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!

The waffles are absolutely massive but well worth it. I was especially fond of the Main Squeeze waffle as it was tangy and didn't feel super heavy. Whether you're in Bellingham as a visitor or a local, this place is worth a stop.

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.

Wow, this little place does not disappoint! I'm so glad we gave them a try. First the ordering…read moreprocess is very easy and simple. 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!
