FOOD AND DRINK FROM LEFT: COURTESY OF ELK CREEK COFFEE; COURTESY OF OROS’ FIRESIDE RESTAURANT Breakfast & Brunch With its foggy mornings and ocean breezes, it’s no surprise that Cannon Beach is home to a number of excellent bakeries, coffee spots and places that do brunch. COFFEE AND BAKERIES Just a block away from the beach, Insomnia Coffee Co.’s baristas brew espresso with roasted beans from its sister company, Dapper & Wise. Try a specialized mocha by the cozy wood stove. Bald Eagle Coffee House has homemade scones, vegetarian soups and soy lattes, and newcomer Elk Creek Coffee pairs its coffee with ever-changing specialty biscuits and gluten-free pastries. Longtime downtown favorite Cannon Beach Bakery wows its guests with its glass case full of giant Danishes, bear claws and savory quiches. Chocolate lovers rejoice at year-round specialties at the Cannon Beach Chocolate Cafe, such as the wintry hot chocolate or summery chocolate milkshake. Near Tolovana Beach, Sea Level Bakery + Coffee sells magnificent French-style loaves and maple-bourbon sticky buns, the envy of all bakers. At the north end of town, Elohveē Coffee Shop and Wine Bar pairs its piping-hot pick-me-ups with fresh baked goods, comfortable couches and a sun-dappled patio. CANNON BEACH BRUNCH The Lazy Susan Cafe, located downtown, serves all-day waffles, omelets and more. Families love nearby Pig ’N Pancake for its extensive kids’ menu, casual diner vibe and generous portions. Breakfast and lunch items are served all day long. On a stormy day, warm up next to a roaring fire inside a 1921 log cabin at Oros’ Fireside Restaurant with local seafood specialties like the grilled-oyster breakfast and Dungeness crab Benedict. Pair it with a Cannon Beach Sunset cocktail with rum, pineapple juice and grenadine. The Local Grill & Scoop has been a favorite for more than 30 years with eggs of all kinds, blueberry pancakes, and belly-warming biscuits and gravy.
