We were surprised with a lovely Christmas vacation in our beloved Pacific City. This morning was our last day at the beach house, and we decided to go out for brunch at Grateful Bread. We were not disappointed! The restaurant consists of a smallish (6-8 table) dining room, plus a 4-6 table sun porch. We were invited to seat ourselves, and opted for the sun porch, sunny and bright with lovely views of the bay across the road. The menu was just too much - I wanted this, that, this, omg that sounds so good. I chose the smoked salmon scramble, Mr opted for the farmer's omelette (ham, cheese, onion), teen picked French toast (with a delicious apple compote on the side), and tween chose blueberry pancakes. I very rarely like diner coffee, but Grateful Bread's house brew was so good, I had three cups! Mr, a coffee snob, loved it, too. Service was fast and friendly. The tween's pancakes were bigger than his head! They were two pancakes that were the size of the entire plate, with syrup and powdered sugar on the side. The teen's French toast was thick and creamy, and he devoured the compote. Both Mr and I opted for biscuits over toast, and oh my, they were good. I am a Southern girl who knows a good biscuit, and this was a good biscuit - light, flaky, not too dense. Both of us got two huge biscuits on our plates, along with home potatoes. I didn't care for the potatoes and gave them to the bottomless stomach teen. My salmon scramble was very good, with quite a bit of house-smoked salmon. My only complaint was that it was a bit salty - maybe that would have been tempered by a bit more egg or some milk in the egg before scrambling. Mr loved his omelette. Our water and coffee were filled routinely, and we had the pleasure of dining next to a group of older gentlemen who apparently have frequent breakfasts together - they talked about anything and everything! Reminded me of my grandpere and his friends having coffee at the local diner. I would definitely recommend Grateful Bread for breakfast, brunch or lunch if you're in Pacific City (or even traveling through)! As we left, there was a chalkboard listing the daily special - a turkey sandwich with spinach and bacon on sourdough bread. If I wasn't so full, I'd have gotten that to go! Note that, like many PC places, Grateful Bread is closed Tues & Weds. read more

Adorable locally owned bakery/cafe serves up absolutely delicious baked goods and wonderfully inventive dishes and soups. We visited PC for a week and literally couldn't stay away. Savory ham and cheese scones to die for. I wish I had a bakery like this nearby, but my waistline would suffer! Don't miss this gem! read more

We got there early for breakfast, and boy I am glad we did, the place filled up fast, and there was a line for seats out the door. I have never had better French Toast! I will be back the next time I am in town...going to work my way through the menu! The waitresses are friendly, and as hectic as the place was, were very fast. read more

First and foremost, the food was delicious. I had the veggie sandwich, my fiancé had the tuna melt, and we both had some of the shrimp chowder. However, between waiting for a table (1pm on a Sunday - the place was hopping!) and waiting for our food, the whole experience lasted almost two hours. Grateful Bread would really benefit from a host, especially at such busy times. No one who walked in really knew how to get their name on the list, and it would have been nice to get an idea of how long the wait would be. read more

Clean and bright - I love all of the natural light streaming in. We sat in the room off the side, which I quite liked because it was a fairly sunny day (yet chilly with the wind), so being enclosed was welcome. Tie-dye shirts and colorful teddy bears pay homage to the Grateful Dead and thus, the name. We came in around 1pm and they were pretty busy. We stood around for quite some time before even being acknowledged and then even longer until being seated despite 3 clean empty tables just waiting for patrons. Oh well, they were busy. The food was delish! It was a shame they were out of so many things, though. By the time we got there, they were out of biscuits and the scones and breads were very picked over. But my mother liked her scramble and my gallo pinto was interesting. Very colorful and lots of flavor but very filling. We split the ginger pancakes. Those were gooood - as soon as they came out they smelled just like gingerbread. But upon biting into them, they weren't sweet at all (which I liked!). It was refreshing to have such a well-made pancake without the loaded sugary-ness hiding the real ginger flavor. I did use syrup, but sparingly :) Our waitress was nice and was prompt with all of our needs. My only complaint is upon leaving (as with arriving), overall staff didn't seem very friendly. My mother said goodbye to the woman working behind the bakery counter and she didn't even smile back. It was more like a cold hard stare...? Not sure, maybe she had a hectic morning, but geez at least pretend to be polite! Regardless, I would return. It's a nice little find super close to the beach. read more

