Very friendly people and tasty food.
Nice breakfast spot in Bellingham
Sat down for 20 minutes….then four tables got seated and served before me, forcing me to walk up to the desk to order. idk what that’s about…
It's a little unfair for a finicky vegetarian to leave a food review, but they still get 4 ⭐ on that. Tara works there, and she's a boss gal, and the workers are always 5 ⭐. This was originally Tony's Coffee House and the vibe abides.5 ⭐.
Harris Ave Cafe holds 2nd place for our family among all the breakfast restaurants in Bellingham/Fairhaven. (First is Mount Bakery Fairhaven, but this cafe is a super-close second.) I had an amazing Polenta Rancheros and husband/son loved their Breakfast Chimichangas. I ordered a cornmeal buttermilk pancake, and even though it wasn't fork-pull-tender (haven't found that quality anywhere in Bham) it was fluffier than anywhere else around, and richly flavorful too - didn't even need syrup (though of course I did add some!). The coffee is a nice medium roast and it's very smooth. Our server did a great job of keeping our mugs topped off and provided the perfect level of service and check-ins to see how we were doing. Highly recommended!
Food was tasting great especially the steak and eggs BUT just right before finishing the meal, a hair was found underneath all the potato’s. Not only that there was about a 5” hair found under our toast. When informing the staff, the comment of ,”Hopefully there’s no other hair underneath your other potato’s.” Typically the cost of the meal is taken off the bill but only 10% was taken off and no apology was given. All in all good food does not overcome the fact that there was hair and an apology was not given. Would NOT recommend to anyone.
We’ve been coming to the Harris St Café for years. We’ve brought friends and family to share this treasure of a breakfast/brunch/ lunch stop. The neighbourhood, the menu and art gallery vibe in this casual dining spot has become a destination for us. Unfortunately, the last two visits have not been up to the standard we’ve come to enjoy. We understand that coming out of the pandemic, finding/ training staff and the skyrocketing costs of ingredients has impacted the restaurant industry. The Matterhorn burger with yam fries and mushroom soup with Reuben sandwich were winners though smaller portions than previously which cut down on food waste. Sadly, the poached eggs and salmon on the Bennie were over cooked and the sauce was more of a solid than a liquid.
Tony's has been a staple in Fairhaven for a long time. I've always enjoyed their breakfast. Whenever I have a chance, I pick up one of their white chocolate mochas. They have a wide selection of baked goods for pickup with the coffee.
Local's fav, good food, and great coffee! Great customer service.
First time trying the breakfast and bummed I didn’t try it sooner! Had the Diablo scramble and the classic breakfast. YUM!!! High quality food, nice portions, friendly staff. 5/5
The food was superb and customer service was great
Super fast and friendly service, Really good breakfast and the yam fries are yummy.
I was looking for the perfect pancake and found it at Harris Avenue Cafe! Cornmeal buttermilk pancakes were perfectly golden and fluffy, and the side of bacon was perfectly crispy. The steak and potatoes my partner had were seasoned well and also spot on. We came early on a Saturday and watched as the little cafe filled up, quite a popular spot! I can see why, as the food was excellent and my coffee cup was never empty. Will definitely be back!
It was very loud and hot inside. The food was fantastic never the less.
Got breakfast on your mind? This place has got you covered. HUGE portions and flat out delish. Deeee L I S H!
This place has a unique breakfast menu. Not your basic scrambled eggs and pancakes. Staff was friendly. Atmosphere bright and welcoming.
Reliably good breakfasts and lunches -- good enough to bring visitors! The vibe is really nice and it's always clean. At a recent breakfast, we had a couple of omelettes, French toast, and a traditional breakfast. It was all very good. There's outdoor seating in addition to indoor. Service is pretty good, if just a bit inattentive at times. We had a very pleasant, leisurely breakfast and will definitely return.
Great list of vegan breakfast sides compose a delish breakfast. Red potatoes, black beans, roasted asparagus, mixed veggies, toast. Lovely outdoor dog-friendly seating area. Delightful service.
We come here usually when we're in the Fairhaven area for excellent mimosas (the best) and very tasty brunch. Excellent service great food and drinks! Check out their outdoor patio area on a beautiful sunny day. There is also a coffee shop connected next door that you can get a coffee at if there is a wait at Harris :)
Nice patio seating. They allowed our poochie so that was great. Had the texas tots, which I thought tasted great and were seasoned perfectly! Waitress and service was very attentive.
