    This is a eulogy for the Harris Avenue Café. One of the best little places in the Fairhaven District of Bellingham. Around midnight on December 16, 2023, the building housing the Café burned to the ground. The brick front wall is unstable and probably cannot be saved. We've lost the oldest building in Fairhaven at 134 years, and a focal point of the morning for many locals.

    It's been several years since I've eaten here. Back then, I was not a fan. Yesterday I thought it was time to give it another try. The interior is the same as it was, but the menu has totally changed; it has many interesting new offerings. The service was very prompt and our server was extremely upbeat, cheerful and helpful. The food was prepared well and was tasty. The one item that could use some serious work was the potatoes. They were grossly overcooked, soggy and "tired " (not prepared fresh). I would skip them next time. In all, it was a pleasing, enjoyable breakfast. I will be back.

    I do not give out 5 stars easily, but this place has completely earned it. I have been looking for a long time for a great restaurant that absolutely does a fantastic job with breakfast, I found it. Everything was scratch, made and cooked just right. Service was just right, and very kind, eclectic downtown Bellingham, setting as well. Highly recommend.!!

    I decided to stop in Fairhaven to take a walk and stretch my legs, but especially grab some breakfast for my early start of the day. I am glad I stopped in today at Harris. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor seating offers really beautiful views of trees and of the nostalgic buildings across the street. The place wasn't too crowded on a Thursday morning, and it smelled amazing walking in. I ordered the Texas taters in a half size as well as one of the cornmeal pancakes. I seriously could not finish it all, but I really wanted to, the cornmeal pancake was something I have never had before, and never thought that would taste incredible. You must try this! The Texas taters were amazing as well, I loved the veggies and the mixture of meat with potatoes and a little bit of sour cream on top. It all went really well together. Sierra was an amazing server, she was attentive and polite and sweet and if I'm ever back, I would hope that she'd serve me again.
