The Birch Door Cafe Bellingham Reviews from The Last Year
We have eaten here several times before deciding to leave a
We have eaten here several times before deciding to leave a review. The staff are 5 stars, very polite and attentive. Omelets consistently good. Pancakes range from really good to rubbery. The dedication of 2 stars is that many of the items are not well prepared/cooked. Waffle fries often cold and not crisp, side breakfast potatoes are soft and not the greatest flavor and if you are vegan forget about it here. It was recommended by a server that they could make the corn beef hash vegan by subbing vegetables for beef. For $19, it was on order of breakfast potatoes with literally 2 tablespoons of vegetable. Today ordered the BLT, subbing avocado for the bacon and literally got 2 small leaves of lettuce, 3 super thinly sliced pieces of tomatoes and no more than 1/4 of a small avocado. The tomato and avocado was a thin strip across the middle of the sandwich and 1/3 of bread had nothing in it. I keep saying I won't go back but my n other half loves their omelette and pancakes. I just wish they would be more attentive to quality and detail.

In 1946 the incomparable Lady Day record the jazz tune, "Sunny Side of The Street." She sings, "Grab your coat and get your hat. Leave your worry on the doorstep. Just direct your feet. To the sunny side of the street." I couldn't have said it any better Ms. Holiday. Whether you find yourself with feet draggin or a hoppin an a skippin take a chance and step on through the great big birch door at the Birch Door Cafe. Soak in the jazz classics like they're coming from the original vinyl. Transport back in time to your grandparents. Take a seat by the window and soak in the spring rays that WA so greedily clings to. Expect smiles and laughter amongst the patrons and staff on a mellow morning. You won't be sitting for long before your first cup of brown nectar is poured, and don't for get the fresh squeezed OJ. Now you're getting the picture. The eggs Benedict is creamy. The pancakes are larger than expected, and the potatoes are stacked high like the Cascades. If that's not enough though, and you need your ModSocks blown completely off, order the Apple Pancake. It's fluffy, custardy, and sent from the Bellingham ferries astride a corgi directly to your woody table. So fly on in during a weekday and sit by the sun soaked windows. Listen to the local line crew talk about installs and outages, and hear the wait staff joke with one another. Or, best of all, just focus on the one you love and take in the wonderful meal before you begin your morning gear up. Quid Pro Quo though... The weekends are buszzzzzy so expect a 20 to 40 minute wait if you arrive on a Saturday or Sunday at 9-11am. There is no making reservations period... Sometimes when they bring the syrup it's been freshly rinsed off and placed in a small custard cup.(Thx) But, the water gathers at the bottom and if you're not careful the water will drip on your food while you pour your syrup. Breakfast foul! C'est la vie mon amie. That is life my friends. That is life.

Best breakfast in Bellingham with so many good options.
Hard to have a bad thing to say.
A fabulous restaurant with great food and service.
No wonder it has quite the following. Open for breakfast and lunch can't go wrong here. Consistently great food and service!
This place exceeded all my expectations, my wife picked
This place exceeded all my expectations, my wife picked this place out on Easter Sunday after church. We waited about 45 minutes, meanwhile my daughter and I were getting hangry! Well worth the wait. I had the Mexican omelette, their omelettes are on point. They are airy and just super tasty, if I had anything negative to say about the omelette it would be I would appreciate some more protein in the omelette. Their breakfast dishes usually come with their house made pancakes, they do something special to their dough (not box made) that makes these the best short stack in town. Can't wait to take family here once they come to visit, well done Birch Door Cafe staff!
The staff and the food are wonderful.
It's noisy and hard to hear each other, making people talk even louder. The food is out of the world. Recipes of many nationalitys.
We tried this cafe on a trip to Bellingham, WA.
It is very popular, evident by how full the parking lot was. Lots of seating so even though there was a line as we walked in, we were seated promptly. Large menu to choose from! We had the Biscuits and Gravy and the Corned Beef Hash. Both were ample in size. The Biscuits and Gravy tasted great! There was 1 large, homemade biscuit covered in a wonderfully unique gravy. It had sausage and bacon bits in an herbal sauce. The Corned Beef Hash had large chunks of corned beef laying on a bed of smashed potatoes. Both came with 2 eggs but we asked for only 1 each. We each took half of the meal home. The wait staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly. I will be returning here when I come back to Bellingham.
Flavorful breakfast served in a pleasant environment.
Service was good; though, it would have been exceptional if the kitchen was faster in turning out the orders. All-in-all I will be back
We waited for about 40 minutes on a Sunday morning.
It was conveniently located near the main road. The restaurant ambiance was made to look like a cozy home with antiques. It was quaint! Sadly, our meals weren't very memorable. The omelette was good in size but not very tasty. Overall, it was good portions and the service was great! Really can't go wrong with breakfast.
The staff has always been very kind and courteous to me.
They're quick to respond and helpful. The food here is...decent. I've only been here for breakfast and while the portions were plentiful, the taste left a lot to be desired. Everything was bland and uninteresting. For the price I paid for breakfast here (it was a LOT) I would expect much higher quality food.
Outstanding! Finally.
I can come to this area of Bellingham and be able to eat good food. The scramble was so good and was smashing with flavour. I love the huge windows. I'll be back!
last two times the food has been poorly prepared.
last week potatoes were brunt to a crip. Today a simple stack of buttermilk pancakes( which cost $15 ) was just neat on the plated side, but almost black on the reverse and tough. place is always slow and pricey. If the food was properly prepared ,that would be ok last time. BTW said something to server and young girl obviously was not trained on how to handle this situation. if she said anything to a supervisor or not I don't know
Pro tip, go the last hour before closing for a shorter wait.
