The food was good and so was the service. It is a nice place a little bit on the vegan side for me but still good.

Used to frequent this place for breakfast back during my Bellingham days! They rebranded I think? Food: I want to start off by saying the food is great. 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. But the BLT was not served on focaccia, instead a standard bread. Yet we received no heads up. Again, it was great but why was there no disclaimer? Definitely would not have ordered it had there been transparency because it doesn't feel worth it. Drinks: standard cocktails but really good. Definitely worth a try. Service: they were pretty packed but everyone that tended to us was really sweet. Ambiance: very standard Bellingham small shop vibe. read more

At the Fairhaven location, I was disappointed in the fruit crepe. Considering that it's strawberry season, the scant few berries in my crepe were sad grocery store berries. There were some decent blueberries and the rest of the crepe was all hard pieces of pineapple. I know they can do better and have in the past. The service was great. read more

I went there on Feb 1st. I sat down and two other parties sat down. Both parties received their food prior to mine while I waited for an hour. When asking the server about the matter, she responded "I put their order in first" . When I received my food it was burnt :-/ I had such a bad experience. read more

Got here early for the Bellingham location. Cute but small cafe dining area. Ordered the "croissant French toast" which is really a cinnamon roll in the French Toast style but baked. Came with fresh berries and whip. Ordered sausage and egg on the side with a 16 oz latte. Everything was excellent, a little more "done" than I would have liked but it seemed to work somehow. Will 100% be back. My partner's potatoes were so good I kept stealing them off his plate! Parking in lot across the street or street parking. read more

I ordered the Bakery "Best Benedict" and it lived up to the boast. All breads and pastries are made from scratch and the English muffin was phenomenal. (In most places the muffin is an afterthought.) My cappuccino with breve was expertly made and had that wonderfully sweet taste from the steamed breve, not bitter. The service was polite and knowledgeable of their menu, naturally boastful of their made from scratch offerings. The pastries are phenomenal! Check out the morning bun pic...more than half eaten, yes, but now you can see the delicious orange bits on the inside that cause the burst of smooth citrus flavor. Excellent paired with my coffee! The ambiance is chill and divey. All are welcome. I will be back to this place. read more

I had the cinnamon roll. The dough quality was quite good and there was some caramelized sugar on the bottom which I like. I could not find any evidence that cinnamon was actually used in making this pastry. The icing overwhelmed the flavor so much that it should more aptly be called a vanilla roll. read more

Super cute place! College daughter had the regular eggs Benedict and I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict. To die for! So good. Staff was super friendly and we loved the artwork inside. Afterwards we walked around the Fairhaven historic district of Bellingham, and went into a couple shops. Great afternoon. read more

This review is for the Orange Hazelnut Twist ($4) I picked up from their farmers market booth at the Ballard Farmers market on Sundays! Didn't get the orange at all and there was only a light sprinkling of nuts but overall it was a nice, flaky pastry at a good price. Maybe better toasted? Anyways - they also had other items like scones and cookies and such. read more

Great place to have a nice breakfast on a Friday morning! First off, I appreciate that they still ask for proof of vaccination! Way to play it safe! Now that's out of the way, I'm a big Eggs Benedict person so I have to try that first! So I ordered that over some savory waffles, a first for me! I've had a lot of bennys in my life but this is a unique way to present your dish. Every company was delicious. From the ham and the perfectly poached eggs. It all worked well for me. My only constructive criticism would be the homemade Hollandaise sauce. It was screaming for some lemon juice. But the consistency is correct. You already won me over with the fact that it's homemade! I will definitely come back here on my next visit! read more

Came in to do some reading with my husband on our little getaway and opted to share a ham & gouda croissant with a fruit galette, which were very good. The pastry case in the front definitely called our name and although the menu items looked good, the pastry items were too good to pass up. Decent coffee and wonderful service! I ordered a simple drip and our waiter was joyfully refilling my cup. My husband ordered the Moliere - their famous Mount Bakery mocha made with Belgian Chocolate Ganache and topped with whipped cream. I was expected a more decadent drink, but it was more of the dark chocolate flavoring and not very sweet. It was well made, but not quite what I anticipated. The cafe is making great efforts to stay safe with checking vaccination cards for guests dining inside and covered eating for folks preferring to eat outside. read more

