Great vibe and thoughtful service, though the iced tea missed the mark…read more ​We stopped by this beautiful café during a day trip to Astoria, and it completely won us over with its cozy atmosphere and kind hospitality. ​We ordered the Tempeh Reuben: grilled tempeh, house-made sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese with house-made Reuben sauce on their signature scorcher rye. It was absolutely outstanding! Every ingredient felt incredibly fresh and vibrant. The rich flavors of the grilled tempeh and the perfect tang of the sauerkraut paired beautifully with the hearty, fresh-baked rye. ​The service was also wonderful and incredibly thoughtful--they noticed we were sharing and kindly split the sandwich into two separate plates for us before bringing it out, which we truly appreciated. ​The only downside was the iced tea, which unfortunately tasted quite watered down and lacked flavor. Aside from that, it's a fantastic spot. If you're exploring the historic streets of Astoria and looking for high-quality, conscious food, this place is definitely worth a visit!

We visited the Blue Scorcher to get outlet caffeine fix before traveling on. The honey latte was…read moreexcellent and I enjoyed a matcha latte. The baked good offerings looked amazing. Since we had just eaten breakfast elsewhere we did not purchase any but wanted to. They also had a small menu offering breakfast and lunch, including vegan offerings. The interior was cute and quaint with bar seating along the front window and tables with chairs throughout. The service we received was great, friendly, and expedient. Make this a stop on your way through Astoria!

I have a fondness for international markets and sandwiches. So it was fortuitous to visit Gaetano's…read moreMarket & Deli in Astoria. It reminded me of two Italian spots in Seattle's Pioneer Square. Very popular since most of the onsite seating were occupied (6/20/25). No surprise after glancing at their menu, easily I could gravitate towards several of their sandwiches. Lots of merch and deli items are also available to select from. I ended up ordering a half pound of proscuitto (0.52 lb for $17.67). This was carefully sliced thin, packaged, and wrapped carefully, which was duly noted and greatly appreciated. We paused at window counter seats and had to sample the purchase before departing. Absolutely delicious! Helped elevate a meal the next day too. I may have to return to indulge in one of their Italian sandwiches. Update: we did return to dine onsite at the same window counter seats (6/22/25). The Homie had the Hot Meatball ($14). Meaty with zesty sauce. I had the Salami Panini ($12), which reminded me of a fave Italian panini at Irwin's Bakery & Cafe in Seattle. Both were fantastic, hit the spot, clean plate club worthy, and definitely no takeout boxes needed! Gaetano's Market & Deli, a terrific find in Astoria!

Astoria Co+op, which is across the street from a Shell Gas Station, is a market that has a little…read moresalad bar and deli that also sells prepared meals and even has a little dining area for you to eat your food. Because we were driving through on our road trip, we decided to make a stop here for a late lunch this last Tuesday afternoon, around 2:15 pm. After we parked, we walked inside and headed towards the salad bar/ hot bar food area. After looking around (there is also a counter that you can order made to order sandwiches and burritos), I ended up deciding to purchase the following: Peanut Chicken Sesame Noodle Salad, $8.99- This was quite a massive portion so I only ended up eating about 1/3 of it and then had the rest over the next few days (I ended up mixing it with some chopped cucumbers and tomatoes that I had to make a large salad). I loved the peanut sesame dressing and noodles in this salad but wished there was more chicken. Mayak Egg Noodle Bowl, $8.99- My husband picked this salad for himself but I didn't have any. He thought it was good and appreciated something fresh, as his bowl had shredded cabbage, like my salad, and cucumbers and shredded carrots. Pumpkin Pie, $6.99- My husband saw this small pumpkin pie and decided to get it because he is such a big fan of it. I actually don't like pumpkin as much as when I was much younger. But I did like this pie and thought the flavors were well balanced, not too overly sweet. ---------------------------------------- (Total= $24.97) I really appreciated that the little dining area (there is also an outdoor dining area as well but because it had rained previously, we opted to sit inside) had plastic bowls and plates available for you to put your food in. This was helpful for me to be able to thoroughly mix my noodle salad since the dressing was mostly on the bottom. Then after I mixed it, I just put it back in the plastic container and only left about 1/3 of the salad in my bowl to eat. If I lived in this area, I would definitely be a regularly of this market (specifically for the prepared food area).

Inferno Lounge is such a fun and memorable place! The modern inferno theme, darker décor, and…read morelively vibe create an atmosphere that feels both stylish and unique. Add in the incredible views of the Columbia River, and it's easily one of the coolest places in Astoria to relax and enjoy a drink. The cocktails are creative, beautifully crafted, and absolutely delicious. Their clam chowder is fantastic too. Thick, hearty, and loaded with meat, with a great consistency and a rich, classic chowder flavor. There was also a subtle hint of fennel that gave it something a little different without overpowering the traditional taste. After doing a chowder crawl and trying 10 different restaurants around Astoria, I would confidently put Inferno Lounge in second place, just behind Portway Tavern. Between the amazing river views, fun atmosphere, inventive drinks, and outstanding chowder, Inferno Lounge is definitely a place worth visiting!

I decided to order a variety of items, hot matcha tea, a tuna roll, miso soup and a donburi. The food and service was amazing. The fish was the freshest i've had in a while, everything was great! The miso does have a shrimp base that i was not a huge fan of, i don't like the shellfish flavor is all. The only other critique i had is the roll was a little heavy on the rice vs fish ratio, however the freshness of the tuna was worth it. I was expecting to have leftovers for lunch the following day and i ended up eating my entire meal lol if you're visiting the area this place is a must try! Reasonably priced and delicious.
