Exploring Pacific Northwest Cafes

For all those who love exploring cafes outside of Vancouver, a great spot which is fairly close is to head south of the USA border. Here are a few nice spots for coffee and cafes to explore between Bellingham and Everett. These 2 cities are great places to stop when on the way to Seattle or when you are heading to Vancouver.

Bellingham

Espresso and Tonic

One café that I have visited a few times over the past year is Trove Coffee which is located near Western Washington University just off the freeway on Samish Way. At Trove they feature a full espresso bar with the usual line up of beverages as well as a few of their own speciality drinks such as the Espresso and Tonic which I loved on my most recent visit. In addition to their coffees they also offer a selection of pastries and such from local bakeries.

Everett

Located in downtown Everett is Narrative Coffee a beautiful brick walled café featuring a full lineup of espresso beverages, pourovers along with in house baked goodies from cinnamon buns to scones and more.

They are a multi-roaster cafe featuring coffees supporting local as well as international roasters I had an Iced Americano on my recent visit as I was wanting something cold. They also offer oat milk and other dairy substitutes for any of their milk based coffees.
