Crema's Take
“This beloved Ferndale spot has mastered the art of the leisurely breakfast experience, where homemade biscuits and gravy rival childhood memories and German pancakes arrive perfectly cooked and pillowy. The warm, welcoming atmosphere draws regulars and road-trippers alike who happily wait for a table, knowing the creative coffee drinks and seasonal specials (hello, white chocolate raspberry pancakes) paired with thoughtful light fare make every visit feel like a homecoming. It's the kind of place where families linger over good coffee and genuine food that tastes like it was made with actual care.”

The food was delicious! One of the best meals I’ve had. I was literally craving it again later. Great taste at a good price definitely makes your tummy happy. Highly recommend!
Wowza so delicious! I got the biscuits and gravy and the special white chocolate raspberry pancakes. Delicious homemade biscuit tasted like the way my Dad made them growing up, with flavorful meaty gravy rich with tasty herbs. The pancakes were fluffy and melted in yr mouth with fresh raspberry syrup that made my mouth water, the white chocolate chips melt and add a sweet treat contrast with the raspberries. The atmosphere was full of life and friendliness! I can’t wait to come back and try more of these delicious meals!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brunch here was fantastic. My German pancake was amazing — perfectly cooked, light, and full of flavor. I also had a greyhound, which was refreshing and paired great with the meal. The building itself is part of the experience — the iconic wooden door, cozy cabin-style feel, and warm, inviting vibe make this place instantly recognizable and memorable. It feels like a destination, not just a restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, and a spot I’d happily return to and recommend. The Birch Door Cafe is absolutely worth the visit.
I will preface this by saying I have a sweet tooth and sometime you just want a chocolate chip pancake, ok? Ok great! It has been a minute since I was here and guys yes there is a wait and yes, it’s long but this is such a fun splurge that you can deal with that, but also, you can order your coffee, boozy coffee or whatever you like at the counter and sip as you wait! Fun times my friends. The place is pretty much an upscale barn type building with you guessed it a great big birch door, lots of windows plenty of tables and very down to earth! Service is always on point here and true enough our server was very polite if a bit new but nothing to detract from our time. I ordered the chocolate chip pancake 5/5 and there was plenty to go home with me(6 very fluffy delicious pancakes) the hubby ordered an omelet 5/5 with a side of pancakes. Everything was delicious and Viennese was an added bonus (YUM!)
I would drive across the border for this place. We were spending a weekend in Semiahmoo and stopped here on the way back. The space itself is warm and welcoming, spacious yet cozy - every seat was full! We had to wait a few minutes for our tables but were able to be order drinks right away. The food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh and each item ordered did not disappoint (we were a large party and ordered quite a few!) our server was so friendly and patient as we debated what to get on their very extensive menu. This place is really just great all around. Hope to go back soon!
