Came for lunch. Place is clean, employees are nice. Had a mimosa, hamburger, and potato salad. Mimosa tasted like the industrial cleaning soap that is used at restaurants/bars. My friends convinced me that it was in my head and the more I drank the better it tasted, but... the food was not much better. The hamburger patty looked like something someone who had never had a burger before might cook. It was flat/so well done there was almost nothing left to it, over seasoned and served on a "brioche bun," which actually was a hoagie bun. The meat only took up 2/3 of the bun but thank goodness because it tasted like a freezer burned Salisbury Steak that had survived a TV dinner from the 1990s. The potato salad was actually just homefries swimming in a juicy mayonnaise mix, disappointing in texture and meh flavor but was the best tasting thing in front of me. Giving three stars because the owner was really nice, the place is cute and I was the only one disappointed. Everyone else in my group either got quiche or a breakfast item and they were all so happy that they got dessert for the road. If I go back for a second try I will update my review. read more

Great food, best pancakes i've ever had. amazing service, got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. very homey feel to this cafe, honestly this is the best breakfast place i've been to in a long time. We also got the philly cheesesteak, and it was arguably the best philly we've ever had. Our servers name was Ashely, she was extremely hospitable and seemed genuinely happy to be here, which is always great. If you're in seaside and looking for a breakfast/lunch place to go, come here!!! 11/10 read more

I really wanted prime rib over the holidays but it didn't happen. I saw a post on Facebook that they would be doing prime rib for 24.95 and thought why not. Well, it did not disappoint. It was exactly what I wanted. The cafe is super cute inside and the staff were personable and attentive. You even get a nice view of the river while you're eating. read more

The food, service, and ambiance were great for this small restaurant. The server and the chefs were most hospitable. The decorations were cute. My son enjoyed the huge chalk and small chalk to play tic tac toe. I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict which was very good. My son had the Muffin egg sandwich which disappeared quickly. My wife had the special- spinach quiche which also disappeared quickly. I like the self serve coffee station and we took a large chocolate chip cookie (just out of the oven) for our journey to Newport. We shall return to the Chalkboard Cafe for our next visit to Seaside Oregon!!! read more

Wonderful! We wanted an early breakfast before we started our drive. We had our pick of fresh muffins and pastries hot from the oven, and the service was fun and casual. The Vietnamese coffee was delicious, and I struggled to finish the Redneck Benedict, and her quiche was savory with a flaky crust. A little salt was all we needed to add. Very glad we went! read more

This is a fairly new establishment operated by a very nice couple, right on the river. It's such a quaint little spot and the food was spectacular. My sisters had the quiche (one of my sisters is GF and can't eat pork and they easily accommodated her!) and I had a half order of biscuits and sausage gravy. I usually think I make it better, but OMG not this time, this was sooooo good! They make everything from scratch and the biscuits were also to die for. Ya just gotta try this place! read more

Food was delish. Ambiance isn't fancy but highly recommend. Service was also on point.

awesome food (especially baked goods) and service and the chalk and other artwork by patrons is amazing.

Cute adorable place with so much to see while you wait for your yummies. I had the Philly cheese steak and the backcountry Benedict. The Benedict was very heavy but good. Great if you are starving. I really liked the Philly cheese steak. The mulberry pastry was also good. Just enough creaminess and flaky crust. The service was friendly. It does take a bit to cook since they cook upon order. Seems like a great kid friendly place. Especially with the pretty mural! I loved it! read more

The food and services was great. I was drawn here by their sign saying "The best Philly Cheesesteak" which is a bold claim. They did not disappoint. The baked goods are also great. I ate the Chocolate Chip Cookie before I took the pictures. If you're in Seaside, try them out. read more

Amazing service and amazing food a must have escape breakfast. Rednick was amazing and large portion.

What a hidden gem that we managed to find while on a roadtrip through Oregon! Dana took such good care of us and the owner was super nice too. Cafe is so charming and just about everything is made in house. We devoured the biscuits and gravy and a breakfast sandwich. Both were heavenly. What a treat! read more

What an amazing small cafe! The food was amazing and the service was perfect. A great place to eat

Locally sourced, scratch made comfort food. Staff very attentive! Small space otherwise a great experience

Best Philly cheesesteak ever. 5 out of 5. The beef is from a ribeye cut, locally sourced and melt in your mouth tender. Sauced perfectly. Grilled red bell pepper and onion. Buns are really fresh, grilled and oven roasted. Good thickness and not too much bread. Delightful seating by the river. Table service with a smile. Don't miss this place!!!! read more

Food was good, employees were lost! Kept repeating our order wrong then they served tables that were there before us and still got our order wrong....guy behind the grill was a joke as he cooked us fried eggs and we ordered scrambled..... ....disconnected....but the pastries looked fantastic.... read more

Chalkboard Cafe - Dungeonous Crab Quiche - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Great food, nice ambiance-- cozy, warm, right on the river! Nice owners and staff. Well thought out menu. Just all around good.

