Loved it! We stopped here on our road trip to Vancouver. It is bang in the middle of the Blaine Downtown main street with amazing views of the marina all along. The cafe is a replica of a railway caboose and the kids could relate to the dining car experience. The covered patio is great to sit and munch on food, but on a sunny day, I would however recommend just ordering take out and sitting on the picnic tables right beside the cafe on a sunny day. We ordered a few beverages (Chai Latte, Americano & Maharaja Express) and snack items (ham sandwich & scone) - and everything was reasonably priced and served quickly. The scone was really good though, like better than many of the scones around. We imagined this being a quick coffee stop on the way but ending up spending a good 30mins soaking the views. The pit stop was worth every minute! read more

This was my second visit to the Railway Café in Blaine, and I'm already excited to come back again. This place is adorable, super cute, eclectic, and filled with hilarious signs everywhere you look. And yes, it really is inside a bright red caboose! The whole space is cozy in the best way, with a little seating indoors and a bit more outside, perfect for soaking in the quirky charm. The menu is huge and everything on it seems to call your name, breakfast all day, tons of sandwiches, muffins, smoothies... seriously, so much to love here. On this visit we had the falafel and the Reuben, and both were delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Between the unique setting and the great food, this spot is such a fun little surprise. Definitely worth a visit (or two... or three!). read more

The Railway Cafe is a quaint, charming little REAL train caboose. During Christmas it was decorated in holiday spirit. The fresh baked pasties were a daily delight. And the coffee, especially The Upside Down Coffee special Was truly a treat. Ken and I would like to thank the owners who made our stay in Blaine a pleasure. You're hospitality and personable. There is a large coffee chain close by, but if you want great food, coffee and the best local charm go visit Vinca and Rodney at The Railway Cafe! read more

We thought we'd give the Railway Café another shot, in case they have improved over last time. Unfortunately, this just isn't the same Railway Café as we had in the past. The food is just ok, though the coffee is good. The atmosphere is not really cosy or even relaxing. read more

Wonderful breakfast or lunch place. Amazing pastries. We have been there several times snd always good.

Great food and service. Well worth the money and supporting local businesses. The sandwich was amazing

Great service and food. Fantastic atmosphere! It's small but such a relaxed and home like vibe. You won't be disappointed!

Delicious lemon poppyseed muffin. Great chai. Cute spot by the water. Great place to stop for a snack.

Everyone especially enjoyed their paninis. Smartly, they have priced hot tea the same whatever the size. Spinach feta Burak is a winner and the falafel i just right spicy. limited seating. read more

What a wonderful little restaurant! I love trains so I had to check out this little caboose in Blaine. I ordered an oat milk latte and breakfast sandwich to go, but ended up on the back porch and didn't want to leave. The view of the train track and harbor is so serene! Yes, even when a train went by, it was very quiet! The latte was just what I expected and the sandwich was THE best I've ever had. The bread was easily chewable, the bacon perfectly crispy, the egg just right, and the avocado was the perfect touch. I would recommend this place for a nice start to any day! read more

The Railway Café - Breakfast sandwich and latte - Cafes Near Me - Blaine, Washington

Great place good food friendly staff, and was open when everybody else was closed in a snowstorm

We had breakfast sandwiches and lattes which were really good. The service was friendly and we were entertained by the fun decor.

What a treat this place is, the people working here were great and was surprised at amount, and quality, of food while we were there. While I don't normally care for breakfast sausage had a breakfast sandwich with sausage and it was excellent. Had a nice large regular drip coffee with that and that tasted above average. When we walked in there was no one seated, when we left the other two tables were full. This is a popular spot for locals as one local sauntered in and he was chatting it up with the other couple inside. The dining area, where the the tables are, is rather cozy. The inside is very nicely decorated and definitely has a train theme to it. This caboose has been here since the 80s i believe and had held a number of businesses here, with the coffee shop as the most current one for about the last 5 years. Will definitely plan on stopping in for a coffee sometime soon again, really enjoyed it here! read more

