1. Looking for something lightly sweet to complement your latte? Caffe Adagio’s famously good coffee pairs perfectly with their Marionberry Scone.
2. With crispy pork belly and pickled chilis, the Sweet and Spicy Pork Flatbread at Ferndale’s The Score Sports Bar & Grill is a slam dunk.
3. Mercato delle Bontà does Italian food right; The Star of the Show sandwich spotlights imported mortadella (complete with pistachio), with a supporting cast of fresh mozzarella and spicy arugula.
4. Bellingham’s great pizza options have been expanding recently, but Goat Mountain Pizza remains a community favorite—their Potato Bacon Pizza with focaccia-like crust is incredible!
5. If you love sashimi but miss the rice that bulks out a roll, Chirashi (sliced fish on sushi rice) is for you! We love Ramen and Bowl’s version.
6. For a warm-weather caffeine fix, go beyond the iced latte and try a Chamomile Espresso Seltzer from Makeworth Coffee Roasters—pairs great with a cinnamon roll!
7. In Mount Vernon and craving a sweet treat that’s a little different from the usual cone? Casipi Filipino Store has all kinds of fabulous Filipino ice creams! Our favorite is the Green Tea Samanco fish-shaped ice cream sandwich.
8. The Grilled Threeze special at 20th Century Bowl is a cheese-lover’s delight! In addition to the usual gooey sandwich, there’s a mozzarella stick in the middle for even more chewy crunchy salty goodness!
