Best gluten free/vegan food in Bellingham. your life will be changed forever

We all enjoyed our food although we were very disappointed not to get breakfast after 11 a.m We love breakfast! The chocolate cupcake with cream cheese frosting was absolutely delicious! I wish I would have picked up another to go! The vanilla cupcake was a little dense and heavy as was the lemon lavender, but the frosting was delicious.

As a vegetarian of many years its really exciting to be able to go to a cafe and order anything off the menu. Everything Ive tried has been delicious, I especially love the blt which has coconut bacon (my favorite plant based bacon). Produce is always extremely fresh tasting! Great coffee and pastries as well. A hidden gem:)

I got their beyond burger, it was amazing! It was some really good veggie food! Highly recommend going 👌👌

Fresh daily, I saw several people waiting in line taking photos of the mouth watering bakery goods. The organic menu was wonderful. Ill be back.Thank you, Dan

Most delicious food in Bham by far! Amazing how good the food is and the staff so friendly, suggestive and helpful! Everything weve tried there is way above and beyond any other restaurant vegan or not! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates deliciously awesome meals and fair price for amount of food you get! Thanks again!

The most delicious cupcakes and pastries Ive EVER had! Im not vegan, but all their yummy baked treats are, hands down, the best around! My personal favorite is the Mocha Chocolate Chip cupcakes!🧁 😍

Food was super yummy! Reasonable pricing! It took 40 minutes for my biscuits and gravy, and they weren’t busy. They also forgot my latte until I reminded them, and it’s was not good I took two sips and ended up throwing it out. But I struggle writing this review because the food was so dang good!

The food was delicious and service was amazing! The lady that helped us was so kind and patient. I didn’t get her name but I do remember that she also spoke Spanish.

Food was outstanding! I had the impossible burger, the bun was amazing! My daughter had the vegan meatball sub and loved it! Really good stuff. The staff was sweet as well. Looking forward to eating there again the next time we are in town. Thank you for the delicious food!

Too much baking soda in everything! The Fact that the English muffin, waffles and biscuit all had that yellow tinge was a dead giveaway. The caustic aftertaste was absolutely disgusting. You can literally smell the soda in your food. The waffles had a chewy texture. Actually, the waffles, English muffin and biscuit all had the exact same texture. I think its important to note that Ive been a vegan for 6 years now so this dont come across as a rant from someone who is uninformed. Pro tip: do not use it as your primary leavening agent. And if you intend to do that, at least balance it out with an acidic element.Its places like this that make non-vegans have a poor opinion of vegan food.P.S. : I dont often write reviews but know that when I do, its either terrible or heavenly.

Cute place. The Belgian waffle was super delicious, so nice and crisp yet fluffy on the inside. I was indecisive for what I wanted for breakfast, so their lil sampler of the tofu scramble, potatoes, and biscuits and gravy was perfect.The biscuits and gravy was super delicious. I devoured it. The “egg and cheese scramble” was only disappointing because they don’t taste like scrambled eggs. I’d rather it just be called a tofu scramble as opposed to trying to be what it really isn’t. I also got a latte, and an americano for my roomate at home, but they were terrible. We ended up getting coffee from somewhere else.All the treats they have looked divine and had a great presentation. Overall, food was pretty good, coffee was awful, and covid safety guidelines were followed.

I did not enter the restaurant because I had my pup with me, so I can only comment on the food, coffee, staff, and location. My family had never been to Bellingham, so we decided to stop at Wild Oat for lunch before going hiking nearby. I sat on the tables outside the entrance on the sidewalk, and the weather, location, and atmosphere of downtown were great. I ordered a hemp milk latte, and it came out perfect temperature and tasted great. My mom and I ordered the toasted bagel sandwich, my sister ordered the Classic BLT, and we all shared a slice of banana bread. We got the slice first, and ate it with coffee; dessert before lunch, and it was delicious! Our lunch took quite long before it was ready and brought out to us (probably 25-30 min). The staff that brought the food out to our table was super friendly, and the food was worth the wait. We all really enjoyed our sandwiches as well as the spiced soup that came with the sandwiches. Overall, the location, staff, coffee, and food were excellent and priced reasonably. I highly recommend a stop at Wild Oat!

