My wife and I have recently started going here for all the little sweet treats they have and we have never been disappointed. Whenever we walk in we are always greeted with friendly smiles and great customer service. The cake turned out absolutely perfect and the decorator did an amazing job. Usually when a cake looks this beautiful it doesn't taste that great, but this was not the case! The cake was both visually pleasing and also very delicious. My one criticism I have would be the email communication. When I first ordered the cake via their website I received an email back that made me feel like I was inconveniencing them, and most emails after I got the same vibe. In the end everything worked out and my wife was head over heels for the cake which was the most important thing. I will definitely still be recommending this bakery to anyone who wants a delicious and professionally decorated cake for any occasion, or to anyone looking for a nice dessert.

This following paragraph does not change that. I am pretty disappointed when I ordered the BLT advertised as served on house made Focaccia. And honestly the combo makes the $21 price tag worth it.

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.

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.

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

I've been a repeat customer here for the past three years! My friends and I have ordered a handful of birthday cakes from them, and they never disappoint. We also order slices a lot when the mood strikes. Again, always super high quality cakes--the only chocolate cake I like! Yesterday, my friend's car broke down in the parking lot right next to the shop, and one of their workers literally walked to her car to drive it over and help jump ours. Totally made our night more manageable! Only place I'll be ordering my cakes from! read more

We used Pure Bliss for the desserts for my son and his fiancés rehearsal dinner las weekend. Everything was wonderful! From the presentation on the dessert table to the last bite of frosted shortbread cookie, every morsel was delicious. We had triple chocolate cake at my son's request, and it was decadent. The cookies, Creamy lemon bars, and Nanaimo bars were all a huge hit! So a big "thank you" to Meg and all at Pure Bliss for helping us make the rehearsal dinner a very sweet treat indeed!

I love the idea of going in and treating myself to a slice of cake on occasion. However, the cakes are too dense and heavy and the flavors fall flat. You get a good size slice of cake, but the prices are a bit high. And, again, you end up with this heavy, dense cake (and not in a good way). read more

Unfortunately, the visit was extremely disappointing. We spent approximately $40 on baked goods, including what we were told were stroopwafels. The cookies we received had no caramel filling and were extremely stale--so dry, brittle, and unpleasant that we could not eat them. There was also no freshness or expiration date on the package. The other products we purchased were disappointing enough that we ultimately threw everything away. The employee behind the counter was not knowledgeable about the products and could not make us a fresh stroopwafel. We also found very little of the Dutch selection or experience we had made the long drive expecting. I tried calling the bakery for two days, but I could not reach anyone because their telephone was apparently malfunctioning. By the time I finally reached the store, I had already discarded the inedible products. I was then told that they would not provide a refund because they have a strict 24-hour return policy. That policy seems especially unreasonable for stale, undated food--particularly when the store could not be reached by telephone during that period. I was not asking for anything excessive; I simply wanted the bakery to stand behind approximately $40 worth of food that was stale and inedible when it was sold to us. A sincere apology and reasonable effort to resolve the problem would have made a significant difference. Instead, the response felt dismissive and left us regretting both the purchase and the long drive. Based on the poor product quality, lack of freshness dating, limited product knowledge, inability to reach the business, and refusal to offer a reasonable resolution, I cannot recommend the Dutch Bakery in Lynden.
