    Patio dining area
    Kurt P.

    Two for breakfast this morning. This is a VERY popular place, so if you don't get there right when they open you'll have a wait. The good news is they have a beautiful waiting area outdoors (see photo). They also have a nice covered patio seating area for dining, so this place is bigger than it looks. The menu is great for brunch - nice mixture of Benedict's, sandwiches, etc. On weekends they have cinnamon rolls, which is what I opted for. They are massive - I could only finish 1/2, and I'm a big eater. My wife enjoyed her 2 egg breakfast which came with a nice fruit bowl and really good biscuit. The service is great, the staff really hustles. One of the better breakfast places I've been to in quite a while. Highly recommended.

    We will have to try this spot in the future for breakfast. We were here for the cinnamon roll but we didn't get here early enough before they were sold out! We did pick up other pastry treats and a coffee that were yummy. Cute place nice staff. There is a lil parking lot.

    So I attempted to go to this restaurant twice on my visit and it was always busy with the wait being pretty long. Luckily on my third day it was only 30 minutes and I waited it out. It wasn't as long as I'd thought it would be. They have an outdoor waiting area with coffee. Every person was also very friendly. Once I got inside I understood the wait. Its a small space, you can tell they have expanded. I loved how it was layed out though with what they had. It felt local and modern at the same time. After eating the wait times made complete sense. Everything I ate was incredible. I had a breakfast sandwich, but it was perfect and the potatoes it came with were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also bought baked goods on my way out and all if them have been delicious! The coffee coffee cake are currently my favorite, but I still have two other cookies to get through! Love this place by far my best breakfast experience at the coast this trip. I will definitely want to come back.

    We drove to Nehalem from Beaverton for a beach day and we got to Wanda's a little before noon and the hostess outside said it would be around an hour (but she overestimated and said it usually is quicker) so we walked around the little town for a bit and then waited in the ample sitting space out front and time flew by and then we were sat a little before 1pm. The server was very sweet and friendly and the food was great, I ordered the smoked salmon omelette and it was so delicious, I added mushrooms and avocado to the omelette. The dill cream cheese was to die for. My friend ordered the 2 egg breakfast, my other friend is vegan and got the tofu scramble. I can see why the cafe was so busy, my whole table was gobbling up our food. Everything was great. We also ordered drinks, I ordered the laughing Wanda, and my friend ordered the Nutty Irishman. The cafe was really cute and the employees were all very nice even when it was incredibly busy. If I'm ever in town again I will definitely come back and try something else on the menu because it all looks so good!

    We absolutely love Wanda's. The food is amazing, the atmosphere and service is outstanding and they have a nice selection of gifts and local artists work. Our waiter Dawson was a really great server and we loved chatting with him about his family and we bought some of his work.

    It had been at least 10yrs since we were here and boy has it changed. Very well thought out and use of space for this gem. It was already busy for Saturday morning brunch but it only took 15-20 mins to be seated with a party of 4. While waiting, we were able to get adult beverages. Their store inside was filled with lots of bakery options that were hard to resist (I couldn't as i ended up getting a cinnamon roll to go). Our waiter was attentive and very friendly. Our table was mixed with breakfast & lunch choices. Everything on the menu was available at 10 am. Prices were very reasonable. All chosen options were great and more to be tried! Check it out if you are in the area. The wait is worth it!

    Lovely place!! Great food and great service :) This place is popular (for a good reason) so make sure to get there early to put your name in! They offer free drip coffee & water while waiting in their outdoor area. My family & I were sat in the covered patio which was so beautiful and calm. Everyone loved their food!!

    Lovely ambiance, diverse selection of food and drink including gluten free options, tasty and reasonably priced (for local area restaurants) dishes, welcoming and friendly staff, timely service (although you may have to wait in line for this popular eatery), great outdoorsy decor, and fantastic array of outdoor-themed goods in their amply-stocked gift shop. Opened 25 years ago but new owners since 6 years ago made a lot of changes. Love this place.

    Great service, flavorful brunch food! Cute brunch spot with lots of Oregon decoration. Tried going to another local place but they were booked up, sooo happy Wanda's Cafe was open and so yummy! We drove all the way from Portland and luckily weren't disappointed. :)

    Breakfast sandwich (egg, tomato, bacon and I did no cheese) with brunch potatoes

    We were greeted by such happy and smiling staff. We were sat quickly with menus and waters already on the table. Our server was kind and quick. Food came out quick and was delicious. They have a cozy inside seating area and then a covered outside eating area which is perfect for photos. Outside area felt like you were camping but sophisticated style. You pay up front where you can see the baked goods for the day. Would come back!

    Great find on the Oregon coast. We were hanging out near Nehalem and found a great breakfast and lunch spot. Wanda's is a diamond in the ruff. Very unique spot with a lot of cool decor, as you walk into the small seating area within the main building they have a small shop, as you work to the back area they have a beautiful and eclectic covered patio. I cannot say enough about the decor, so much to look at within the covered patio seating area. They have about 6 tables in one section and a few more in the adjoining back area. The wait staff was very attentive. We were able to order our drinks and food within a few minutes of being seated. The food variety is great, many main breakfast and lunch dishes. We had a variety of dishes. Two egg and bacon , egg and sausage patties to a grilled cheese. All well prepared, hot and very tasty. I look forward to visiting again.

    Extended indoor patio area with amazing decoration and greenery.

I had the country scramble with the seasoned crispy potatoes and biscuit and my husband had the scramble with bacon, avocado and blue cheese. It was all delicious and their coffee is very good. The service is outstanding. It is very popular and busy ( for a good reason!) and we can't wait to return.

    Good food; I wouldn't say 'excellent', though…read more Disclaimer: If Yelp! allowed 1/2 stars, Yolk would be a 3.5 star experience. I'm giving it 4 stars and the benefit of the doubt. I'll start with the positive: The French Toast is probably the best I've ever had! My wife ordered the French Toast, and after I tried a bite of hers, I ordered a piece. All of the ingredients were fresh; but the prices are a little higher than they ought to be. I ordered the Biscuits and Groovy. Biscuits is plural in the name. If there were 2 biscuits, they were tiny. If there was only 1 biscuit, maybe rename the item Biscuit & Groovy. In either case, there wasn't a lot of gravy. The wait wasn't bad. 30 minutes for a table for 2 on a Sunday in February. Can't imagine the wait in the Spring or Summer. We ordered 3 cocktails. Total for all three was $41. These were easily the most expensive 'mocktails' ever. None of them seemed to have much liquor. You aren't going to get lit at Yolk. All in all, 3.5 stars. But I wouldn't go back. And I definitely wouldn't wait more than 30 minutes to dine at Yolk.
