Now, their alfajores (kind of hard of finding) were sublime, melt in your mouth and their arequipe is exceptionally rich, perfect sweetness.

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!

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.

Each time, I basically walk-in, I point to a table, the staff give me a nod, and I sit down. It's never clear to me if we're supposed to grab our own drinks (and water), but we do, and they note on the bill as they take our order at our table. To pay, you actually go down the hallway to the store to pay the bill. So the service is somewhat confusing and rushed, but never rude. Overall, I still enjoying coming here.

Nice amount of cheese to make the sausage all come together in every delicious breakfast bite. So their garlic Feta dill cream cheese is AMAZING and if it calls out to you, get it! It's as wonderful as you are probably imagining right now and tastes even better. Creamy, wonderful garlic flavor, nice dill and you get the Feta with no flavor overpowering each other (or you). It was wondferful on an everything bagel, and I'm sure it would also be delicious on a variety of the other bagels they have.
