For the past four years when I do road trip therapy up to Skagit and Whatcom counties or detour from Vancouver, BC or Lummi Island, I tend to stop by my usual favorites. This time I decided to check out Ashuri Baklava and Cafe in downtown Bellingham (10/29/22). Looks like it has been open for a little over a year. Credit goes to fellow Yelp Elite, Michael B and the chefs/owners at Hamdi in Seattle for putting this spot on my radar screen. I lucked out and found parking nearby, but unfortunately couldn't stay longer and indulge in a Turkish coffee and treats onsite. It is a tiny spot with limited indoor and sidewalk seating. I enjoyed the bright interior, decor, and looking at available merch on display. Clearly much care are given to featured curated items. Also as an aside, there are caffeine free, dairy free, vegan options available. The items I did get to go though included a selection of baklava from the lower of two front shelves in the display case, spinach and feta borek, and rose locum (Turkish delight). Amazing, exceptional quality and flavors! Another terrific addition to my road trip rotation!

I don't really eat baklava but I'll review this the best I can. there was a nice surprise waiting for me. normally it was 30 for 10 pieces but the person behind the counter said he would cut me a deal for 25 for 10 pieces. So naturally I had to get the super sampler to get a nice variety of baklava. I will say 3 of them tasted the same and the chocolate one was distinguishable as well as the pistachio. the pistachio especially was drying and I feel like it was way too unbaklavay. definitely check it out for some great baklava there's parking nearby but the interior is quit small so not the best place to sit down and eat baklava.

Food: 4.8 -- I tried Salep for the first time (a hot beverage w/milk, cinnamon, and a flour made from wild orchid tubers), which was really lovely. I tried 2 pieces of sweet baklava, both of which were delightful. I also ordered a small portion of Turkish sausage (off-menu), and I was surprised at how much I loved that because I usually don't enjoy sausages that much. And I got 2 kinds of savory pastries called "borek" (1 potato-onion, and 1 spinach-feta). It was all yummy (I found the spinach-feta borek a tiny bit dry, which is the only reason I didn't give the food a full "5." A minor quibble, to be sure, but that made me wonder if there's a hot sauce (or any kind of sauce) that's commonly used in Turkish cuisine.) Service: 5 -- The service was friendly, warm, and accommodating. Ambiance: 5 -- The atmosphere inside was cozy and inviting, with 4 tiny bistro tables plus a couple of club chairs w/coffee table. The vibe was mellow and relaxing. Definitely worth a visit.

So nice to see a new coffee shop opening up here in Bellingham. And it's not just a coffee shop, it's a coffee shop that brew Turkish coffee and offers baked pastries like Baklava. First time having Turkish coffee and no sure if it's for me. Super smooth and strong..even my small cup sampler was strong. I am that coffee drinker that needs cream in their coffee, so that might be why I wasn't into this style. Also as a Elite Yelper, I was given some of their pastries to try. I love Baklava and can't seem to locate a place here in Bellingham that would satisfied my Baklava cravings. That being said, this place would be where I would go if I need to grab some Baklava.

I loved this place! The inside was beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. It sounds like two brothers who were originally from Turkey own the place - but I totally overheard that, so I could be wrong. I had the cardamom coffee, my husband had the lemon hot fruit tea, we each had a mussel baklava, and we bought some Turkish delight. Pros - The beverages were made quickly, were fresh, and delicious. - The Turkish delight is made sort-of local in Vancouver by a man who uses real fruit juice and was delish. - Everything was super clean. The gentleman behind the counter was cleaning up. - The staff was friendly and helpful. Cons - Not really a con, but the baklava wasn't as crisp as I'm used to. It may be a variety I've never had before?

Passing by from our Vancouver day trip, my gf and I wanted some coffee but saw this walking around. Ive never tried Turkish coffee and here is my chance. Amazing coffee indeed! The gentleman working was very kind and the walnut baclava was also delicious! I will definitely come back if in town again.