Called in Sept.8 and was told upon arriving the order was not sent to the kitchen (waited 1.5 hours there) Called in today and was told our “order was lost” after sitting and waiting there for 30 minutes. Was told again it would be another 30min. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. Management need to hire better FOH. (same girl at the front both times)

Sooo good. Friendly, delicious, creative menu! Good outdoor dog-friendly seating. This place has both coffee shop items like pastries to grab and go and also more substantial meals to sit and eat.And its all amazingly vegan!

Hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Got a lavender latte, a Reuben, and a Caesar salad! The dressing was incredible and the sandwich was so good! I cannot rave about this place enough!! The service was friendly and fast! Enjoyable little seating area! Will be back!

We ordered 2 sandwiches with salads to go and waited almost an hour for them while people who were behind us were served. The person who took orders was also serving orders without washing her hands. She then touched our forks on the eating end. Then we only got one of our salads. We werent given any explanation on what took so long. The sandwiches were good but Im not sure Id go back.

Everything ive had from here is so delicious, i just keep coming back over and over!! pastries are bomb, espresso drinks are fantastic as well, the PANCAKES OMG... please... literally i love this place so much

I loved this all vegan cafe! Definitely a gem. Scones are delicious!

Holy wait Batman. 2 hrs later we finally have our to go order.5 meals2 rated the food very good1 rated it fine2 rated it ehh or not good1:30 before it was plated (was supposed to be to go, which isnt a big deal)Took 30 to transfer to to-go.Woman who took our order, friendly.Other staff was less enjoyable.

Really tough to give one star, but I was really hopeful to find an all vegan eatery! From the time I ordered to the time I got my order -2 toasted bagels with vegan cream cheese- was 40 minutes. After I finally received my order, the bagels were unimpressive along with moist and cold as if they’d been sitting, and they give the spread on the side, so it was very hard to spread. After waiting for so long, and paying $15, I had at least assumed they would actually assemble my breakfast.Save your money.

Went to Wild Oats with a group of five, of the five there was only one vegan. Everyone was happy with their orders! Perfect comfort food for a rainy Bellingham day. The drinks are yummy too!!!

I have been coming to this amazing cafe ever since they opened and am so happy to have found this place. Where to start with the recommendations? Some of my favorite menu items to get here are the breakfast sandwich, the philly cheezesteak sandwich, the beyond burger, the fish filet sandwich, and the bagel sandwich. My son loves the french dip. If you come in on a day they have the Italian Sausage Potato soup--get it! The chili is also very good. Ive honestly loved everything Ive tried here (I cant get enough of their potato salad--its so perfect and everything Id ever hoped a potato salad could be).Im absolutely obsessed with the scones and was skeptical of gluten free baked goods until Wild Oat changed my mind (they have plenty of items with or without gluten!) If you are looking for comfort food you will find it here. They also do custom orders, I got my sons birthday cupcakes here and everyone raved about them.As with most small businesses if for any reason you have an issue with the food or service, let the owner know. She is a passionate, talented individual who truly cares and will do what she can to make it right. This is a good business to support and Im so grateful to have this gem in town!

Wife and stopped in great time we shared a pastry and coffeeThanks Inspired Leaf Teas

Love, love, love this place. Hands down my favorite vegan restaurant in town! I go here at least once a week if not more. They have the best desserts. The staff is super friendly and always welcoming. You can’t go wrong with your order because all of their food is delicious.

I am absolutely appalled to find out that Wild Oat had a POSITIVE covid case and CHOOSE to remain open! And this was the only notification to the public. You not only knowingly continued to expose your employees by not notifying them, you possibly exposed your patrons. This irresponsibility is disgusting! I am so disappointed to hear of a business’ total lack of regard for the safety of its staff and patrons.