Everything was fantastic. Would be my go two if I lived closer. Two kids chocolate chip pancake meals and a wonderful Benedict for me.
Love this place, always a slight wait but worth it for me
Love this place, always a slight wait but worth it for me in my opinion. Foods amazing and service was great as well! Worth the visit if you're in the area.
I have been wanting to go here for a really long time.
I hear about it from friends and family and I can gladly say it lives up to the hype. The service was good, the food was yummy and plentiful and the vibe was super cozy and cute.
This is the first Yelp review I've written but I feel that
This is the first Yelp review I've written but I feel that Birch Door is so above and beyond that I needed to add one. I had heard about Birch Door for a while and knew that it was a bit on the spendy side, but we decided to go for a celebration. We couldn't have chosen better! Our server, Grace, was friendly, warm, and informative. I have a strong dislike for black pepper and she brought out a small dish of the country gravy for me to check - it was delicious! I ended up getting the eggs benedict and the hollandaise was also superb. When my wife ordered coffee with 1/2&1/2, the response was "Would heavy cream be ok?" Uhm...YEAH! The potatoes were fantastic - some were crispy and some weren't - so the perfect combo. The apple pancake served to the table next to us looked amazing - we'll have to get it the next time. It was ENORMOUS! 2' tall and encompassed an entire plate! Clearly meant for a whole table to share. The potatoes and the country gravy were both so good, I may just get sides of those on my next visit. Honestly, the menu is so large and inviting it would take many trips to be able to try everything! A great big thumbs up!
After an hour wait had the best breakfast! I thoroughly
After an hour wait had the best breakfast! I thoroughly enjoyed the Blueberry Lemon Cobbler French Toast. My friend got the Country Biscuit that huge and came with eggs which was delicious, but with heavy sauce. Also, she got Viennese coffee that yummy. The prices weren't cheap, but the food and service were excellent. The decor at their Sequim sister location is better.
Fantastic Breakfast
Took my visiting Sister to breakfast on a Sunday morning. She loved it. We all went in hungry, and we were well and truly full by the time we left. The service was excellent. Never had to ask for refills of coffee or water. Very friendly staff couldn't do enough for the customer. Real customer service. I recommend everyone should visit; you won't regret it.
Tasty Takes on American Dishes
The Birch Door in Bellingham is a large restaurant with lots of windows, light and tables. The service is fast and friendly. The lunch menu offers tasty takes on classic American sandwiches, burgers and salads. We went with a friend on a Friday in October for a late lunch. Special note, they serve pumpkin pancakes 🥞 for breakfast during the fall season. Among the meals we ordered were a classic burger on a gluten free bun with fries and a garden scramble with extra mushrooms. The burger was very good and the fries were decent. (We have very standards when it comes to fries.) The scramble was hearty and packed with mushrooms. The coffee was very good and strong. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meals and the airy ambiance. One small caveat, the lunch menu is a bit pricey, hence a 4 out of an otherwise 5.
Excellent brunch choice!
Wonderful choices in the menu, great service, and ambiance. We had a classic scramble and 49er pancakes and both entrees were excellent!
Great breakfast!
This place had a fabulous breakfast! Only thing I would say is come hungry! Portions were very large! My favorite dish was the biscuits and gravy! They were phenomenal. Overall great experience and service was excellent as well. Highly recommended for breakfast!
Our Favorite Cafe to stop for Breakfast or Lunch!
The Birch Door Cafe - Bellingham, Washington. Today Ralph & I went to our favorite restaurant in Bellingham, serving breakfast, brunch & lunch closing at 3 pm. When we arrived a young couple with family moved over so that we could sit down while waiting for our table. We thanked them and struck up a nice, casual conversation. We did not find out until near the end of our talk that they owned the restaurant. They had taken the day off to take some of their close family to lunch, so where else do you go, their own restaurant. Yes, they were the owners but waited like everyone else for a table. For our meal we were seated across from them. The family left before us with a goodbye exchanged. We finished up a bit later and asked for our bill. Our server came back, she told us our meal had been taken care of by the owners. We were so surprised and certainly weren't expecting that. Fortunately we were able to thank them for their kind generousity as they had not yet left the restaurant. I'd like to mention a bit about this family run cafe and not because we were compted our meal but because of the consistent quality, and choice of breakfast/lunch items, the service and friendliness of the staff. If you go in peak times be prepared to wait even with plenty of staff and seating. We will return and recommend you try the Birch Door Cafe! Thank you again for your kindness. It made our day!
An Enjoyable Encounter
This was a solo dining experience. Stepped into the When reviewing the ambiance of a restaurant with a large dining room, many tables, high ceilings, and a well-lit space, you can use the following description: The restaurant's ambiance is characterized by a spacious dining room, abundant tables, high ceilings, and ample lighting that fills the room. The overall atmosphere bears resemblance to a large chain restaurant like Denny's, with a generic and familiar feel. The dining area offers a mix of tables and booths. The tables were packed with patrons enjoying their meals. The clamor of voices made it difficult to hear and engage in conversations, The meal was satisfying and met expectations in terms of quality, but it didn’t possess any exceptional or standout elements. While there were no disappointments, there were also no remarkable highlights that would make it a truly memorable experience.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
