Fast becoming one of my new favorite coffee shops and they are so much more than coffee! Soups, sandwiches, baked goods. Step off railway Avenue into this beautiful bustling, but quaint Italian feel with live jazz every Saturday afternoon. Their cinnamon rolls are a local favorite and WOW delicious gf options and selection. Very busy in the morning and thins out a bit until lunch time. Delicious foods and service. Nice place to take your out of town guests.

Had a coffee date at Caffe Adagio and was my first time here. It was a nice coffee shop, lots of variety on the menu, and had both chair and couch seating, was cozy and comfortable. What I didn't like was that there is not wait service(you order at the counter, get your items, and then take your items to the dirty dish bin by the door on your way out.) Because of this, the tables were all dirty from who say they'd before, tables were sticky and no way to wipe them down. The bus station is across the street, and interesting customers and pan handlers coming in and out and walking around the caffe. Not sure it's where I might come back. The tea was okay; certainly not the best I've had. Adios Adagio!

Caffe adagio is SO AWESOME! Such great ambiance and seating to camp out for an hour or two and read a book while sipping on some awesome coffee and locally baked treats! They have such an awesome atmosphere and their coffee is mind blowingly good, one of the best dirty chais I have had in a while!

A nice cafe with excellent coffee and espresso and cappuccino drinks. They just happen to have a live jazz band playing when we stopped in. Sorry I didn't have time to stay long but enjoyed it for a short while.

Very delicious drinks. We got the Italian soda and ice latte. Made well, flavor is very good. Also friendly staff and a cool spot to check out.

It's kind of overpriced and pretentious, but if you're trying to get homework done and you're tired of woods, this is probably the place to go. It's usually not too hard to find parking, which is surprising as it is downtown, and I believe the meters in front are 3 hours. I would recommend the London fog -- earl grey tea with vanilla and steamed milk. They also sell bottled juices, water, and snacks. Fast wifi, and four or five of the tables have electrical outlets. read more

This place is huge...no, I mean really huge. It's larger than any coffee shop I've ever been too. So, who cares about the size? Students!! This is an excellent place to study because you can almost always find a table. The coffee is good, not great. But, the tea is fantastic! I wish tgey had a better pastry selection but they do have truffles! ...or is it fudge? Anyways they have some sort of chocolate decadence for purchase! read more

This is now my second time here so need to review. I love this place probably the best coffee in Bellingham. The atmosphere is classic but not stuffy. The staff is friendly. I don't know why I haven't tried this place until now. Much better than the ever popular Woods Coffee, which always tastes burned or bitter to me. The first time I had a delicious scone and my wife and son split a cinnamon roll, my wife thought it was one of the best she has ever had. Hours are from 7 AM to 6 PM and closed on Sunday's. Overall great experience and I will be back. read more

I love to study at cafes, and this one is my favorite by far! Comfortable seats, nice old-timey jazz music, and lots of window seating. I love to sit by their big windows and watch the rain fall. They have these nice wide windowsills, perfect for resting your cup of coffee while you strew papers and books everywhere on the table. The coffee is DELICIOUS. Mmmmmm. Best coffee I've had in town and the presentation is lovely: simple, elegant, lovely little white cups. Very reasonably priced, too. In terms of food I've only tried the focaccia and the veggie sandwich but both were very tasty - the hint of pesto in the sandwich is the perfect finishing touch. I do wish they had more vegan food options, but I'd rather they keep focusing on making their coffee as good as they do. If you're looking for a classic cafe experience, you've come to the right place. read more

The coffee is wonderful, and the London Fog is the best in town - hands down! This is a local family business run and customers are treated very well. The new remodel gives even more space - which is good because the place is justifiably busy. At the same time, the noise level is reasonable. I particularly like the Adagio salad and the tomato bisque soup. My husband loves the turkey gusto sandwich. Really, you can't go wrong with the food. It is always fresh and healthy! read more

This place is fantastic! Because I work downtown, finding a coffee shop that is quiet and without distractions is difficult. I love the atmosphere here--quiet, spacious, with a more "adult" vibe. This can be hard to find in a college town. They make a divine chai tea latte.

Cute coffee shop at a corner of downtown Bellingham. On a scale of one to hipster it's definitely not a Starbucks or a Woods coffee. If you're trying not to go mainstream, this is your stop!

