    Matcha latte and americano
    Val E.

    Very modern and sleek space with an ample amount of seating. My friend got an Americano and I ordered a 16oz iced matcha. There was a big line out the door around 10:20. Their pastries look delicious, especially the massive salted biscuit. I would come back for a pastry for sure, the matcha however, was a bit of a miss for me. While waiting for my drink I noticed the pale green shade of matcha another person had ordered and immediately regretted my choice to order matcha. If you're a real matcha lover you know that this is not the color you want to see when paying $8. Especially in Bellingham. Matcha is supposed to be a vibrant green color. I did not order sweetener or plant milk, and it still came out to $8.15. Since they sell a nice quality matcha from Portland on their shelf, I assumed they would know what they were doing. My drink only tasted like whole milk, which was very disappointing.

    the only coffee shop in bellingham i would come back to - coffee was great (slightly acidic) , syrups made in house , friendly baristas , great place to sit a while , and can we talk about that latte art

    Beautiful space with good coffee. Saw people working or studying from the coffee shop too

    Inside. Clean and communal. Locals working at many tables.

    A-OK. Not underwhelming. Not overwhelming. Just..... It's good. Locals seem to like it. Definitely lots of people in here on a weekend morning. PARKING Easy parking and walking from anywhere. SERVICE Friendly/Fast/Curt. It's a busy place. People want their coffee. Let's go. Next. Next. Next. Long lines will move forward quickly. LOCATION This is a really nice, clean location with plenty of 4-top tables for larger groups, a bar along the front window, and large communal table for sharing or a giant party. A few tables on the sidewalk right out front. (Edit: Do they roast here? Today didn't smell like a coffee roaster - just ground coffee shop) Average "quick coffee" chain style. FOOD (Breakfast) Eh. Average. Fair. The granola and fruit is pretty, but not much flavor or substance. Expensive for a small bowl of meh. The fruit was quite past its prime, but maybe it's the time of year - not great produce options? Good yogurt tho? Fancy foam art on the coffee? Check. Is there turmeric usually on the coffee here? I guess it's anti-inflammatory: bonus? I like turmeric, but usually not on coffee (maybe it's a Bellingham thing??). I'd prefer cardamom. Was hoping for more from the coffee. Definitely strange start to the morning. PRICE About average. Stars - 3. [shrug] it's good? It's good.

    We were lucky enough to have had a recent overnight stay in Bellingham and we found this little coffee and breakfast place by accident. It looked elegant from the outside and the line forming was the tip off. Their house coffee was excellent and we both got giant homemade buttermilk biscuits with fresh berry jam. It really was the thing.

    Coffee was so smooth and delicious. I got the house made hazelnut sauce latte with oat milk. It was so smooth and tasted excellent. The wait for quite long for not being busy but I will come back. My friend also got the sausage breakfast sandwich with biscuit and she enjoyed it.

    (https://cambercoffee.com/) How I heard of this place: A walk through downtown, a recommendation from my sisters, and the pictures on their website... Type of cuisine: "Opened in July of 2017, Camber's flagship location can be found in downtown Bellingham, WA. Our team consists of supremely talented individuals who are committed to our guest's experience. We offer seasonal beverage and food menus crafted to showcase each thoughtfully-chosen ingredient. We're in pursuit of unrelenting quality, consistency, and joy." Ambiance: Warm, welcoming, sleek and cozy, this long (not wide) cafe and it's covered outdoor parking spot patio is ripe for a restful visit and consumption of delicious food and beverage. The lengthy bar, the top of which is the cashier, ending with the kitchen at the far back of the establishment is perfect for conversations with baristas as you await your beverages. Bar-height tables and chairs at the front are lit by the natural stream entering through the windows; the booth seating at the back of the dining area is more dimlit and cozy, slightly offering privacy for more intimate get-togethers. The feeling of community, friendship abounds. What I ordered: We enjoy seasonal specials upon most visits to Bellingham. Choosing a favorite among our plentiful orders is a challenge. Breakfast sandwiches became a quick favorite with the huge housemade biscuits and chicken sausage (the vegetarian just as good!). We loved the housemade granola and thoughtful, plentiful toppings over a house-recipe coconut yogurt. On each visit, we select at least two of their pastries, as well. From shortbread to cake, from scones to cookies, no crumb has been left behind. The flavor combinations are novel and purposeful in their intrigue and taste. Nothing will disappoint; you'll win with every selection, and want more. What I loved: As you can see, everything! We especially enjoy the seasonal beverage optioins - from espresso to matcha, from housemade flavors in steamed milk to robust teas. On a Passing Cloud, a lovely beverage has come to be one I crave and look forward to each time...though often I'm swayed by the new, seasonal offerings. Why I loved it: The baristas are kind and warm, friendly and remember us - even when it's been months since previous visits. The kitchen staff are amazingly talented and it's obvious that they love what they do. They truly have honed their craft and we are the happy recipients. Cost: High

