A favorite spot in Bellingham to grab a coffee. The owners are very friendly, and always make a great drink. They have amazing sandwiches and paninis as well. Great outdoor patio seating.
This is one of my favorite spots in town to grab lunch and coffee! It's so quaint and cozy, and I love hanging out here on a warm sunny day. The food is exceptional and I enjoy the atmosphere. What's not to love? Bikes, coffee, food, and beer - wonderful combos, indeed. The image is of the pesto turkey sandwich.
During a First Friday Art Walk I stopped in to see some art and check out this infamous cafe. I was met with stares and whispers, from the usual patrons and owner. Literally everyone left and stood talking outside still shooting glares. It was a very uncomfortable and unfortunate experience. For a space that is meant to be open for all, I was made to feel like other. Very disappointed. ☹️

Nice place, super clean, and well run. Today, I was looking forward to a turkey, pesto, and gruyer pannini with spring salad. It did not disappoint and is of high quality and well priced. The coffee is fresh and good every time. Kim behind the counter is always spot on for service. Yum. Yum. Bicycles, too!

This is one of our favorite spots to get great coffee, delicious food and visit with nice customers. We often bring our pup too who loves coming here as well. Thank you!
I loved the Alpe d'Huez sandwich with salad. The tapenade really takes this salami/ham/cheese sandwich to a different level. Also Kim as always provided excellent service. My son enjoyed looking at all the bicycles.

This place. They have amazing coffee & a great outdoor seating area-- also, they fix bikes! This was the perfect place to start my morning the other day before work. But I look forward to cycling down and stopping in with my sweetheart as part of a downtown date, or maybe as a first stop on a ride out to Lummi Island or Hovander Park, very cool!
Cafe Velo may not be the most popular cafe in the Bellingham area, but they certainly have some of the best tasting coffee I've ever had. Their Americanos are the best I've ever had and they're staff is more than welcoming. If you're looking for a low-key spot to get a cup of coffee stop by Cafe Velo, i can't recommend them enough.