This is my absolute favorite coffee house in Bellingham. (Hmm, maybe I shouldn't be telling everyone about it. But too good not to share.) It's on a corner, lots of light and lots of room for the tables. Feels companionable without being pressed next to other people. Excellent acoustics, a good place to talk. But also a good place to go by yourself, to read or work or just drink your coffee. My husband says it's the only place in town that makes a correct cappuccino. Excellent mochas. Their baked goods are from the Mt. Bakery, and their light lunch fare is delicious. They have just put in outdoor tables under a roof; looking forward to sitting there this summer. read more

The bioluminescence drink is very aesthetic and drinks like a soda / energy drink, though it is a one and done for me as I don't feel the sparkles are the most healthy thing. The toasty marshmallow latte was a bit pricy at $7.50 but they had 3 pieces of toasted marshmallow that is perfect (s'mores like but not burnt) and there is a lot of drink. It was on the sweeter side for me. They have Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the side but it was a bit stale, but I won't be docking off a star as there's not much to it and everything else was delicious.

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!

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. It's often more bitter than the full roasts, but I'm used to that. This is the first cup I couldn't finish in a long time. 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.

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.

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!

If you're looking for a spot favored by locals in Downtown Bellingham, this coffee shop should be on your list. It exudes coziness, making it a perfect hangout spot where customers can relax and savor their sandwiches. As for the coffee, it's a bit hit or miss depending on the day or the barista. Sometimes you'll get a dark, robust brew, while other times it may be a bit milder. However, the inconsistency in coffee quality is overshadowed by the welcoming and friendly service, which is one of the main reasons I personally enjoy coming here. Regardless of the time of day, the staff always radiate a bright vibe that makes you feel right at home. Located in Downtown Bellingham, the restroom is okay but could use some attention due to the high volume of customers. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the ambiance remains cozy, albeit a bit loud at times - making it the perfect spot to visit on a lonely or rainy day. While the food offered is above average, it's worth noting that pastries tend to sell out quickly, so it's best to grab them early if you have your heart set on one. Parking is plentiful with plenty of public parking available, although be prepared to pay for it. In summary, this coffee shop is a beloved local gem offering a warm atmosphere, decent food, and friendly service, despite the occasional inconsistency in coffee quality. It's an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy a bite to eat, whether you're catching up with friends or seeking solace on a rainy day. read more

Caffee Adagio is a popular restaurant/café in downtown Bellingham. I go there regularly for coffee and light meals. The factors that I consider when reviewing a restaurant are the food, the price, the atmosphere, the service, the location and the parking. I am happy to write a great review of Caffe Adagio because it meets all of my needs very well. Caffee Adagio is conveniently located on Railroad Avenue in Bellingham, where there is always parking. It is open Monday through Saturday from 7 AM until 6 PM. It serves all kinds of coffee and tea and has a good selection of food items, including soup, sandwiches and pastries. Everything is affordably priced. service is friendly, and it's a very large space with a variety of seating options, including comfortable chairs and couches. Whenever I go here, there is space available, unlike at some other cafés that I've been to. I usually order a latte and a pastry, which are always delicious. I like to come here to study my English with my friend Barbara because of the nice atmosphere, the great coffee, and the fact that we can always find seats and a table. Caffe Adagio is my favorite café in Bellingham because of the reasonable prices, delicious food and beverages , and friendly service. I also love the fact that the restaurant is so spacious. My only complaints are that it could be a little quieter and that it's closed on Sundays, but those are minor. Five stars! read more

This locally owned business, focuses on building community, bringing people together to share in the passion of the craft. Each espresso is carefully prepared and beautifully presented, inspiring the palate with flavors of European perfection. Their classy, yet unpretentious atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and detail-oriented service make Caffe Adagio a great coffeehouse experience. They also use some of the finest Roasted beans out of Seattle, Caffe D'Arte -- One of the Authors Most desired Espresso Beans.

Coffee was good, staff was friendly, nice cafe, wish there were a few more plugins, the wifi for some reason.. seemed like a joke, maybe it was my phone? Zero wifi signal inside, I go across the street, waiting for my bus at the station.. very strong signal appears.. it's the cafes wifi.. that was funny lol. 100 feet away, I found their wifi. I think this HAD to be a glitch, or else so many more would have said something. read more

Yum! I had the most pleasant time here with some friends. They treated us like we were regulars, and they had a few books out in case we got bored. It was a little like someone's fancy living room.
