Coffee Bar on the common - Bellingham, Massachusetts

artsy O.

First off I want to say that my husband and I are coffee lovers and love to try new places as they pop up! When we saw this place pop up in Bellingham we had really high hopes that we would now have a local coffee shop that put out wonderful coffee, sandwiches, and bakery items. Needless to say, I was left so unimpressed with how awful the coffee was and how embarrassing the breakfast sandwiches are that they are putting out. While the place is super cute and the customer service is top-notch because everybody is so kind and welcoming, the products are overpriced and they do not meet the standard of a specialty coffee shop. They advertise selling lattes and don’t even have an espresso machine so basically you’re overcharging people for lattes and not providing the product that’s actually supposed to go into them. I’ve also attached a picture of my sandwich that I received and this is the second sandwich that I received from them that was just incredibly embarrassing. The first sandwich I ordered was advertised with “thick cut bacon” on it and when I opened up the sandwich, I almost died to see a 3 inch slice of Canadian ham put on it, again false advertising. Today was my last try with this place after two prior attempts to see if maybe they had a few bad days. So I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was supposed to be sausage, egg and cheese and I have attached the picture below because how can you sell a product that looks like this For almost 7 dollars?! I could get a better looking sandwich at honeydew which is two seconds down the road . The only thing that I’ve liked about this place is some of their bakery items are quite good because they outsource them. To charge the prices they are charging you must provide quality products and your sandwiches and coffee are not that and quite frankly it’s embarrassing that you are not providing What your advertising. I hope that the owners take this feedback and actually make the changes needed to create a true coffee shop experience for people who love coffee and know about coffee and Bakery products.

This place is adorable! Menu is huge, so many sweets, savory pastries, açaí bowls, lattes. The people are so nice too. It’s so good to have a local coffee shop in downtown Bellingham 🙂

This place is adorable and the staff is kind! They get their pastries and baked goods from local bakeries. I got a hazelnut latte and it was delicious. Check them out!

I have not been able to shut up about this place since it opened. It was so good I came back with more friends the next day. I got the espresso martini latte with oat milk and OH MY GOODNESS was it heaven in my mouth. I also got the Toni with sausage and a jalepeno bagel and it was probably the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth. The selection of pastries are AMAZING as well, I can’t wait to try them all they look so good. I also recommend the strawberry açaí lemonade, it was so refreshing and so delicious. The service here was also so welcoming and amazing!

This is such a cute new spot for coffee in Bellingham. The espresso martini latte was so yummy, and my son tried the Pink Pony Club refresher which he enjoyed.

I decided to visit the Coffee Bar this weekend after seeing their facebook posts about their grand opening. Since it was opening day, I waited about 15-20mins in line, and the woman at the register was very sweet and gave me 3 extra punches on their loyalty card for the inconvenience. I ordered the Scallion Stallion breakfast sandwich which was a 10/10! Their coffee was good, but wasn't really my style. I think they use Torani syrups, so it was a bit too sweet.

The condiment bar (with straws, napkins, etc.) is placed behind the line where people are ordering, which creates a traffic jam. Customers have to push through the line just to grab a straw. It would make more sense to move it to the opposite side of the door for better flow.

As someone who works remotely and frequents coffee shops, I have to mention that there are limited plugs for laptops. Also, unless I am mistaken, there are no bathrooms at this location so keep that in mind!

I'm giving 5 stars because it's a brand new spot with potential. They’re clearly working hard and being thoughtful with customer experience. Hopefully they make a few adjustments. I’d definitely like to come back!

Yummy! Enjoyed the muffin and egg sandwich. Liked the variety of latte flavors. The cinnamon bun was delicious. The atmosphere had a welcoming vibe.

I absolutely adore this lovely place!! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with the most friendly and welcoming hello and it just gets better from there! Look around and be delighted as you take in the visual appeal of this lovely place-focus on all the amazing pastries and foods that are in the showcases and try to decide just what you are going to have-not easy!! Once you select your pastry or other delectable treat, be prepared for deliciousness on a whole new level!! There are savory stuffed croissants for breakfast or lunch (everyone of them top notch yum!) breakfast sandwiches (that I ever so eager to try!!) as well as a wide variety of choices offered on their menu. Jordan and Sue are just the kindest and warmest individuals who are so happy to offer you assistance and answer questions, as well as create and serve up those delicious treats and coffees with a smile and passion for what they do. They are to be commended!! The Coffee Bar is not a "will be" but is now my "definite" go to place for lovely atmosphere, excellent pastries, food, coffees, and all around "so glad you are here with us" from Sue and Jordan vibe!!
