Great breakfast place, one of the best, in Bellingham. It's always busy on Sundays but we waited 30 minutes and it was worth it! The Number Nine was awesome and the French toast was also great. The staff is very helpful and friendly, even when they're slammed. Great breakfast spot!
The staff is amazing!! Friendly and attentive and knowledgeable. The food is locally sourced and mostly organic.
I’m so happy we found this restaurant! We’re from Seattle and came to Bellingham for a getaway and Old Town met all of our needs. We love supporting small family owned businesses, and this one deserves our all! The food was amazing, locally sourced, great atmosphere, great people. Highly recommend!

Quirky little place; great food! I had the special- croissant with gruyere, bacon, arugula and scrambled egg & vanilla cappuccino.
Excellent local spot for breakfast but be prepared to wait especially if you have a large group - it's popular! Had the half order #9. Very good and plenty of food. They forgot one of our orders but they took it off our bill which we appreciated. Good service!
We loved our experience here! Went on a weekday around 11 so there was no wait. Servers were all very friendly. Lots of gluten free options! Though they will warn you when things are cooked on the same griddle. The French toast can’t be gluten free because it is battered. I went with the grilled cheese with sprouts, avocado and …
