Iron Rooster Bakery

This is our favorite bakery in Fairhaven and we always make sure that we go at least a couple of times when we are in town. Their quiche is so good as are everything else we have gotten there. This year we had the focaccia bread and rooster rolls. Wow! I have never had anything here that I didn't enjoy immensely!

I absolutely love coming here! They have the best pastries in town and really amazing coffee. My only complaint is how infrequent they’re open and they’re outside ordering system. They do take a minute to get you your food/drinks, so don’t come in a rush!

First experience here, it smelled really good from the sidewalk so I stopped for a latte and tart. The guy I walked past on the sidewalk laughed when I said “damn that is good” under my breath. Rich and creamy, great espresso, not too sweet. Linzer tart was also excellent.

This bakery is EXACTLY what you want when you need a little pick me up. The case of beautiful baked goods has delicious standards like croissants and homemade cookies, as well as new additions EVERY TIME I come in. Today I had light-as-air Angel Food Cake with a lemon glaze. Last time it was fresh macarons in various flavors, heavenly. The indoor ambience is clean yet inviting with black & white tile, a perfect place to hide out on a rainy day, if you can get a table. The outdoor seats are comfortable and shady in the Spring and Summer thanks to a few good trees and the world's largest red umbrella! ❤❤

They have the best croissants in town partially thanks to the use of imported dough with protected designation of origin from Europe. Everything else is equally excellent thanks to the proprietors’ immense expertise, execution, and dedication. The staff runs around a lot to hand deliver your order. So, leave a tip if you so choose. If you get bored, talk to Fred the owner. He’s got lots of stories.

Yum Yum Yum. I have not found a treat at this bakery that is not absolutely the best I’ve ever had. There almond croissant is absolutely the most fabulous croissant I’ve ever had. Paired with one of their fabulous mocha lattes you absolutely can’t go wrong

Wow, so much goodness! We've had the olive oil cake, chocolate croissants, chocolate torte, danishes, carrot cake, bear claw (savory vegetarian breakfast in a fluffy croissant-like shell!) and more. Spectacular! It's probably good that we don't live down the street but I can't help but be sad we don't. If you haven't visited, you must! Highly recommended.

This is now my favorite bakery of all time. We love this place, it's become our Sat morning ritual. Keep up the great work. We have tried a few items: crossaints, cakes, bread pudding, etc. All excellent.

Stopped by Iron Rooster Bakery for the first time, my new favorite cafe! I was greeted with a smile and kindness by madeleine, who is super bubbly! My drink and pastry were out within a minute, super quick and efficient service. Atmosphere is very happy and welcoming, and very clean with nice outside sitting options. Thank you Iron Rooster and Madeleine! My chai was DELICIOUS <3

This place is amazing! I had the Mama Hen (croissant dough filled with pastry cream) and a peanut butter roll. Absolutely delicious. Come early and come hungry! Highly recommended!!!

This place just don't look pretty, everything taste amazing. We got a Boston cake and a chocolate torte, and both were super good. The flavors were so deep and rich, and not too sweet. Will be back tomorrow.
Update. I went back the next day! And got the chocolate almond croissant, and it was so delicious. Guess what? Will be back tomorrow again, to pick up some treats to take home

Great little spot! The oatmeal scone and bear claw were both very good and friendly staff. Plus, great coffee.

Small and cozy, but a joy to discover! Coffee was served quickly, but made with care and crowned by foam artwork. Bakery offers a surprising array of flavors and styles all made in-house. Staff is super friendly and attentive, and you can tell they take pride in their work.

Best pastries in Bellingham. Wish they’d open back up the inside area for a few cozy seats and so you don’t have to stand in queue outside to order.

Of course I love this place. Frank is so friendly and people there are so sweet and welcome. I go there all the time even Christmas Eve. Love this place

Life changing pastries. Some of the reviewers criticize the owner as seeming grumpy, but to me it is clear this is a result of their own American superficiality. The owner's demeaner is a big part of why I return. He is not at all fake, and he is kind. He reminds me of the proprietors I came to respect when I lived in Europe. Once you get a taste of sincerity, if you can recognize it, there's no going back. There are plenty of places in Bellingham you can go to if you wish to be served with fakey-fake niceness, laid over whatever true nature they are hiding. I too cringe at the prices sometimes but when I remember they are literally some of the best pastries of my life I know they are worth it, and it remains the best bakery in Whatcom and Skagit counties. I do think they should open up to have seating in the main room once again, as that is a gorgeous room and it was a treat to sit there pre-Covid. The seating offered in the adjoining room is pretty as well, but it is more fun to feel like part of the action of a bustling bakery.

Their baked goods are just something else! The chocolate babka and cinnamon buns were the best I have ever had. Fresh, well made, great quality pastries!

This is our new favorite bakery in Bellingham. Came out for a visit and wowed our kids with their selection of fresh baked goods. They said they hadn't been here before and they were now going to have this as their new favorite bakery. Raspberry cheese Danish, savory croissants, delicious and wonderful selection of irresistible flavors. Keep up the good work!

I have never had such delicious croissants in my life. The lamination is amazing, flaky and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Everything they make is beautiful and delicious.

The Mama Hen's nest was divine! It's my favorite pastry in town!!
