or food allergies, I'd recommend Pure Bliss again and again. read more

In Bellingham for the weekend, I was strolling around the downtown commercial area when I spied Pure Bliss. The menu posted outside was irresistible, and I excitedly walk in. My enthusiasm became immediately tempered by the pink floor decals, keeping patrons measurably distant from each other, the sales help, and the desserts on display. Pandemic safety takes precedence over exuberance. Everything looked scrumptious, especially in the classically elegant interior, but the sterility of the viral protection seemed to overwhelm the ambiance of Pure Bliss. Service was a bit cold, my giddy affect not reciprocated. I ordered for take out a slice of NY Cheesecake, a slice of Cookies and Cream cake, a caramel salt cupcake, and a caramel bar. My cheesecake was very good, but lacked the heaviness of a true New Yawk Cheesecake. While the icing on the Cookies and Cream cake mirrored the flavor of what one expects of cookies and cream, the cake itself was chocolate. Both the bar and cupcake were a taste of caramel heaven. Prices may be high for Bellingham, but in line for sophisticated pastry. Pure Bliss will be revisited by this dessert maven. read more

Any time I go here I have a slam dunk experience. This place is always popular so don't be surprised if you have to wait 10 minutes in line. It's worth it, though. You can't go wrong with any of these desserts. I like the chocolate mousse! And while you're there you can enjoy a beverage. You have your choice of canned drinks, champagne or even a coffee. I highly recommend the London Fog and request they put lavender in it because that's where the magic is at! Another recommendation is the chai latte. read more

Had to let everyone know how my "Grinch Cake" (aka the Pure Bliss pistachio cake) made my Christmas dinner this year! After our more than filling meal wasn't sure about topping it off with cake, any cake! But...this cake was different. Not overly sweet, just enough and so decadent and the green was fun for the youngsters to aptly name it the Grinch cake! Especially since it was a December special. We will add this desert to the Christmas Nice list every year! read more
