Special Appetites VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, GLUTEN-FREE Cannon Beach loves its light eats and health-conscious menus as much as it does its fish and chips — including the gluten-free version at Public Coast Brewing Co. Those with special dietary needs can ask for substitutions in most restaurants, or opt for a wide range of dishes carefully prepared to be mindful of certain foods. For a vegetarian-friendly brunch or a snack on the go, Crêpe Neptune in the Cannon Beach Mall griddles up giant French-style pancakes, both savory and sweet, many named for local sites and landmarks. Try the Cape Falcon with strawberries, lemon curd and whipped cream; or the goat cheese, spinach and Kalamata olive-stuffed Oswald West. Its buckwheat-batter option is dairy- and gluten-free. (Please note: The kitchen isn’t suitable for celiacs.) Vegetarians delight in the omelets and meat-free eggs Benedict with slices of tomato and spinach for breakfast at Lazy Susan Cafe, a sunny, friendly spot with breakfast and lunch specialties. The cafe especially loves its waffles, serving them all day long with a range of toppings that include fruit and homemade whipped cream. Award-winning Pizza a’fetta has been dishing out pies in town since 1988, including tasty vegetarian pizzas featuring ingredients like artichokes, mushrooms and olives. There’s always a selection of veggie slices and green salads available for takeout. Any 14-inch pie can be made with a 99% gluten-free crust. Seasons Cafe, a welcoming casual bistro, can make any of its sandwiches, paninis or wraps gluten-free. The teriyaki bento with seasonal vegetables is a great choice for vegans, especially nice on the patio on a cool, breezy day. Give it a call for weekend dinner specials and live-music events.
