Wanda's delivered on all accounts this morning! Quaint little coffee and breakfast joint. We arrived around 8:15 on a Friday and had a 30-40 minute wait to be seated. It's worth it. We ordered a latte inside, perused the small gift/ bakery shop, and chatted outside while we waited. There's ample seating while you wait. But the best past was still ahead. When we were seated they led us to the unique back patio. It was enclosed, so I guess not technically a patio, but , WOW! So eclectically adorable. The artfully constructed wall with up-cycled windows, decorated with stickers, etc, was totally awesome. Absolutely love the vibe. The service was spot on: cheerful, answered our questions, checked in with us often. The menu offered something for everyone and the food was delicious. I ordered the 2x2x2, a heavenly plate with two thick, fluffy pieces of French Toast, 2 eggs, and 2 slices of bacon. Yum. I terrific option if you want quality classic breakfast items both sweet & savory. My friend loved her smoked salmon omelette. We both loved Wanda's and would definitely return! Oh, and the scones! We took a couple to go and my share of the chai maple was awesome, too! read more

Great food for the price. A cute place in a small town to enjoy breakfast and bake good

Hadn't been to Wanda's in about 20 years: very happy to see they're still there, though it's gone upscale and even more popular than the last time we were there. Parking is a bit insane (even on a Tuesday noon in early May), but it was worth it. Nice host/server, and the brunch fare (pepper-jack omelet and a breakfast sandwich) were tasty. The decor 20 years ago was all red-and-white gingham, and when they redid the place a few years back, we understand the old decor got sold off to benefit the local food bank. Cool gift shop up in front, and bakery items (cookies and cakes-by-the-slice) to go as well. We'll be back, hopefully sooner than another 20 years. read more

We tried this place out on a recommendation and we were glad we did! Pretty little place with some very good baked goods and breads ( on weekends) 4 of us had breakfast and we each tried something different. Everyone loved their meal From the 2x2x2 to the green chile omelette & fiesta potatoes & eggs Benedict! Staff friendly and efficient. Food came promptly and was fresh & hot.. coffee very good. We have ourselves recommended it since we were last there and hope to go back again when in the area read more

Wanda's Cafe was just what we needed to start our day. Honestly, it was all so delicious but their sourdough toast deserves its own shoutout because it was SO tasty. We showed up during a busy time so the wait was a bit long, but as soon as they get you inside they're pretty quick to get your food to you. All in all, a super cozy spot to get some quality breakfast food. read more

Wanda's Cafe + Bakery - Salmon omelet and veggie omelet - Bakeries Near Me - Nehalem, Oregon

Such a fun stop for for lunch. Something for everyone on the menu. A+ for the biscuits and gravy. In addition to the great ambiance and food they have a cute gift shop filled with Oregon items and bakery treats to take home. As a reminder they close at 2:00, we were almost turned away at 1:00 because the wait list was already running until closing time. Keep this in mind you need to arrive early. read more

Absolutely love this place! We come for breakfast all the time. The food is always so delicious and comes out fast and hot. Sometimes there is a wait, it's a small place, but it's totally worth it. The staff is always super nice too. We've never been disappointed! read more

We absolutely LOVED Wanda's! The wait was only 20 minutes during which they gave us free coffee and we sat outside by the fire. Inside was adorable and welcoming and food was delicious with great portion sizes. Service was super fast and friendly and the cinnamon roll was insane! Would definitely go back! read more

Great food, great service, cute internal design. Our favorite breakfast location in the Nehalem Bay Area.

Food and service were great. This is a nice little local place to go. The baked items are awesome.