We came in this past Sunday for some brunch to their downtown location. We were able to get a seat right away as there was a lot of snow outside. The waitresses that served us were delightful-they had great recommendations. We started off with some coffee and a seasonal cocktail, the Misanthrope. While we waited, I enjoyed looking at their fabulous art! I ordered the Blackstone Benny-applewood bacon, spinach, and black pepper upon some freshly made focaccia, complete with roasted potatoes. Their eggs are perfect, the hollandaise was light, and the focaccia was freshly made. This was mouthwateringly good and the perfect portion size-I was able to finish my plate without feeling too full. They have plenty of wonderful pastries and goods to go as well! Mt. Bakery Cafe has been a Bellingham favorite for breakfast and brunch. It is a must do and see for anyone who wants to enjoy a Bellingham classic. We can't wait to come back for more. read more

This place was yummy!! A little pricy, but yum! The staff is super nice and helpful. I wish I had gotten the BLAT on sourdough. After trying my husbands, it definitely would've complemented it better, but I still can't complain, it was great! My husband also loved his breakfast sandwich, the sausage was a high quality. The chai White Russian was nice and strong as well. read more

Hands down the worst breakfast in Bellingham. Ordered an espresso it came and was 6oz? Tasted like dog water. The food looks and tastes very amateur. Potatoes were somehow burnt, undercooked and under seasoned all at the same time. Tomato slices were as thick as a flip flop. Just a really gnarly overpriced joint. Would not recommend. read more

Definitely your "hole- in- the- wall" kind of restaurant. Staff is super nice. We did wait quite a bit (about 45 minutes) for our order to finally come to our table but I was in no rush. I ordered their breakfast sandwich with Apple wood bacon on wheat bread and my S.O. ordered the same thing but with sausage and on sour dough bread. It was good but my only complaint is that the bread was a tad bit too crunch and scratched my gums up. I'll definitely stop by again to try their "sweet" breakfast menu. read more

exceptionally poor service. We called ahead to inquire about seating our party of 9 and when we got there we were placed on the waitlist which was about 30 minutes. However, after returning 45 minutes later we were informed that other parties had been seated ahead of us and that it would be another 30 minutes before we could be seated. Staff seemed more annoyed that we wanted to eat there than apologetic. Shame because the food is supposed to be excellent. read more

Very much enjoyed my breakfast here on a quick shopping trip to Bellingham this weekend! My family of four arrived around 8:10 and it was quiet so we were seated right away and ordered right away with so many delicious options to choose from. We ended up with one of their eggs benedict on a waffle with ham. This was scrumptious with plenty of hollandaise on a perfectly sweet and fluffy waffle base. The eggs were gooey in the centre and this all came with potatoes too! In addition we got two of their savoury crepes being the traditional breakfast which was stuffed with cheese, eggs and sausages well as their sausage crepe. Both came in large portions with a choice of side and being a veggie lover, I opted for a salad with one of them and it was pretty good! Lastly my eyes were caught by a cold turkey and gouda sandwich with cranberry relish. Even though it was 8am, my love for sandwiches persists and I was really happy I gave in. This had a nice mound of turkey slices on a soft and chewy honey wheat bread with greens, gouda, red onions and of course, the cranberry relish. The flavours blended perfectly together and it was healthy yet delicious. It was so big I only ate half too! I also grabbed a fruit cup to make it a "breakfast" and this was a bit expensive for what came to the table. A small bowl of cut up pineapple, strawberries and apples. Good but not worth the $4.50. Overall, a great choice for breakfast in Bellingham with really friendly and efficient service, tasty lunch AND breakfast choices and a lovely, homey environment. A huge plus is that we grabbed some pastries to go and they are DELICIOUS!! read more

