Avenue Bread & Deli - Lynden

Cool setting for sure. The renovation that they did and the buildout is quite cool. There is some meeting space available. Which is always good. The bread is fantastic! Overall good on their food, I do think they're trying a little bit hard to be bougie...You basically go put your order in and serve yourself. They do bring the food your table, but you bus your own tables and get your own drinks and stuff like that. It's always seemed odd to me with so much staff there.

This was the most magnificent breakfast place that was recommended to us from our hotel that is attached to this restaurant. I was overwhelmed by the menu, and I wish I had quite some time to stare at the menu before I had ordered however, I was quite happy with what I got. I wish I could go back several times over to get different things. This place does not disappoint, but make sure you go there early because it's very busy. I got the haystack, and it was amazing

Did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious. The Chuckwagon burger was amazing, full of flavor. Kids grilled cheese was a hit as well. We will definitely be back.

It' a nice place in a cool building in downtown Lynden. My biggest Pet Peeve with restaurants is Counter Service to order and they bring you your food. There were no less than 12 people on the floor and no Table Service. Really? Lots of folks cleaning windows, sweeping sidewalks and I have to wait on myself for drinks? The sandwiches were OK, nothing to really brag about so I'm sure we won't be back. Too me, restaurants are part of the service industry and I don't like paying premium for sell service.

Absolutely love this place and everything about it - the rustic decor and relaxed ambience, friendliness of staff and food! We wanted to have some nice coffee and breakfast so found this place and loved it! We ordered 2 plates of food and 2 latte - total with tip USD $28. Pretty good deal for such an amazing food and hospitality! Thank you for your kindness and for making us feel welcome

Cold atmosphere. Bread's ok. Pricey for a less than tasty breakfast. Won't be returning.

Very disapointed. The Ruben my wife and I shared was more fat then meat, it is very off putting when you take a big bite of your sandwich and get a mouth full of fat and grissle. I have eaten here befor with a mixxed results so not ready to give up on them but i will not be ordering a ruben again..

Cute little place on a cute downtown main street. How it works: Place your order at the counter. Go find a table (inside or outside). They bring you your food. If you need napkins, condiments or a cup of water you will need to go up and get them yourselves. You clean your own table.What we ordered: - Beef Dip- Sweet & Savory Grilled Cheese (a special of the month)What we thought: - The Beef Dip was really good! The flavors of the meat and onions was yummy. The bread was crunchy and the au jus was warm and tasty. - The Sweet and Savory Grilled Cheese sounded great on paper but was completely tasteless. We were so incredibly disappointed. There was hardly any cheese. The peach chutney was meh at best and the ciabatta bread was nothing to write home about. Certainly a cute little place but it wasn't worth the 25 minutes of standing in line. Was this a normal experience or just a one off? Being my first time here I'm not sure but because the experience was not that great we probably won't be back to give it another try.

In this venue, you go to the cashier and place your order. You can get a great breakfast or lunch. I have had both breakfast and lunch here. Both were great. I enjoyed an omelet that comes with hashbrowns and toast. I had a nice turkey sandwich with iced tea. My date had soup. The ambiance is cafe style.

Having never really been to Lynden we drove down there from our place just north of the border and picked this place to stop for lunch. There appear to be quite a few eateries around, but we are glad we picked the Avenue. The place is cool inside, and from the looks of the place, it's always hectic. We don't mind ordering at the counter and awaiting our foods arrival, as it's quite European in nature. I settled on the BLT and added another T with a turkey addition. The lovely K had the basic Roast beef sandwich. Both came with potato chips and appeared to be quite large on the plate. They were indeed as we both finished half and got a takeaway box for the balance. My BLTT was excellent, although I did find the chips a little greasy. The lovely K found her sandwich to be just a bit less tasty, hence the four stars. All in all a place we would come to again, as it appears to be good value for the money, a pleasant atmosphere and a cool concept. Thank for a really nice lunch.
