    Side salad

    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.

    Really good food for the prices. Highly recommend the steamer clams. The pizza had a great thin crust and good quality toppings.

    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.
