Take a tour of Bellingham’s new ‘whimsy, woodsy’ coffee shop, Daytrip Cafe
We visited one of Bellingham’s newest eateries to give you an inside look at the “whimsy, woodsy coffee shop” serving a variety of drinks and pastries.
Daytrip Cafe opened in December, taking over the previous location of Narrative Coffee, which closed in February 2025.
The new coffee shop — described as “whimsy” and “woodsy” in its Instagram bio — offers visitors a quaint but vibrant ambiance full of locally crafted art, dried floral wreaths and a pink tiled coffee bar.

The drink menu includes espresso drinks such as americanos, cortadas, lattes, mochas, cold brews and drip coffee, as well as non-coffee options like teas, matcha, chai, golden milk and hot chocolate.
Guests can add a variety of flavors to their drinks, including cardamom, lavender, hazelnut, strawberry, panela, white mocha, vanilla, caramel and chocolate, as well as a choice of dairy, soy, breve or oat milks.
The cafe also serves pastries made by Lamination Station, including croissants, chocolate croissants and cookies, as well as bagels and cream cheese.