All on separate occasions: got a scone to go and the inside was completely raw; had to spit it out. ordered a latte and they gave me a plain black coffee. service was so terrible. super rude person working who rolled their eyes at us when we asked where the gluten free pastry options were. yelled at us when we asked for a lid for the coffee since it was to go, instead, wrapped the cup with saran wrap making it incredibly messy. lettuce in the burgers/sandwiches is always wilted. it’s great to finally have a vegan restaurant in bellingham, but it shouldn’t be this one.

I love the Wild Oat! Their food is easily the best vegan food in Bellingham. I love all their pastries and their amazing menu items. My favorite items are the Reuben and the lemon lavender cupcakes. My only complaint is that there can be a pretty long wait on weekends or busier days. I know this is common, considering they dont have a lot of staff working at a time! I will still continue to go there for the amaaazing vegan food! Thanks Wild Oat.

Everything is amazing here✨ love everything about this place. all of the good vibes and good food here✌🏻

I LOVE this place. Im not vegan, but its heaven on earth for those of us who cant handle dairy or eggs. The staff is lovely- good conversationalists who clearly care about the earth and the quality of food getting to their customers. I am so happy every time I have the waffle (I had it with vegan whipped cream this time and it just made me VERY happy). Thanks yall!

I didnt even know there was a vegan cafe in Bellingham! I grew up here, but live in Seattle now. I come up every so often because my parents house is up here, and happened upon The Wild Oat when I was walking downtown looking for a place to eat. I eat dairy-free, so vegan places are always on my radar. This place was great! We went for Sunday brunch, and got the biscuits and gravy and Belgian waffles. The biscuits were fluffy and buttery, and the gravy was delicious. The roasted potatoes/peppers/onions underneath were great too. The Belgian waffles are HUGE and some of the best waffles Ive ever had, vegan or non-vegan. They were somehow fluffy, soft, AND dense at the same time. My dining partner was convinced the maple syrup was the real deal, and was super happy about that. I also got a latte with their house milk, a combo of soy and almond milk -- delicious! Not too expensive, either. Free WiFi too. Ill be back!

Great selection of a variety of Vegan foods and desserts. Wide selection of teas. Also coffees.

This place is worth the visit! Went in the first time for a cinnamon roll and wound up getting some lemon lavender cake! It was soooo good! Since then we have been back three times and not once are we disappointed! Everything we have eaten from there has been amazing! The cinnamon rolls are A+ and their staff is super friendly!!!!

Creative, cozy, clean place with all vegan choices and some gluten free too!

Crystal baked us the most delicious Carrot cake. The creamcheese frosting was fantastic. The cake was moist but not overly. It was for a graduation celebration. We took it the Bellevue Cheesecake Factory and everyone in their bakery kitchen were impressed and wanted to know what kind of cake it was. The graduate is taking the leftovers to his new job!!During the ordering process the young man working with me on the phone was professional, polite, and thoughtful.We picked up some Raspberry-Lemon muffins when we picked up the cake.Everyone in our group really liked muffins too.Over all - I highly recommend Wild Oat Bakery in Bellingham, Wa.

This place is my new favorite spot. Staff are super sweet and informational, the food is amazing! I wish I could know all the recipes! I highly recommend you try this place, Id give 10 if I could 5 isnt enough to be honest!Try the Philly with a side of aujus, and for real try a cowboy cookie please!

The potato salad is on point! Compared to the one I had from Whole Foods, Wild Oat wins. :)

Well Im surprised its actually vegan because it tastes so good! I ordered ahead by phone, the gentleman who took my order was friendly and knowledgeable. When I picked up my order, I didnt have to wait and was tempted by a georgous bakery case. Glad I ordered ahead or I would have ended up with a whole chocolate cake rather than a sandwich but my sandwich is lovely.

Friendly service!

The French Dip was amazing! Service was okay. The server seemed impatient. It was uncomfortable. We didnt feel welcome. The food is too good to boycott, though. Next time, well just order for take out.

It is great to have a vegan restaurant in Bellingham.

Tasty coffee and a wide variety of vegan and gluten-free options.

I ordered a London Fog and it was made just how I like it. Staff were courteous and professional. Table service was prompt and considerate. There are two tables which afford an interesting street view. I had one and enjoyed the view immensely.

