Brunch Restaurants in Manzanita, OR

“Someone at Cannon Beach recommended this restaurant to us in Manzanita. The drive over was beautiful and even with the stop -- pulling in to a Vista location -- didn't take too long. If anything the view improved our appetites.

We were on our way to the soup place in Nehalem but decided to detour and check the wait time here. It was just about 15 minutes before they could see the six of us: three younger kids and three adults. So we felt we could manage. We spent the time comfortably in the courtyard bench area where we read books and enjoyed the blue skies.
The owner, Sarah, was super gracious and eventually invited us to check out the menus on the wall about a minute before our seats were prepped and we were seated.

We each ordered something different and for the kids we stayed with the basic scrambled eggs with cheese and chives. Turned out to be a delicious combination with the French toast. One of the kids liked his fried eggs over hard and fresh fruit combo so much we ordered it twice. Something about how the eggs were just perfectly scrambled.

What are the perfect scrambled eggs you ask? For me these were: the texture of my Sicilian scramble was silky and custardy, with soft folds rather than bounce or crumble. I pref scrambled eggs moist and glossy, not wet or runny, with creaminess. And the Sicilian scramble arrived hot and comforting. This place knows how to make them perfectly. Maybe the best eggs I've had on the coast. Seriously, you need to try them. My only regret is that no one in our party ordered the Eggs Benedict. Usually that's my go to at a place known for poached eggs; but I had seen the table next to me order the Sicilian scramble and it looked amazing.

For drinks, one of us ordered the Spanish coffee which she had been told would come flaming. The server did not understand what we thought we thought would happen (at other bars the bartenders take pride in demonstrating the skillful sugar burning -- so the expectation seemed reasonable to us). We were puzzled by the miscommunication. The cocktail itself was delicious topped with whipped cream.

I ordered the Bloody Mary which came with a nice array of garnishes, which of course makes the drink, including a half spear of kosher pickle, and she's wrapped with a cured salami.
One other cocktail was served and deemed also refreshing.

Oh we also enjoyed the Wolf moon bread and I ordered the biscuit with jam and butter. The only way to improve that would've been to increase the size of the biscuit Because it was amazing.

Looking forward to returning to try their other dishes. Whatever the wait, I can only tell you that the food is worth it.“
