“Ferndale has plenty of coffee shops, but Balam immediately became my favorite! I’ve tried a plain oat milk latte and their churro latte (both hot, but not too hot, so you can drink it right away) and their espresso is so smooth. Not bitter or burnt. The inside is cute & comfy, quiet enough to work or chat with a friend. I didn’t get a chance to try the wine or their snacks in the cooler, but I’ll definitely be back to try them.”

I am definitely making this my new regular coffee joint. Stopped in during the no kings protest, yes they were busy and the wait was longer than usual, but that is to be expected during a massive city event. The staff handled it with grace, remaining calm, and keeping smiles on their faces. Definitely a 10/10. Would recommended over and over.”
