Cannon Beach Cafe

We loved spending our afternoon here! Both lunches were delicious. The PBLT sandwich was memorable! We will be back.

Lovely little café in quaint Cannon Beach. Sweet service, great organic produce. Couple stars off for a way way over-​priced catch-​of-​the-​day (salmon) salad — $ 22 for some amazing lettuce/​veggies and a teeny-​tiny piece of salmon. Felt taken advantage of. Should have inquired before ordering, but didn’t think that the special pricing would be so out of line with the rest of the reasonably priced lunch menu. Boo.

Super happy with this place, atmosphere is adorable, and I was greeted with warm smiles each time I entered. After learning there aren’t many vegetarian options in Cannon Beach I found this gem, and thank you chef, TWO OPTIONS for vegetarians! I came two nights in a row and had one of each. Yum yum yum. Love and quality at its best. See you next time!

Came here on a Thursday night and was very pleasantly surprised. Both the service and the food were excellent. From the salad to the fresh catch to the pork chops we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The server and the chef were very friendly. We liked our experience so much we came back for lunch the next day and had just as good service and the French dip and sweet potato sandwich were delicious!

This is a really good place for a great meal and excellent service. He menu is excellent and the food prepared beautifully. For good French food this is the place to go in Cannon Beach

A member of our party ordered the oyster stew-​horrible! Tasted like watery, milky sea water.
Witnessed one of the servers eating directly off of my salad plate, with his fingers, right before delivering it to me.
I ordered hot tea and requested cream and sugar-​took forever to get the cream and sugar.
Brie and fruit plate with no bread?
Granted it was holiday and busy. But man, service was slow. Practically had to beg for water refills.
Sad.
This space is great and the menu seems nice-​execution, not so much.

Me and my husband went to stay the weekend at the cannon beach hotel for our «mini-​moon» after being newly married. The night we got in, it was stormy, crazy wind and rain and we decided to venture out to find a nice restaurant to eat. A few steps out the door we realized that was a terrible idea so we ended up in our hotel’s café and thank god we did! There was a new chef there who was incredible. The food was just amazing, absolutely amazing. Every bite we took it just got better and better. The chef personally came out to chat with us and make sure everything was to our liking. We made the mistake of going into town and eating lunch somewhere else, it was terrible and a waste of money so we made sure that night to return to the café for food we knew was going to be worth it and once again the chef didn’t dissapoint! the waitress was also really great, she made sure we were well taken care of and even remembered exactly how we liked things the second night we came. Honestly it felt like we had made a new set of life long friends. Seriously, do yourself a favor and visit this café!

Our server left her thinking cap at home, but food was amazing, especially the French dip!

We had our anniversary dinner in the café and loved our waitress Cassandra. She was attentive and went the extra mile to make us feel special. The café has a light and quaint décor. The food is above average. If it weren’t for the loud family with a baby who banged a spoon on the table repeatedly and a mom who was playing word games with her toddler who then broke a glass, it would have been perfect!

My meal for one took for-​ev-​errrrr.
I came here thinking they’d have sandwiches and cheaper fare, but I guess in the evening they transition into a fine-​dining establishment. Everyone on the patio with me seemed to be on dates, so if you have hours to spare and want a romantic dinner spot, this might be fine. I felt really out of place in my swim trunks, tee and baseball cap.
I wanted a good meal fairly quickly so I could catch the sunset on the beach. I barely made it to see the sunset because my meal – one beer and one entrée – took two hours, with only about a dozen diners there in that timeframe.
The servers were kind but not very attentive, in spite of only having a few tables to take care of.
The food was okay. The menu said that the bouillabaisse had shrimp in it, but there was no shrimp and it was almost all mussels instead. They were fresh and tasted good, but several of the shells were broken and I kept biting into little pieces of them.
The server felt bad about everything taking so long, so offered to make me a free coffee drink after I paid. I should’ve known that it would take about 15 minutes longer to get that.

This little gem is everything a café should be. Quaint, clean, with a creative menu and excellent service. The portion sizes varied from adequate to enormous (enough to feed two).
Also, since the new chef was hired, the creativity and quality of the dishes has gone up even more.
Worth checking out, we’ll definitely be back!
Try the Sweet Potato Salad.

