I ordered a cake for my son's 12th birthday. His choice of flavor was CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM. Here's the official description on their webpage: "moist chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream, dark chocolate ganache pourover." The cake looked very beautiful, particularly the ganache pourover (see my photo). Yes, the cake was (dense but) moist. It was rich but was not as sweet as it looked. We ordered the petite size, which, according to the webpage, serves 6-8 people. As it was very rich, we got 12 decent-size slices out of it. Given the quality (taste and appearance), I thought $36 was very reasonable. However, I have to say their cake slices are overpriced. A slice costs between $6 and $7. I deducted one star for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, service is pretty slow. We came in here three times, and there was long wait each time. Something that turned me off was that they charged $1 for writing just happy birthday. We are spending over $40 for a small cake and it's for a birthday. I think it would be just a nice gesture if they did it for free. If you need a cake for a special occasion, I think this is probably THE place. They require a 72 hour notice. If you buy a whole cake, the price seems reasonable, too. ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

Pure Bliss Desserts - Strawberry Fresh Berry Shortcake Slice (Summer Feature) - Bakeries Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Okay...this is what I'm talking about when it comes to dessert. The inside is exactly what I'd expect a movie set of a dessert shop to be- a menagerie of shiny trays topped with delicious cakes, cookies, and more, a crazy decorated interior where people are actually sitting to consume just dessert. I ordered a special reveal cake for our oldest kid to see what the baby would be, depending on the color, and they were some of the easiest and most pleasant people to communicate with- I was so impressed and I can tell how hard this family-run business worked on their place, that my daughter and I went back for some cookies. We will make it a special spot to come back to often for mommy/daughter time. Oh, and the cake we ordered was HUGE and incredibly delicious. read more

Time for a review. Pure Bliss has dealt with COVID very well. They take many precautions inside and it is obvious they care about the safety of both their customers and employees. You can pre order whole desserts from their online website or go in and select treats to take out with current state laws, and they work really hard to make it flawless for their customers. Before the pandemic they expanded their store and did a lot of renovation work. It is a really neat space they've created and it has seemingly allowed for more creative work for them. While I used to be familiar with all their treats, they have expanded their menu and brought in more flavors of cake and different types of goodies. read more

Their gluten free and vegan carrot cake is my go-to with an Americano. They also sell alcohol. It gets busy at night and cashiers have to do everything so it can be a wait but overall great to have this gem in Bham read more

I paid $50 for a German chocolate cake that was dried out and hardly had any coconut or pecans in it. We couldn't even recognize that it was a German chocolate cake. In addition to this, all of my company said it hardly tasted chocolatey. This was definitely not worth the money and will not be going back to this business. read more

I've been here twice and both times the line has been out the door, which can only mean this place is delicious! The first time I got a chocolate stout cake and my husband got the key lime cheesecake. The second time I got a salted chocolate caramel cake, and my husband got the key lime cheesecake again, and he got a coconut cake that came with lemon curd. Both chocolate cakes were absolutely divine! The second time we went, the cheesecake had a different and an off texture and the coconut cake was a tiny bit dry. We will definitely be returning & will most likely go strictly for chocolate cakes here on out! read more

Wonderful service. Pure bliss!! Great atmosphere and the best cake ever. Very moist and delicious read more

Best desert in Bellingham. I have tried many deserts here over the years and they were all delicious. Love the fun pink drapes!

Came here on a late Saturday afternoon. It was super hot out and a lot of eateries in Bellingham didn't have their a/c's working or just didn't have an a/c. Pure Bliss was cool as a cucumber though. I asked the cashier if they operated like a donut shop... as in, if I pointed at things I wanted, did they just throw it in a box? She said yes, but the answer is no. You pretty much tell them what you want at the cash register, pay and then they come to you with your order bagged up. It took about 15 min. They have a lot of seating areas though so that was nice. All staff wore masks which was nice to see. They have day old cookies that are half off, however, they tasted as fresh as their freshly baked cookies. I got two everything cookies (day old), salted choc chip, a caramel butter bar slice, chocolate bliss slice of cake, a macaroon slice, and a cookies and cream slice. All of the cakes were super moist and all were just the right sweetness. The Oreo cake slice has really sweet buttercream frosting but that was my kid's choice and he loved it. Would I come back? For sure. read more

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so mine is not the opinion to seek. That said, since I'm not addicted to sugar, I'm not hopelessly attracted to any sweet thing and am (by definition) harder to please -- more of a "dessert snob," if you will. In any case, Pure Bliss in Bellingham and The Prolific Oven in Palo Alto are my west coast "go to" dessert havens. I'm particularly fond of the Lemon Wedges, Russian Tea Cakes (and anything chocolate) at Pure Bliss. If you love dessert, you'll love Pure Bliss. read more

