    Crab cakes
    Ellena K.

    Cute little place in Oceanside. I loved the interior, tons of old pictures and decor. We stoped in for breakfast, had the pancakes and crab cakes. Both were pretty good, nothing super impressive. Service was very fast, especially for how busy they were. There was a decent amount of tables inside (and I think a patio), but I imagine it gets busy. I would love to come back for lunch or dinner. Menus had a pretty large variety too!

    Had a wonderful breakfast with my bestie at the Blue Agate. The place is very small with lots of ocean view windows. Lots of history on the walls of Oceanside. Tables are quaint with small jars with flowers on the table. We got there a little after 11:00 when they switch from breakfast to lunch. Even though it was past time, they still let me order breakfast. I got the chicken fried steak and it was delicious. It was a good portion but not too big and the steak was thin and crispy with peppery white gravy. Very delicious. The home made fried potatoes were really clean and cooked well. At first I just ordered sourdough toast but then I saw them deliver a big fluffy biscuit to another table. I asked the waitress if it was possible to get one of those instead if it wasn't too late. I offered to pay the difference but she said it was no problem. This was a light and freshly baked with jam and butter. Don't skip this if you go there. The company I was with, the view, the food and the service made this a highlight of my trip. Did I mention the beautiful beach is right across the street? Do not miss out on this amazing place. Your tummy will thank you.

    Beautiful scenery.

    View is stunning right from the table and very friendly service. Also the food was delicious.

    Clam chowder
    Nancy S.

    These are the nicest people! Great service, willing to chat when not busy. The food was great. I tried the Blue Agate fries which have cheese and pulled pork. The sauce was a little rich, but works with the fries. The chowder was good (but a little heavy on the black pepper). The fish tacos were awesome. And I love the berry lemonade. The shop is small, so prepare for a wait during busy season.

    Excellent for breakfast, next to our cabin, and across from The beach, location, location, location. The food was super yummy and big portions. We were not sure about the crab cake eggs combo but took a chance. It worked. The skillet potatoes were excellent, golden crispy outside and soft inside. Loved the biscuits, soft, warm, melted in each bite. Service was fantastic, family run business, the owner is lovely l, we had a nice conversation with her. They do have an outside patio.

    Steamer clams

    Nice friendly establishment that was one of the few restaurants open in the area. We had to wait 30 minutes for the breakfast menu to close out before they started serving lunch, but they communicated that very well I won't hold it against them. We had the crab cakes, steamer clams, and grilled rock bass. The steamer clams were a nice portion, but still had some sand in it. However there was a nice mix of onion and tomato broth plus buttered toast that it was quite satisfying. The crab cakes were a bit small for my taste and it felt like it could have used some more crabs. It was also a bit dense. The grilled rock bass was great - they ran out of rice but the side salad sub was not a bad choice. Overall, a solid place in the area!

    Perfect breakfast view. Crab cakes are lovely.

    Love this darling little cafe. Great breakfast, cozy setting. The waitstaff feel like they could be my auntie and the food is comforting and yummy. Parking is terrible as this is a teeny town.

    The food, service, and the cute beach decor made the whole experience amazing!!! We will be back:)

    Crab cakes with eggs over-medium
    Tim M.

    I definitely enjoyed the food here! Blue Agate is a small cafe right next to the beach, so you can fuel up and head over a few feet to the beach! The crab cakes are excellent, though I think they need more crab in them, and I think it would be amazing if they had a lemon glaze on them. But overall it's delicious. The breakfast burrito is excellent. Stuff with plenty of protein, and the size is pretty big, so you might want to share it if you eat less. Service is friendly and they seat you right away.

    Country Benedict, country fried steak and view of the ocean
    Emily K.

    On our last morning in cozy Oceanside, we decided to try this local place near the beach access. It's small and weathered, but was a great experience. Our waitress and who we presume to be the owner was very friendly and shared even history of the place. We ordered a coffee, the country benedict, country fried steak, and an orange juice. The food was delicious! Huge portions. I will mostly think about those potatoes, which were both soft and crispy. The owner was proud to share everything was made from scratch, and you can tell. The orange juice did get missed in the order, but we didn't mind and the owner was kind enough to take it off our bill. It's a little pricey of a breakfast, but you'll eat good and you can't beat the cozy location near the water!

