Vermicelli bowls and all options for Banh Mis are a fave for our crew, and their milk teas are TO DIE for. Also a shoutout to the Thai Iced Tea, which is delish.

“Went here for my birthday with the family and it didn’t disappoint. We tried the Saganaki (fried cheese flamed at our table) for appetizer. And we decided to go with the Greek Platter for 2. This was a 3 course meal that was more than enough for me and wife and needed a box to bring home leftovers. The first course was one spanakopita and one tiropita. Both were tasty. Followed up with 2 small Greek salads paired with the house dressing that brought a nice balance and didn’t over power the salad. The main course was a HUGE platter of two dolmades, moussaka, Greek ribs and rice pilaf. These dolmades were delicious, the moussaka was seasoned, tasted amazing and held up well. And the Greek ribs was a first try for me. The meat was covered with a dry rub that is beyond flavorful and the meat was so tender. This was all served over rice pilaf that was moist Ended with night with a Greek special dessert. Coming to this restaurant for the first time we were well pleased. Will be back again for sure. Our waitress was attentive and helped us understand the menu. If you are looking for a place that puts love into their cooking. Look no further than Five Columns.”

This town is up the line of the Washington Bay; I assume it was made by a glacier melting as it was pushed in. In the Spring now there is more melting water current in the unfrozen air. This shop is a really nice place to get food and drinks that provide and charge. It's also got really classy honey drinks that could help pilots and sailors. The name is initiative in weather.”

Holly's Meat Pies 4073 Hannegan Rd suite j, Bellingham American • $

“I know this is a shameless plug, but I just finished eating a beef meat pie from Holly's, and I have to write this: I just found Holly's Meat Pies and had my first pie from them. I can't say enough about how delicious my pasty was!!!! Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 The crust is absolute perfection – not too dry, not oily. Perfectly cooked. The pie stayed hot even though I drove home. Wow! I got the beef, and the filling was perfect. The balance of the spices, herbs, the quality of the meat, the vegetables and the onion was superior and absolutely perfectly balanced. This lady has skills!! The taste is wonderful. Holly gave me samples of Ty's Barbecue Sauce and Pasty Sauce !!! Yummmmm! I tested the barbecue sauce because I couldn't resist – I'll be back for at least one bottle and it won't last long. And the pasty sauce was fantastic. I'm buying a bottle. I had never heard of putting any kind of sauce on my pasty, but I'll put this on it! The thing about the pasty is it's so good without the sauce, but it's great with the sauce, too. I alternated bites lol. 😆 Since the pasty is neither dry nor greasy, it stands on its own so perfectly that I couldn't imagine putting the sauce on it – until I tried! It kicks the flavor up a notch. I bought a frozen Chicken pie for later, and I "liberated" several menus - this is going to become a habit!!!! Can't wait to try the Vegan pie (🥧 mushrooms!!), and the lamb pie and the entire menu! Feels like I found a culinary goldmine that's right up my alley. I feel so lucky that this is in Bellingham, and that I don't live too far from it because I will be a frequent visitor. And they are so friendly- great, wholesome, quick, affordable food!! What's not to love?! 💕 I also want to say hello to Holly and to Andrea who I met today and who were so friendly & knowledgeable. Smart women getting it done!! ✅ They answered every question I had. If you haven't tried this place, you've got to go and try it. This is the ultimate easy portable health food! Great with soup 🥣, salad 🥗 and Bordeaux!! My belly is happy 😊! What a therapeutic experience!!”

Pho 99 3503 Byron Ave, Bellingham Vietnamese • $

“The restaurant, service, and food were amazing, best I've had in years.
My only issue was the other customers who came in as a large group with several shrieking children, multiple of whom were playing games or videos on tablets so loudly when they weren't yelling about how hungry and impatient they were that it ruined the vibe in the whole place.
It should be more acceptable to ask patrons like that to leave for the sake of the other guests.”

Cafe Blue 1319 11th St, Bellingham Coffee Shops • $

“One of my Bham go-to spots. It’s super cute and cozy, and the staff are lovely, especially Micah the owner. Colorful and fun decor, eclectic interior, and branding to match. Locally roasted coffee, pastries made in-house, adorable ceramics for your “to have here” food and bev. The coffee is more on the acidic side if that’s your jam. If Bellingham would allow small retail zoning in residential areas then this would be your local neighborhood spot, and Micah does a great job at making you feel welcomed. Almost always super busy and indoor seating is definitely coveted (though there’s covered outdoor spots). It’s a great place to sit and work but because it’s so tiny, be mindful of how much time you’re spending on your laptop - support small businesses by allowing them to have seating turnover! Got multiple punchcards worth of free coffee to save for a special rainy day, thanks Cafe Blue for offering up all the good vibes.”

Bellingham Cider Company 205 Prospect St STE A-105, Bellingham Brewpubs • $$

“Stopped by for dinner after the FIG's Free Friday with 'wooden trains'. Had the flight of ciders and especially liked the Cranberry as well as the Raspberry & Rhubab. The 'Dry' cider is a great palate cleanser to appreciate the subtle flavors of the rest. The pork chop was moist and paired well with the cabbage and spaetzle - and the cider, of course. My wife liked the IPA and the clam chowder. The kohlrabi salad was okay - a bit too much rocket and a bit spare on kohlrabi. The vegan burger is actually an 'impossible burger' - which isn't the same thing and doesn't appeal (it was out anyway.) Looking forward to returning to try the Angus burger next time.”

Sweet As Waffles 122 E Magnolia St, Bellingham Food Trucks • $

“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. They're so good you gobble it down while at the same time savoring the crispness of the waffle, the just-right topping amount and how everything works together for the perfect bite! The Canadian Quesadilla and the pumpkin syrup build-your-own....shut. up. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Nate is the best host, too. Stop by.. You'll be very glad you did. Then tell 20 friends.”

Big Stick Barbecue 709 W Orchard Dr, Bellingham Barbecue • $

“Their food is delicious. They have some traditional bbq items that are a staple for all bbq joints, but also have some unique sandwiches. Their buns are to-die-for, baked with rosemary. I could eat them all day. We brought a large group of about 20 for my husbands 30th birthday. No one had ever been. Everyone left happy. Thank you Big Stick BBQ!”

“As someone from New Mexico, I was blown away by Dora's food. The flavors took me straight back to my roots—every bite reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. I almost felt like dancing with every bite! The care and authenticity in each dish is something you just don’t find everywhere. If you're anywhere near Bellingham, don’t miss out—this is hands down the best food I’ve tasted since leaving home. Highly recommended! 🌟”
