This has been a favorite of my husband and I for breakfast since we've lived in Bellingham. We were shocked when it came under new ownership and we were apprehensive about whether it would keep the same vibe.
We have been overwhelmingly surprised with how good and delicious the menu is. The owner really stepped it up a notch and has made this a go to spot for both excellent food and beautiful atmosphere! We love the french quarter vibe of the back patio.
The new menu is impressive in quality, with the Eggs Benedict being a stand out. So few places take the time to get their hollandaise sauce right but Skylark's hits it out of the park.
One of my favorites is their breakfast potatoes. So many places get breakfast potatoes totally disgustingly wrong. (Lumps of boiled and reheated rocks that sit in your stomach.). I rarely eat them and am so disappointed that I know I'm paying for something that's so disgusting. The breakfast potatoes at Skylark's are a revelation! I don't know how they cook them, but they are delicious! Perfectly cooked, soft, well seasoned bits of joy!
I would like to personally thank the new owner for helping make this favorite place and go to for my entire family with his delicious and delightful food.
