1. Serious Pie
**To be rapped/sung to the beat/tune of "I'll be Missing You" by Puff Daddy and Faith Evans**
Seems like yesterday I got to taste your dough
I put my name, spent 1 hour on hold
In the cue, just let the lager pitchers flow
Notorious, everyone says you're…More »
2. Caffè Senso Unico
The last time I was in this area to take a bus from the sketchy Greyhound station down the road, there was nothing in terms of food/beverage outlets except for the Vietnamese place in the station and a Subway. I was there this morning and thought,…More »
3. PCC Natural Markets
This store is a foodie's heaven! As well as for anyone who is vegan, vegetarian, on a wheat free diet, etc. Amazing selection of good food here! I think I spent more than an hour just browsing around and I only came here in search of Nancy's Yogurt,…More »
4. Trader Joe's
I love Trader Joes. This one even has a demo counter where they gave out samples of creme brulee! I really liked the lay out of this TJ compared to the bellingham one. It seemed like they had more things. Atleast a bigger wine selection.
They also…More »
5. The Pizza Source
Since Jessica N. wrote this review, apparently it has changed ownership. However, they still do have simple and delicious pizza!
My first time having this pizza was when we came into seattle last winter during the huge snow storm to get a flight to…More »
6. Jalapenos Mexican Family Restaurant
I think Jalapenos' will be my regular Mex food stop in Bellingham from now on when I venture down south. The food here was pretty good and their patio was great on a hot summer's day. The fresh fruit margaritas were delicious! I've never had a…More »
7. Pel' Meni - Russian Dumplings
This is a great place to stop and eat at when you're on the road and you don't want to eat commercialized fast food. They have two options: meat or potato dumplings. I got half & half. They were pretty tasty. They're served with curry powder, hot…More »
8. NEXUS Enrolment Centre
Nexus at the airport rocks! Super fast. Not too much hassle at all! Totally worth the $50. I should fly to the US more often!
Nexus on the ground... going in to the US is okay. Coming back to Canada is so complicated with the entire form thing to…More »
9. Crab Pot
If you want to get down to your primitive barbaric roots while eating (with out the hunting gathering part), this is the place to be.
This time we had the huge Alaskan feast and it was delicious! Well, for $35 you get a bunch of crab, clams,…More »

From what I remember, Crab Pot had some awesome fish and chips, clam chowder, and or course, crab. I… Read more »
10. El Cazador - CLOSED
My second experience with this restaurant was.... just okay. The food wasn't amazing or anything. I think i had high expectations since previously I ate at La Palma in Hermiston, OR and it was amazing!
This time there was no salsa bar like last…More »

Exactly what I wanted right when I wanted it! We went here on our drive back to Vancouver and… Read more »
11. Los Compadres
Hmmm... I came here on a weeknight and I had some hope because there was another couple here dining. They had chicken enchiladas on special and I should have known better.
Generally when something is on special, the restaurant is trying to get rid…More »
12. Pacific Highway Port of Entry
This crossing will save you (usually) a lot more time into the U.S. and the border guards here can be funny and crack jokes with you. I mean... when you're two sisters that typically get called twins, what young guy wouldn't comment?
I also prefer…More »
13. United States Customs
Usually, but not always, I find that this border crossing always ask more interrogative questions than the Pacific crossing, which make me really nervous... because let's face it; any time anyone asks you a million questions that you have to answer…More »
14. West Coast Duty Free Ltd
I love this duty free store because they have all sorts of fun things. It's really easy to kill an hour in this store just checking out the make up collection, perfume displays, Roger & Gallet soaps and lotions, chocolates to get for the additional…More »
15. Boomer's Drive In
Mmmm mmm mm! Delicious! I hadn't been to a drive-in restaurant in ages (not since White Spot had them everywhere and I was a kid)! I ordered the classic combo with a chocolate milkshake! So delicious and so bad for you! The waffle fries were so…More »
16. Jet City Pizza
I'll echo scott h. and say, "damn good pizza." If you like a nice perfectly doughy pizza with yummy toppings this is the place! Every time I come to Seattle area I think about this pizza. Their beer battered crust is yumm!! They have some creative…More »
17. Tully's Coffee
It's a nice place to grab a quick cup of coffee on the way home to Vancouver and stay awake for the drive. Better than Starbucks. But their blended ice coffees aren't to my tastes.
18. Munchen Haus
A solid sausage fest... I mean house.. I mean, come here to get your fill of sausage! Ermm.... well it's tastier than it is dirty ;-) They have a good selection of high quality sausages, including a turkey and a vegetarian option. Not something you…More »
19. Duty Free Americas
It's not as good as the West Coast Duty Free on the Canadian side of the border in terms of selection for cosmetics and perfumes, and not as big as it, but it's pretty inexpensive for alcohol. And they give you a stamp card that if you buy 5 you get…More »
20. Fred Meyer
OOohh! My new favorite store in Bellingham! They have a sizeable natural foods section and I can find the yogurt brands that I like (Nancy's, Fage, Brown Cow). They also have a good produce section--I found chanterelle mushrooms there last time and…More »
21. Maggiano's Little Italy
This was a very interesting and entertaining experience. Our server was really intense and was really trying to sell us on the "specials." And When only 1/5 of us ordered a special, he looked really disappointed and not happy with the 4 of us, but…More »
22. Mango Thai Cuisine & Bar
Wow! Delicious Thai food! We loved everything we ordered here, and the Thai iced tea is so good!! The decor is very chic modern, trendy. The prices are probably a bit higher than your average Thai restaurant. We ordered cashew chicken, pork belly,…More »
23. Hillcrest Bakery
Their over the phone/email customer service was great! Unfortunately, it kind of stops there. I ordered a cake for my sister's birthday and had my other sister who lives near Bothell pick it up. In short, the cake was probably one of the worst…More »
24. Residence Inn by Marriott
We really liked this hotel. It was warm and comfortable. We got a one bedroom with a sofa bed for the 4 of us. The room was modern with a new flat screen TV. It also had an entire kitchen in it, which was a lot bigger than many kitchens I've seen.…More »
25. Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air
I love Alaska Airlines. I am a loyal customer. Anytime I go anywhere, I always see if I can go via Alaska Air. Why? They are always on time, usually earlier. They have friendly staff. Free microbrew craft beer or local wine on those small puddle…More »
26. Capers Café et Le Bar
Portland, OR 97220
USA
(503) 280-1010
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Bagels
Neighbourhood: Northeast Portland
For an airport restaurant, we had a lovely experience here! We hadn't had a big breakfast as we had to catch our first flight really early in the morning. So by the time we got to our Portland connection, we were tired and in need of good food. That…More »
27. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
I love airports in general. Maybe it was since watching Love Actually. I don't know. But they're a great place for people watching. And I love when airports have many shops and restaurants to choose from. Not that I always buy or eat anything at…More »
28. Señor Moose Café
Deeeeeeee-licious!!! The guacamole alone is enough to keep me coming back. I had the carne asada and it was cooked to perfection. Though, I have to say, I kept trying to sneak my sister's chipotle shrimp when she wasn't looking.
This restaurant is…More »
29. Inn at Queen Anne
I really liked this hotel, but as the other reviews say, it's a no-frills hotel. Don't expect any of the fancy, new-hotel type amenities. The building is old and rickety. They have real keys, not card locks, and you have to ask the desk for a hair…More »