Absolutely love this place! It is never too busy, it is in a great location away from the town entrance, adorable décor and amazing food!
Every meal I have had was very good and satisfying.

The food was delicious but the service was pretty slow. Worth a try if you have the time!

Fantastic service and the food was excellent. Dog friendly on the cute patio with pretty flowers. They provided water and patiently stepped around him if his backside swung out from next to the table. The french dip with fennel slaw was excellent as were the crostini’s and daughters salad. Pretty place to relax just off the beach.

I chose the salmon with black rice. I believe it was a special and it was delicious! I also had the roasted beet salad. The presentation was awesome. I would definitely come back. I did encounter the same issue that someone else posted. They were unsure if they could seat us even though the place had lots of room. I got the impression that they were not prepared for more people. However our service was fast and the waitress very nice!

The menu looked awesome, bouillabaisse, cassoulet, boeuf bourguignon, this is a French man’s heaven. We came in without reservations, and they asked us to come back half an hour later because they couldn’t accommodate 5 people although the place was half empty (we’ve got 3 young kids, we could easily squeeze), but no big deal we walked around and came back.
The waitress was nice, she warned us that the charcuterie plate was going to take at least half an hour. I thought it was strange that a dish that only required cutting cold cuts of meats and cheeses would take that long but we told her to send things whenever they were ready and not wait.
They sent out the food for the kids first which was nice, but we got the charcuterie plate at least an hour after we were seated. It was ridiculously huge, and not bad. This could probably have fed 2 adults. I ordered the cassoulet and my wife the bouillabaisse. They came 2 hours after we were seated. My cassoulet was disgusting. It had a strong smokey flavor, I thought I was sucking on charcoals. My wife’s shrimp weren’t bad, but she complained the fish was tough and not good. The waitress was very apologetic about the wait and comp’ed us the charcuterie plate and a dessert for the kids, but this was easily our worst restaurant experience in a very long time.

I don’t think a place should open for the season with half their items unavailable. On Wednesdays, in CB, a lot of the places are closed this time of year. This place had just opened for the season and had no ice tea, no lemonade, no black bean burgers, no clam chowder, no bruschetta and God knows what else. We note several parties who came in looked at the menu, got the litany of what they did not have and left. Perhaps we should have also.
Having passed a lot of closed restaurants, we decided to grit our teeth and share a French Dip. I would say the French Dip was store bought beef, not roasted in house and the dip broth was french onion soup, not au jus. It was small. We were charged an extra $ 2 for the split and not wanting alcohol, settle for water to drink.
I don’t think we will try them again and if on a Wed., will go to Seaside for some picnic fixings.

O-​M-​G! This place was pure delish! Cannot wait to go back tomorrow!
Hubby had the French dip, I had the Rosemary chicken with Brie. Can’t say enough good things about it!!!
The sides were a standout as well. Sweet potato salad and homemade sweet pickles. A-​MAZ-​ING!
French press coffee, loose leaf iced tea, top notch.
It’s a small place with few tables, but so completely worth the wait, you won’t be sorry. GO, GO, GO!

A terrific find in Cannon Beach. Little French Bistro with a small menu; each item executed to perfection. Excellent vegan options. My husband and I ordered the following items: Bruschetta; Café Garden, and Roasted Beet Salads (ordered the beet salad sans cheese). For our main courses we both ordered Vegan Edamame Black Bean burgers. Dinner was paired with the house [French] table wine (La Vieille Fermé, Cote Du Ventoux Rouge).
We had a terrific time, dinner was excellent.

Our compliments to the chef.

This place seemed promising but unfortunately was a huge let down.
We were a group of 10, it’s a lot I know, the place had plenty of open tables and we let them know they could seat us separately but apparently they didn’t want to do that. We walked out after they told us they were going to sit us all together and sat others before us.
They then tried to refuse my husbands take out order. After he persisted, they reluctantly took his order.
I regret that we gave any of our business to a place with such poor customer service.
Food was just ok.