Friendly service, cozy ambiance (love an Ella Fitzgerald playlist) and delicious food! Showed up with our pup on a Saturday morning with no wait. They have a nice patio but don't have service outside, so you order inside and they'll bring everything out in to-go containers. Nonetheless, the food came out so quickly. The Beachcomber was excellent and so filling - delicious gravy, the freshest fruit and a biscuit on the side (though I wasn't nuts about the biscuit). We also brought a cinnamon roll home and enjoyed that evening. Best cinnamon roll I've ever had. Can't believe it was only $8 for the size (it's huge). Am excited to visit again this summer! read more

Wanda's Cafe + Bakery - Cinnamon roll - Bakeries Near Me - Nehalem, Oregon

This place it is a "MUST" stop and enjoy! It was recommended to me by a local and boy was he right! The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. The restaurant has plenty of natural light and the bakery selection is vast so you won't be disappointed. I was driving to Seattle so this restaurant was on the way. I had a potato skillet with to eggs and the flavor just exploded with every bite. The waitress suggested that I tried the dipping sandwich and it was very well balanced. Between the roast beef, the onions and the au jus sauce it was the perfect flavor. The coffee it is strong so it will put some hair on your chest. They have fresh baked bread, granola, Cinnamon Rolls, cookies and MOREEE! If I am ever back in this area, I know where I am stopping. Thank you Julie for such a great service! read more

Wonderful food, warm friendly staff, very clean and cozy. Also local goods for sale and fresh baked items to take. Would highly recommend!! We will be back! read more

Ate here twice in one week. Need to go early to avoid the wait. Service and food are fantastic! Cute little gift shop, too.

Greeted right at opening by a friendly and conscientious crew, and we were served the first meal of the day out of the kitchen, so I was confused that my potatoes were cold. I flagged down the busboy. Maybe he was new, because there was a bit of a comedy of errors about my meal. Me: excuse me, my meal is cold He: oh, I don't know, ma'am Me: no. My food. It's cold. He: oh! Would you like me to put it under the heat lamp? Me: ummmm, I don't think the eggs (up) will survive that He: ok. How long would you like me to microwave it for? Me: I don't work here, so I don't know. How about you take it to the kitchen and let them figure it out? I snatched my house-made English muffin off the plate to snack on while I waited, and it was lovely. A new plate arrived in 5 minutes. Nothing special. Very cute decor. I love the hominess of the local flair. It's charming and eclectic but not overdone. The whole vibe is a labor of love from the owners. Just wish the food was better read more

Great service and unique surroundings. Never get tired of just looking around at all the decor , plants, ambiance is everywhere. The back outdoor sunroom is delightful. Food is fantastic! Best egg's Benedict hands down! Only recommendation is to add chicken fried steak to the menu. They have fantastic sausage gravy on their biscuits so just makes sense to have an additional protein item to the menu selections ( which is my husbands favorite by the way)! We will always stop there when in the area... they do it right!! read more

I failed. No photos of our delicious breakfast but oh yes!-go to Wanda's. Saturday morning we joined others outside waiting for a table (approx 15mins) Service is very swift and coffee is hot and not weak. Fun decor with photos maps and trinkets to look at on the walls and ceiling but in a cohesive way. Black and white buffalo check curtains keep the home style cozy vibe going. Be sure to grab pastries on your way out for later. And a bag of granola for tomorrow. And some bread. And maybe a game or gift. Seriously--fun stuff to browse and try. read more

Wanda's was is cute place. The ambience was great, we sat towards the rear where the plants and cool walls are, wry eclectic. The food was delicious, I had the smoked salmon omelette with the potatoes. The potatoes were soft and well flavored. The omelette was delicious with the dill spread on top. I also tried the biscuits and gravy and they were also delicious, the gravy was chunky and flavorful. I tried the Greek omelette and it was ok, but I'm not really a fan of Greek omelettes to be fair. This place is great overall, no complaints on the service. Must try if in the area read more

Good food. Terrible service. Rude ownership. Very small. No real ambiance, maybe store with tables? After ruining father's day and airing out my private conversation on Google, if this place has no haters I am dead. read more

Hands down the best eggs benedict I've ever had! My boyfriend was raving about this place on our whole road trip from Vegas. I was definitely not disappointed. Service was fantastic and the food was even better! read more

