    Ocean view from our table
    Trixxi T.

    Had a wonderful breakfast with my bestie at the Blue Agate. The place is very small with lots of ocean view windows. Lots of history on the walls of Oceanside. Tables are quaint with small jars with flowers on the table. We got there a little after 11:00 when they switch from breakfast to lunch. Even though it was past time, they still let me order breakfast. I got the chicken fried steak and it was delicious. It was a good portion but not too big and the steak was thin and crispy with peppery white gravy. Very delicious. The home made fried potatoes were really clean and cooked well. At first I just ordered sourdough toast but then I saw them deliver a big fluffy biscuit to another table. I asked the waitress if it was possible to get one of those instead if it wasn't too late. I offered to pay the difference but she said it was no problem. This was a light and freshly baked with jam and butter. Don't skip this if you go there. The company I was with, the view, the food and the service made this a highlight of my trip. Did I mention the beautiful beach is right across the street? Do not miss out on this amazing place. Your tummy will thank you.

    Beautiful scenery.

    View is stunning right from the table and very friendly service. Also the food was delicious.

    Clam chowder

    These are the nicest people! Great service, willing to chat when not busy. The food was great. I tried the Blue Agate fries which have cheese and pulled pork. The sauce was a little rich, but works with the fries. The chowder was good (but a little heavy on the black pepper). The fish tacos were awesome. And I love the berry lemonade. The shop is small, so prepare for a wait during busy season.

    Excellent for breakfast, next to our cabin, and across from The beach, location, location, location. The food was super yummy and big portions. We were not sure about the crab cake eggs combo but took a chance. It worked. The skillet potatoes were excellent, golden crispy outside and soft inside. Loved the biscuits, soft, warm, melted in each bite. Service was fantastic, family run business, the owner is lovely l, we had a nice conversation with her. They do have an outside patio.

    Steamer clams

    Nice friendly establishment that was one of the few restaurants open in the area. We had to wait 30 minutes for the breakfast menu to close out before they started serving lunch, but they communicated that very well I won't hold it against them. We had the crab cakes, steamer clams, and grilled rock bass. The steamer clams were a nice portion, but still had some sand in it. However there was a nice mix of onion and tomato broth plus buttered toast that it was quite satisfying. The crab cakes were a bit small for my taste and it felt like it could have used some more crabs. It was also a bit dense. The grilled rock bass was great - they ran out of rice but the side salad sub was not a bad choice. Overall, a solid place in the area!

    Perfect breakfast view. Crab cakes are lovely.

    Love this darling little cafe. Great breakfast, cozy setting. The waitstaff feel like they could be my auntie and the food is comforting and yummy. Parking is terrible as this is a teeny town.

    I definitely enjoyed the food here! Blue Agate is a small cafe right next to the beach, so you can fuel up and head over a few feet to the beach! The crab cakes are excellent, though I think they need more crab in them, and I think it would be amazing if they had a lemon glaze on them. But overall it's delicious. The breakfast burrito is excellent. Stuff with plenty of protein, and the size is pretty big, so you might want to share it if you eat less. Service is friendly and they seat you right away.

    The food, service, and the cute beach decor made the whole experience amazing!!! We will be back:)

    Country Benedict, country fried steak and view of the ocean

    On our last morning in cozy Oceanside, we decided to try this local place near the beach access. It's small and weathered, but was a great experience. Our waitress and who we presume to be the owner was very friendly and shared even history of the place. We ordered a coffee, the country benedict, country fried steak, and an orange juice. The food was delicious! Huge portions. I will mostly think about those potatoes, which were both soft and crispy. The owner was proud to share everything was made from scratch, and you can tell. The orange juice did get missed in the order, but we didn't mind and the owner was kind enough to take it off our bill. It's a little pricey of a breakfast, but you'll eat good and you can't beat the cozy location near the water!