So far I haven’t tasted anything i don’t absolutely love!!! Their Portobello burger is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tofu scramble with veggies and wonderful pastries!

Delicious food!! Love the BLT and au jus

It’s vegan. It’s gross. Just substitutes for real food. Made me feel ill and ill and undernourished for hours.

Slow but good.

COVID UPDATE: Great job adapting to COVID requirements. We got a nicely packed togo meal. Thanks!(Original review from a year ago) Excellent vegan comfort food - as well as some healthy options too. :-) Our group of three each tried something different (french dip, reuben, Impossible Burger, salad) and we were all very happy with our choices. Highly recommended. You dont need to be vegan to enjoy this food.

One of my favorite spots in town. Delicious food. So nice having a vegan restaurant in town after many years without. Staff is always very friendly.

Love this place, unfortunately they have taken the impossible burger off of their menu so don’t go here expecting a good burger anymore. (i think beyond tastes like slim jims). Great coffee, free refills, great waffles! good sandwiches, just make sure you’re there between like 11 and 2 if you want a lunch item.

We visited this bakery/cafe as it is the closest place to our home in Canada that sold the Impossible Burger. Cozy little café and bakery serving a bunch of vegetarian options. Service was super friendly and prompt and prices were pretty much on par with what you would expect. The food was super good too, the bun that the burger came on was one of the better buns I have had on any burger and the impossible burger was really tasty (although a bit of a sodium bomb which has nothing to do with the Wild Oat Café but more to do with the manufacturer of the patti). I would not hesitate to return to this place next time we are in Bellingham and would recommend to friends.

We ordered our wedding cake from here. We chose the lemon lavender cake. It was a huge hit with our guest and at a great price. The cake was ready for us to pick up the day before our wedding, and was so fresh the next day when we cut it. My mother said we will be ordering a cake every time she comes to Bellingham now. I personally think these vegan cakes taste better than any other cake I’ve ever had. On top of the wonderful cake, they give the best customer service! We love the wild oat!!!!

Yum! The pancakes were so fluffy!

I got a gift certificate from my aunt for Christmas. I was super stoked to try this place. Went in with no expectations. WOW. so many vegan options! My partner and I got a rueben and smoked turky Gouda Sando. We were blown away ♥️ he is a carni and loves ruebens. He really enjoyed this vegan rueben. I feel like that says alot. He says this joint could turn him fully veg. 😉👍

Found my new happy place. Such friendly service, amazing coffee, and delicious pastries and breakfast!

40 min wait for a bagel with cream cheese while the place is half empty… take your money to a place that actually cares about service.

Order a London Fog and excellent pastry, sun or shine, cannot be best. Ever courteous staff to boot.

Amazing coffee, the biscuits and gravy is my favorite thing, and the customer service is really good theyre always really nice!

I was excited to finally find an all vegan restaurant. The vegan sausage and egg breakfast sandwich was pretty good. But fell right apart and needed to be eaten with a fork. The place was dead and yet took 30 minutes for two little sandwiches to come out. I dont typically leave reviews but was bothered by the service. Wanted to be on the road back home sooner and now the trip is delayed.

What a wonderful experience!We made the drive from Mt. Vernon and it was well worth it!We were greeted warmly and our server answered all of our questions.We bother ordered the french dip and were not disappointed!It was DELICIOUS! The food was served hot and fresh in a short amount of time. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, the staff was amazing and the food was so good! Desert was a lemon -ginger scone that tasted like it was baked that day, super fresh! So good! The whole experience was fantastic! The owner ( I believe) was on site and made us feel valued as customers. Our server seemed to genuinely enjoy his job.Total win! Worth the drive for this place. Already planning our next trip to this delightful cafe!

My family and I visited Bellingham for the weekend and we saw this cool spot. I had the mushroom burger and it was the best I’ve ever had! Great service, very clean, and overall an awesome experience!!

Very enjoyable experience. Some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had! The place itself was very nice and had a great playlist on. I would definitely recommend!

