Being on a three-week road trip, we were often faced with American-sized "hearty" breakfasts. Mounds of eggs, toast, mixed meats, etc. While fun in the moment, we later suffered "breakfast regrets." Such cannot be said for Harris Avenue Cafe. Set in the old part of town, surrounded by a truly eclectic array of fascinating shops and works of art, its exterior and interior fit right in. The best way to describe them is "real." Real people serving real people who are eating real food. What I enjoyed most about the cafe was the size of the portions. When they sacrificed in girth compared to traditional American breakfast shops, they more than made up in flavor. While it was a busy Sunday shift, we never felt hurried. We got to eat and converse at our pace. This cafe has it all figured out.
We are from Seattle and have an espresso machine at home with which we make espresso and cappuccinos every morning, and Tony's has long been our coffee of choice. It was therefore fun to visit the home base of the roaster in the Fairhaven District of Bellingham and have a delicious cappuccino made by them. Also bought a pound of beans of their 50th anniversary blend which have since enjoyed at home. We also had breakfast next door at the the Harris Avenue Cafe, which serves huge and delicious breakfasts.
I had a delicious sugar free mocha that was made with Stevia! It is so nice to have alternatives like this when you’re Diabetic! Yes, I would recommend this place!
The most delicious Americano!
Lick your plate delicious. Seriously a must visit. In house pickles that are blue ribbon worthy and asparagus instead of fries. Really who does that. :)
I will definitely be back soon to this place for my breakfast or even a lunch. So great even in times of viral challenges. I sat outside in the sweet garden at my table looking at trees and relaxing under a red umbrella. The breakfast was magnificent and the waitstaff very good.
Great place for coffee and food also!
I was excited to visit Tony's as they are my colleges coffee supplier. The cafe is quite expensive but very cute and the baristas are friendly. There are a few options for food, including soups and meals as well as pastries. The atmosphere is perfect for studying!
Not super quality. Dirty stinky water glasses, in general things seem filthyer than need be.
I often buy beans from here. They are fresher than the ones at my local store, and they have a good decaf that isn't super dark. The cafe itself is a decent place to get a cuppa and have a conversation with a friend or coworker.
