Vancouver Good Day Trips: Bellingham

May 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I recently wrote about my trip to Seattle but we also stopped into Bellingham on the way to and back from Seattle.

Bellingham is a lot more than Bellis Fair! In fact, I find Bellis Fair quite over-rated and do not understand the draw, but I had a lovely time at our Bellingham stops:

Avenue Bread -  3 locations in Bellingham.We stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed some delicious “eggenue” english muffin style sandwiches. I had mine on a freshly baked 8-grain english muffin, which was delicious! I bought a pack of five to take home.

The Bagelry – A yummy local bagel shop with several cream cheese flavours.

Mallard Ice Cream – Home made ice cream? Sign me up! Mallard Ice Cream attracts big crowds for their freshly made ice cream in various flavours, including the standards (chocolate/vanilla), Earl Grey, Black Cherry, and Peach Cheesecake. Options! Mallard is open until 11:30am during the summer, so you can stop by for a fix until late.

The Fairhaven part of Bellingham looked lovely. Lots of brick apartments, local restarants, and loads of great bookstores. I can’t believe I have never ventured into Bellingham before!

…and okay, THEN go to Bellis Fair.

    +1 for the Mallard Ice Cream! One warning: as a true ice creamery the milder flavours are better. I tried the black cherry and it was overwhelming. The pure chocolate was bliss.