A most relaxing place to try Turkish coffee (sip, not gulp) and have a healthy Turkish breakfast and/or a baklava. Peaceful and charming room, great owners to chat with, everything prepared with great care. My regular breakfast out, but they have sandwiches and baklava and more. Also, some retail items. Rugs too! Great value.

Traditional Turkish breakfast plate, spinach börek and Turkish coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious! I loved it!

Desree W.

The food is fantastic. The service is wonderful. The owner is so nice and gracious. The ambiance is so warm and inviting. There's traditional Turkish music playing. There are other items for sale such as Turkish lamps and rugs, spices, etc. If you're in Bellingham, you have to check them out. It is a great place!

Aside from all the incredible Mexican eats in Bellingham who knew located in the heart of downtown Bellingham was this beautiful Turkish cafe. The cafe was decorated with these gorgeous Turkish lamps on the ceiling. It was such a treat to discover this side of the culture's cuisine! Ashuri serves a list of traditional Turkish drinks and timeless Turkish desserts and savoury pastries as well. We ordered the Kadayif + Pistachio Baklava +Turkish Coffee + Menengic. The Turkish Coffee has a nice bold flavour. The Menengic is creamy, not caffeinated and made of terebinth berries. Both drinks are in a small cup that is meant to be sipped slowly until you hit the thick grounds on the bottom. It was the perfect reminder for us to slow down, live in the present and enjoy every sip and bite!

A very nice place for coffee and exotic Turkish sweets (and some savory treats). At first I was confused. Is this a breakfast place or what? Well it is not a breakfast place. Ashuri opens at 10 am just on time for coffee break. Ashuri closes at 8 pm. Which seems to be a good time to stop drinking coffee (if you want to sleep anyway) Ashuri most abundant offering is Turkish coffee. The coffee is a real treat. If you haven't had Turkish coffee before, we'll it isn't Starbucks. Turkish coffee is like espresso with the grounds in the bottom of the cup. The eating at Ashuri is great. All of the products are air shipped in from Turkey (Istanbul). I only tried a few of the many varieties of Turkish treats (oh yes the have Baklava). All of the treats were great. If you need something Harry try the Borek.

6 pieces of 3 different baklava, including a pistachio baklava.

Amazing baklava! My wife and I recently visited as part of a Yelp Event. We really enjoyed meeting and talking to Kris and Lukas, the owners. Great guys, very passionate about culture cuisine! I don't ever drink hot coffee - it's cold brew for me. But the Turkish coffee they served was very smooth! We loved the samples of baklava we were offered, and bought a full box for home. I guess I've never had authentic baklava, because these treats were awesome! Nice addition to the Bellingham scene. We'll make it a point to stop by whenever we're in B'ham.

Michael B.

It's a unique addition to the Bellingham restaurant seen . Small cafe with great ambiance. We were welcomed by Chris , who gave us a brief overview of the menu . Baklava was crunchy and tasted fresh . Turkish coffee is authentic, make sure your aware of the sludge at the bottom of cup ( as you would expect with real Turkish coffee ) . Place has a gd vibe , with great genuine hospitality . Definitely stop by and give this place a shot .

John M.

I am so happy! Tipped off by daughters I was cued to the opening of Ashuri. Entering the front doors and you are standing in a Turkish Cafe. Immediately I was greeted by the wonderfully handsome staff. You will love them. Turkish delight samples were quickly offered. My choice was Borek (a light pastry with cheese) which they warmed so the outside was crispy. Assorted Turkish Delight, Pistachio Roll, and Baklava. All completely delicious. Will be back for Turkish Coffee. This is a gem. Will be back often.

This place is a hidden gem. We stopped by on our way from Vancouver to Seattle. It has such nice interior decoration. We had borek and Turkish tea. I really enjoyed having a cup of freshly brewed whole leaf tea in our break. My 2 year old ate the whole portion of borek.

