Pure Bliss Desserts — Restaurant in Bellingham

I do want to preface my sister ordered the cake, and I did not buy it. $48ish

Food: berries and cream cake. The best part about this cake was that it was not as sweet as normal cakes which is a major plus. The cream cheese layers were good, but the outer layer was way too thick and the sprinkles added nothing. The cake itself was crumbly and very low tiered.

Service: I was sent to pick this cake up. I thought it was like some places I’ve been to where your name is on it and you find yours and take it. To the left there was a freezer that was see through and I thought that was where I was supposed to pick it up. All other freezers were not see through, so the fact they put this one right by the door seems odd. A lady came over and asked me what I was doing and said pick up line is over there. Sorry! The pick up line had 2 people ahead of me and by their faces I could tell they were waiting a while. The employees didn’t seem to care that both lines were backed up and 1 was out the door. They didn’t pick up their speed. The lady at the front asked how long it’d take, the dude in front of me did too and then I gave the name for my pick up order after she asked for theirs. Waiting off to the side there was an older lady who looked absolutely disappointed. A guy came out and said they can’t find her order and she had to pull up the confirmation email by phone…ridiculous that Pure Bliss can’t be organized especially around the holidays. Even though it’s the holidays, you should know that customers are going to be coming in more so planning accordingly should have been done. After I had given my pick up name 3 more people did. The 2 in front of me got their orders, the 3 behind me did too. I had to ask someone to check cuz it had been 20 mins by then and I got places to be. I also watched plenty of people who were in the normal order line get their stuff. If my sister put in the order and it’s supposed to be for pick up then I don’t see why pick up has to wait longer than walking in off the street. The lady who they couldn’t find her order requested a refund and then they magically found her order. Kinda suspicious.

Atmosphere: it was a comfy and cozy looking place. The decor was cute.

Overall, definitely wouldn’t recommend this place. The service aspect is the reason why. And the flavor of the cake was meh. Nothing that made me wanna tell someone to try this. I’d recommend the strawberry shortcake or tiramisu from Fred Meyer or even...

We've visited the bakery a handful of times for a treat and coffee (always stellar, never disappoints), but this review is about our wedding desserts!

We worked with Pure Bliss and Renee for our wedding desserts, which was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!! Communication was quick and clear, and she asked all the right questions to capture our vision for our wedding day. Since we were planning during COVID, we were able to plan a to-go cake and dessert tasting. It was an easy process, except for narrowing down cake flavors - everything was amazing, it was hard to choose! PBD delivered our order to the venue on the wedding day and we were also able to rent display plates and stands. Our wedding cake looked classy and the flavor was out of this world. We chose a chocolate cake with espresso sweet cream filling, frosted with vanilla buttercream, plus some other goodies like a lemon wedge, Nanaimo bars, a chocolate torte, and Russian tea cakes/cookies. We received SO many compliments from our wedding guests on our desserts, and there was barely anything left over, so we know everything was a hit! We can't wait to visit the shop again for more delicious high quality desserts. Thank you Renee and Pure...

A sample sale is what originally drew me to Pure Bliss, and while I didn't purchase the dress I was eying when I was there, I was really impressed with the staff! They were so nice and accommodating! So when I went shopping with my mom and sister, SERIOUS dress shopping, I was instantly drawn to go back there, and I'm glad that I did. After trying on probably about 10 dresses, I finally found the dress I loved! And the staff kept the shop open a little later, not pushing us out, so I could stay in the dress and truly get excited about the purchase. Since then, I've gone back three times--once to try the dress on when it arrived, another time for my bustle-fitting, and lastly for my final pick-up. Each visit has been so pleasant--Jeanine runs a really well-oiled machine. They were also so helpful with accessories (which are very reasonably priced at the boutique!), and putting the whole look together. A plus in my book. I'd send anyone back there who was looking for a fun and fulfilling dress experience! The dress was perfect upon pick-up, in a perfect bag all pressed and ready to go. There was a personal card tucked into the pocket, wishing me luck and thanking me for my business. A really nice touch! I...