Been coming to Wanda's for years. Was concerned when it's sold to the new owners, but they did not disappoint. As always, I had the eggs Benedict, but I asked for the polenta toast. It was absolutely amazing. Everybody else had the salmon with dill sauce, omelette, which they have ordered every time we come here for the last 10 years. So obviously that means it's very enjoyable. The decor is absolutely adorable. Wonderful music, making it for a comfortable ambience. I recommend Wanda's shop and support small businesses read more

service, ambiance, food!! 10/10 recommend :) I had a salad, and forgot to request extra onions - server came back with a giant plate! Husband enjoyed his biscuits and gravy read more

Busy Saturday morning, however, service was friendly, attentive and fast! Food was delicious and filling--we couldn't quite finish everything. Lots of cute items on the walls. Only negative was the volume of the music made talking a bit difficult. read more

Edited a last time: To anyone reading this review - I encourage you to do a search for one star reviews for this business and read the owner's responses. It says everything about the culture of Wanda's. They may have good food - but there are restaurants in the area that have great food AND kind owners. Those are the establishments we choose to spend our dollars at. This owner feels entitled to attack anyone who has a complaint about his restaurant or staff - in a really unrelenting and concerning way. Edited to add in response to the owner's response: Thank you, Frank for confirming exactly what my review was about. Calling your female customers who leave bad reviews, "Karens," screams misogyny and anger issues towards women. I'm not entitled and I wasn't rude to your staff. I'm not that person. When they couldn't add our name, I thanked her and told her we'd try again when it wasn't so busy, even after her rude demeanor towards my husband and me. My problem wasn't being turned away, as I stated in my original review, it was the rudeness we received from your staff. But as you've demonstrated repeatedly, it's the Wanda's way. We've wanted to stop at Wanda's every time we drive by. We love a good brunch and it always seems packed. The timing has always been off, except the last time we were here. Granted, it was 45 min before close. They were busy and we were told they weren't seating anyone else. It happens, though at 45 min before close that seems weird. But the hostess was rude and there's no excuse for that. When we got back in the car we looked at the reviews, specifically the owner's responses to one star reviews. Businesses get 1 star reviews - sometimes for reasons beyond their control, but most of the time for things that can be improved. All bad reviews are a learning opportunity. And when a customer has a bad experience, it goes a long way when a manager or the owner hears, acknowledges and apologizes to them. We didn't see a single owner response that was kind. Instead they were defensive, rude and accusatory. We don't give our dollars to those types of individuals, no matter how good the food is. No wonder your staff is rude - they learn it from you. read more

Great place for a leisurely breakfast or lunch. Pleasant atmosphere and good (but predictable) food, whether you sit indoors or in the outside patio. The ambiance is just what you might hope to find in a seaside town. My only caveat: expect a bit of a crowd and some wait time if you visit during high season. read more

I have heard some wonderful things about Wanda's and finally had an opportunity to get firsthand experience. We arrived on a Wednesday morning about 11:00 and was informed of an hour wait. Wanda's has limited seating and limited kitchen capacity, so they control the order volume to keep quality and satisfaction levels up. 50 minutes later, we were seated in a cozy comfortable dining room that was nicely decorated country travel theme. The clean and sanitary lone restroom was decorated with white subway walls and penny tile floors. My two fried eggs cooked over medium with pepper bacon breakfast, sided with country fried potatoes were perfectly prepared and delicious. Due to my dairy allergy, I didn't have toast but the biscuit slathered with butter and Marionberry jam that my wife enjoyed looked like heaven. Will plan to return again soon as it was worth the drive 20 miles south of Seaside in Nahalem. read more

