Amazing sandwiches here! Lots of options for breakfast/lunch. Spicy Philly sandwich might be my personal favorite. This location leaves a bit to be desired (Railroad Ave simply isn't what it used to be), but thankfully they have a couple of other locations around town.

sandwiches are great! Love the focaccia bread. Cute ambiance and staff was very friendly. Definitely a little bit overpriced but food is worth it.

Great breakfast spot. All the ingredients are fresh and cooked to order. Breakfast sandwiches made on house-baked bread.

Avenue is an iconic Whatcom County lunch/breakfast spot and they always hit just right! You genuinely can't go wrong with anything off their menu, and I love that I still feel great after eating there. Love how easy it is to customize different sandwiches to adapt to dietary needs and everything just tastes SO good. Plus, I feel they're super affordable and love that you can pickup a loaf of bread or sleeve of english muffins on your way out! Menu Faves: BLT&T, any of their Eggenue Breakfast Sandwiches, Rosemary Bread/English Muffins, Banh Mi Sandwiches.

They have great sandwiches! My favorite is the Avenue Club. This time I went for the Reuben. Nicely toasted and packed with corned beef and sauerkraut and it comes with potato chips. I noticed pickles were available upon request. I'll have to try that sometime. I'll be back soon!

They have some of the best sandwiches in the Bellingham/Fairhaven area. I tried the BLAT&T and it’s one of my favorites now. They have a decently sized menu so their is plenty to choose from. I wish they had creamy Mac and cheese then this would be perfect.

When you are always on the road you eat a lot of sandwiches, I mean a lot. Avenue bread has religuously been my go to sandwich spot for years now. Try the Avenue club or the gourmet tuckey on sourdough and included is a bag a chips. The eggunue, their signature breakfast sandwich, is incredible and 2 of those babies will fill you up. The service is fast and easy, oh and you can watch them make your giant sandwich from over the counter. Take these sandwiches to go and continue on your day with a happy belly.

Great food, no line up like the other places on the street. Freshly baked bread cute atmosphere. Two thumbs up for a relaxing and easy going morning. I will definitely come back and recommend to my friends. It's worth trying out so swing by and see if you liked it as much as I did.