Awesome all-vegan menu. The French Dip and the Smoky Turky sandwiches were both amazing, as was the 15-bean soup

Great employees and products

Its so nice there what do you need

Excelent desserts. The entrees... ...mehh.

Really creative vegan/vegetarian-focused menu with all the non-meat you can shake a kale leaf at. They also are one of 2 places with The Impossible™ Burger 2.0, which is without a doubt the best meat substitute burger Ive ever tried as a person who could eat burgers day-in and day-out. Their vegan cheese is also phenomenal - would definitely recommend as a place for folks who are interested in how much better that kind of thing is compared to even 5 years ago - if I didnt know it was vegetarian before hand I wouldnt have been able to tell the difference!

Amazing!!! Words can’t express how wonderful this place is and how delicious the food is. Honestly mind blowing. Full of flavor !!! Trust me I love flavor. We got a little bit of everything. Garden Scramble, chorizo burrito, Belgian waffles and cinnamon roll. Everything was perfect !! Priced reasonably and portion sizes are great, we had to pack things to go.I wish I knew how to add pictures!!

I love this place!! Ive been here twice now, the food is delicious. The bakery items are so soft and flavorful. Try their half and half in your coffee! Nothing more satisfying than walking into a restaurant and being able to order whatever I want because its all vegan!! Love love love

My favorite place for vegan food in Bellingham! I end up going at least once every other week, The French dip is bomb and the pastries are killer. I got a mocha from them a few weekends ago and it was great too. The staff is always nice as well!

I absolutely loved this cozy little cafe. The servers and owner were very friendly and welcoming. I am still craving another mocha with house made chocolate months after I had one. The food was all well done and the ingredients were fresh. The menu keeps it simple, everything I had was really well executed. Ill be back for sure next time Im in Bellingham.

This place is like a special hidden treasure that you want to bottle up and keep safe next to your heart, and stomach.. 😋🥰

Ordered a chocolate birthday cake with a raspberry filling and was compelled to write a review! With how difficult Covid has been on local business I wanted to buy a cake locally for my girlfriend, and was beyond happy with the quality. I believe its just the owner working right now so I want to say thank you directly to her for what shes doing with The Wild Oat and our stomachs say thank you as well!

Incredible vegan cafe and bakery! Loved their lemon sugar cookies and lemon lavender cake!! They have great food and delicious sweets. My favorite spot in Bellingham!

We love this vegan place with lots of gluten free options!! The whole office always wants lunch from here when we order out! Super yummy!

The Ruben was good. I am from the NY city area and it needs more meat to really get 5 stars. The tomato soup and vegan rye bread was really good. I look forward to trying other dishes.

Great vegan options and staff!!! The food was probably some of the best Ive had since turning vegan!

Great vegan restaurant! The service was welcoming. My daughter and I were both pleased with our selections from the menu. One piece of advice would be to add fresh fruit to the waffle.

Lactose intolerant and IBS friendly. I am so happy to have found a bakery/cafe that makes all vegan food. This is inclusive of dairy-free so I can finally eat delicious pastries, cinnamon rolls, scones, brownies, cookies, etc. I got a scone the first time then had to go back for more. I got another scone and a cinnamon roll. Even the day old pastries were amazing. And they have no dairy? Wow! I wish we had this where we live. The bakery items are moist, delicious, and so worth every penny.

A week after CDC lifts its mask requirements none of the workers are wearing them and no signage saying non-vaccinated people must wear masks. And no other safety measures in place. Very irresponsible. Don’t trust the ownership nor the workers there.

My favorite place in Bellingham! They serve amazing vegan food, which seems hard to come by in this town, so I am thrilled that they provide this delicious food for us! The atmosphere is very cute, the staff is friendly and the artwork is also incredibly beautiful! I have so much gratitude for Wild Oat!! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing vegan food and those curious about vegan, healthy and delicious food options. I would give this place a 10-Star rating if it was a possibility. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Wild Oat!!

I discovered this place after changing to a plant based diet. Its great! Ive had several items on the menu and theyve all been delicious. The service has been prompt and polite.

