    Dining Area
    Mark M.

    Stumbled upon this wonderful little breakfast place while on a morning walk along the promenade, north of the Worldmark Seaside Resort where we are staying. The Ocean Bakery is located inside the Best Western Inn. You would never see the cafe from any of the main streets. The breakfast options are plentiful and reasonably priced. I popped in at 9 am on a weekday and it was very quiet, possibly due to renovations going on at the Best Western. But don't let that distract you. The breakfast was great! It seems they also serve lunch and dinner. Food and drink orders are at a counter, similar to a coffee shop, and the food is brought to your table. This is a GREAT place to stop anytime you are on an oceanfront walk along the promenade!

    We stayed at the Best Western and grabbed a to-go order for dinner. The grilled cheese was crispy and had plenty of cheese, the clam chowder was very tasty! We didn't eat in but there was a fireplace, a bar and plenty of tables.

    I ordered Avocado Toast, and paid extra to add side of 2 eggs over easy. Need I say more? Zoom in

    Parking can be a bit tricky since the restaurant is located within Best Western Hotel, so you'll be hunting for parking along with guests of the hotel. Interiors is very clean, low lighting for relaxing ambiance, I sat by a fireplace, the music was not too loud, with jazz, country, alternative soft rock. I ordered Avocado Toast, and paid for a side of 2 eggs over easy. Picture of the food is posted, very presentable and delicious. Definitely a future revisit for me in Seaside. The wait for the food was a bit long, considering I was the first and only customer, but overall, well worth the wait since the food & atmosphere were very good

    We got a lemon blueberry bar and a chocolate muffin. The muffin was pretty dry and the chocolate chips didn't really come through well. The lemon blueberry bread was pretty decent but needed more lemon flavor; the lemon was very faint. Cafe area seems pretty cozy.

    They offer a nice, no frills breakfast. The coffee and latte were both good. The avocado toast was tasty. The kids eggs and bacon was okay. The huevos rancheros was the best of the dishes we tried.

    If you're staying at The Best Western in Seaside or if you're looking for a place to eat that's nice and light stop by the Ocean Bakery Cafe. They've got the best huevos rancheros I've had in 6 years. The flavors are very delicious to say the least. It's got a kick and the right amount seasoning blend. This dish is a must try!

    Funny, but I chose this place because of a 1 star review about expired drinks in the cooler. It wasn't the review that brought me in, but the response from the bakery. I like the fact that the management reads the reviews posted & responses to those reviews. The service was warm & friendly. We had the pear & goat cheese panini, fish & chips, & a cup of calm chowder. All were delicious. I especially liked the fish & chips. The cod had a light, crispy batter and the tartar sauce was excellent. They also house make the potato chips that came with the panini.

    Have you ever gone to the Pig and Pancake and ordered a $16 plate of slop, wolfed it down, and then…read moresaid, "Oh God, what have I done?" Yeah, me too. That's why I've decided to stop hurting myself and go to the Chalkboard Cafe instead. The difference in quality of ingredients and cooking is apparent in the first bite. It really is a bit jarring. This restaurant makes everything from scratch, and I mean everything. Yesterday my son and I got two burgers and our potato salad and coleslaw sides were like sides my mother would make in her kitchen, not globs of shelf stable Reser's food-paste that were made two states over a month ago and sprayed with mortuary chemicals to stop their decay. The food at the Chalkboard is real food, not fake food, which brings me to my next point, dietary restrictions. If I had any dietary restrictions whatsoever, gluten sensitivity in particular, this would be where I would go for breakfast or lunch in Seaside. Chalkboard has gluten free biscuits and gravy available, delicious GF naan bread made by hand, and gluten free versions of popular bakery goods made in their small kitchen from scratch. Even if you don't have restrictions you can be assured that your meal will have 80% less total ingredients just based on the restaurant's ethics alone. They aren't taking shortcuts, they aren't bringing junk into the building in the first place, so junk never ends up on your plate. The service is stellar, the ambiance is charming and clean. You're out of excuses. You were wondering where you should go to eat, and now you know. Go to the restaurant where the locals take their own families - the Chalkboard Cafe.

    This place needs ventilation very badly. You will walk out of there smelling like the smoke from a…read morebusy kitchen. The soda bagel thing is over rated. I liked the airy texture. But I didn't care too much for the flavor. Genuinely not good. And the cream cheese it came with, zero flavor, which was easily remedied by adding my own salt. The ambience and decor was quaintly charming, at first. But the more I looked the more understood that everything was creepy. Like witchcraft creepy.

    Bagels by the Sea - Review…read more We stopped into Bagels by the Sea while visiting the area and had a mixed experience. Food & Drinks I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with a side of cream cheese and an Americano. Unfortunately, the bagel came with the cream cheese already spread on it and was wrapped up in a bag with other hot sandwiches. By the time we opened it, it was a bit of a soupy mess. My Americano tasted decent enough, but it was only lukewarm when it was served. I drank about half before it got too cold to enjoy. My husband ordered the Eggle Bagel with bacon and a white chocolate mocha. He said the bacon was good, but overall the sandwich didn't have much flavor. It was okay, but not something he would order again. The coffee was decent. My grandson had a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and a hot cocoa. His bagel ended up being a soupy mess as well because the cream cheese had melted after being wrapped up with the hot food. He did say the hot cocoa was delicious though. Atmosphere The atmosphere was cute, eclectic, and overall inviting. It has a fun little seaside café vibe that we enjoyed. Service Service wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't particularly welcoming. Staff weren't rude, but there wasn't much warmth either. One thing that puzzled us was that they toasted the bagel and immediately spread the cream cheese on it before wrapping it up, which made it pretty messy by the time we ate it. We also ordered our food to eat there but were given everything in a to-go bag, which added to the feeling that maybe dine-in wasn't really encouraged. Pricing Prices were about what you'd expect for a seaside town. Overall, it was an okay stop, but with a few small improvements in food prep and service it could be a much better experience. Would we return? Probably not. We would just look elsewhere for a better experience.

Crab cakes were expensive and underwhelming. Ceviche was literally nothing but cheap bay shrimp. I ordered the halibut tacos for my main with no mango salsa because of an allergy. It came with mango salsa and the wrong kind of tortilla. Before I could say anything waitress bolted away from the table. I think she knew it was wrong. We had to flag down another waiter after looking for ours for ten minutes, rest of the party had almost finished their food by that point. Two other people had incorrect orders as well but chose to deal with it as it wasn't allergies. Finally got correct order and I wish I would have just sent it back with no replacement. Halibut was almost non existent, it was more of a cabbage taco. The rice was gross and tasted old. The beans were bland. When our waitress finally did come back she said nothing about my incorrect meal. She actually became rude and cold, wouldn't even look at us. I had just received correct meal and two others ordered more drinks since we would be staying longer. Took over 20 minutes to get more drinks and she had become so cold that we were all convinced she might have spit in them. New drinks were left untouched and I left hungry.