Ummm this place is the yummiest of yummy places. The dessert food is over the top. The service was great and the interior is adorable. I'm looking forward to the German Chocolate cake the next time I go. read more

Oh. My. Goodness. Talk about a perfect name!! Wow! Have been here a few times now and everything has been amazing!! My favorite so far is the chocolate salted caramel cake. I love the atmosphere here, and that they have blackberry wheat beer on tap. PERFECT with anything chocolate! This has now surpassed Mallards as the place we take our out-of-town guests for dessert when showing them around "the city of subdued excitement." Cake slices are big enough to split, but, really, WHY??? would you do that?! read more

It should already be apparent you should visit and give this place a try solely on the bakery recently having to purchase the unit next to them in their building and expanding their space to be double the size it used to be just to accommodate all of their customers. The baked goods are all so delicious, but I LOVE the lemon wedge. The creamy, perfectly lemony top and the buttery shortbread crust... topped with lemon zest. AHHHHH!! So so so so good. If you love lemons, you have to try the lemon wedge. The cupcakes are also just as delicious. The salted caramel cupcake is my favorite. With the buttercream frosting and a drizzle of salted caramel on top of a moist chocolate cake... TO DIE FOR. The GF/V carrot cake cupcake is also a fav of mine, never dry, always tasty. I have to admit, I had 3 bulk orders of the lemon wedges and two different mini cupcakes at my wedding from Pure Bliss and they were a complete hit with everyone locally and from out of town. There wasn't even left overs!! Mini cupcakes are the way to go, by the way, for a wedding or party. The decor of the bakery is cutesy and adorable. It is super clean. The cases are sparkling clean as it should be, and well lit so you can see what you're ordering. The waitstaff are all very professional and offer great customer service. I love coming back to this bakery. I hope they are around for a very long time. read more

Yummmmmmm. So good, gluten free options are delicious, according to gluten free friend. Regular options are amazing

If you crave a place to eat dessert and a cup of joe this is a great spot to visit. Staff makes you feel welcomed and plenty of room to fit big groups. Cheese cake or carrot cake definitely worth the stop. read more

The service is always excellent but today the cake was a little dry. Don't get me wrong, the desserts are always top notch here but on both the cakes we had the sponge itself was a touch on the dry side. read more

absolutely AMAZING! I live in Florida and ordered a cake online...plus several phone calls.. Everything about the carrot cake for my 2 brothers and 89 year old dad as perfect! thank you soooo much read more

My partner and I stopped here for some quick dessert during a visit to Bellingham, and we are thoroughly impressed. The hesitation we got when we saw such a long line worried me maybe a little bit since we were tired after a long drive but much to our surprise it was maybe a minute before the line moved us right to the front where Amy took care of us. Any was very polite, made eye contact, apologized about the line (even though we waited practically no time at all) and got us taken care of in seconds. She brought the food out to us and really ensured we were taken care of. We walked out with our pastries almost dizzy from how fast the service was. The place was also very clean, modern, and welcoming, and our dessert was, to say the least, pure bliss. Thank you guys, and special kudos to Amy, who really knows what it means to take care of the guest. 10/10 read more

If you're in search of a full tilt sugar fix, Pure Bliss is your place. Cakes, cookies, bars, coffee, tea, kombucha..the list goes on and on. They've been our go to for celebration treats since we moved to Bellingham. The staff is friendly and can guide you if you have dietary or cultural food restrictions. It's cheery and cozy inside too if you want to linger over your dessert. Individual cake slices available too. read more

Had very high expectations going in, because of Yelp reviews. But they were exceeded. The best brownie I have ever had. And a decent selection of vegan options for a member of our party with a milk allergy. read more

Ambiance was great. Food and coffee were great and so was the service! They had so many decadent choices!

