We decided to stop by for a few baked goods. You could tell everything was fresh and had that homemade feel. We had the cinnamon rolls and they are a Must buy! Fresh and fluffy. Lots of seating and a great view of the Bay Area. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday morning right when they opened. It's in a cute building that is a former Masonic Lodge, so it has lots of character. The very friendly staff person walked us through all the pastries in the case, all of which are made in house. We got a raspberry brioche that was delicious and a marionberry scone that also was quite tasty. We also split a couple breakfasts - an omelette that came with hashbrowns and homemade bread and the special crab quiche. Also ordered a couple bottomless drip coffees and a vanilla steamer for the kids to split. Everything was excellent. We also felt like it was a quality place, because they have real fruit jellies on the table plus Mrs. Meyers handsoap in the bathroom - small things, but they matter. Cost also seemed more than reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely delicious , charming & a view. Not to diss Wanda's but I much preferred Handy Creek in Wheeler! The peach scone was sumptuous & moist - hello butter & cream. The crab quiche special was delicious & the sausage omelet was fantastic too. No wait - we waited almost an hour at Wanda's on Tuesday. read more

Super cute and quaint, beautiful view of Nehalem River. Brioche pastry and breakfasts were very good. This didn't bother us, but the service is on "beach time", so be prepared for some time to sit and relax. We loved the vibe, very casual and "local". read more

Found this cute little place while traveling through. My daughter got a cinnamon roll, which she loved. It was very flavorful and moist. I got an AMAZING strawberry cream cheese filled pastry! The filling was warm and the perfect level of sweet and creamy. I didn't catch the name of the dessert, but will definitely be heading back for more. read more

We stopped for breakfast at the homey, sweet cafe along Hwy 101. Fresh baked goods! Cappuccinos and lattes were great. Bacon was thick and crispy, and they've got all the basics for breakfast. I'd stop again when in the area! Nice folks running it. Service was not too quick but we were a group of eight. read more

Coffee and donuts here are incredible! Highly recommend this place if you're passing thru and not in too much of a hurry. read more

Homemade cinnamon roll and an INCREDIBLE homemade maple bar. Wow! The hubby and I were just rolling through and needed a cup of coffee and a bakery item for the road home, we are so glad we stopped here! She warmed the cinnamon roll for me and it was delicious, my almond latte was perfect (not too sweet, tasted like Starbucks honestly, but $2 less than a Starbucks latte!) and the maple bar donut changed our life. I wanted to turn the car around to get more!!! If we find ourselves rolling through this cute little beach town again we will definitely give some items on their breakfast menu a try. Yum! read more

Had breakfast here one morning before I had to return to Portland and catch my flight home and had some delightful blueberry pancakes and fresh-made thick slices of bacon. Had a gorgeous view of the bay and the lady who runs the place is really friendly and open. If I actually lived in Portland, I would have no hesitation in taking some cinnamon rolls and baked goods home because they looked amazing. You can really tell people take their time in making the food here. read more

My family and I stopped at Handy Creek Bakery on a road trip of the Oregon coast to grab some quick bakery items and coffee. The eating area is beautiful and serene and the quality of food is amazing. Handy Creek Bakery is an exquisite family bakery that deserves all the best! Hopefully we will be back soon read more

If you're traveling through, stop by this quaint bakery for something homemade to eat and a confectionery desert. My husband and I passed by, not noticing that it was a resturant as well as a bakery, until we were already past it. We looked at other options to eat but for whatever reason chose the former. We both ordered the quiche that came with a soup. The food was super good. Just a bona-fide of Grandma's cooking as cliché as that might sound. We each got something for desert and hit the road. read more

Food is fresh. High priced. Service? Didn't exist. We felt as if we were inconviencing the waitress. One cup of coffee the whole time we were there. And it arrived after our food. Never checked back. Very poor service. The empty tables on a Saturday morning while the other restaurants were on a wait status reflected Handycreek service. Very disappointed. read more

The baked goods are divine! Recommend stopping or ordering pickup for whatever they have in the baked case! You won't regret it! We had the cinnamon rolls and Fresh Oregon strawberry brioche rolls and wish we had purchased extra...SO good! We also had the veggie omelet w/good quality cheddar cheese. The fresh veggies were cooked just right. The biscuits were just out of the oven and jams were delish. This is a gem of a place w/tables spaced out so you can dine in and still keep your COVID distance. read more

How can you review it? Has been closed for months.... covid times, but could at least put a sign in the window telling us what's up. Are they closed forever? Who Knows?? read more

Handy Creek Bakery - Served day old bacon, it even smelled bad! Said something to waitress but said he just over cooked the bacon! - Bakeries Near Me - Wheeler, Oregon

Hard to catch them open but hey that's the coast life! Very nice staff, super clean and bay view! Simple menu and you get everything you need for take out. The cinnamon roll French toast is heaven. read more

The best cup of coffee I've had in years. The marionberry sweet roll was outstanding. I'll be back!

