A MUST VISIT! I stopped by after the minus tides at Seal Rock and this was a one minute drive from…read morethe park. I'm so glad I finally was able to try this place. The donuts were delicious and of course I had to get the whale-shaped one! The cream in the cream puff was probably the best I've had. And the lady who makes the donuts was very kind and helpful. They had a lot of ocean themed trinkets and goodies. The only addition I wish they'd have would be espresso to make lattes versus just drip coffee. But I definitely know where to go if I'm craving donuts the next time I'm on the coast!

We literally did a U-turn to visit this amazing place. Not only does it have cute things for sale,…read morethe main attraction is their cookies and donuts (shaped like whales and crabs). The people are so lovely and you can tell they are having fun and putting joy into their goodies. Stop here! Enjoy the place and the yummy treats!

They've come through for me…read moreso many times over the years when I'd forgotten to bring things I needed: a flashlight, a travel candle, and most recently a charging cord. And of course I find a lot of things I don't need, too! One of my favorite t-shirts came from here; it's got their store logo, which is an adorable little steampunk anglerfish. I'm so obsessed that I got a sticker with the same logo on it this trip (also, they have a lot of awesome stickers). On top of that, the staff are super friendly and welcoming! There's one delightful woman who has been there the last couple times, and she's a joy to chat with. I wish I had asked her name. I work retail myself, and she exudes the same warmth I try to give to all of my customers, too. It's not always an easy job, but you can tell when someone genuinely wants to make customers feel at home in their space and takes pride in their job. Also, I'm really obsessed with coming back and getting an anglerfish sweatshirt now.

So much that most likely you'll find something while perusing the store. They even have a baked goods case in front. Great little find in Yachats. Would recommend.

The owner is so wonderful, and her kindness and generosity just added to an already fantastic encounter. We'll definitely be back!

There were many unusual and delicious tea choices. From lavender grey tea to pink lemonade tea to amber bliss etc. There were tiers of goodies from little quiches to these amazing fruit cheesecake layers of awesomeness to a french bread/brie/berry jelly topped off with rosemary etc. She has some wonderful options of different flavored sugars such as ginger and lemon as an example. You may buy these wonderful delights and then include them in your tea or you can just lavish in sugar cubes. We actually ordered this amazing rose hips iced tea with frozen fruit and mint ice cubes. As part of the special tea party you also receive a lovely bouquet of flowers to take home. This, and Ms. Alice the amazing white fluffy bunny that would visit you from time to time.
