Stopped in on a whim on the way home from a weekend on the coast. It may have been the best meal of the weekend. Kaya has done a spectacular job on this cute, quaint, charming spot right off the highway. I haven't had a ton of crepes and chai tea lattes, but what I had today was tops. The parking is sparse, there may be a wait, and there is limited space, but once you leave, you're definitely satisfied and glad you went. I only wish we were closer so I could indulge all the time! read more

Don't waste your time, they'll waste it for you with a 30min wait time for two coffees

Service subpar and rude staff. I complained (nicely) that my hot cocoa was cold... yes I asked for it to not be hot since it was for my kid but I asked for it warm... not cold. Server got very irritated and blamed me but reluctantly made it again. Then after waiting 30 minutes for a simple order of crepes I said my drinks are likely cold at this point waiting so long and asked how much longer ... I was annoyed but in no way was I aggressive nor loud. Instead of apologizing I was told no never come back to their establishment with my attitude. This is crazy .... I think perhaps the server/owner was unstable, I sensed a distraught, off vibe the minute she took my order. She possibly should have just stayed home so patrons could have an enjoyable experience whilst on vacation. No need for me to go back. It was a messy unclean establishment anyhow with mid drinks and food. read more

The cafe is a cute little place, definitely doesn't have the capacity for a big crowd. The food was delicious even though the sweet crepe portion was a little small. However, the service was not the best. I must say, it was 10 am on a Sunday just about the breakfast rush hour. We ordered a sweet and savory crepe, a cappuccino, and a parfait. They told us it's about a 20-25 minute because the kitchen is busy but it eventually became a 45-55 min wait. When I got my bag they forgot the parfait. read more

Great breakfast!!! The four of us had great lattes and crepes!! A block off the highway so have to be alert!!

This was a real find in Depoe Bay Area! This charming little French crèperie served a breakfast from heaven. The choice of crepes was outstanding, and made it hard to choose just one. I settled for the Forest which was sheer delight in every bite. My companion had a mix of eggs and ham that he raved about in every bite. All was beautifully presented. We wanted to have a sweet crèpe, after the savory but we were full and decided to come back another time or ten to work our way through the entire menu. The little French neighborhood cafe was a feast for the eyes with some local artistry in book, prints and vintage clothes for sale, which didn't feel like just a merch dump but rather curated offerings. The service was first class. Fair warning, the neighborhood loves this place, as it seemed like so many stopped in for morning coffee and a pastry or a full crepe breakfast, so get there early if you want a table inside or out. I would eat here every morning if it were in my neighborhood. read more

A super lovely coffee and crepe spot! I love the calm interior. Not much seatings so be sure to come early. Their crepe selection was incredible. I went with the Fumé which was a smoked salmon and cream cheese crepe. Every crepe is made to order so there was a bit of a wait but it's worth it! My crepe was full of tasty smoked salmon and delectable cream cheese. Some of the better crepes I've had in awhile. read more

This little French bistro was a delightful find. We were looking for crepes and we found them here. Not all their choices were sweet which was a very nice change. Coffee and Chai, also not too sweet, were delicious with their selection of pastries. The service was young, pretty, friendly and helpful. Food came out quicker than expected. Just enough time to enjoy the coffee, atmosphere and books of poetry in the window sill. read more

We went here for our final breakfast, ending a lovely weekend at the coast. It was superb. My "oink" sandwich was so delicious, and so was the sautéed butter pear crepe with Nutella. The bitter sweet mocha was also such a delicious beverage along with the cappuccino we got. I would definitely recommend this place. The service and food were great. It has the Paris bistro vibe for sure. read more

Tucked away in Bella Beach - not Depoe Bay. The address is misleading. Cute corner cafe filled with locals enjoying coffee and treats. Each cafe table had patrons enjoying different specialties. My head was spinning with the possibilities! Savory and fruit pastries and crepes and croque monsieur and more. Coffee roasted by local favorite Left Coast Coffee. It is my go to. Current art on display is by Bella Beach local who creates beautiful watercolors of local scenes from Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach to Heceta and Yaquina Lighthouses as more. Pick up a card here to mail to a friend. Everyone loves a letter! Last but not least is the outside seating with Adirondack chairs in the sun. Stop by for coffee but stay to enjoy the food, chat and ambiance. read more

I loved this place before but the food is even better now. Really crazy good. Crepes are absolutely perfect. The staff is professional, personable, and courteous.

