This place is amazing. If you are anywhere near Lincoln City, it is worth the drive! I had the oatmeal crusted French toast & my husband had the club sandwich- both were incredible. The staff is so friendly & attentive and the cafe is clean & welcoming. read more

Nelscott Breakfast House - French toast, tsunami bowl house special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lincoln City, Oregon

I'm a sinner, and when I saw the religious quote on the board outside the shop, I was hesitant to enter, but by the time I left I was filled with the holy spirit. With each bite, I felt Jesus entering my body and soul. The Christian music was blaring throughout the restaurant, and I felt the spirit of the lord flowing in and around me. The food was delightful, definitely worthy of the Lord. However, the prices were not. Jesus fed the needy, I'm not sure the needy could eat here. I wish the eucharist tasted like the French toast I had. It'd probably make me go to church more. In all seriousness, the service was great. Food came out quick and was phenomenal. The setting in a house was unique and fun. Jesus is in me now, and he can be in you too if you eat here. read more

Nelscott Cafe, Breakfast House or whatever they call themselves, may be going through an identity crisis. We used to LOVE this place because of its funky beach atmosphere and generous food portions. We were in Lincoln City on February 12, 2026 and made a B-line to Nelscott to have breakfast. 1) The message at the door (see photo below) was a religious message which assumes all people believe in God. We're not believers of this religion and found it very off-putting. We went in anyway since the vibe and service is usually great, and the food is good. 2) Boy, were we disappointed in the vibe! The place was completely empty! Granted, this was a Thursday morning, but usually there's a line to get in even as the doors open in the morning. Then, the vibe was a loud religious Spanish radio station (no, I'm not racist and have many friends from all walks of life). It was loud, serious, religious AND a radio station. Not the easy-going vibe we were hoping for while on vacation to relax. I did mention our concern about the music when we checked out and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. 3) I fear this place is going through an identity crises after a death in the family a few years ago. I'm glad they have recent glowing reviews, but I believe businesses that cater to the public should keep their religious beliefs to themselves. read more

Told me they would give me 3 eggs to substitute for the bacon since i don't eat any pig meat and this doesn't look like 3 eggs to me. I love being lied to and paying for overpriced mid food. After eating it I have to say this was the most bland breakfast i've ever had. I couldn't even eat the biscuit and could not finish the potatoes. What would bring ppl to give this place almost 5 stars... read more

Came in here based off the Yelp reviews, it was a mixed vibe that's for sure. The prices are above average. The half order of biscuits and gravy was good, except the gravy was lukewarm, and that it tasted really basic like it came from just sitting in a big pot. The cheddar cheese put on top was different, not bad but just different. My boyfriend got the french toast with oats and that was the best french toast I have ever had. Both him and I were amazed at how good that was. Highly recommend getting that! Server was nice, friendly employees. read more

OMG THE FOOD IS JUST AMAZING!!! I ordered the Texas French Toast and it was just spectacular. The orange juice is fresh! We came Sunday morning which was packed but we got in pretty quickly, about 20 minutes. While we waited we shopped around at the cute shops near the restaurant. The whole vibe of the place is very warm and cute. I 100% recommend this place! read more

This place had a cute little cottage feel, and we were seated in the kids room upstairs, which had a bunch of art and messages from best customers, which was pretty cool. We got the eggs Benedict, a stack of pancakes some beignets and everything was pretty good. This was the first time I didn't have to ask for extra sauce on the eggs Benedict. It was smothered, which was awesome. We opt for the three stack of pancakes, which proved to be a little too much. Two stacks would be good for the future. The beignets were covered in a delicious passion fruit sauce and light and fluffy. The hot chocolate had a taste like it was just some powder added to water but still good. read more

I'm sad to write this me and my fiancée came here a couple of years back and were blown away by how good it was and today we were absolutely disappointed in the food the chicken fried steak felt like it was a frozen burger patty breaded and fried the potatoes were heavily undercooked and still hard while my scrambled eggs were heavily over cooked Don't know if owner ship changed or cooks weren't doing good that day read more

Great food and awesome employees who make you feel at home. It is a little tight inside but does not affect your dining experience.