Wanda's Cafe + Bakery was such a nice stop during my time in the area. I ordered a 12 oz vanilla latte from their coffee bar and it was delicious + reasonably priced! I forgot to ask, but they have Sleepy Monk coffee beans for sale so I am assuming that's what they use in their coffee bar as well. That was neat for me because that was my original coffee stop plan to try, but their shop was closed on the day I was in the area so essentially I may of gotten what I wanted all along haha. Overall: their coffee was amazing. They also have the option to dine in for breakfast/lunch, but I just wanted caffeine the day I went. I definitely can say the coffee bar was an awesome choice for me though! read more

I'm sorry to see the quality of the food at Wanda's declining. The staff is amazing, but thrice cooked potatoes and tasteless omelets are extremely disappointing. Staff is still great. read more

Absolutely Amazing fresh made food! The Marion Berry jam was incredible. The service was great and a good value for the money.

We were really impressed with Wanda's. While staying in Rockaway with limited breakfast options, Wanda's seemed like our best bet. The service was wonderful, with only a ten-minute wait. However, parking was limited. Our server was attentive and available when needed but gave us space to enjoy our meal peacefully. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, featuring a cool outdoor/indoor dining area in addition to the regular dining area. The food was delicious, tasting homemade and fresh. We ordered the Juevos rancheros, a two-egg breakfast, and the eggs Benedict, and everything we ate was top-notch. Since we're at the beach for a few more days, we'll definitely be back to Wanda's. read more

This popular cafe is well worth the wait. The food is consistently good, the servers friendly (especially Brendan) and if you want to take home their delicious baked goods, be sure to choose them before your table is ready as the scones disappear quickly. We are so lucky to have Wanda's in Nehalem! read more

This cafe is lovely! Went for lunch while visiting cannon beach. The outdoor space is soooo adorable I was obsessed. Service was nice and attentive. I got the salmon Benedict and my boyfriend got the omelet with ham and both were delicious. I really enjoyed my meal. The chai latte was also very good and we also got the strawberry smoothie too and It was also very yummy! read more

This place is such a homey and cute spot in the heart of little Nehalem. They serve breakfast, lunch, and baked goods. The food is delicious and portions are nice. Had lunch here and enjoyed the turkey club and clam chowder. Also, the coffee is on point here with a nice selection of drinks and them Sleeping Monk beans. They do get busy, so be prepared to wait. read more

This place is fantastic. The servers are efficient and kind. The baked goods are delicious and repeatable. The vibe is kitschy and cozy but not cramped. It was pretty warm on the patio and the kitchen had to close early because it was way too hot in there--I think due to an AC malfunction, but not sure. The chairs don't have arms and are sturdy. I hadn't been here in a couple years and it was the highlight of my day at the coast. The breakfast grilled cheese sandwich special was amazing, and I loved that it came with its own little bottle of syrup. read more

My friends and I stopped by Wanda's after it was recommended by a couple we met at a winery close by. We didn't get to eat there, but got coffee and pastries on the go. They have a small parking lot and an outdoor seating area, which was really cute. They also had a lot of fun things in the front of the cafe that operated more like a gift shop with local goods. Their coffee was great and more artisan that a lot of cafes in the area + they had a lot of pastry options, but their giant cinnamon roll was definitely the most recommended and delicious! They will heat it up for you as well if they ask. Overall, such a fun stop in the area and they were so friendly and had great service. Highly recommend! read more

Great food, quiet place, a bit off the track but easy to get to. I always try to eat here if I am anywhere in the neighborhood. My only issue this past time was that I got there late in the day and a few of my favorites were already sold out, and they started putting away the pastries before I could purchase some for the road. And also since no reservations it is often too long a wait. Reminds me of one of my fave Yogi Berra sayings:"nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded". if only people stopped going so i could get in easily. Haha. read more

Had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. once seated waitress was speedy in taking drink order. Shane was also speeding in returning to take food order. My wife had the 2x2x2 ( eggs, slices of bacon and pieces of French Toast) and I had the Eggs Benedict and a 1/2 side of biscuits & gravy. My wife said her order was very good and my order was very good. We will definitely be stopping there again. read more
