Since 1958, IHOP® has been the place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, grab a bite before or after sporting events, and so much more. And no matter what menu items they order, there’s one ingredient that’s always constant — a smile. We’ve seen millions of smiles over the years in our restaurants, and now shared in photos across our social properties. In fact, smiles are so much a part of our culture that we changed our logo to include one.

This is just one of the many fun and exciting changes you can expect from IHOP®. Because we know the shortest distance between two people is a smile. -

Bellingham IHOP has been local, family owned and operated since May 2012.

Our vision is to provide exceptional service and excellent food in a clean, comfortable and well maintained restaurant complemented by dedication and respect for one another, our guests and our community.