 I did not see any outside seating

    Great coffee, I take it black wish my favorite breakfast places in Portland served this! If came in a large cup and kept offering me more. I was the only one there at 9am Monday, friendly waitress suggested the sausage omelet for savory or French toast for sweet over my third choice which you "can get anywhere" bacon and eggs. They turned it into scramble at my request, it was very good, but the potatoes were what I saved for my last bite.The first bite seemed a bit dry, not greasy (were they even fried?) but I really liked them. I also got toast and the jam was good, only one half piece was brown, not really worth $4 and I had plenty of food. As I finished another couple arrived. If you are using google don't turn right and if you do then take the first left (it did not look like much so I took the next one which was right next to it, and ended up on a tour of the town, the street was one way, and the next one was block by construction trucks, the third was ok but google wanted me to go the wrong way on a one way street! Luckily I had downloaded the maps here because there is no cell (or at least Verizon). When I got back I parked in front of the restaurant so not sure what is back there. Saw a bald eagle after breakfast.

    Fish sandwich
    Ben B.

    We were looking forward to our chance to eat a Blue Agate Café. The day we came they did not have any crab. All crab is prepared fresh and they did not get their catch in time for us to enjoy it. They have an ample menu that we choose from and found things we liked. Fish and chips - 3-4 stars - Nothing special. Not much to complain about. It's fish was fine. The fries were average. Fish sandwich - 5 stars - They provided two large pieces of fish in the sandwich. Both orders we had they both chose to take one fillet off and felt it was enough. The tartar sauce was excellent and paired great with the fish. Crab and shrimp melt - 5 stars - No crab so it ended up being a shrimp melt. He really liked it but he rarely eats slow enough to taste his food. Shrimp tacos - 5 stars - two tacos with a great sauce. She really enjoyed it. Had no complaints and had room to help others finish off their plates. Agate Fries - 3-4 stars - they were a mess. Very saucy pulled pork over a bed of fries. We do a lot of smoking of pork in the family and felt it was below par. Fries were average. Pulled pork sandwich - 3 stars - There is one in every family. You go to a restaurant by the coast and the order something they can get at home. He liked the sandwich but not as much as others he has had closer to home. A very convenient place right next to the beach. The pricing seemed a little on the high side but about right for the area. It was a bummer we did not have crabs as that was the one thing I was looking forward to ordering.

    Is this cafe still open? We drove from Lookout Cape and were disappointed it was closed. Hours say it's open now but called ahead this time and no one answered.

But given that we were there close to closing time and we had to get back to our Airbnb, we chose to take the food to go.

The clam chowder was warm and comforting, even though I had it after getting back to the Airbnb, and the fish and chips were perfectly fried and crispy without being too crispy. But the stand-out item was definitely the chocolate cake, which neither of us were expecting. We were expecting a dry, half-decent cake, but the cake we got was perfectly moist and rich without being overpoweringly rich and heavy. Definitely worth going to for just that cake, if nothing else!

The walls are alive with local art, colors dancing, Grateful Dead vibes everywhere you look. Even the menu's singing... dish names straight out of a setlist, like you're ordering breakfast at a show that never really ended. Now the Marionberry French toast... oh man. That one hits like a perfect riff at just the right moment. Sweet, rich, and laid back in all the right ways and like it knew exactly why you showed up. They've got fresh baked goods dialed in too and this is their thing, and you can taste it in every bite. Service? Kinda like a wandering solo... not always in sync, not always warm, but hey the music (aka the food) keeps the whole thing together. In the end, it's one of those places you stumble into and remember later with a smile. If the road ever brings us back through Pacific City, we'll swing by again and let it play on.

    As a self proclaimed clam chowder connoisseur I take the hunt for delicious clam chowder throughout…read morethe PNW coastal area very seriously. Each beach town my husband I travel to, I spend far too much time reading reviews about clam chowder. If only I spent as much energy in other areas of my life as I do "internet-researching" clam chowder, who knows what I could accomplish. I must say that the clam chowder at Werner Beef & Brew is exactly what I have been hunting for. It is the perfect texture and consistency. It has a spectacular balance of clam to potato ratio, and the potatoes are cooked to perfection. They don't have too much bite, nor do they disintegrate into mush the moment they enter your mouth. The chowder itself was worth traveling from Rockaway to Tillamook for. It was even worth a more industrial view vs. an establishment with a more coastal and picturesque backdrop. The salad bar was on point. The variety of salad add-ins, dressings, and topping crunchy-bits were epic. It was a nice balance to the very rich perfect chowder I am already missing. I miss it. I miss the chowder. My husband also got the fish tacos, based on others' reviews and enjoyed every bite. I enjoyed their Dragon Fruit Cider, and he ordered one of their Meaty Bloody Mary's. If you are on the fence if you should order one, you should. You should get that bloody mary. The bloody mary then led us to purchase some of their salami and bologna. It was an elevated version of the sandwich meat my grandpa used with white bread, yellow mustard (off-brand), ice burg lettuce, and a slice of cheddar cheese. Mid-life has me craving nostalgia.