Some of the best Turkish coffee I have ever had, but frankly the price makes it inaccessible to most college students, especially with 18% tip, which he honestly did deserve for the excellent service. Despite its concentration, the coffee was of such high quality that there was almost no detectable bitterness, just rich, powerful flavor which paired wonderfully with the added cardamom. The Turkish Delight was also unusually good but then again the price. I had actually come in just to try the baklava but at 1/4 the average size for the same average price for a full sized $3.5 baklava, I just couldn't justify it to myself. This place is for special treats, what you are paying extra for is the quality, the atmosphere, and the knowledge held by the staff, I just wish I could afford to patronize it regularly, but my tuition doesn't really allow for it. I understand that it is difficult for small businesses, but the price alienates a potentially huge demographic of customers. read more

It's nice that they're half size so you can eat 2 flavors easily. They also have day old donuts at a discount. Fun merchandise, cute cafe with tons of seating. Fun place to hang out with friends. But it is also just a regular coffee shop? Nothing mind blowing. I wish the donuts were made in house! That would have lived up to the name.

I went on a Sunday morning with my dear friend to do studying and we needed to get straight to work and thankfully with the quick service we were able to receive we did just that. The lady who took our order and made our drinks was quite pleasant to confer with and had a great attitude. People would walk in and out to order their food or drink but other than that it was relatively quiet. Another thing not often seen at other places was the variety of seating, Maple bar has high chairs, big tables with benches, cozy chairs, and even small sectioned off areas to sit. Inside was colorful, bright, and warm. It definitely put me in a bright mood for the day! Great study spot! I would recommend!

They have a really cool menu where just about anything can be made gluten free and/or vegan. Tons of savory options, which I loved. I ordered online and got a California sandwich on gluten free. It was ready in 20 (on a Saturday too- impressive), and ready to go. The staff are awesome. They had such great energy. There were about 4-5 of them, all working on something, and it was nice to see a properly staffed place where each person was contributing without it feeling too stressful/busy. There are a lot of cute touches- free stickers, a dinosaur vending machine, local art. It was a joy to walk in the door and wait for my meal. The waffle was amazing. A tad sweet, which complimented the flavors well. They have really perfected this and I am already hoping to make a trip back soon for more!

We would try it again if we are in the area. Love the compostable and trash options which brought it up to 5 stars. We had a 10% off coupon from our whale watching cruise from San Juan cruises- hence the total being less than the posted price plus tax.

Their menu is really easy to read and understand and they are very friendly and quick. They give you a buzzer you can take with you and go find somewhere to sit which is great. We decided to try the rice noodle soup with beef, potstickers and donuts. The soup was amazing. So much flavor and packed with lots of noodles and beef. You get quite a bit for what you pay for. The potstickers also had lots of flavor and was the perfect texture with just the right amount of crisp. The donuts, oh wow. These are amazing! I would come back just for these alone! They were served hot and drizzled with a perfect amount of sweetened condensed milk, they were so good. Our food came out quick and hot and for how much food you get and the quality of food you get it's definitely worth it. We will be back!

The setup includes a couple of food trucks and a covered beer garden with seating. We decided to grab our food to go since the weather wasn't cooperating, but everything still tasted amazing back at our hotel. We ordered vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian fried egg rolls, chicken dumplings, pork Chinese buns, and chicken rice noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The soup in particular had a rich, comforting broth with tender chicken, noodles, and cabbage. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and service was fast. The woman working the truck was friendly and welcoming, even with the wind and rain coming down. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bellingham. If the weather is better, we will stay and eat in the beer garden. This place is a great find.

They have lots of different meat choices to pick from but we personally like the carne asada the best. They fill the tacos full of meat and they top them with onions and cilantro. They give complimentary chips and salsa and pinto beans. Everything here has so much flavor, it's the best taco place we have ever been to. The prices are very reasonable. You pick your own spot to sit and someone comes and takes your order shortly after. The service here is fast! Our tacos always come out quick after we order. When you go to pay you have to go to the store next door down the hallway, so that was a little tricky at first to figure out. We love it here!