I've dined here a couple times, the food is fine enough. However the service is not great. The first time was initially great with one high energy and outgoing man, but then I guess he left for the day and a young gal took over. She didn't check on us very much. It also took a really long time to get a little side of toast for a hungry toddler. The second time it was also very slow. When we left we said bye and thank you, but she didn't even look at us or notice we were leaving. I would not go here again to dine. I would go just to pick up some pastry that is ready in the front. read more

A wonderful place for breakfast/brunch. Locally sourced and hand made - and it tastes fresh and delicious. I appreciated that it took a bit of time for food to arrive to the table. It really shows that the food is lovingly and individually prepared. The space is open and slightly modern with beautiful artwork. We bought a few pastries to take home with to try the next day. We ordered the Blackstone Bennie- it was served on a savory waffle which may have been a bit soggy- but still tasted great and it caught all the sauce. We also tried the bacon/mushroom quiche with a fresh salad. The quiche was really amazing. Full of meat and flavor with a perfect crust. read more

A bit loud inside, but cozy and the staff were very friendly. Quick to be seated, especially on a Sunday morning a bit late when other places around had wait-lists. We had their black coffee (pretty good for drip at a restaurant), and a latte (nothing special, just ok). For food we had the vegetable crepe (really good--included cauliflower and zucchini and it wasn't greasy) and the wild salmon benedict on a english muffin (muffin was thick! salmon was great, eggs and hollandaise were nothing to get excited over, and needed seasoning). We were divided on the potatoes both dishes came with: I liked them, but my partner did not; they were pretty standard diced potatoes grilled with some kind of light seasoning on them. Maybe nostalgia made them taste better to me :) We also had the Kouign-Amann pastry (warmed per staff suggestion) and it was quite good. If you want a quick breakfast at a sit-down joint and have tried some of the other places near-by already, this is a reasonable option. read more

The service is fine. The ambiance is awkward. The food...it wasn't worth the price and quite bland. Very limited on the hollandaise sauce. And to ask for more is $3. The waffle was bland too.. this was the first time I had to put salt pepper and ketchup to taste anything. you can get a better breakfast somewhere else for a lot less. But the waffle Benny was the reason I came in the first place. Probably won't come back. read more

The day was heating up and because I didn't have supper last night, I needed some breakfast. Thinking of The Mount Bakery as many years ago I part of a video production team for the Comcast Cable On-Demand service that featured the young German baker. Searching the internet for hours and location yielded interesting results. [Mt. Bakery] returned no restaurants at all. I wondered if my trusty search engine of choice AOL had finally failed me. I attempted my query in the more modern YaHoo! with equal results. After several minutes of confusion I typed [Mount Bakery] into the computer and my LED screen glowed with delight as the web search was successful. The information revealed they were serving full breakfast at their Fairhaven location. I looked forward to driving near the water to this stylish town center just outside of my hometown. Walking in the decor reminded of a German breakfast place from my past where by myself I thought fondly of a dark haired woman and our encounter the evening before. The waitperson greeted me with friendly eyes behind her pandemic protecting mask. My drink of choice was earl grey iced tea with SanPellegrigno Limonata to "spike" it with. This refreshment would be the highlight of the meal. Ordered the most famous crepe in the world, Crepes Suzette. One scrambled egg and a sausage. I first went for the single side egg I ordered while delicious, was from a small chicken. Should have ordered 2. Next up was the crepe. Prepared wonderfully with a nice crunch to edges. Unfortunately way too sweet for me. I attempted to dull it with the supplied dollops of whipped cream. Their galant attempt was in vein as the cane field of sugar could not be defeated. Took a stab at the sausage link. As I bit in there was a satisfying resistance then a wonderful snap in mouth as it gave way to my bite. Spicy? Sweet? Not really. Sort of an unexpected blandness fit for a rest home type taste. It was ok but not really what I look for in a side sausage. I do believe the Crepe Suzette was prepared accurately but I believe I should have gone for the Crepe with apple pear and brie. Don't worry Mount Bakery. I will be back. Will bring a friend. read more

