Ashuri Baklava Cafe 103 Grand Avenue, Bellingham, WA 98225

"This is a traditional Turkish breakfast plate, Turkish coffee, and spinach börek. We also tried the baklava. Everything was excellent! This was my first experience with Turkish coffee, I loved it! There are also other items for sale such as beautiful colorful lamps, rugs, spices, etc. Quaint little shop with a warm ambiance. The owner is very nice and gracious. If you visit Bellingham, you must check out this lovely shop."

"We had a top notch Turkish coffee and Yemeni coffee, paired with a pistachio and a walnut baklava. The coffees were very good. You can request them to come with a low to high level of sweetness, as turkish coffee is sweetened with sugar during the brew. The baklava was the best I’ve had in the states, not dry at all, it was freshly made and not too sweet. Sometimes baklava can be drenched in syrup, these were not so. The owner of the shop was a great host, provided excellent service, and was friendly. Definitely will be back."

"Going to visit this place every time I am in the area, all the pastries tasted amazing. Excellent serviceand neat decors."

"I loved this place! The inside was beautiful and thoughtfully decorated a It sounds like two brothers who were originally from Turkey own the place - but I totally overheard that, so I could be wrong. I had the cardamom coffee, my husband had the lemon hot fruit tea, we each had a mussel baklava, and we bought some Turkish delight. Pros - The beverages were not made quickly, were fresh, and delicious. - The Turkish delight is made sort-of local in Vancouver by a man who uses real fruit juice and was delish. - Everything was super clean. The gentleman behind the counter was cleaning up. - The staff was friendly and helpful. Cons - Not really a con, but the baklava wasn’t as crisp as I’m used to. It may be a variety I’ve never had before?"

"Lovely, cozy café serving the tastes of Istanbul. Warm service from folk who clearly love what they’re putting into the world. And for good reason! Everything was delicious. Baklava was undeniably exceptional. Don’t sleep on the savory items though. Everything we ordered was cut for sharing, and was a perfect light lunch for our party of 3. Coffee and tea are served just like in Istanbul. Highly recommend dining in. Love this spot!! We’ll be back again."
