The Birch Door Cafe brings to the table three generations of restaurant excellence and expertise. It all began with my
grandparents’ restaurant in Chicago over 50 years ago. Following in their footsteps, my parents opened the Oak Table
Café in Sequim in 1981.
Growing up in my parents’ restaurant alongside my two siblings, we too fell in love with the family business. After
graduating from Western Washington University in 2008 I helped my sister and her husband open their restaurant,
The Oak Table Café, now in Silverdale. Then in 2011, along with my wife Taria, we moved to Walla Walla to help my
brother and his wife open their restaurant, The Maple Counter Café. Carrying the flag of the family’s tradition of warm
hospitality and delicious food, Taria and I are excited to plant our roots here in Bellingham and present to you, The Birch
Door Café.
Our chefs at The Birch Door Cafe understand that preparing good food takes time and special care. Starting at dawn
every day, we prepare numerous batters from authentic coveted recipes that hold true to our vision of a memorable
meal. Our batters are not from packaged mixes. All are carefully blended by hand using fresh ingredients of the highest
quality. Such as unbleached hard wheat flour, fresh eggs, and real cream. Another important aspect of our batters is our
amazing sourdough barrel. This old fashioned process of nurturing yeast has been handed down from generation to
generation and is what makes our pancakes light and fine textured. All of our syrups and toppings for our pancakes
and omelets are delicately prepared from scratch. The butter used in our restaurant is above USDA 93 score, the finest
available. By rendering out the impurities (salts and solids) ourselves, we are left with the pure “golden oil” which we
use to baste eggs and cook our special dishes. Our whipped butter is simply that-nothing more, nothing less. We have
chosen a locally roasted blend of coffee to compliment your meal, and we serve it with real whipping cream. Our orange
juice, grapefruit juice, and lemonade are freshly squeezed in our kitchen every morning. The use of locally sourced
ingredients is a priority at The Birch Door Cafe, better serving you and our great community. Nothing can replace fresh
products for food value and taste.
It is our hope that through our handcrafted meals and caring service we can be a bright spot in your day. We thank you
for your patronage and invite you to relax, savor and be delighted. We love our customers. You’re the reason we’re here!
Love,
Casey and Taria
