Description: We've been voted Bellingham's Best Sandwich for over ten years in a row, and there's good reason for this. We start with our fresh-baked bread (Focaccia, Rosemary, Mulitigrain, Ciabatta, just to name a few...), Add lots of tasty veggies, and all-natural meats (if you're into that sort of thing- if not, we have lots of vegetarian options), finish with great homemade spreads, and present you a gourmet sandwich fit for royalty. Special to our Railroad cafe are our flats, our take on pizza, and our grinders.

This is one of those places with the huge blackboard full of specialty sandwiches and combinations. For the first timer it's a little confusing. Felt like everyone else was a regular. But, the food is prepared fresh , it's good and they bring it to your table.

Had lunch there recently and loved it. The sandwiches were carefully prepared and of excellent quality. The workers were very friendly and showed a sincere desire to please. Sandwich sizes were more than ample and the hot coffee was delicious. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable meal.

I have been going to Avenue Bread for years and never been let down. Start with great bread and a sandwich with fresh ingredients and you cant go wrong. Made while you wait and then an option of sitting outside along the sidewalk or inside by the window. Usually pretty busy and a favorite of the locals.

Happened to park right opposite when we had an hour to kill before touring Western Washington Uni. Busy inside at 1.00 pm, but the line moved fast and our food was on the table within 5 minutes of ordering. Ordered the Gourmet Salad, the Hail Kale Ceasar Salad and the Tuna Spinach Salad all of which were large and very fresh. Would order each of them again. Look forward to revisiting when next in Bellingham
