Opened In 1886, The Horseshoe Cafe Is A Longtime Icon In Small Town Bellingham, Washington
The Horseshoe Café in Bellingham, Washington, has been a Holly Street staple since 1886. With a diverse and loyal community of supportive customers, who affectionately refer to it as the “Shoe”, the café has remained open for more than a century.
The original café opened as a 24-hour restaurant and cocktail lounge and became popular among people drawn to the area in search of jobs in the coal mining and logging industries. Today, the ‘Shoe closes for just a few hours late at night and opens early for breakfast, which is served all day.
The Horseshoe Café proudly serves local Moka Joe organic, fair-trade coffee. Whether you prefer plain coffee or a decadent seasonal latte, The ‘Shoe has you covered. Like your coffee boozy? Try a Cowboy Coffee with whiskey, Kahlua, and Baileys.
The folks at the Horseshoe Café know that breakfast tastes just as good late at night as it does in the morning. That’s why they serve breakfast all day. If you’re hungry for biscuits and gravy at midnight, or cinnamon French toast at noon, you’re in luck! Enjoy your favorite breakfast dishes whenever you want.
Bring your appetite. The Horseshoe Café serves a wide selection of burgers, sandwiches, soups, and salads with hearty portions. If you’re in the mood for something spicy, try the Badland burger with grilled jalapenos, and sriracha.