This place was so good, we went twice! We absolutely loved everything about this place! The food, the desserts, the decor, the service! Don't hesitate, get there! read more

I had to do some work in Blaine and asked if there was a particularly good spot for coffee, the gentleman immediately pointed me towards this place. I am sooo happy he did! The Railway Cafe is a gem of a place. Everything looked so fresh and delicious! The owner is wonderful and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. There is a covered outdoor area overlooking the marina as well as warm comfy space indoors. They had some fresh pastries displayed that looked devine. My coffee was excellent- like so good I decided to write a review about it. It was smooth and bitter (in a good way) and just the right balance of flavor. I would definitely make the 30 min drive from Bellingham for this spot. read more

After queuing in line at the border for about 2 hours, hubby and I were both starving and needing caffeine. We usually just drive past Blaine whenever we go to Washington but it was past lunch already and we haven't eaten yet. Found Railway Cafe on Yelp and I figured it would be a nice stopover to grab some bites and coffee before continuing our drive to Seattle. Parking is available on the street and the adorable red caboose was situated overlooking the railroad and the water. We were greeted by the lovely couple who own the cafe and they were friendly and accommodating. Hubby and I ordered the following: GF chocolate cupcake and a coffee for me while he got a sandwich and iced coffee. Everything was delicious and well-made. Washroom is available behind the cafe with a key and it was well-maintained. Looking forward to dropping by Railway Cafe again when we cross the border next time. read more

Fine place! Ambiance awesome. Perfect place for coffee, pastry and enjoy the outside. Small space. 3 2-top tables inside then a coverage outdoor space. Comfy and cozy. Service was fine. Not overly friendly, but not rude. Food is good. Can't say it was special or great. Higher prices. But loved that we get to support a small business. Went for lunch. 3 paninis and soup. Feel like good quality, but not best panini in the world. Soup- actually no idea the cost- good, but simple no "toppings" and would have loved fresh bread vs saltine crackers. I could see stopping here again but for a scone and coffee for sure! :) the pastries looked amazing!!! read more

They are serious about their coffee - the sizes are also labeled with # of shots, and it starts with 2! Quirky cozy, a little something to eat for everyone. The small-but-mighty team makes your food to-order. read more

terrible, overpriced and the food tastes like cardboard . order at counter. cool old building though and the order person was pleasant

Very unique place for a nice breakfast. Very enjoyable Food was delicious and we enjoyed chatting with ownership

As I approached this darling little train-car café, I bet myself that they couldn't make a Peanut Butter Malted Shake. Boy, was I wrong! Best Peanut Butter Malted Shake ever! Listen up tourists and passersby: don't even think of leaving town without one of these 16 oz. cups of liquid heaven in your cup holder. They also have a larger 20 oz. or 24 oz. cup for your sipping pleasure. Sidekick Dude got the chocolate malt. But Peanut Buttah was much mo' betta! Check out this super-clean, cute-as-a-button roadside ice cream & espresso parlor. Be charmed by its staff. These gals are great and were the highlight of our trip to Blaine. They even let me peek at the rails under their caboose. read more

Another GREAT stop to fill your belly in the lovely little town of Blaine, WA! We stopped here a couple of times in our weekend getaway and enjoyed the food, the beverages, and the service! They have a great selection of sandwiches, sweets, and drinks (full espresso menu) along with other delicious offerings. I had the rueben sandwich, which proved to be one of the best ruebens I've ever had! My wife had a turkey and avocado sandwich. She said it was super good too. A grilled cheese for the two year old, and we were set to go. We also got multiple sweet treats on our visits, muffins, scones, etc. They were just as good as they looked!! Topped everything off with coffee and tea and we had a couple of great experiences! The staff is extremely friendly and made sure we were comfortable and all was well. The Railroad Cafe is a must-stop cafe if you're in town. You're certain to find something (or many somethings) to fulfill your cravings!! read more

