Underground Coffeehouse

Viking Union, Bellingham, WA

★★★★★4.6(60 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

“Tucked into the Vu tech building in Bellingham, this underground coffeehouse thrives as a genuine community hub where students and locals gather for open mic nights featuring poetry and music alongside serious study sessions. The real draw here is the cozy, home-like atmosphere with comfortable couches and a beautiful view—perfect for those long study marathons or catching up with friends—though coffee aficionados should know the brews are solid rather than exceptional. The staff's warmth and welcoming energy make this feel less like a campus caffeine pit stop and more like a second living room, even if the pricing reflects its Aramark management rather than indie roastery standards.”

So a little disclaimer, I work for the vu tech Crew so not the coffee house but the building it's in. I love this place I'm usually there to put on a show or for open mic. The community is great welcoming and nice. The actual coffee is great and they have a cider drink that I really love. Overall I wouldn't rate it 5 because of the location and the interior (couches and such).

Great place for studying or chilling with friends. The coffee is great, and they accept the Western Dining Dollars. Beautiful view too! And their open mic nights for poetry and music are amazing

Best place to hang out on campus or do a little studying. The staff is lovely. I wish it wasn't as expensive but that's Aramark's fault. They've got wonderful comfy couches. It's usually pretty packed though, mostly because it's such an awesome place on campus.

One of my favorite places to study on campus. It has a cozy atmosphere that feels like home, great coffee, and the people who work here are very warm and welcoming.

Great atmosphere! Coffee nothing to write home about. This is a wonderful, mostly quiet location to meet up with people, study or just enjoy the amazing view. Review written at the beginning of the quarter, and new student staff were just being trained on espresso drinks.