This is a sweet, tucked-away spot for a great latte and delicious crepes! Can get pretty busy with tourists in the weekend.

Food and service were great. Love this place and the extra items like homemade jam, books and to go were exceptional

Adorable little cafe with scrumptious food! The hubs, daughter and I split a savory and two different sweet crepes--all were out of this world! The fresh fruit was incredible, and the coffee hot. Staff were living examples of Oregon-Coast friendliness, and the space is just the cutest! Wonderful little spot. read more

I almost hate to say this, as they are already busy as all get out, which causes delay time. But trust me when I say, they are worth every darn minute that you spend waiting to enjoy what they make. I treated myself to their baked eggs? Something I had no Idea existed, I have since looked up some recipes, and will be doing this at home ....My wife had the Sausage with Fennel Crepe, and it was very good also. Some folks were in a hurry and did not have the time to wait for service. Frankly if you have the time to try this, do it! read more

We love going to this French cafe every time we go to the beach. It's conveniently located; about 3 minutes away from our condo. My husband went the day before this visit and bought some pastries to enjoy at our condo. My favorite was the pear tart. Today we came for breakfast. I ordered the veggie quiche and my husband had the shrimp crepe. Both were very delicious. I loved the presentation with the sliced fruit too. My only disappointment this time was receiving a hot chocolate instead of the mocha I ordered. I thought my drink tasted too chocolaty, but figured she put the whole amount of chocolate in, not less like I requested. When we finished, we checked out at the counter. She had the tablet facing her, so I asked if she could turn it around so I could see the charges. She seemed annoyed at my request, but complied. It turns out I was charged for hot cocoa! I told her I thought it tasted like hot cocoa, I ordered a mocha. She responded in an abrupt tone: "You said hot chocolate!" I reminded her that when I ordered I asked what kind of chocolate they use in the mochas and if she could use a little less. She again said: "You ordered hot chocolate!" My husband even heard me order a mocha. She obviously misheard. Later that day, I looked at the emailed receipt & there was a $1 charge for alternative milk. I wish I had noticed that at the restaurant, but I was more focused on what drink I was charged for. I called to question the charge since neither of us requested alternative milk. She said it was for the nonfat milk in my hot cocoa. I told her I've never heard of nonfat milk being considered alternative milk. She said anything other than whole milk is alternative and it's listed on the menu under alternative milks. I looked online and it specifically says oat milk, soy, etc is alternative. So there must be a different menu in house. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast and the pear crepe I ordered to go was delicious, even reheated. read more

Cafe C'est La Vie - Veggie Quiche with Fruit - Cafes Near Me - Depoe Bay, Oregon

I love this place, it's so charming and quaint. I come here every time we're here at the coast. Their lattes are the best, the almond croissants are so delicious, and their crepes are always delectable . I would of given it 5 stars but there is one little change they made in their cafe that I didn't like, they are selling used/vintage clothing and shoes ( that look as If they should be tossed). It totally takes away from the appearance and ambiance. I recommend that they get rid of the "rummage " sale. The staff were gracious and super polite to everyone that entered. What a pleasure and treasure of a place! read more

