    I tried Makeworth coffee at a one year anniversary of a cake shop in Wallingford and a cafe in the University District, both in Seattle. I made a mental note to visit their site in Bellingham. I finally had the opportunity to try Makeworth Coffee Roasters and has now become my coffee destination up north (3/29/25). Decent paid street parking availability. The cafe itself is really amazing with the two level layout, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. Various seating arrangements that was not crammed together and allowed for comfortable convo, reading, or for the laptop crowd. The front counter had visible posted menus, a pastry case, and various coffee roasts to choose from. The layout allowed for efficient customer flow for ordering, pickup, and takeout. Welcoming barista staff - no hipster attitude. There's also other merch available for purchase. Overhead music and interior aesthetic added to the pleasant environment. Enjoyed my mocha, thankful for the clean restroom before hitting the road, and look forward to trying the purchased roast for brewing at home. Definitely recommended!

    Spacious coffee shop with wonderful natural lighting. Sadly the coffee was mediocre. Brown sugar vanilla latte iced ($6.25) - heavy handed on the brown sugar vanilla so the coffee flavor was lost.

    This coffee shop has a great open concept, with seating all on the main floor and a wrap around indoor balcony second floor there is plenty of room to study and stay a while. The coffee itself had a great flavor combination and the pastries were buttery and so delectable. You can easily order online to skip the line but if you have any questions the baristas or more then willing to help you. The food itself is a little expensive but definitely worth it.

    It's the most amazing coffee shop in this area! My drink is delicious-fresh pastries and a wonderful atmosphere! There is so much seating on the lower and upper floors, too! Service was friendly and SUPER fast even with a long line. This will be my go-to hangout, coffee/ pastry place in Bellingham from now on :-)

    So much light!

    Makeworth is the first coffee place I hit up when I first visited Bellingham. For some reason it was open late that night and it was all lit up and super attractive. I had come to the area to get some food from a nearby restaurant and realized I needed a little late coffee break. I was impressed mostly by the space. Lots of places to get work done or just hang out with a few people and have a nice cup of coffee. The coffee itself is good. I have for some reason lost my love of coffee but this one still hits the spot real nice. My current go to is just a basic cap, and they have done it right every time I go in during a visit. The level of craft here is pretty darn good. Good milk, not too hot or too cold, but Goldilocks kind of milk. I also really enjoy getting their London Fog on occasion. Service is pretty efficient and thankfully there is lots of space for people who are waiting in line and waiting for their coffees to be made. It never feels like it's too cramped in here. I will be back when I visit my daughter for sure.

    Great coffee - definitely recommend their Chai coffee! Burritos are delicious and goes great with their avocado toast! This place reminds me of home. Safe spaces, created to welcome one and all! It's the coffee, food, and vibe that gives this amazing place credibility. Inclusivity is a tough value to capture in any place - but Woods Coffee truly does match this word. I love the way we are greeted, serviced, and known here. Biggest shoutout to whoever roasts the coffee here :)

    Makesworth is super cute and the ambiance and interior of this place is just perfect. I always try to find cute coffee shops in different cities and we always stop here on the way up to Vancouver. If you're in Bellingham, definitely stop by this place! They have good coffee, food and also beer if you're a beer person! The food is okay but I would mainly go for coffee!

    Great variety of coffee beans you can take home to brew!

    I didn't even have this coffee shop on my list while on a recent trip to Bellingham but it looked super enticing as Steve and I strolled by in downtown trying to get someplace else. We ducked in and got some cool beverages to drink and I needed to buy a bag of coffee for home and one for work. I ordered a iced Chai which.was super good! Very refreshing and a nice spicy kick to it. Atmosphere was very cool with a bright, sunny look thanks to the large windows at the front and a sleek design inside. We enjoyed our beverages upstairs which was a lot of fun. I tried the bag of coffee beans at work. They had kind of a key lime flavor along with other fruits and it was super delicious! So very glad I got to try a new coffee shop and get some of their roasted coffee to last a bit longer at home and work!

    Dopest coffee joint I've visited in the PNW. Neat aesthetic, tasty coffee, and tasty pastry! Well branded, clean and good vibes.

    For a coffee shop this is a beautiful place. The staff is friendly, the place is really clean, and it is big enough to know you'll always get a spot to sit. Their handcrafted coffees are amazing. And I don't know where they get their scones from, but I bet it's from Avenue bread - unless they make it themselves... You do have to bust your own tables, but they have real silverware and reusable straws if you want them. Perfect place for Bellingham and a perfect place to sit and get lost with a good cup of coffee.

    Makeworth is awesome!! Came through to get some work done and this might be one of the best places I've ever stopped in at. There is an incredible amount of seating from big tables for groups, to small two person tables and much more. The music is mellow and it's not super loud. It's also quite spaced out which is nice compared to shops that cram the tables in. The coffee and menu is very affordable which I appreciate and the barista was very friendly. I had their regular drip which was delicious! Overall would absolutely come back and it looks like they have taps for beer in the evening!

    I usually have a soy latte, but Makeworth Market just convinced me the best latte is with oat milk. Best latte I've had in awhile!

    How I heard of this place: On a visit to Bellingham a couple of years ago, my sister and mother…read moretold us about this new Turkish cafe downtown with sweet reminiscences of our visits to Turkey. We simply had to give it a try. And continue coming back. Type of cuisine: Turkish fare - from simit and borek, to cardamom or pistachio infused Turkish coffee, apricot and apple teas, baklava and lokum. We have always loved the foods, mostly imported directly from Turkey. Ambiance: Sweet and cozy, the space is full of beautiful Turkish art/craft - from lighting to seating, from merchandise to the tasty treats served, we love our bay window benches and small, tiled tables that barely hold everything we order. The brother-owners are always wreathed in smiles and humble, grateful service. The music is soft, but always a surprise - sometimes Turkish, sometimes rock, sometimes jazzy, always fun and unobtrusive. We also love the huge barrel "tables" used as outdoor seating under a covered "patio". What I ordered: I was sad to hear that they no longer make/serve their refreshing and lovely apricot tea, so I chose a sweet cardamom coffee. My sister each chose a turkish coffee and pistachio coffee. A hot chocolate for my husband and two apple teas for the children. We ordered one of each selection of baklava available - pistachio, walnut, chocolate pistachio, halva and another walnut treat. Not to mention peach and blackberry lokum. We also ordered a potato & cheese sandwich; they ran out of the bread so substituted potato borek topped with cheese for our savory snack. What I loved: Always the service; quiet, humble, spot on. The coffee is truly magnificent and fully takes you back to Turkey. The baklava is sweet and soaked in honey, just like the cafes in Istanbul, and the beautiful lighting mesmerizes each of us every time. Why I loved it: It's always a little escape entering the doors of Ashuri, and like a mini vacation in a home away from home. Cost: Average

Workers are always friendly and happy to talk about cats and are always cleaning and helping facilitate adoptions.

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.
