Bald Eagle Coffee House

We arrived around 2 pm and we were a little disappointed to find that the options for pastries were quite limited and picked over. However, I ordered a vanilla decaf latte and a pumpkin spice coffee cake. Both were amazing and delicious.

This is a camouflaged Starbucks with all that I’ve come to expect in that dreadful company. However, Wednesday is day-​away for all the other coffee shoppes. Two stars due to the nasty coffee, long lines, and poor customer service that iconifies SB. But another star for a gentlemanly owner and an attached starving artists’ shop. The quality of the art made it clear to me that they are likely starving, but the ambiance is nice.

Great little place with amazing service. Seriously, the owner couldn’t be nicer. While we were there, one girl ordered soup. There wasn’t enough for a whole cup, so the owner just gave it to her. Another woman noted the hot pot was running low on coffee, so the owner had her enjoy the coffee she’d poured while she was waiting and made a full-​sized fresh cup to go.
We shared the homemade creamy potato broccoli soup. Delicious and served with two small slices of tender homemade buttered bread. We had one of the carrot cake cupcakes– big and bursting with shredded carrots and topped with a light and fluffy cream cheese icing and halved walnuts.
They serve Starbucks coffee, Tazo and Stash tea and made sure to ask how many tea bags I wanted with my tea. Free WiFi and hooked to a cute gallery. Dog-​friendly front porch.

Solid 3.5 stars.
Quaint little coffee shop walking distance from the beach. After driving from Vancouver, BC, we needed a pick me up, stat! The owner (?) was lovely and very sweet. The coffee and hot drinks were pretty average. A couple of us had some of the pastries/​bagels and had no complaints! The biggest thing was the smile the owner had on his face, even if the lineup was out the door.

I’ve only stopped in here a few times, but I will keep going. Besides the fact it’s within walking distance of my house, it’s one of the best and most affordable coffee shops in Cannon Beach. I’m pretty sure you can find the cheapest espresso drinks here, as compared to Bella Espresso, Insomnia and the Sleep Monk. That being said, I’m a big fan of Starbucks coffee (which is served at Bald Eagle) and others may prefer something different. To each their own. My favorite thing is that they make their caramel lattes with sauce, rather than syrup, and they’re just perfect. I haven’t had any of their pastries but they look delicious, and I’ve been told they are. Hopefully next time I stop I can.

Late morning stop on a fabulous early fall Sunday. The owner was delightful and efficient. Loved the pineapple coconut scone and a steaming hot latte. Interesting old record album covers to gaze at. Obviously a place for locals as well as visitors.

marionberry scone is great! Starbucks coffee is served here too.

Bald Eagle seemed a bit lame when I visited: I was hoping for a great cup of coffee, but it was just mediocre. Out of «serve yourself» milk or cream, instead I asked for some steamed milk at the counter after waiting a while in line. Maybe the baked things are awesome, but the coffee was barely adequate at best.

Umm this place is kind of going down hill. It looked a little worn and torn, the coffee wasn’t as impressive, and my cookie was a big meh. I’ll leave it as a 4 since that marionberry scone was so memorable from my first visit.

Solid local coffee shop and away from the touristy part of Cannon Beach. The coffee is good and the bagels are quite tasty. It’s a four star place but I give it five to support local business.