The first time I walked into pure bliss I couldn't believe how many options they had. The combinations of flavors, and varieties of treats were amazing. The cakes are dense, moist, and flavorful. The cookies are the perfect size, and the cheesecake is unmatched. Need a cake for any special occasion or just a nice way to end a night out, check out pure bliss! read more

What a wonderful gem of a bakery! Everything was so tempting and beautifully presented. They do a great job of providing a safe experience, with social distancing at the counter and a separate waiting area where your order will be delivered. Stopping here after a hike, we shared a PNW traditional Nanaimo bar along with a delish savory bread. read more

I landed here after craving some dessert on a trip to Bellingham with my girlfriend. This was the best dessert I've tasted in my life. First we tried out the raspberry chocolate cheesecake. The creaminess was out of this world. The raspberry top delicately added an explosion of flavor. We came back another day and tried their Mocha chocolate and Strawberry champagne. They do live up to their name. The prices are worth it for those fat slices. Next time you eat out in Bellingham, save room for dessert and hit up this spot. read more

I was on a mission to find baked goodies downtown and found Pure Bliss open for business. When you walk in you are guided to the line of display cases filled with so many delicious items. Take your time pick what you want and go to the counter to place your order. I couldn't decide and kinda got a little of everything. The cardamom snickerdoodle is my new favorite thing of all time. So far everything has been delicious. read more

Great cakes by the slice (or the whole), as well as other sweet options. Four of us split four slices and could have done with two--but ate every bite of four. Everyone had a different favorite, but no piece was a reject. My daughter also really likes their Italian sodas. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an old-time sweet shop or something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. read more

This place is so good. Amazing desserts, wonderful coffee and late-night glass of wine. Their problem is: THEY ARE NOT OPEN LATE ENOUGH. They close at 10 pm and often the place is completely full then, so they lock the door and the continuing stream of late-night dessert-and-coffee-seekers is left out. Before COVID, when the Mount Baker Theatre and other local performing venues were open, Pure Bliss was THE place to go after a show let out. It is annoying when a show lets out at 9:45 and you have to sprint over to Pure Bliss to get in before closing. Please please please, Pure Bliss, extend your opening hours to midnight! read more

Carrot cupcake. $3.30 The best I have ever had. Normally I am a fan of carrot cake. But this one was Very soft, fluffy and light. The frosting was heavenly yummy. It was like in between whipped cream and cheese frost. Coconut macaroon $2.25 was fresh and good. A lot of coconut. Chewy and right mount are of sweetness. Chocolate tort $4.65. Kind of small. Very rich chocolate. Very good one. Nanaimo bar $$4.4. good size. A bit Too sweet for me. It is comprised of chocolate and coconut. read more

Pricey, but always sooooo good. The staff is usually very attentive and kind, and the environment is super cute! I love coming here when I visit Bellingham, and they have a variety of amazing treats, as well as yummy beverages! The best things here are the caramel cloud bar or the chocolate cake/cupcake with salted caramel frosting. read more

Great team working here. All the staff is super pleasant. Place is always very clean. Bake goods are always great.

Came here on a busy Friday night and got a brownie and a slice of coconut cake. While the cake was moist with a delicious buttercream frosting, it wasn't anything special and rather expensive ($6.00 for a slice). The brownie was also good but expensive as well, and like the cake wasn't anything special. They did seem very popular, however, so perhaps I'll try a different pastry if I come back another time. read more

Let's talk treats! I wanted cupcakes but this place is known for their cakes! They had many options for cake but cupcakes were two flavors! I also have been super into speciality cookies, I saw the shortbread with butter cream and picked one! I also love sugar cookies, but that wasn't an option! I started to look around and this place was simple divine! I loved the stove that was a very old store back on the day (photo), the set up was great! They even had to go cakes, write a message on the cake and go, cute ones! If you need to stop on it for that, this is the place! People were getting slices of cake! I did see cheesecake which was pumpkin and original cheesecake! read more

Awesome service and amazing atmosphere. Has a dope color scheme, and a vibe that just makes you want to stay. The cake is probably the best there is in town and for the next 500 Miles. Lots of delicious options and even has cake for those who are gluten, dairy, or nut free. 10/10 read more

Quick dessert stop & wow! Impressive! The store goes way back & to the side on the inside. Plenty of tables, sitting areas, and gorgeous decor. Friendly service. Only got a lemon triangle & a chocolate turtle, a salted ch chip cookie & a Russian tea cookie. We can't wait to try more! Perfection each one. Not too heavy either in the bars- really a cut above. read more

Used to be sooo good. Last few visits cake was very dry. Not special at all, except for the ridiculous price. Too bad.

Best dessert place I came across after a long long time. My husband who does not crave desserts like me has become a huge fan of this place. The place itself is very cute. During the pandemic times, they are only open for takeout but I would definitely want to do a sit down once the pandemic is over. We had their chocolate hazelnut cake, creme brûlée, and citrus almond cake. Chocolate Hazelnut was the best and would highly recommend it. The cake was moist and not too sweet. Citrus almond was a little on the dry side but still soft and tasty. Cannot wait to visit this spot again. read more