Nelscott Breakfast House is a cute, quaint little breakfast and brunch spot serving up all of the staples with no frills. it has a home-y feel, and you will feel like you're eating in someone's dining room. overall, this is a nice vibe, but it can get pretty loud without anything to control the noise. the service we received was mixed--several different folks looked after our table, and they ranged from non-verbal and no-eye-contact to warm and chatty. nonetheless, we always got what we needed, at least until it was time to get our check--no one brought the check, so we were left guessing about whether to wait for it or go to the register. the food was so-so. when i go to a place that relies on simple, staple breakfast foods, what i'm really looking for is a clean-ish presentation, minimal grease, and everything flavored and cooked optimally. i had the Nelscott breakfast, consisting of two eggs, two sausage patties, and potatoes. i don't normally spring for pancakes, but they didn't have waffles, so i took my chances on a pancake as well. i found the eggs to be overly greasy. the potatoes were OK, but they didn't have any salt, herbs, or spices to give them some flavor. they could have been enhanced so much with some salt, garlic, and an herb, like rosemary. the sausage patties were OK, but also more greasy than expected, even for sausage. the pancake was OK, but kind of plain tasting. i'm not sure if we'd return, but after many trips to the coast over the years, i'm glad we finally got to give this place a try. read more

Interesting experience. The staff definitely seemed hardworking but not very friendly. They serve water that has been soaked in lemons and I am unfortunately allergic to citrus- the lemons were not disclosed at any time until I asked for new water. After I mentioned my allergy, we were given plain water but never saw the server again. Another server delivered our food. Food was good. I had the almond crusted French toast and my husband had the breakfast special. Prices are alright, the restaurant itself is well maintained. We were not offered refills for water/soda/coffee at any time. Not sure if this was an off day or not, but we did not feel welcome. read more

Good pastries and cute quaint little shop good food good service with smiles awesome coffee

My sister and her husband have raved about this place for years and we finally got to see why. "Auntie" provided the best service and made us feel right at home. We had the cinnamon roll and beignets which are both a must. I follow that with the crab benny which I could eat everyday. I'll definitely come back any time we visit the coast. read more

The place is cosy in that it is two stories with limited room downstairs but more seating upstairs. We were greeted and seated right away though had expected a wait. Service was good throughout. They had some specials and I chose the fresh berry crepes. The crepes were nice and warm but the berries were cold and in a sauce-appeared to have been frozen. The taste was good but would have liked the berries to be warm like the crepes. That wouldn't have deterred me from going back. My family enjoyed their food. read more

Was looking forward to one last crab Benedict before we left town and had decided to eat local versus going to pig N'pancake that we KNOW has a killer crab Benedict for just about the same price. The "crab Benedict" was 2 essentially hard boiled "poached" eggs over multiple slices of hard tomato, avocado and literally a tablespoon of crab meat between BOTH pieces of English muffin. Served alongside hard potatoes that have absolutely no flavor. All this for $24. Very disappointing. When someone comes for a crab Benedict they usually expect the crab to be the star of the show. Unfortunately this crab Benedict should be labeled as a veggie Benedict because that's what it is. Unfortunately the table next to us ordered the same meal and their eggs as well were a hard boiled poached egg. Husband got the sausage breakfast burrito and said it was ok at best. Service was fast but should almost slow down in a sense to make sure that the food they're putting out is good quality. We unfortunately won't be back. Very frustrating to spend $50 on two coffees and breakfast when it's terrible. We won't be back unfortunately. Sad that we feel the need to go to a big corporate restaurant versus local. read more

A cozy spot right off Highway 101. The menu was a bit limited but they do ha GF options. We got the Monte Cristo and house potatoes with coffee. Coffee comes in a very large cup and they are good about checking on you. The Monte Cristo was 3 thick slices of French toast bread topped with powdered sugar. One deck had white cheese and a chicken breast tender and the other deck had a thick slab of ham and yellow cheese. They did not use deli meat which was a huge plus. They served it with a small dipping cup of syrup and I have no idea how they heated this sandwich but it was burn your mouth lava hot in temperature. The potatoes were brown crispy cubes. Likely they deep fry them but they were crispy and good. read more

My husband and I decided to check out this place after reading the reviews. It's a small place with limited parking but apparently, quite popular. My husband ordered the chorizo omelette and I ordered the Texas French toast. He said his was good but not amazing. My French toast was quite tasty. The space is a little cramped but the service was good. Overall, a solid breakfast place. read more

Was staying in Lincoln City for the weekend and wanted a quaint, non-franchised breakfast stop. This one was nearby, and ended up being a winner! I got French toast and a side of bacon and both were fantastic. The bacon was done perfectly and the French toast was so rich it didn't even need syrup. The service was fairly standard; I got a table immediately and had minimal waiting time for my order to be taken and prepared. Noticed some recent negative reviews and, while I did not try the cinnamon rolls specifically, the rest of what I read just doesn't jive with my experience. I would eat here again, no hesitation. read more

We stopped by Nelscott Breakfast House to get pastries to go, so take this review with a grain of salt if you plan on dining in. We initially wanted to sit down, but were told the wait would be 25/30 minutes even though there were a handful of empty tables in the restaurant. We ended up getting four cinnamon rolls to go, and we were all disappointed. While they were very large, the actual rolls were stale and hard - seemingly made days ago. The icing looked great, but tasted more like watered down, vanilla yogurt. It wasn't very sweet. I shared it with someone and we got tired of it about halfway through. This could have just been a weak area of their menu, but I can't recommend stopping by. read more

We came at Christmas time and what a lovely cafe. Christmas trees and lights with fireplace heaters! No wonder the parking lot is always packed. Previous failed attempts to stop for breakfast.

