Crema's Take

Mother Handsome is a quirky, wonderfully designed Ferndale hangout where eclectic décor (hello, monocled moose head) meets genuine hospitality, complete with a dedicated family area and cozy sofa nooks that invite lingering. While their traditional and specialty coffee drinks are solid, this place really shines as a multi-purpose gathering spot that handles the late-night crowd just as gracefully as the afternoon coffee date, serving up delicious pizza and pastries alongside their brews. Fair warning: their popularity means waits can stretch, but the creative atmosphere and QR-code ordering at the table help make the time feel worthwhile.

We popped into Mother Handsome on a snowy afternoon and instantly fell for the cozy, creative vibe. Think brass moosehead with a monocle, layered wallpaper, and calming lighting; every corner has character. 🦌✨ Kim had the matcha with lavender, I went with the chai tea latte, and both hit the spot on a cold day. We split the Jalapeño Business pizza for lunch (bacon, ricotta, jalapeño, garlic oil… chef’s kiss) and loved the light, crispy crust. Ordering was easy with their QR code system (or walk-up if you prefer), and the self-serve water station was a nice touch. Easy parking in the back sealed the deal. We came back shortly after our first visit to try the grilled cheese with mushroom soup and bacon breakfast burrito, which didn't disappoint. Definitely 5 stars from us!

I can't say enough about how great our experience was. This was my first visit and everything was perfect. We have a 2 year old and there is a separate family area that is open and has toys and books for the kids. Staff was very inviting and interacted with our son in a very engaging way that helped keep him entertained, which I greatly appreciate. The pizza was top tier. We got a couple pizzas, bread sticks, and salad, all of which was phenomenal. Good beer selection and creative, fun, and tasty mixed drinks. Thank you for providing such a warm and inviting atmosphere for families, we will be back often!

A cozy place with easy online ordering at the table with a QR code. You can also order at the counter. Comfy sofa seating options. Pizza and seasoned bread were both delicious. Also a nice variety of espresso martinis.

Lovely spot, girls night, coffee date or late night bar. I always enjoy coming here for food and drink. I think there coffee is okay but excel in other things. Biggest issue is waiting, food or drink normally takes awhile and have to normally go remind them about our tables order. Though there normally packed

I wish I took more photos of the actual food but I'm not gonna lie we were pretty buzzed by the time our food came out so I forgot ;) This was my second time having Mother Handsome but my first time dining in. We went the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. They were BUSY, I could tell they had a ton of carry out orders as well as big parties all around the restaurant. Service was a little slow just because of how busy they were, but honestly we did not care. Hands down the Raspberry Fig Martini was the best cocktail I have ever had hands down (I am a sucker for Chambord). My boyfriend ended up branching out a little more than I did and all the cocktails we tried were 10/10. They had this game on all the tables that we loved and played the entire 2 1/2 hours we were there, and I could tell most of the other tables were playing it as well. It was basically just a bunch of random questions on cards, some fun and simple and some so profound we had to skip them because they brought tears to my eyes and I did indeed have 3 of those martinis. The cheese bread is amazing, their sauce is a 10/10. Last time we ordered take out we got the Buffalo Chicken pizza and this time we got the Mom's House. Literally both are out of this world. I'm originally from NY so I LOVE their pizza style. A delicious thinner crust without burning the absolute life out of the bottom. New favorite pizza and cocktail spot, will be returning again and again. Staff was also extremely friendly!!!
