This is the oldest ongoing establishment in Bellingham, and the oldest cafe in the state. Simple yet funky offerings---churro waffles a la mode, Russian-style cheesy tots, the perfect bloody mary, excellent all-day happy hour on Sunday. While the cafe seating is cute, we recommend ducking in to the adjoining bar seating, The Ranch Room. Same food, funner atmosphere with billiards and darts.
Our favorite date spot. If you'll be visiting Vancouver, this is a can't-miss (although we'd say it's worth the drive all on its own)! Lobster bisque, steamed mussels, steak, croque madame, and lots and lots of cheese.
Only a 10-minute drive from the border (and, therefore, the bride and groom's house), this is a favorite when we're needing schnitzel and fish 'n chips.
Prepare to get lost in here for a while.
Our second date! Lovely craft cocktails and small plates.
We swear it: they serve the best Reuben ever made, with lots of local craft brews/meads/ciders.