Sadly, the original eggs benedict was bland but beautifully plated. I wondered about this all the drive home. Hollandaise sauce is normally lemony pulling the eggs benedict together, but this sauce was plain and forgettable. The potatoes were also bland. Paprika looking seasoning didn't add anything to the dish beyond color. I am so disappointed. The eggs were perfectly cooked with slightly runny yolks. The London Fog (tea latte) was terrible. Husband's monte cristo crepe was good but had boysenberry preserves inside that he didn't care for. I liked the boysenberry preserves but would ask for it on the side next time as I think there was too much of it added. Service was excellent. read more

My friend recommended we try this place for their famous benedict's. It's right in Fairhaven so it's cute and accesible if you're walking around that area. The wait for 7 people was accurate and we got sat right away, very accommodating to littles. Their drip coffee is very good! Surprise - I had to try the classic egg benedict on focaccia. You have the option of a waffle but my friends wouldn't recommend it on a waffle. It was so good but I think it was missing salt or spice on the hollandaise(?). Couldn't pinpoint it but some tabasco helped give it more flavor. It comes with potatoes which were really good. Overall good filling breakfast! My friend ordered the french toast and loved it! read more

Honestly the food is not all that great and neither was the service. The eggs were served hard poached which is really odd for a place that serves several versions of eggs benedict. Once our food was served we didn't see our server again for 25 minutes and only then did they offer to refill our coffee. It was very slow and we were one of three tables. The pastries looked amazing, but that's the only positive. May it was an off day but we won't be back. $45 was way too much for this experience. read more

didn't seem busy but somehow we sat for close to 45 minutes before we got our food. servers were kind but didn't pay us much mind. my friends meal had both undercooked eggs and undercooked bacon. she picked around both and thankfully was able to eat something, (little bit of her toast) but the server only discounted it by 50%. i believe a meal with two undercooked components should not on our bill at all. my other friends coffee was extremely sweet, way way too much syrup. it was hardly drinkable. safe to say we will not be returning. important to note, all of us have worked in the service industry so we have empathy/understanding for the employees. we acknowledge some days are just bad days, but the multitude of issues was just too much, so here we are. read more

My wife and I were in town and stopped here for brunch. We were seated quickly and asked to provide vaccine status. That was fine and made us feel safer than a lot of places that are acting as if the pandemic no longer exists. The staff were also incredibly kind, and the service was five stars. My wife and I are both trans, my wife visibly so. Having staff be so kind and not act like anything is out of the ordinary with us is something we look for in a restaurant. It's not always something we find. My wife ordered the mushroom hash special, and I ordered the Monte Cristo Crepe with potatoes. The food was not quick, which was fine. We were not in a hurry. The food itself was okay. It was not great, and it was not bad. I am not sure I'd come back for the food, as it just wasn't memorable. My wife and I had to resort to texting to talk. We had been seated inside, and I think that might have been a mistake on our part. It was loud inside. It wasn't even packed, but the way the restaurant was arranged, it's just a loud space. My wife has a slight hearing deficit, and could not hear at all, so it was impossible to talk to her. The tables inside were small coffee shop tables. So we balanced the giant wine bottle of water between us, with our plates, the glasses, and all the other items on the table. It felt a bit crowded. The bathroom was a delightful, and super clean, unisex bathroom. In fact, I can't remember being in a restaurant with a bathroom this clean and well kept. In all, it was a nice experience. I wish the food was more of a standout. I don't know if I would go back, but I certainly wouldn't resist the idea if it came up. read more

If you ever come here, do try their cinnamon rolls! It's not your conventional cinnamon buns, it has croissant aspects to it - it's flakey, warm, fluffy, and SO DELICIOUS! We got the Original Eggs Benedict, the Fruit Crepe, and a Classic Breakfast. The Original Eggs Benedict was awesome as it was served on a waffle rather than the usual english muffins, and the hollandise sauce went perfectly well with this waffle. The Fruit Crepe was generously loaded with an assortment of fruits, but I just think that crepe itself could be a little more thin (the batter was very thick). The Classic Breakfast had all the basics in it, and I must say, I really enjoyed the sausage that was included. :) I think that this is a hidden gem within downtown Bellingham, and definitely think it's worth a stop for their cinnamon rolls (just remember to ask them to heat it up)! read more