From the time we decided to spend the New Year in Cannon Beach, I kept hearing about this coffee shop that was near the community hall that my husband had found when he was in town for a Red Cross thing a few years ago. Knowing that he is very particular about his coffee, I knew that this coffee must be something pretty special.
On New Year’s Day we stopped here on our way to find a more substantial breakfast than just espresso house pastries. While the coffee itself is Starbuck’s the latte that was created with the beans that I have so often tasted so much better than the latte’s I have from the mother-​ship. The coffee did not taste like the beans had been over roasted (as it often the case, at least at my local Starbuck’s) and the milk was steamed to the perfect temperature… you know where you can actually sit and drink the coffee and not have to drive to work and sit through two meetings before it has cooled down enough to drink without putting a permanent scald on your tongue.
It was a good thing that I wanted something other than pastry for breakfast, because by the time we got to the Bald Eagle, a little before 9 am on New Year’s Day, the pastry case was pretty barren. By the time we left they were down to two chocolate chip pecan cookies.
The place itself it pretty small. They had maybe five small tables and, when we left, a line out the door. As it was January, the outdoor seating area was really not going to be an option and I think a lot of people who had planned to come and start the day with a nice relaxing cup of coffee with a pastry and the newspaper were instead heading back to their various accommodations to drink their coffee and figuring out where to go get breakfast.

Perfect place to start the day! The owner is a complete gentleman and the setting is comfortable. The gingerbread scone was delicious — more gingery than cakey-​sweet. Would have loved a cream cheese frosting on the cinnamon roll, but still great.

The coffee here is just okay — it’s Starbucks coffee. But the pastries are wonderful, many of them are made in-​house. The marionberry scone in particular was very good. The one we had was still warm from the oven.

Coconut Lemon Scone :) yum! Husband said his coffee did not taste like Starbucks but better. Go early to get your pastry! Mine was the last one in the case.

I am from Seattle and don’t really care for Starbucks coffee. The coffee at Bald Eagle was surprisingly very good and tastes nothing like Starbucks. The scones are delicious! Service was very good and friendly.

Had breakfast there this morning. Good coffee is very important to me. I mean, VERY important. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that. I don’t drink any fancy drinks in the morning just a big cuppa strong hot coffee. This place has awesome expresso (quad shot here!) and great home baked goodies. Service is quick and friendly. Pleasant place to get a light meal for breakfast. Prices are reasonable, especially for Cannon Beach. Try it and you will soar.

WINNER of the «open coffee shops on Wednesday in Cannon Beach» challenge. Technically, there were only two contenders, Bald Eagle and Bella … but don’t take points off for the lack of competition. Bald Eagle wins fair and square.
We got a caramel cappuccino + a raspberry mocha cappuccino and enjoyed them both quite a bit. We also loved the marionberry scone and lemon poppyseed scone, both generously sized and perfectly baked. Service was quite friendly and we got that local vibe that we enjoy so much.
Bald Eagle is definitely worthy of your cappuccino-​on-​the-​coast cash, especially if you happen to be in town mid-​week when it feels like everything else is closed.

CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED, YIPPEE!
I’m still craving their Cheddar and Bacon Bagel. Toasted with tons of Cream Cheese. Hubby and I split one every morning and I always take the top half. More Yummy stuff on top. You have to get there EARLY to get one. Its popular and they sell out fast. I think its more popular than their enormous cinnamon rolls.
We find it extremely entertaining to watch all the people line up out the door into the sidewalk ordering their 2 shot decaf, one shot caf short skinny lattes. One person works the espresso machine, so the wait can be kind of long. Straight fresh brewed coffee at the self serve station is the way to go.

Even mid-​week, the last days of August find Cannon Beach chock full of us out-of-towners…and the line out the door at this coffee shop was no exception — EXCEPT for the fact that the line moved so fast I had my coffee in my hand in minutes.
The couple behind the counter (the owners, i believe) were a friendly and efficient duo who knew the orders of their regular customers and advance-​took the orders of the rest of us – making it not only a speedy and friendly experience, but delicious to boot. (and i mean deeLISH!!!)
It was our first stop each day for the whole trip :)

Bald Eagle Coffee is exactly what Cannon Beach has been missing for all these years. Dark, rich coffee, espresso bar and an excellent assortment of pastries.
European-​style café patio and window seating with an adjacent art gallery that adds a bit of ambiance. Also, great for a quick stop to grab a cup and snack.
One negative is that they currently don’t take cards (as of ³⁄₀₉)
Public parking across the street in the city public parking lot.
