Came here for a quick coffee and pastry over Memorial Day weekend. Since this coffee place is located right next to all the accommodations in the area, it was packed. We ordered a cold brew, an oat milk iced latte, and a scone. The latte was mid especially given the price at over $7. The cold brew was fine. The scone was a bit of an impulse purchase but was the best part of our visit. It was tasty and not at all dry. Service was slow but they were dealing with a lot of customers so I can't fault them for that during this visit. read more

I would love to give this little spot a 5 but unfortunately their coffee is not great. Not enough ice in the iced drinks and everything gets watery quickly plus the espresso hasn't been dialed in. I also wish they went for homemade syrups as opposed to toranni syrups as it would elevate their product immensely -- less can be more! The cold brew tastes a bit like gasoline but could be easily corrected with some experimentation. However, the food is great and the scones are a particular highlight. Even if I don't love the coffee, I still find myself driving an hour round trip for a scone and a beach walk :)) read more

Recently stayed near Cape Kiwanda and decided to give this place a try. My mom absolutely fell in love with their Haystack Cookie and they only had one left. We stayed for a while and the staff could overhear how much my mom loved the cookie. They made another batch and gave my mom a "to-go" cookie. They were so sweet here and it was just a super thoughtful gesture. Thank you for your staffs kindness. These small gestures of being kind "regardless of giving away something" can mean the world to someone as you never know what they are going through at the time. What you didn't know is we came here to spread our family's ashes and were on our way to spread them after having coffee. That's partly why it meant a lot to us read more

Delicious cookies and had an amazing matcha latte today too. Service was prompt and friendly, it was very busy when I went in but things came out timely and line went through smoothly. Great spot next to the beach so I'll be swinging by again. read more

Super cute shop with a nice vibe. Service was friendly too. Got a lavender honey later half sweet which was perfect and quite good! Also picked three pastries that were all delicious ad well. read more

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. read more

My Son and I were staying at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, and this Stimulus Coffee + Bakery was the most convenient breakfast choice. Good service too. I ordered a warmed up scone and coffee to take back to the room, which fit the bill nicely. BTW, their coffee is good, but the room coffee at the Inn was surprisingly good as well. read more

Stimulus Coffee + Bakery - Breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pacific City, Oregon

The location is great, right by the beach and parking. However, the coffee isn't great & everything is too expensive. Also, I ordered a strawberry lemonade (the normal lemonade is $4) and they charged me over $7 for it. Then, they ran out of lemonade so they just did half lemonade half sparkling water and didn't ask if that was ok and I had to ask to find out because it tasted so terrible. The inside order area is nice but the rest of it is pretty bland. The bakery items are at least yummy, but there are better places like Cold Water & Coffee that I'd rather go to. read more

Dropped in for a sweet treat and snagged myself a haystack cookie and their vegan, gluten free chocolate cupcake. Wow! The cupcake was amazing! Not what you'd expect for gluten free and vegan. So tasty and perfectly decadent. It was the best sweet treat! read more

Stopped in for an oat milk latte one morning and it was pretty good! Definitely a popular spot for breakfast, although I didn't try any food items on my visit. Service was efficient, there seemed to be a decent amount of seating inside but I took my beverage to go. I'd stop by again if I'm in the area and need a caffeine boost. read more

The coffee is pretty gross honestly. I feel like the only reason they stay opened is location. Just very bitter and way over priced to top it off. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is a pretty large place, with a good selection of coffee drinks. They also have food - and I had low expectations given the prices of nearby businesses. However, we had the grilled cheese sandwich and it was EXCELLENT. Really good, fresh, great bread - and reasonable price. We also had straight up coffee, also very very good. Service.. well you can't win 'em all. Not the friendliest - they seemed more interested in gossip than serving customers, so we actually had to wait until they finished their conversation before taking our order. read more

Very Disappointing. You can tell, in a town like Pacific city, the places that are tourist traps and the places that are authentic. Unfortunately this is the former. We paid 35 dollars for 2 cups of tea, 1 small pastry, and 1 stale breakfast sandwich that was soggy from being reheated in a microwave/toaster oven. We had high hopes after reading the description of this bakery on their website, unfortunately, it seems that they are a cafe with airport foodcourt style offerings and a great marketing team. Save your time and money and go a few blocks away to Grateful Bread instead. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Their scones are so amazing! Best scone I've ever had. Their decoration is super cute and their service is very quick. The lady that served us was very nice, overall it was a great experience. I also highly recommend the chai tea latte, best I've had in a long time. read more

While visiting this weekend I was disappointed to hear that you are no longer making the overnight oats! That was something my family and I would look forward to. With the remodel of the hotel there were multiple times where the shop would be closed down over our 4 nights in Pacific City. read more

This is definitely a place that you need to check out as they have pretty decent lattes and cappuccinos, including some of the most addicting cinnamon roll pastries. We have driven backwards when driving on the Oregon coast just to be able to get their cinnamon bliss pastry The service is good, and the employees are pretty friendly Ambiance wise is it is pretty inviting and definitely a place I recommend read more

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. read more

The sandwich we ordered was awful. It was a bacon, egg and cheese. The egg felt like rubber. We didn't even eat it. The bacon was under nooked, and I say nooked because they put it the toaster. Twice actually. We also ordered a blueberry Scone. Now that was delicious. We went in for coffee and it was not bad but not good. Nothing special or remarkable read more

