It offers pretty much your typical convenience store fare: candy, cigs, chips, drinks, a small selection of groceries, and (of course) beer.

Silver Beach Grocery

For me, Silver Beach epitomizes all that is sophisticated and urban…read more Why? Because, when my dad moved from the middle of nowhere, Washington, to the great big town of Bellingham, Silver Beach Grocery store was about a block and a half away from our house. A block and a half away! A store! That sells stuff! Not ten miles away, but a block and a half away! Oh, the wonders of city life! Every night I would hope that we ran out of some crucial dinner time ingredient, like milk, so that we could run down to the store and buy some more. (The hope was not as strong as my unfulfilled desire that one night my dad would *forget* about dinner entirely, and we'd be forced to order pizza and have it delivered right to our door!) Besides milk, shady magazines, and cigarettes, Silver Beach also had a reliable stock of Big Hunk candy bars, which besides being the best tasting candy bars (when microwaved for 18 seconds), also have the best name. I got one almost every day the summer I was 13, more because I was bored and that's the only activity I could afford than because of any merit of Big Hunks. I was so enamored with Silver Beach that I told everyone I lived in the Silver Beach neighborhood (which is so small as to be practically non-existent and certainly unheard of) and I gave directions to my new city house from the Silver Beach grocery store, despite the fact that everyone I talked to would all be coming from the opposite direction. Since then, I've grown less enamored of this neighborhood store, but it still holds a special place in my heart.

Unfortunately, their decaf roast is just awful! Deeply bitter with a lingering flavor of burnt toast. I've had decaf at many places and to be fair it is tough.

I even asked the barista and they kindly switched my Americano for their decaf drip. But that was just as bad so it's definitely the roast. I'm guessing their other roasts are better, and like I said the food and service were great for me. But if you drink decaf I really don't think this is your spot.