I recently found myself in Blaine and hungry for breakfast, so I was excited to finally get the chance to check out The Railway. Located in an adorbs little red caboose right along the downtown Blaine waterfront, this cute cafe looks small from the outside but actually provides plenty of seating both inside and out. I ordered a cup of tasty drip coffee and a sausage breakfast burrito, signed into their wi-fi, and settled down for some food, caffeine, and a little work on the ol' laptop. The burrito was HUGE! I could barely finish the whole thing. It was stuffed full of scrambled eggs, cheese, and sausage. Nom nom! The coffee was good, too, and the wi-fi was strong. The lady behind the counter was super friendly, too. She was just finishing up baking some chocolate chip banana muffins, but I was too full from the burrito to partake. Next time, next time! Oh and yes, they have a restroom in the back. I'm telling ya, it's amazing what they can pack into a caboose these days! read more

Not happy upon entering when seeing no mask or gloves on the cook! At this time not a safe practice; it appeared to be a clean serving area with hand sanitizer @ the door... BUT people were hungry so we ordered & stepped outside to wait & were the only people present @ this time. Must say somewhat disappointed in our selections for flavor & size for the price, altho the vegetables were very fresh. Nice to have the Tim's chips as an accompaniment. BY FAR the gem was the Falafel; "true" flavors especially the sauce & proper prep. Have heard from locals the best on the menu are the "breakfast items". read more

Excellent sandwiches. Not only is the restaurant cute, though small--so not appropriate for large groups to dine in--but the food is made to order, as are the beverages. I prefer a panini, and they are always good and hot. The staff is friendly. Park in the lot. read more

I have no problem with the food it has always been good, today was the last time I come here to eat my wife and I and my little dog came in it was fairly busy waited in line for 10 min or so my wife was sitting in the corner with the dog on her lap waiting for me to order then go outside to eat then all of a sudden the woman behind the counter came out and said you need to go outside with your dog she weighs a whopping 8 pounds I can see if an establishment does not allow pets but we had no intention of eating inside besides that she was rude!!! read more

We had a pretty much lousy experience here. Compared to other cafes that had a wait we saw fairly good reviews and decided if the food is good lets try it. Waited in line and ordered our food. It took a good 15 minutes before our drinks arrived and waittress asks if we are waiting for anything else so we tell her we have a wrap and a sandwich still coming. 30 minutes pass and we are now 45 minutes waiting. At this point we can't waste any more time and no one has said anything. We slowly get up to walk out not without our food and the cashier that helped us earlier that we were literally seated in front of the entire 45 minutes says "goodbye have a nice day" even though we were never served. We could have pushed the issue or got our money back but too much time was wasted and would rather take the $ hit than deal with horrible customer service. There were a lot of good reviews of this place and we thought we would give it a chance despite it's funky trailer park aesthetic but yes...in this instance we should have judged the book by it's cover. read more

The drinks are good. The food they actually make, like the delicious apple muffin I had. I take off two stars because the owner is just rude (the other staff are very nice). She didn't seem thrilled to help us, questioned if I was searching her food for nuts (I told her I'm allergic) when I was just trying to figure out the yummy muffin filling, and was rude to another customer who came in after us. If I get another pastry and coffee from here again I won't stay in the cafe to eat. There are a ton of other places to eat and drink. read more

Visiting the Birch Bay area for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Decided to venture out for breakfast. Found this Cafe in Blaine. Pulled up outside of it and thought oh no! Boy were we WRONG!! Cutest thing we ever saw inside. Food was amazing!! Made to order! First bite we were hooked. Breakfast sandwich was fresh tasting and hot. Breakfast burrito was packed with eggs, cheese, bacon and had tons of flavor!! Owner was friendly and down to earth. She explained the menu and how she cooked. Definitely a place to visit! read more
