Swan Café & Deli
For several years running, the Swan Café & Deli has been voted by the readers
of the Bellingham Weekly as the Best Vegetarian
Restaurant. While it’s always an honor to be voted the
best of anything, it’s not completely accurate since
the Swan Café & Deli also offers a variety of options
that contain fish or meat. Either way, the Deli concentrates
on the freshest ingredients, using local organic produce whenever
possible, and concocts scrumptious dishes for every diet,
from meat or seafood dishes to vegetarian to vegan.
Be sure to visit our Cheese Island, located near the Deli—it
has one of the best selections of cheese in Bellingham. You’ll
find locally made Samish Bay organic cheese from Skagit Valley
as well as wheels of brie, authentic Greek feta, and European-style
butter. Don’t miss the olive bar!
Specialty and standard desserts are available from our Swan bakery team. Custom orders are welcome for wheat- and gluten-free, vegan, or other restricted diets. See our Sweet Celebrations card for information on cakes, specialty desserts, and custom orders.
The Swan Café & Deli uses premium organic ingredients
whenever possible and purchases local produce in season from
local organic farmers. See a list of local
growers and producers who supply the Deli. Call if you
have questions: 734-0542.

Special Diets
We are sensitive to special dietary needs. You’ll find many prepared salads and baked goods available for special diets such as wheat free, gluten free, low carbohydrate, low fat, and low sodium. Ask our servers for possibilities to match your needs.
Juice/Espresso Bar
The Deli uses organic fresh fruits and vegetables in our
juice combinations. Our juices are all non-pasteurized, offering
the full benefits of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes of fresh
produce. We use fresh juices and five organic frozen fruits
in our smoothies. Our smoothie bases include kefir, yogurt,
milk, and half & half—all organically produced.
Design your own smoothie or juice drink or enjoy one of our
many tasty specials, from pure, fresh-squeezed orange juice
or a shot of wheat grass to our most popular blends: Appleaid
(apple, lemon, line, ginger), Hawaiian rabbit (carrots, orange,
pineapple, ginger), and Emerald Pineapple (pineapple, banana,
kefir, spirulina). For something really unusual try the Mocha
Monkey (banana, milk, ice, chocolate, peanut butter, espresso).
There’s a juice or smoothie special every day, along
with a daily espresso special.
The Co-op offers a full line of organic espresso drinks using
Moka Joe Fair Trade coffee.
