Little Cheerful Cafe

On the corner of Railroad and Holly, this cash only, eclectic Bellingham staple offers solid breakfasts. Scrambles, their well known hashes, and gf and vegan friendly options. Always opt for the onions in your hash if you can, look forward to a fun coffee mug and keep your eyes peeled for local art on the walls. Only open till 2, so get on early and gets crowded for weekend brunch.

Surprisingly good! Homey atmosphere and friendly service. At first glance, I thought this was a soup kitchen. I was wrong and enjoyed my breakfast!

Use to be better. Use to have fresher ingredients. Use to be cleaner. But still the best breakfast in Bellingham.

First time visiting from out of town. I am giving it 3 stars instead of 5 because it was really great food atmosphere and friendly service, however, I was disappointed with our server’s lax response to my contaminated meal. I had been certain I tasted some bacon in my vegetarian breakfast, so I alerted him to let the kitchen know— but told him I’m happy to pay as I have no proof. He told me to find some if I could; as I picked through my hash browns I found quite a large piece, and another small one. I’m glad I didn’t accidentally eat those, too, and that I’m not crazy! The server just said he was sorry and left the bill on the table. That’s not the best way to win repeat customers! There was such a long wait between my complaint and his return, by that point we just wanted to leave. We were so enjoying our meals and I wanted to love this spot but I can’t get the bad taste out of my mouth.

This is my favorite brunch spot of all time. Every time I'm on the west coast I try to get here. The food is great, service is good, atmosphere is casual, and the owner does this cool free dinner for people in need of a hot meal each Monday. A business with real heart and soul. We'll done!