Probably THE place for breakfast in and around Pacific City. Absolutely, definitely the best Grateful Dead-themed breakfast place for miles around. Great bread, very good (if somewhat out of the mainstream) breakfast choices with excellent preparation and service. If you don't get here early on the weekends there will be a line out the door. read more

Ok, so I was in need of some good morning baked goods, and from the reviews thought this would be the place to go. I picked out a savory scone that bacon and cheddar $2.50, a marionberry scone also $2.50 and a cinnamon roll at $2.75. The cashier charged me $11.25. Now I might not be a math wiz but last time I checked the total should have only come to $7.75. When I pointed this out to the cashier she assured me that she had rung me up correctly. I continued to state that was not the right total, but I was in a hurry so I just paid the $11.25. The bacon cheddar scone was amazing. The marionberry was also good. The cinnamon roll was disappointing, not a fan of raisins. Overall it was a decent place to get a quick breakfast to-go but make sure you check the total on your bill. read more

my daughter and her friend ,whom are visibly pregnant went here one day as they often did for lunch,they each ordered an 8oz cup of soup, a small salad, and 1/2 sandwich. The staff could be heard discussing their condition,and what they felt was too big of an order of food for two girls, pregnant or not. Their waitress came and recommended they downgrade their food order. The girl's were starving or they would have just got up and left. They informed the waitress that they had ordered what they wanted,and they did not want to change their order based on the waitresses reccomendation. When at a later date, the owner was told what happened,she insisted my daughter and her friend were being untruthful because she was confident her waitresses were just being helpful. JUST WOW; HOW RUDE CAN YOU GET! Sad way to treat any customer,but especially the locals, the Heart of your business. read more

FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!! If you visit or drive through Pacific City, you absolutely must eat here. The baked goods are incredible, all baked fresh daily by the owner and master baker, from what we were told. Best bacon, best biscuits, best egg scrambles, best coffee, best bread, best desserts, best EVERYTHING. I have not had a breakfast or brunch that has ever topped this experience. read more

So pleased with my experience here. During a weekend at the beach house with my friends who grew up coming here, they took me to THIS lovely spot for Sunday lunch. Sorry about that horrible grammar for a moment. The food was delicious, I was able to eat gluten-free and the service was AMAZING. They have really tasty Marion berry gluten-free scones and also a chocolate chip peanut butter cookie that was GF that I still dream about to this day, and I was here two weeks ago, haha. Definitely plan on having to wait before you sit down- this place is popular. While waiting, get some coffee and a cookie (they can open a tab for you) and go for a walk down the road and by the time you're back they'll have a table ready for you. Good for groups and children too. I'll be back whenever I'm back in Pacific City! read more

I love the Grateful Bread, their terrific menu and friendly staff. They're closed for maintenance until 2/16/18 -- pulled up to that sad news this morning -- driver of car next to us said, "That's okay, we'll wait!" I agree! read more

I wish I could eat here every day, for every meal. When you walk in, you're completely stunned by the beautiful baked goods in the display case. At least, I was. I couldn't even move away from that case to be seated, I was so captivated by the gooey carrot cake, giant muffins and cookies (seriously, they're almost as big as my head), the pretty loaves of bread. Mmmm. I was in heaven when I walked in... It was great to see that all the staff were women. Not sure if it's owned by women, too, but that would make it even cooler. Our server was super friendly and laid back, since we were the only people there. We ate on the sunny deck. I had a hard time choosing from the menu because everything looked delicious and my brain was still stuck on the carrot cake. I opted for my usual sandwich: tuna on multi-grain, with swiss and lettuce only. It was perfect! The prices were super reasonable, too, and I love the Grateful Dead decor/lyrics in the bathroom. :) I don't remember what my husband had to eat for lunch because, again, I was entirely focused on getting to the carrot cake. When I did, I closed my eyes throughout most of the experience, opening them only to get another forkful of love. My husband said he was full, then had one bite...and another...and another. :) That damned carrot cake was the best thing since sliced bread...pun intended! I wanted to get a to-go bag of breads, muffins, cookies, and more cake, but we were on the road, so I had to say goodbye and close with the most scrumptious cake I've had in years. I will dream of this place until I can come back again. In the meantime, is there any way they can open an affiliate in Portland? PLEASE?? read more