Drove from Everett, WA with my husband for lunch. And I’d do it again 👍🏽

So excited to find a coffee shop with vegan pastries!! You would never know the cinnamon roll was made without butter. My husband and I tried the scramble, biscuits and gravy along with the cinnamon roll and everything was delicious! The staff was also super friendly and helpful. I wish we lived here so I could come back every weekend!

The food was delicious but the service needs improvement. She didnt give us water when we asked two times and then she forgot about my coffee and when it did come, it came out cold. The desserts look amazing but nothing sugar free. Cute place to try.

Googled to find vegan baked goods in Bellingham because I was getting tired of making my own. Wild Oats was the first place to pop up so I gave them a phone call to see if they were doing take-out or delivery due to COVID-19 and they said they were. I asked what they had the woman on the phone was awesome and talked me through all the options. I ordered a chocolate raspberry scone and a cappuccino with their house blend alternative milk. I gave her my name and she asked where I was coming from so she could make sure my drink was warm when I picked it up. The scone was DELICIOUS and I will definitely be coming back for another one sometime soon.

Love this all Vegan spot! Delicious food with an amazing atmosphere, love the local art work as well. I am obsessed with their lemon yogurt. Picked up a Vanilla Rose cake....beautiful and yummy, it was a hit!

Great selection of all vegan eats and drinks. Even when its busy, wait-time is actually very reasonable. And most importantly, the food is amazing.

Very satisfied with my experience this evening at The Wild Oat Bakery & Cafe. When we arrived, the dining room was empty and we had the choice of seating, which is nice because after we arrived, 3 more parties came in. I ordered the Gyro with tomato basil soup and my partner ordered the pesto linguine with salad. Everything was absolutely delicious. A perfect meal. I am very excited to try their breakfast menu.

The breakfast sandwich with vegan sausage is fantastic.

I was very excited to be able to choose anything on the menue !! And so many options! The food was very good!!!

Food is always yummy and satisfying. Great treats, from cupcakes to scones.

Ive tried this place multiple times and I think theyve finally rounded things out. The customer service could still improve, but its a person-to-person basis. The food is much more consistent than when they first opened. Overall, its definitely one of the go-tos for weekend brunch. Try their home-made creamer, its delicious!

Cute little place. All vegan. Can be difficult to find parking. I was really underwhelmed with the service I received. The girl that was in the dining area cleaning tables didnt acknowledge me until I spoke to her, and then I had to specifically ask her if she would take my order or if I should order at the counter after Id been waiting for a few minutes, ready to order. And I think the owner came in while I was eating, and never looked at me as she walked by several times, let alone greet me or ask how everything was. (I was one of three occupied tables, so the restaurant wasnt busy or crowded.) I got biscuits and gravy, waffles, and a scramble. Waffles were good. Scramble was good. Biscuits and gravy were VERY good. And a piece of chocolate-hazelnut cake, which was delicious. Kind of expensive. And the hours are not great, since they close at 3:00. Im rarely ever available to eat anywhere in Bellingham unless its in the evening because of my work hours. Being vegan, I was excited to know there was an all-vegan option in my new hometown, but I probably wont be a regular. I was pretty disappointed, actually, by the whole experience. But still four stars because the food was good and vegan.

Theres something on the menu for everyone. Im vegan and had the Asian Salad. Oriental-style salads at most restaurants are loaded with an overly sweet dressing. This salad was served with a more savory dressing in just the right amount. It was delicious. My meat-eating husband ordered the Impossible Burger and raved about its taste. Im looking forward to a return visit just to sample the pastries and desserts.

I guess for vegan food its okay. Girlfriend made me eat here but it was good. Thats all Ilm willing to admit.

Its a nice enough place, but I didnt really care for the food. Even the brownie was kind of unpleasant to eat.

Loved their coffee and ladies who work there are super polite. They try sourcing their ingredients for the menu locally. I definitely support places like that. The only downside is the interior was a bit dark 😣

Awesome Reuben sandwich, really took me back to the non-vegan days. Service is friendly and the food is great.
