Cafe Akroteri | Our Story
A downtown Bellingham tradition since 1986
Cafe Akroteri has fed Bellingham from its corner of downtown since 1986 — nearly four decades of scratch-made Greek food and warm hospitality.
The teal table that tells the story
The entrance console — stacked with accolades — says everything: this place has been woven into downtown Bellingham for a long time.
A scratch Mediterranean kitchen
Everything here starts from scratch — gyros, souvlaki skewers marinated in a Greek marinade, hand-rolled spanakopita, house-made falafel, hand-cut Greek feta fries, and homemade soups like avgolemono and lentil. The kitchen doesn't take shortcuts, and you can taste it.
A table for every appetite
Omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans all find something real here — from grilled lamb chops and souvlaki to house-made falafel gyros and vegetarian plates built around fresh, scratch-made ingredients. Bellingham's diverse crowd has always felt at home at Akroteri.
The Saganaki moment
Order the Saganaki and the table comes alive: pan-fried Kefalotiri cheese set ablaze tableside with brandy, a dramatic little ritual that's become a Cafe Akroteri signature. It's the kind of moment that makes first-timers into regulars.