Well, after all of the great reviews, we settled on Nelscott. The food sounded good and the photos made it look good too. We left very confused to be honest. It wasn't very good at all actually. The front of the restaurant had "gods" special on a chalk board, and when we walked in it smelled of cleaning products. There was music playing pretty loud that was very clearly Jesus related. To each is own, but that's not my preference at breakfast. The service was very friendly. We were sat upstairs by ourselves. Coffee was fine. I liked that they had flavored Creamer. The food...we ordered the cinnamon roll a burger, and a Monte cristo. The roll itself was dry, and hot in the center and cool around the sides. The icing was actually really yummy. Tasted like they use yogurt instead of cream cheese. Would have been really good if the roll was fresh. The burger meat was chewy, and had an off taste sadly. We felt like it was possible cheap frozen beef. Not quality. The fries are battered and were really good and crispy. The Monte cristo came with home fries. They were leaching oil. And were burned. Completely inedible. The sandwich was not a Monte cristo to my likings. The French toast was fine. But the chicken patty was over cooked and the ham steak was soooo thick that it was just a salt bomb. There was no jam. Just syrup. All in all, I really want to give it two stars. But they were friendly. I think I would just stick with pancakes and French toast next time though. read more

Lincoln City's finest breakfast restaurant is the Nelscott Breakfast House cafe. The service was outstanding, prompt, and my coffee cup was never empty. I had the Crab omelette and it was delicious. It was a quiet place to eat and talk about our vacation, books we're reading, or just to reminisce about how fun our vacation was. There was a roughly 20 minutes wait for a table but that only indicates to me there's great demand to eat here. You won't be disappointed for waiting. We weren't and we'll be back here on our next Lincoln City visit. Highly recommended for you, too read more

We had breakfast this morning at Nelscott Cafe. The food was ok ....Unfortunately, the service we received was EXTREMELY disappointing and honestly overshadowed the entire experience. Our waitress was cold, unwelcoming, and noticeably rude from the start. It felt intentional and uncomfortable, and it set the tone for the rest of our visit. While everyone else seemed friendly, our interaction left us feeling brushed off and unwelcome. We came in hoping for a comforting breakfast, as we had just had really sad news and instead left feeling worse than when we arrived. It's unfortunate because the food was great, but service matters just as much and this experience really missed the mark. The older woman with grey hair and a face mask had no interest in taking care of her customers and it was made very obvious. read more

A charming small restaurant with a surprisingly homey feel and a variety menu. They have a lovely outdoor patio area and dogs are welcome (they even have a k9 menu)! Just come before the morning dog burns off it you will burn The service was friendly and fast, kept the coffee coming, and the food came much faster than expected. The OJ seems expensive at first then it comes and you realize it is fresh squeezed! Highlight of the meal in many ways. Overall the meal was a bit expensive (5$ for drip coffee, 4$ avocado side, the sides will kill you here) but the main meal was a reasonable amount. I'd come again anytime, one of my coastal favorites, just maybe get my coffee somewhere else first and bring a hat, just in case. read more

The service was prompt despite being busy and the food was good overall. There is a dog menu for guests seated outside. There is a distinctive religious atmosphere (religious music was playing) which I didn't care for despite being religious. The biscuits gravy was bacon based, whereas I prefer sausage based, but it's a plus for those who prefer that. The biscuits and pancakes were very good, and the rest of the food was passable. read more

I don't do reviews very often. But I just had to because this place ranked high so we thought we'd try it out. Way overpriced for bland food. I got crab Benedict. BARELY any crab. I think they put tomato and avocado to mask how little crab they use. You could literally put all the crab on one muffin and it still wouldn't have been enough to make a lump. Husband got the chorizo omelette. Again BARELY any chorizo. Just a small clump in the middle, it was literally a blanket of a scrambled egg wrapped with veggies and a tablespoon of chorizo. $50 was NOT worth paying for what we ate. Never again. read more

A Divine Diner Experience, Kinda... Walked into this spot expecting breakfast, but got an unexpected side of salvation! The food? Well, it was heavenly....if heaven is OK but overpriced. But hey, at least it wasn't a total "holy crap" moment, right? The servers were super sweet--angelic, even. But the real kicker? The LOUD gospel music blasting as if they were trying to save our souls through sound. It wasn't quite a "hallelujah" moment for our ears, more like a... holy ear-f*ck. By the end of the meal, we were 50% fed and 100% spiritually confused. Would I go back? Maybe--if I brought earplugs and a prayer for cheaper prices. read more
