Been eating here for over a decade and The breakfast Nook is still a must in my rotation. The food is reminiscent of sleeping at grandmas house and waking up to the yummiest meal possible cooked by someone who pours love into their craft. With specialties like banana nut bread french toast or Alaskan pouched eggs there’s something for everyone, it’s reasonably priced and the staff is diligent and friendly! Parking is sketchy but totally worth the effort. Food featured in photos,
steak and cheese omelette with home fries and raisin toast along side a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel with cream cheese both plates where delicious! I apologize I don’t have a photo of my banana nut bread french toast because it was just that good!

Stopped in for lunch. First time there. The waitress had such nice dark hair and eyes. I had a coffee and ordered an egg salad sandwich on whole wheat. It took a while, but it was delicious — I had the impression that they had made the egg salad to order. I was feeling great about it. Got the bill, and was disturbed by its being higher than expected. Asked the waitress, and she pointed to a little line on the page opposite the lunch menu that indicated a one-dollar surcharge for whole wheat bread. The price would have still been reasonable if they’d just marked it clearly, but this felt like an underhanded trick. Still, I’d go back, even if with a certain trepidation after writing this review!

Have not been there in a while, stopped in last weekend, it took a lonnnnnng time to get your meal, this is breakfast, seems like they make one plate at a time. I am a server, I watched our server, instead of getting the food she would bring a plate then stop and clear a table, wait on another table then go get the rest of our food. This is ridiculous. Their food is delicious, which is why I do go back, but the wait times since after COVID is just obsurd. There use to be the same three to four woman in the kitchen for many many years that would get the food out fast, now I see newer people, (except the woman in the window) they need to get up to speed.

Food was excellent and hot, very large menu! They have a little bit of everything, so pretty much anyone can eat here despite dietary differences which is awesome for my household. Food was too good to stop and get a picture.

It’s great food if you have no teeth, aside from the home fries that were clearly unturned while cooked. I think everything in my veggie omelet was boiled.

As far as the decor and atmosphere, this Bellingham breakfast place doesn’t go out of it’s way to set itself apart. Being an established favorite with locals, this greasy spoon always has a steady flow even in the face of COVID. The entire staff is laid back, unpretentious, and friendly and they seem to understand the delicate balance between being attentive and being obnoxious. The food is well prepared and they haven’t missed a single of the special requests I always have. An excellent local gem!

my girlfriend and i have stopped going here, even though it’s our local breakfast joint. the customer base is of a very clear demographic and as a queer couple, we get a lot of uncomfortable stares (mostly from other patrons). but if you love your bacon and eggs with a side of slight homophobia, this is the place for you!

I hadn’t been to The Breakfast Nook in years, and it was time to rectify that. I decided on 2 Eggs, 2 Bacon, 2 sausage, 2 regular pancakes, home fries with onions, and an everything bagel instead of toast, all crowned with a piping hot cup of Chai.
The eggs, bacon, sausage – all were competently prepared. Bacon was as crisp as I like it, eggs were runny as requested, and as a whole, this core of the meal was perfectly average. No disappointment, no wonder – just good.
Same goes for the bagel. It is a basic bagel. It isn’t a thick-o New York bagel, nor is it undersized. It reminded me of a bagel from the supermarket.
The tea was a bit on the weak side. Served in a metal pot, the water was hot enough to properly brew tea, but there is far too much water for a single tea bag to infuse properly. Unless it is a specialty, I’ve yet to find a restaurant that manages to get tea right.
Now.
The pancakes.
This is where it is at. Thick, fluffy, almost cake like. I got one with chocolate chips and the other with peanut butter chips. They were perfect. Right now? Breakfast Nook has the best pancakes I have ever had from a restaurant.
The service was friendly and attentive, and the decor/ambiance was what you’d expect – clean and well kept, yet ultimately unremarkable. Despite the pedestrian surroundings and average Breakfast, Breakfast Nook delivers the very best pancakes.
