I love the atmosphere and history behind this place. It’s a diner, grocery and convenience store. The food was pretty good but overpriced for what you get. The experience comes with the history of the building, being on of the oldest buildings in Bellingham and still used as a general/convenience store to this day.

Great place to find animals and well cooked eggs. I’ve never had a Man ask if my bones were hollow, still hasn’t occurred, I’m not against it but it might make me consider his intentions. That’s the kind of service that Nelson’s has. Good and Medium hot. Since 1517. Like reformation era vibes in there. Super sweet.Parking: 2 spots right up front. They are some old con operated meters that don’t work. Pretty sure they were in cool hand Luke, not actually in the movie but we’re back ups incase paul messed up a take or something. Idk could be made up, heard some birds discussing it when I interrupted their meeting, they weren’t to pleased. Tweet!Kid-friendliness: They love kids, almost too much.Wheelchair accessibility: I don’t know what wheel chairs are but they could probably work

My first visit to Nelson's Market for breakfast was a great start to my day. The market itself and the historic building it calls home is in itself worth the visit. Nostalgic, charming, and they have everything you need. The dining area is just big enough and feels like a small town dining spot. They even have counter seating. Service was friendly and fast, the food was delicious, and we can't wait to go back. We tried the huevos rancheros and the eggs benedict. I love a good homemade hollendaise sauce. Next time I plan to try the French toast and real maple syrup. On our way out, the owner popped outside to introduce himself. Ben has lived around the corner for years and is the new owner within the last year. His friendliness and eagerness to connect cement the small town market vibe that I loved when I walked in. We look forward to becoming regulars!
I went to Nelson's and had some of the most bangin' biscuits and gravy I have ever tasted! Wowwee! Absolutely delicious meaty, thick gravy, served with perfectly cooked eggs and large chunked fried potatoes, which melted in my mouth. I ate it real quick. ?

Best home made corn beef hash I have had in years. Service was great and friendly. Owner took the time to introduce himself and visit. Historic ambiance reminded me of simpler times, slower pace and real diner food. Definitely will go back for more.Parking: Neighborhood location with some off streets parking

I searched online for breakfast spots in Bellingham. This cafe was the first on a list that I found online. We drove a little over an hour to check it out and weren’t disappointed. The omelette and country fried steak were all excellent. The sausage gravy in particular was on point. The sourdough toast was really good. Great service too. The atmosphere felt like experiencing Americana from a bygone time.

The Fry's were overcooked and bad flavor. Also I ordered a chicken sandwich with cheese. I got three overcooked dry chicken strips with cheese barely on it inside a bun with no lettuce like the menu said. So quality of food not good for price.
Great place for brunch, outstanding service and a creative menu sourced form healthy and fresh foods. The market is also a great place to pick up just about anything you may need when having guests over.

Came for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 9:30, we were greeted immediately and the hostess let us sit where we wanted. Our waitress was really sweet and made sure to check on us often. We got the eggs Benedict and the breakfast style country fried steak. We are from out of town and wanted to have a tasty and hearty meal before driving back to Seattle for the day. Let me tell you that this diner will be the closest thing you’ll ever get to eating great home cooked food while you are traveling. The service was amazing and the conversation was lovely. The market offered regular convenience store items and had cute old-fashion decor. They have booth, table and outdoor seating. Can’t wait to come back!