I meant to write this review two years ago, when we first discovered it, and this morning we went back and had the same brilliant experience. It's charming and welcoming; it actually reminds me of a place that we went in Portland when I was a kid, full of vintage tables even more adorable table cloths, the fluffiest pancakes and just that sense that they wanted you to come back again and again. (The pancakes were last time, with our little girls.) Today my omelette was full of perfectly cooked vegetables and the cinnamon roll made with brioche dough literally melted in my mouth (and I'm using the word literally correctly. And the gravy in my husband's biscuits was soooo good. (He loved the rest of his meal but I can't vouch for it because he doesn't share.) We'll be heading there for a peach scone and an apple fritter on the way out of town tomorrow ;) read more

Great bakery/cafe along 101 . Along the road, we picked up some bakery items to have with coffee later. They ended up being the best bakery of the trip. The cinnamon rolls were perfect and tender. The fritters were also very good. We got a couple of other bakery items, all very good. Recommended. read more

Loved this quiet friendly cafe! The owner greeted us warmly and quickly brought our beverages. The bay view from our antique table was pleasant. It's in the old Masonic Hall in Wheeler and has an old timey charm. Our breakfast omelets were filled with fresh vegetables, the hash browns from scratch and the polenta toast delicious. We finished our meal with a just right homemade cinnamon roll. The lovely owner spent time telling us the history behind the name....ask her! If you want a quiet homemade meal with a bit of old fashioned charm stop by. We will return. read more

They do breakfast and lunch as well as selling bread and pastries. This is a real bakery, a pleasant surprise. My wife and I had a sandwich each and were delighted. A good sandwich is hard to find in this part of the world. They tend to be tasteless meat on Wonderbread. Handy Creek does a good sandwich and good coffee. The ambiance is cosy and the view spectacular. read more

Wanted to like this little mom and pop cafe. It was clean and they were really great at keeping everyone's coffee cups topped off. (I don't drink coffee but noticed they did outstanding in that department. It appeared that it was a 2 person (mom and pop) operation. Mom taking orders, and delivering drinks and food, Pop seemed to be the cook. They were very busy- most tables filled and could have used an extra set of hands. The juice was overpriced for the amount you were give.- 2 or maybe 3 ounces- super small juice cups from many years ago. Food was good- not outstanding, but good. Was looking forward to having some of their baked goods to take home for snacks later but the large case was very sparse. It was Sunday around noon and they are closed Monday and Tuesday so it made sense. We would go back, but it wouldn't be one of our first choices. read more

The day old cinnamon roll French toast was amazing!!! The Eggs Benedict was great too!! The homemade bread was out of this world!! Definitely worth the stop to eat breakfast. My husband is a picky eater and he ate it and loved it!! read more

While the baked goods are out of this world amazing (scones especially). Have yet to enjoy the quiche but all other breakfast items are wonderful! Ambiance is shabby chic and quaint. Great place to have breakfast/brunch. Only down side is unless you get in EARLY they will be out of pastries and not making more for the day. We have been a few different times about 10:30 or 11am and the pastries are almost completely gone with no additional being made although they don't close until 3pm. All in all great food, people and atmosphere. read more

My husband and I shared breakfast here. First of all the Americano was the best cup of coffee. We shared an order of the veggie omelet with a side of bacon and a cinnamon roll. Perfect bacon, fresh veggies and yummy roll. Plus the crispy polenta toast with blackberry jam. Everything was quality and delicious; not greasy. Sharing was just enough food. We are going back again before going home. read more

This place made the best maple bar! We were driving down the coast and craved something sweet. The bar was still warm from the fryer and maple was delicate and lovely. The only thing I wished I that I ordered another one!!! read more

Great service and excellent food! The view of the river is a bonus!! Second time eating here when we come to the beach and it was perfect. We got seated right away on a Saturday morning and our food came out quick and fresh. The baked goodies are also super delicious!! read more

We came here almost two years ago when I think they'd recently opened and it was yummy. We just ate here again this week and it's gotten even better! Not sure there's a lemon on their menu to be found - really impressive selection of homemade stuff for a smaller restaurant. everything we ordered was so very tasty. Love the sweet, family run vibe here and the kind service. We'll be back for more good coffee, pancakes, hash browns, omelettes and quiche! Highly recommend this lil spot in Wheeler for breakfast. read more

Family owned, treated like family, and delicious food! Every time I go to the Oregon Coast I stop by.

What a quaint little place. Good food, good service, clean, and cozy. They have also have delicious pastries. They had a polenta bread that was amazing! read more

I just made my first visit to Handy Creek Bakery, and it was great! I had an americano and a strawberry scone, and both were fantastic. The americano was smooth and medium-bold, and the scone seemed super fresh. It was golden on the outside, soft in the middle, not too sugary, and had a delightful bit of orange zest. read more

What an amazing spot... Everything was tasty, service good. But, this is called a bakery and the Bakery cases were almost empty. Sad for so early in the morning. Looks more like a going out of business sale. read more

Better than Wanda's. Excellent food, great coffee. Super service. This will be our breakfast must go to place when we are in the Nehalem Bay Area. read more

Great baked goods on the 101 with nice staff and great views. We really enjoyed the bread pudding.

Very delicious. Stopped the first day for bakery (cinnamon roll and brioche bun) and the breakfast looked and smelled so good we came back the next day for that. The Wheeler Special omelette with sun-dried tomatoes was great. Nice home baked tasting bread for the toast and homemade jam. Everything was great and we will definitely be back. Plus the staff was so nice and friendly too. Tried a scone and coffee to go and that was just as good as everything else. read more

My experience here was flavorless and mediocre from the service to the food. I had the eggs Florentine. The eggs were the consistency of hard-boiled eggs. For all I know, they could've been. The Hollandaise sauce was of the consistency and flavor of watered down mayonnaise. Both were atop a handful of raw baby spinach leaves on top of an English muffin. It was like eating a spinach salad with hard-boiled eggs and a flavorless dressing. read more