Let's just say this place is amazing in all ways we experienced. Read on for food stuff, but I want highlight the service first! First they pulled two tables together for our family. Right after we sat down our 2 year old vomited down herself and me. Yeah it was gross. Within seconds one of the employees had a huge stack of napkins for me (without me asking). 10 seconds after that he had spray sanitizer, paper towels, and a garbage can. The action by the staff was amazing, and made us feel less awkward about the situation. All the while they were still attending to other patrons, and making sure everyone was welcomed! They still offered us normal service, and were patient with us as we cleaned up our mess, took care of the kiddo, and decided whether or not we would dine in or out. Once we ordered we went outside, just in case the babies tummy wanted to mess anything else. While we watched for our order on their counter, we waited. Before we even got a chance to go in and get it they brought out the order. They asked how much plastic ware we needed and ran in to get that. The food was also amazing, but even if it wasn't I would go back just to support this staff! Now the food! YUM! We got the Smoked Salmon crepes, Lemon and Blueberry crepes, blackberry cream crepes, and strawberries and cream crepes! ALL of them were beautiful, tasty, and just absolutely wonderful! The blackberry was the biggest hit for the family, we all would eat it daily if we could. But, I'm not gonna lie, the Smoked Salmon crepe was to die for, though super rich! Had I eaten the fruit provided with the smoked salmon crepe it probably would have toned down the richness, but.... I didn't wanna waste space in my tummy with fruit, when I had more smoked salmon crepes to eat! So overall, everything we experienced here is !! read more

Is there a better morning French cafe on the Oregon coast. I doubt whether any can top C'est La Vie - that's life! This small cafe is the perfect place to linger over a cappuccino and croissant, or any of the house made pastries on the morning menu. Their crepes come both sweet or savory. As for service our lovely barista, Ally is equal parts sweet and efficient. The setting is cozy with plenty of French decor items. The location is midway between Lincoln City and Depot Bay in a cute community called Bella Beach. Bella is of course French for beautiful. The musical ambience was perfect for morning, yet I'm hoping Ally will find room to add "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize" by Corina Harry and "Tous Les Garçons et Les Filles" by Francoise Hardy. read more

Gluten free review: This place is so yummy! We were actually able to eat a crêpe! They have savory or sweet. I chose sweet crêpes with decaf vanilla latte. It was such a treat. The crêpes were delicious and the coffee smooth. If around the area I would stop by. Such a cute little spot. read more

Blown away. Cute. Quaint. Interesting. Perfect. One of the best stops I have made while traveling in a long time. The food is phenomenal and the coffee is perfect. The service was friendly but laid back. It was a perfect experience. I have to say I don't use the word perfect in any of my reviews but I truly don't have any negative comments. Try everything. The crepes were French and delicious. The homemade croissants were out of this world . You will not be disappointed. Parking was a bit of a challenge :) read more

Really quaint little café. Honestly, the service could've been better but because of the whole COVID-19 thing, I will cut them a break. We sat in our seats for about 10 minutes before someone took our order. I think there was some confusion as to who was covering our section. Once we ordered and received our food I don't think my wife and I said a word the entire meal because we are too busy stuffing our face. She had a savory crêpe which isn't really my thing but she loved it. I went for the berry crêpe and it was phenomenal. I also had a chocolate croissant that was a little too done on the top but incredibly tasty. If you are in the area, give this place a shot. It is definitely worth your time. read more

So disappointed! Hoping to get a tasty latte, a delicious pastry, and a little French vibe... none of that here. We ordered two lattes which were undrinkable -- no flavor, somewhat bitter -- with "almond" croissants -- just a few almond pieces sprinkled on top, chewy and not properly laminated. 50's music blaring -- just something missing here. Fortunately, we were staying close by and able to return to our condo where we could fix our own coffee plus enjoy an ocean view. Can't say we didn't try to patronize a local business, but this place wasn't for us. read more

The irony of the outside shop sign saying to "treat people with kindness", service with a smile is not a thing here. Very rude barista. Made our family very uncomfortable with her condescending comments. read more

We love staying at the Bella beach neighborhood. Fortunately this time we were literally across the street. Crepes don't really travel well. We got the sweet cream and Nutella crepes. They were excellent. The four year old devoured it. Not too thin and not too thick. I got the croque madame. I'm not a huge fan of mustard so I wished I had gotten the Dijon sauce on the side but after a couple bites it really was a necessary part of it. Lots of ham and an amazing bread. It's all about the bread right? My wife got the egg sandwich. Again awesome bread. Not quite heated through but high quality. The proprietors and very helpful and friendly. I'll definitely be back!! read more