Oregon is home to many well crafted cafes full of artisanal drinks and speciality beans. Around Portland there's no shortage of new shops and cafes and around the coast area there's places like Ultra Life that is phenomenal with the beverage and food menu. In Pacific City, Stimulus coffee does it right, beautiful modern and spacious interior and cozy seating. The bakery smells of fresh baked goods filled the air. The tea latte London fog was especially on point. Earl grey steeped long enough to allow the flavor and floral aroma to disperse into the right temp water and then fully frothed oatmilk and vanilla syrup to create a wow factor of taste. It's a good spot to check out read more

There is no customer service. I ordered food and waited 20 minutes, had to get in the long line again and they said they had sold out! At no point did they say anything. They said they tried to call my number but I was standing right next to the pick up area the whole time. Then they said it should be credited back by 4pm when they close out the till. That didn't happen!! So no food and take my money and nobody cared. Worst experience I've had in my life. read more

They make wonderful coffee, and bake their pastries in house. A perfect combination! Went when they first opened for the day. Traffic in, and out was quite steady. You definitely get the vibe that the locals, along with the tourists come here. Not just for their breakfast sandwiches. bagels, scones, etc and coffee. read more

Stayed at the hotel above, made an order to be delivered. 30 mins later we figured it never went through, the girl at the counter had a really blank stare and seemed confused as if they were out something. Mentioned next time, they should let us know if they couldn't fulfill the order rather than have us waiting in our rooms. Could not even process a refund until a manager was back onsite. Overall a confusing experience. read more

I stopped by for a quick bite to eat and wanted to grab a grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was really good but wasn't your typical grilled cheese. It was more of a breakfast sandwich than a grilled cheese. Overall great coffee and good place to stop and look at the water in the morning. read more

you guys this place had the best matcha I have ever had. I drank so much of there matcha that I had to leave because I would have spent all my money on this matcha. The only downside of this place is that it's 5 hours away from where I live and the crazy thing is I would drive here just to drink there matcha. Usually coffee shops make there matcha different every time just depending on who makes it. But this place make the same consistent flavor every time. Overall, still love this matcha and can't have any other kind because none compare to this one. 10/10 matcha. read more

Great coffee, but very expensive compared to other shops in Pacific City. The views are what make this place worth the stop, you can sit at the bar or a padded bench nook and gaze at the ocean. Their pastries are made in-house and are unique and delicious. Service is always fast and baristas are very sweet. read more

Wife and I decided to stop in since we love to try new local coffee shops wherever we go. This place is not a shock and awe type coffee place. Really being the only place for decent coffee in the local area. Just had a standard Mexican Mocha and it was a little overloaded with sweetness. Wife had a hot latte and it was ok. Both of us didn't finish our coffees. "Unlike us." When we come to visit again. I'll give this place another shot and try something else. I feel this place is a decent place and I'd still recommend anyone to come and grab a cup and support the local business. read more

Can I give them a zero? We were in Pacific City on 09/07/25 for vacation. Google said that Stimulus opened at 6 AM So we got there about 6:20 AM. Some lights were on and product was in the cases but the door was locked. The sign on the door also said open at 6. There was an employee inside but she wouldn't come to the door. We waited awhile until someone else a door down stuck her head out and said that starting today, they open at 7 instead of 6. We came back after 7 and the employee that wouldn't come to the door earlier, was the same one that waited on us. There was no "good morning" or "how can I help you" from her. We asked for a cinnamon bliss pastry but the employee said they didn't have any. We asked about a pastry in the cases that looked like it was cinnamon but the employee ignored us. We did buy two slices of quiche, a scone and a plain bagel. The food was just ok. My plain bagel wasn't any better than a store bought Pepperidge Farm Bagel. Not inexpensive and not worth the hassle. read more

I'm visiting for the weekend from Portland and have been here 3 times for coffee. The coffee is okay, nothing amazing or terrible. The customer service on the other hand is horrible. The girl behind the counter is very unfriendly and unwelcoming. read more

They called me out over a room/line of about 2 dozen people to leave my service dog outside. I tried to go online to place an order (down) and I tried to call and they were about to take an order and then refused because I wasn't in a hotel. I did not have the good fortune of having any other people with me so after walking for an hour on the beach thinking about this coffee shop, I was insanely disappointed. read more

Before exploring cape Kiwanda, we wanted to grab some coffee and a small bite for breakfast. This place came up and we decided to give it a shot! Parking is tricky right now because of construction, so we parked behind (even though it says for certain visitors only). Unfortunately, I think this was our last favorite coffee of the bunch. The lattes just tasted bitter and a bit burnt. But the sandwiches did help redeem it! We both got egg and bacon, and the fresh roll it was on was delicious. We'd come back for the food, but probably skip the espresso. read more

It is a nice place, but I don't go anymore because the music is way too loud to have a nice chat with a friend or work on my laptop. I use to go a lot (local -family has a house in the area, but my latest visit the music was way to loud and I kindly asked the barista if he could turn it down a little and he gave me a line that corporate won't let them. Hmmm... it wasn't like that a week earlier. read more

My friends & I recently spent a week in Pacific City, OR & just picked this coffee shop out of a hat one morning. It had the best view in town (literally across the parking lot from the ocean & some cliffs...OF INSANITY!!) so it seemed like a no-brainer. Believe me when I say that you should stop what you're doing & GO TO THIS COFFEE SHOP! Their pastries are ridiculously good! I got a Beach Bun (savory roll with lemon zest & cardamom) & a puff ball pastry of some sort made of cheese, puffy pastry stuff, & what the Japanese call "umami". My friend said their Egg Bites are ridiculously fantastic & the Açaí Overnight Oats were perfect. The coffee drinks were perfect & the Dirty Chai was the big hit. In 6 days, we came back 4 times (if that tells you anything). Come for the beautiful Pacific City, OR coast; stay for the Stimulus Coffee & Bakery treats! read more