 I did not see any outside seating

    Great coffee, I take it black wish my favorite breakfast places in Portland served this! If came in a large cup and kept offering me more. I was the only one there at 9am Monday, friendly waitress suggested the sausage omelet for savory or French toast for sweet over my third choice which you "can get anywhere" bacon and eggs. They turned it into scramble at my request, it was very good, but the potatoes were what I saved for my last bite.The first bite seemed a bit dry, not greasy (were they even fried?) but I really liked them. I also got toast and the jam was good, only one half piece was brown, not really worth $4 and I had plenty of food. As I finished another couple arrived. If you are using google don't turn right and if you do then take the first left (it did not look like much so I took the next one which was right next to it, and ended up on a tour of the town, the street was one way, and the next one was block by construction trucks, the third was ok but google wanted me to go the wrong way on a one way street! Luckily I had downloaded the maps here because there is no cell (or at least Verizon). When I got back I parked in front of the restaurant so not sure what is back there. Saw a bald eagle after breakfast.

    Fish sandwich
    Ben B.

    We were looking forward to our chance to eat a Blue Agate Café. The day we came they did not have any crab. All crab is prepared fresh and they did not get their catch in time for us to enjoy it. They have an ample menu that we choose from and found things we liked. Fish and chips - 3-4 stars - Nothing special. Not much to complain about. It's fish was fine. The fries were average. Fish sandwich - 5 stars - They provided two large pieces of fish in the sandwich. Both orders we had they both chose to take one fillet off and felt it was enough. The tartar sauce was excellent and paired great with the fish. Crab and shrimp melt - 5 stars - No crab so it ended up being a shrimp melt. He really liked it but he rarely eats slow enough to taste his food. Shrimp tacos - 5 stars - two tacos with a great sauce. She really enjoyed it. Had no complaints and had room to help others finish off their plates. Agate Fries - 3-4 stars - they were a mess. Very saucy pulled pork over a bed of fries. We do a lot of smoking of pork in the family and felt it was below par. Fries were average. Pulled pork sandwich - 3 stars - There is one in every family. You go to a restaurant by the coast and the order something they can get at home. He liked the sandwich but not as much as others he has had closer to home. A very convenient place right next to the beach. The pricing seemed a little on the high side but about right for the area. It was a bummer we did not have crabs as that was the one thing I was looking forward to ordering.

    Great crab and shrimp roll. Perfect with the crab chowder. Parking can be tight. Sit outside for quicket seating.

    I love the food here. The flapjacks are very good. They're very thick and fluffy. Also breakfast burrito is delicious and very filling.

    Is this cafe still open? We drove from Lookout Cape and were disappointed it was closed. Hours say it's open now but called ahead this time and no one answered.

    They are open, ate there today

    Typical food found at a hamburger joint. They have really good milkshakes as well. They have a…read morebackroom with some old fashioned kiddie rides that are 50cents ea. We had a run in with the manager after we asked for a refund after the 2nd ride ate our quarters. I actually only asked because it was the kids last ride and the last of the quarters. I did not want them to have to leave on a sad note. We spent over $200 in this restaurant supporting a small business. We won't be back due to this man's nasty attitude. He came in and proceeded to explain to us that the rides take 2 quarters each. Like we hadn't been back there putting money in them for an hour already. Just plain rude. The young ladies running the counter and serving were very sweet.

    I've driven by here many times recently and today we stopped in. Though not what we were expecting…read morethe food was good, the place clean and the staff friendly. We got the TWIST, a blt and grilled cheese combo that was actually a pretty good combination. The fries were krinkle cut so frozen but were hot and seasoned nicely and the onion rings also from frozen were good and came with blue cheese dressing for dipping, Nice! The decor was straight up 50's diner with pictures of muscle cars on the walls and various auto themed decorations throughout. There's some kid style entertainment in the back like stuff you would find in a park old fashioned riding toys etc. On the receipt it says Terry Phillips not windmill so maybe windmill is an old name? Anyway you slice it though the food was good, the 50's music playing was fun and we will definitely be coming back.
