NORTH OREGON COAST 31 VISITTHEOREGONCOAST.COM JASON AND LIZ MENKE Owners, Sea Level Bakery + Coffee With Jason Menke’s passion for coffee and Liz Menke’s fascination with using food to heal and nourish, it only seems natural that the two would end up owning Cannon Beach’s popular Sea Level Bakery + Coffee. “It’s been an amazing journey to bring our dream to life,” Jason says. Their specialty coffee drinks include syrups crafted in-house, and their housemade baked goods like cookies, hearty loaves of bread and flaky pastries have garnered an almost cult following. “We wanted to create a space where people can slow down and take time to enjoy something that’s been made with a lot of love and attention,” Liz says. It all can be found at their centrally located shop, which buzzes with chatting patrons as they pick up orders and catch up over a cuppa.