My mom and I are visiting and saw this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did. The cheesesteaks were delicious (my mom used to from philly and knows her cheesesteaks!} and the macaroni and potato salads were great as well. The bread was chewy with a slight crisp exterior and the grilled onions were fabulously seasoned, adding the perfect compliment to the meat. Angela , the owner, was so friendly and we enjoyed chatting while waiting for our to go order. We will be back every time we're here as it's a gem. Thank you! read more

If you are in Astoria and need a charming place to eat, check out Chalkboard Cafe. They serve breakfast ALL day. The menu is on the smaller side, not overwhelming. I got the French Cousin (dip) with cheddar cheese and a side of the red potato salad. I am super picky about my French dips. They are never seasoned enough for me. This one was PERFECT! Every bite was so good I was sad when I was full with half a sandwich left. The potato salad was really good as well. We sat outside and were entertained by the local seagull thief. We fondly named him Steven. read more

Their Philly cheesesteak is the best I ever had! I just wish it was a bit bigger and that the bread was a bit more crispy.

Very busy when we arrived but server waited on us as quickly as she could. Portions were huge and food was delicious! Quirky, cute atmosphere with some outside seating. Would go there again if we return to Seaside. We were sorry we didn't discover it sooner. read more

I ordered the Philly Breakfast Sandwich. It was great! Fresh grilled peppers, onions, and sausage. I left very satisfied!!!

Limited seated inside. Order and pay at counter, self service coffee. Limited menu but great at what we had. For those that like sausage gravy. They do it well. Big biscuits and very filling for the price. I would add option of sausage patty for Redneck Benedict vs chicken. Wife liked the red potatoes. They do have outside seating but to cold right now on the coast. Inside is busy and tight for a Saturday morning. Show early to get a table inside. Would recommend as a good breakfast vs. Pig and pancake, to get away from the high price and tourist crowd. read more

Missed 1st by an hour. This place is amazing. Very reasonably priced. I got the Redneck Benedict. Crumbly biscuit, delicious chicken thighs, a fried egg, smothered in country gravy. This is what I want as my last meal. Staff were super friendly and I may come back again before the end of my vacation. They have a Pork Belly Pho on special right now that's calling my name. Addition: Grabbed a gluten-free lemon crinkle cookie to go and oh my goodness! It's so lemony and delicious! Went again a day later. Staff continued to be wonderful and very passionate about the restaurant. Lemon Crinkle cookie was slightly different, which tells me they are absolutely homemade and they care about the quality of the food they're selling. Today's was just as tasty, but a little thicker and slightly less crispy. I would eat one of these cookies everyday if I lived locally. read more

Cutest little cafe! The owner was our server. Offered to make gravy with no sausage for me. GF items galore. I had the portobellos for my "meat". So so good. Took a muffin and cookie for later! We will be back. read more

Thought the food was descent. Seemed crowded but friendly. Turns out the creepy staff member who kept coming up to talk to us,repeatedly interrupting us,was The owner!Honestly, he needs to brush his teeth. Other than him, it's one of the better places you can eat at in Seaside. read more

My wife and found the Chalkboard Cafe nestled off of Broadway. A small quaint place with charm and a friendly staff. We ordered a bowl of split pea and ham soup, shared a Philly cheese steak sandwich with a side of macaroni salad and a muffin sized cheesecake with Marionberries on top. All the food was delicious and well worth the price which was reasonable. I enjoyed it so much I came back for breakfast the next morning. When visiting Seaside, don't miss this little delight of a place. read more

Amidst our OR coast vacation dining experience, my family and I decided to take a break from seafood and go for a plain ol' sandwich. Our expectations were not high -- we were just cold, hungry, and needed some sustenance at an ordinary restaurant in between souvenir shopping stops. Our first clue that our experience was not going to be ordinary was the decor -- what an interesting looking and inviting place, with a way cool mural on the wall, custom-made tables with gorgeous inlays, and an abundance of tasteful items and photos adorning the interior. The staff all wore tie dyed outfits and were very welcoming. I wish I had thought to take photos of our food, because the dishes were amongst the best we've ever had and I would have loved to have posted images of what they looked like for this review. I ended up having the quiche, and my wife and mother-in-law split the philly cheese steak sandwich. Wow! I had to steal a bite of the sandwich, which was generously stuffed with slices of ribeye steak, green and red peppers, and cheese. I am trying to improve upon my own quiche recipe, so I had to have theirs. It was the best quiche I've ever had. I had all sorts of questions on how Chalkboard's quiche was made, and the owner/chef Ken came out and gave me all sorts of pointers on his quiche prep. It turns out that Ken has formal training as a chef and decades of experience in high end restaurants. Preparing the Chalkboard menu items constitutes a very, very small percentage of Ken's culinary skill set, and quite frankly is child's play for him; however, focusing on that comparatively narrow menu allows Chalkboard to deliver food that is consistent and of superior quality. I need to come back to the decor and outfits. Ken's wife and Chalkboard co-owner Angela painted the large mural on the wall, and her son made the beautiful inlaid tables. Ken makes all the tie dyed outfits worn by the staff, and the tie dyed t-shirts and aprons are for sale in the store. I love that Ken and Angela have poured so much of their versatile artistry into this establishment. Overall, what started as a simple meal amidst sightseeing turned out to be the highlight of our day. We will be returning to sample more of Ken's cooking, and to see our new friends before we leave. read more

Super fresh and super friendly. Not only was the food fantastic - and at very reasonable prices - but they offered a bunch of tips for seeing the local area. The buttermilk biscuit is huge and very tasty! Highly recommend for a good breakfast and good conversation. read more