Excellent breakfast/lunch option in Pacific City. Upon entry, the wafts of bakery smells will up your hunger. This busy cafe offers delicious baked goods and espresso to go, or diners can stay and enjoy hearty breakfast and lunch items like scrambles, pancakes, sandwiches, salads, wraps, soup and more. I have tried and loved their biscuits & gravy, hang town fry with local oysters, turkey dip sandwich on house-made baguette, and the delicious breakfast dish Gallo Pico with seasoned rice and beans topped with scrambled eggs, salsa, sour cream and corn tortillas. There are several vegetarian options and a couple for vegans. I'm not sure if they offer eggs cooked any way other than scrambled, but have not asked. Service is prompt and friendly, coffee is refilled often, and the warm noisy atmosphere is comfortable and great for families. read more

Totally cute spot for breakfast and bread. I love the Challah bread and the carrot cake - so delish! The staff is super friendly and always have a smile. The food is also reasonably priced and a yummy. If you are going to head to the Oregon Coast, this is definitely a place to check out. The only con about the place is they are not open for dinner service. Also, I believe they have a drive thru - but I haven't used it. The place is so cute inside, its better to enjoy the interior along with the delicious smells. read more

This place makes amazing carrot cake. I called ahead and ordered a cake as we were celebrating a birthday in Pacific City. The owner was so sweet, we were getting in late and she gave me her cell phone and was willing to open up if they had closed before we arrived. That's service. The cake was so moist and the frosting was the perfect sweetness. Will def be heading back to try more goodies. read more

The food was delicious, staff were friendly, prices were reasonable and portions, overall, were generous. We had breakfast here on a late Saturday morning. There was no wait, however, this may not be the norm considering the time of year and flooding going on today. We enjoyed their blueberry pancakes, which were BIG. We also had a Costa Rican breakfast item, but I'm forgetting the name.. it was good. Black beans, rice, eggs, and two tortillas with salsa and sour cream. Our third and final item was scrambled eggs with biscuits and potatoes. The total came to $19.85 plus tip. The only criticisms I could give is that they were out of gravy, so I couldn't have biscuits and gravy, and they didn't fill up our waters in a timely manner. But that's just nitpicking. read more

Truly the best breakfast I've had in years! The Shakedown Street was perfect. The biscuits were light, fluffy, and anything but dry. And the potatoes were nice and crispy and perfectly seasoned. My coffee cup was always full- the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere! I'll be back any time I'm on the Oregon coast! read more

Absolutely charming cafe with excellent service and, not kidding, the best tuna melt I've ever eaten. Beautiful sunroom for a summer day made the eating experience even better. Our server went above and beyond, finding us the last tray of the delicious-looking chocolate cheesecake brownies, one of many baked goods that I wanted to eat immediately. Will definitely be back tomorrow to try out the breakfast fare. read more

Grateful Bread - Linda, our waitress was outstanding. Ask for her! - Bakeries Near Me - Cloverdale, Oregon

Perfect! We loved our breakfasts here. Good food, very nice and helpful staff. The fresh baked biscuits are to die for! Besides the meal food, they have a variety of baked goods, including some delicious scone flavor combinations. If you are in Pacific City, or Cape Kiwanda, or Cloverdale, or within a 50 mile radius of this place...make a point to stop and eat! read more

Absolutely wonderful place. We came here three mornings in a row while staying in Pacific City. Food was great every time and the prices are very very reasonable. One of the best things about the place was the staff. They were always friendly, everyday (even when our 3-year old accidentally knocked his hot chocolate off the table the first day). Maybe a place just attracts nice employees when the uniform includes a tie-dye shirt - regardless, it was wonderful to start each morning like that. Food is great, too! By far - best place we went to in this beautiful coastal haven. One last thing, the place is clean and comfortable. Great job Grateful Bread! read more

Always amazing. The food is always spectacular! The bread is especially amazing, but every dish I've had here is great. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Tried to eat everything on the menu in one day, it's that good. Savory breakfast scone, cinnamon raisin bread and baguettes of the day (cheddar & great onion). Dory caught Tuna Melt, soup n salad. So delicious. Day 2 we are the Thai Wrap and two soups. Love this place! read more

Had really high hopes going in and was unfortunately let down. Service was good and friendly but the food was just not that good. Wishful thinking that a bread place would have gluten free bread but unfortunately not the case. We had an omelette which didn't seem too fresh, clam chowder and a salad. The chowder was the last cup from the pot and it tasted like it. The salad was just okay. The highlight was in fact the bread that came with the soup/salad...now that was good. read more