    Eh. Not sure here. The coffee I've had from here is good, but not outstanding. Not sure how they won awards for it. Staff is not exactly friendly. Speak with the baristas, and the front counter/cashier person is likely to be all in your face telling you not to even try to speak to the baristas. Pastry selections are limited. Food hours and availability are super spotty to the point of not even being worth considering. A fail. We'll see how the bags of beans I purchased go over the next few weeks, but right now I am tending towards not returning. Which is too bad because the space itself is beautiful--maybe too beautiful in a way that's infused the staff with snobbery and overly hipster superiority complex attitudes.

    My partner and I lived in the area for a summer and Camber quickly became one of our favorite spots in the area (and I miss those seasonal drinks!!). The staff was super friendly and always incredibly helpful. The food was delicious and we always had leftovers (making tomorrow's breakfast exciting, too)! But the coffee and tea drinks were some of the best I've had in the country. I still dream of their Fall drinks.

    Camber is a lovely cafe in Bellingham. I've been crossing the border from Vancouver to visit some of the cafes here and it never disappoints! I love how beautifully decorated Camber is and there is a lot of seating available. The staff were very nice and also very nice to the dog another customer brought inside. No complaints about the coffee either. Especially with their gorgeous to go cups. It's such a unique and artsy design :)

    I really enjoyed my cranberry crumble latte on a foggy Sunday morning. At $6.50 for 10oz, this drink came with a lovely blend of a delicious cranberry pastry and smooth undertones of coffee. In my years as a Yelper, I've never had anything like it, and I made sure to savor every drop. As someone that scouts out coffee shops with non-traditional drinks, there were also plenty of other seasonal drinks to pique my interest, such as the tea latte and mushroom (!) drink. The inside is roomy, clean, and peaceful, great for working or catching up with friends. They have some pastries and savory menu items as well. Overall, I would recommend this place to both coffee purists and eccentrics alike!

    Is it a good place to take your laptop and study?

Workers are always friendly and happy to talk about cats and are always cleaning and helping facilitate adoptions. Between each 45 minute session, they clean everything-- I've had a friend with mild cat allergy go and not be too affected. I've gone a few times for the long 3 hour sessions and had an absolute blast getting things done (if you sit still, the curious cats will approach you and sit in your lap while you work!) Food is all prepackaged and ordered in bottles in addition to the entry for a 45 minute stay. Place is lovely and well-lit and a great way to get some time with some adorable kitties!

There's also a bar for both alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks. We booked our appointment online, and we had to reschedule it a few times, and they have pretty accommodating for our poor scheduling. I saw a couple walk ins while I was waiting, but there wasn't any slots left at our time, but they were offered an hour later. For around $15 you get 45 mins with the cats. The cats, there were so sweet and peaceful. Seems like they were very accustomed to people petting them. There were a few playful ones. The place is so relaxed and big enough where you can roam and pet different cats and have a space of your own. The Seattle location is tiny compared to this one.

The perfect pairing! Type of cuisine: Espresso and other beverages, a small selection of pastries, including bagels, cinnamon rolls and the like, and access to the entire Daisy Cafe menu. Ambiance: A two-in-one spot, where The Daisy Cafe takes one side, bright and complete with kitchen and bar seating; and The Union Coffee Shop takes up the other side, dark and complete with mega barista station. Both sides offer table-chair set-ups for patrons wishing to dine in. The atmosphere is casual, laid back, clean and very Bellingham - cozy, artsy, quaint and friendly. Despite being downtown, the Coffee Shop feels like a neighborhood spot, where you can walk in and know your barista and the faces seated about. What I ordered: For our children, two 12-ounce caramel sauce steamers, a 12-ounce mocha for me and a 16-ounce matcha latte for my husband. What I loved: The coffee is strong and robust, but smooth and creamy, the chocolate dark and bitter, with a generous topping of sweet whipped cream.
