Things to do in Birch Bay
1. CJ's Beach House

The menu at CJ's is essentially casual tourist food. That is, the kind of food that works for small families on vacation at one of the nearby time-share hotels and the occasional local who goes here because there are few alternatives here in Birch Bay. Hamburgers, fish tacos, etc, are the order of the day. And on that basis the food's decent if not exciting.
Unfortunately, it's also priced at resort prices even though the word 'resort' is overkill--this isn't Hawaii or Cancun.

I am a Starbucks shareholder and I am a big fan of Starbucks. So when there was not a Starbucks within 20 miles of Blaine I was disappointed.
Until I found Woods Coffee. I was very happy with the service, the coffee, the food, and the atmosphere.
It was not a cookie cutter location. It had some style.
But the best thing was the staff who was very friendly and helpful. And the customers, who were working people in the shipping business mostly, were respectful and cool.

Custer is small. We like to look for the non franchise joints that are family owned. Bar food is sometimes great and this is passable and it it the only place in town, so I guess it is the "best in town"
Fun stop, good conversation, local spot full of locals

my wife keep telling me how much she liked this place. Finally went on a day they were open and it was great. the raw oysters were delicious, wish they had cocktail sauce, and the barbecued oysters were better.
They need a better of selection of beers, but overall great experience.

Ice cream with rich flavor and healthy servings. Love the thick milkshakes....nothing better than a mocha milkshake put together with chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, two shots of expresso and topped with whip cream. Fresh berry shakes are also killers. Friendly and fast service with extremely fair prices.

We were on our way to Vancouver and decided to stop for lunch before crossing the border. We drove down the main street there, parked, started looking at menus and such. So we took one of the side roads and there was this cafe, and it was exactly what we were looking for. We had soup and sandwiches and it was perfect, not too much, not too little. Very friendly service. They have a nice deck to sit on if it's a nice day.

A quaint retro style cafe with great food and service at a great price!
Reviewed By DaveWSI - Ferndale, Washington
Because we live nearby, 5 minute drive, we head to BB 3-5 times a week for a walk and something afterwards. We make the rounds between 5 different restaurants, the Bay being one of them. Great coffee, Seattle's Best, and split a sandwich now and then. Always fresh, made there while you wait, which is not long.

We only had the ice cream and some of the baked goods which were all good. The pizza seemed to be popular with other customers.