Spicy Thai peanut wrap with the chowder was a great tasting and filling; the blueberry pancakes were also quite good. The service was fast and efficient :) read more

Best breakfast in town. They are back open for in-person dining & demonstraing great efforts for safety. The great full bread did enormous work to feed hungry people in the community during the pandemic. Cant say enough about the great people who work here & the awesome food! The drive through is an awesome resource too. read more

Love this place. First found it by accident now we go on purpose. The food is great, the baked goods are amazing. The flavor combos of the baked goods are heavenly. Scones, breads ..you name it. I brought my new wife here in March and I have no doubt we will be back. She LOVED the French toast. I had the Mayan bowl. Only way to make the Mayan bowl better is with chorizo! read more

Stopped here for some late lunch after a hike at Cascade Head, got the Puerto rican egg dish which was pretty good. Sevice was nice as well.

Amazing breakfast!!!! Portions are giant and food is just what parents and kids were craving. Karen was the most gracious, kind, welcoming server. Highly recommend. Thank you Karen! read more

Me and my husband went here for a breakfast two days in a row, because this place is simply gorgeous. The staff remembered us, including my food sensitivities! We spent time with great pleasure. Oh, that bakery smell!!! If you are fond of cozy places, it is a must-visit. Will definitely be looking forward to visiting again. Thank you read more

Well butter my bum and call me a biscuit... this place is still here. 5 years ago we stumbled up on this amazing, wonderful, delicious bread and pastry shop and figured it was too good to be true. Yet on our return pass through Pacific City there sat Grateful Bread in its cozy cottage shell. Inside the old house has been transformed into café and full bakery and catering service. Many come in to grab treats to go, others (like us) stay for lunch from their extensive breakfast, sandwich, soup & salad, and vegetarian menu. Prices are beyond reasonable for the filling breakfast or lunch you get. They have a few brews on tap and the coffee is piping hot. No wonder those garcia bears are dancing. read more

Umm..the smell of fresh baked bread wafts in the air as you exit your car. That scent is followed by the smell of fresh ground coffee beans...yes, this place is heavenly! The bread here is truly tasty! I had a wonderful brown bread with cherries. We toasted it up for breakfast along with eggs and some pork fat. Heavenly!!! Nice variety of rolls, baguettes, loaves and demi loaves. Not for the carb conscience! read more

This is a bakery which also serves breakfast and lunch. It's a cozy atmosphere, and probably the best breakfast in Pacific City. Their breakfast choices are tasty but limited. You won't find pancakes, waffles, or hashbrowns here. The omelets and scrambles are good, and the toast is magnificent, homemade I think. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. read more

Really nice and delicious food. However, they are closed often and can be pretty expensive. The drive thru is definitely not the best idea because it doesn't offer the entire experience. Pastries are amazing, but the pancakes are even better read more

YUM!! Amazing service and better food. Pop in for a quick bite if you're in the area!

This was an absolutely wonderful find. All of it was perfectly wonderful. Waited a while for the food, but it's post COVID, and we find that everywhere. Highly recommended. read more

Simply delightful! Their biscuits and gravy are really flavorful (wow, that gravy!!) and they have a great selection of pastries (scones, cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc). We had them box up a couple of scones and a cookie for our hiking adventures later in the day and they made wonderful snacks. They also had amazing looking baguettes, unfortunately we didn't get one of them (next time!). The staff was a hoot and super polite. They looked like they were all having a lot of fun! Speedy with our order as well. They were a lot of fun! read more

Great place - friendly staff, the sun room is bright and airy -- and great fresh food, omelets are big and full of great ingredients, all the bread is made in house! Came here with my family - we've been to Pacific City a number of times - but never stopped in this local gem before. Killer Challah French toast (airy, perfect crust and a little eggy) to quote my picky daughter "omg this is soooooo good". The portions are really big, you won't leave hungry - if you're in Pacific City be sure to come by to get some baked goodness or have a meal. read more

Gluten free breads? Yes please! Glute. Free scones. Yum! To many vegetarian dishes only one stomach. The scarlet begonias was so good. So much food i couldn't finish it. Potatoes delicious. Coffee was always full. Same with waters. Service was on point. read more
