    Breakfast Sandwich with Bacon
    John H.

    This coffee shop has the prime location in Pacific City! It can be packed out the door with a line. There are some tucked away tables, but it's not a chill/work spot when busy. The iced latte I ordered was pretty good, but the hot one was just okay. I thought the sandwiches were delicious. Great bread that was soft and a little toasty! The beach bun was absolutely incredible!!! It was a little expensive, but some coast spots will be.

    This was my first time visiting Stimulus Coffee. Although the baked goods looked fabulous, I did not eat any food. However, on our three-day trip to Pacific City, I did purchase coffee here multiple times. Was this the best cold brew I have ever had? It might have been. The service was also great. Everyone who worked here was very polite and knowledgeable, and I really appreciated the staff. On a side note my 20oz cold brew was seven plus dollars. The ambiance is what you would expect from a coffee shop. It felt a little cramped to me, but there was a lot of seating. I had to do a Zoom session, and this was the only place in town with reliable WiFi, which saved me. Next time I am in town, I will be back.

    Stopped by this cute coffee shop on our way down the coast and it was great! Pictured is an iced caramel latte - delicious. They also had pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Plenty of room for seating and the service was fast. Drink prices were what you'd expect on the coast.

    Haystack Cookie- Dark and White chocolate chips, heath crunch, coconut, sea salt. Contains almonds.

    The low reviews seem to be mostly for service. And keep in mind they stay BUSY! While I didn't encounter any energetic smiles the transaction was efficient and pleasant enough. Loved the campfire cold brew special. Great haystack cookie and energy bite as well as the bacon egg & cheese sando. I'd return.

    Grilled cheese with mustard and spicy cheese

    Lines are insanely long, but they move through them pretty quickly. Sucks that they run out of traditional items pretty quickly and some items from online are not in the actual menu and vice versa. I ordered traditional cappuccino and traditional americano, both hot. They both were pretty good. Grilled cheese sandwich (more like a burger) has mustered and spicy Tillamook cheese and it's pretty good. Also had espresso cannoli and those are so good.

    The girls could've been a little nicer .. sucky customer service, plus the restrooms were dirty and wastebasket was full of trash .. and the one thing that sucked was the coffee maker was broke & the ovens we're brokeen down ... so no food... And no drip coffee... And they were complaining allowed in front of customers that there is no management complaining about that ... pretty good coffee though. Ambiance was nice for a seaside cafe

    " that's not my name"

    Not all the items from the online menu were available. Lesson learned, don't whine if they don't have what you planned. Have something else and be grateful and kind. Busy beach-town café, and the service is always friendly. Besides tourists, there are actual working locals trying to get a cup before heading out, maybe in a wetsuit, maybe in a dory boat, maybe to work in another local shop.

    My husband and I visited during mid-morning on a rainy/windy Saturday. The atmosphere was vibrant with lots of groups enjoying conversation & laughter. We ordered 2 lattes, the veggie quiche, a bacon & egg sandwich, an everything bagel & the açaí overnight oats. Service was quick & the food and coffee were good. The overnight oats was my favorite - so tasty! We only interacted with staff when placing our order and then we sat in front of a huge window over looking the Pelican Brewing parking lot where you can peek at the ocean & watch the chefs making pastries in the kitchen. For us, Stimulus is an easy casual spot to get a coffee and quick bite before hiking the sand dunes.

    Well I rolled into Grateful Bread in Pacific City, chasing that coastal breeze and a little morning…read moresunshine... and found myself right in the middle of a breakfast jam session. The walls are alive with local art, colors dancing, Grateful Dead vibes everywhere you look. Even the menu's singing... dish names straight out of a setlist, like you're ordering breakfast at a show that never really ended. Now the Marionberry French toast... oh man. That one hits like a perfect riff at just the right moment. Sweet, rich, and laid back in all the right ways and like it knew exactly why you showed up. They've got fresh baked goods dialed in too and this is their thing, and you can taste it in every bite. Service? Kinda like a wandering solo... not always in sync, not always warm, but hey the music (aka the food) keeps the whole thing together. In the end, it's one of those places you stumble into and remember later with a smile. If the road ever brings us back through Pacific City, we'll swing by again and let it play on.

The biscuits with my breakfast scramble were also 5-star good for similar reasons. The scramble itself was fine but nothing special. The service was fine. It took awhile to get served and we didn't have a dedicated server, so it was a bit random, but it was fine. It's pretty spacious to handle a fair number of customers. It was pretty busy in a Friday at 10 or so. The oat milk served in the side with my coffee was nice. It was a solid experience. Definitely come for the scones as they were amazing!

We showed up dressed in our better clothes, Rick wore a suit jacket, and me in an elegant dress, and we're met by waitresses in jeans and denim shirts, guessing it was a birthday celebration because I was "so glittery". It didn't flatter us that we were seated in the main room where the volume of the more casual diners was overbearing. It felt like a cafeteria, or bar atmosphere, and disappointed our expectations, as having arrived at 7pm the fireplace wasn't even lit the whole time we were there. We are locals, having been apart for going on 4 years dealing with aging parents, it was our first formal dinner alone in that long, and the wait staff didn't recognize we needed a more romantic setting. The food was great, but the experience was a DUD. The "Ambiance" they tout is dissappointing.

Vibe is great, not stuffy, but wine casual if you know what I mean. Loved it all. Clean, spacious, large bar. The drinks, wine, and beer were all delicious. Food/Drinks 4 Stars, View 5 Stars easy.

We sat in the upper area just behind the bar, which was fairly empty at the time. Probably a smart move by the waitress, keep the kids a bit isolated haha! It was nice, there are big windows letting lots of light in, tall ceilings with dark wood beams, and everything feels worn and comfortable. They haven't leaned too heavily into any particular theme for this place. Yes, there is fishing gear and memorabilia (hence the name) and local historical pictures and such. But they didn't over do any of it in any obnoxious way. I enjoyed the fish/crab pots re-purposed as tall tables. Anywho, we ordered for the kids first because they were positively wilting away from hunger, at least that's how they made it seem. The kids menu was so cute. If your kid says "I don't know" to asking them what they want, then they got let's say - mac and cheese. If they said "I don't like that", then they got a corn dog. (I'm not certain if those were the exact items they got for those responses but that's the gist - it was very cute). I ordered the turkey BLT, except without the T (I'm not a fan) and a Tumalo Cider. I was nervous that the focaccia might be stale but it was soft and easy to eat. My picture doesn't seem to do it justice, it was a sizable sandwich. The turkey was carver's cut and bacon was thick. I enjoyed the pesto immensely, instead of the usual condiments. It was a very good sandwich.The cider was delicious as well, very little carbonation which I prefer. Our server was very nice and accommodating to a larger group with kids. She brought us a booster seat and coloring pages and crayons for the kids, which was great!
