Blue Agate Cafe

Best breakfast in the Tillamook area! The crab cake breakfast is amazing and the outdoor seating is protected from the wind, so you can be out there even when it isn’t super warm.

Fantastic! One of our favorite places on the coast! We go here for breakfast and lunch every time we visit Oceanside. The biscuits and gravy are great! Also, try the pulled pork tacos.

Worth driving from Boise for the beach comber breakfast! The baby seals were so cute to watch! Love love love

We stayed at a beach house down the road from this café. I have to say this is one of the best breakfasts I have ever had on the coast. It was very fast and the service was very pleasant. Highly recommend.

The coffee was hot a delicious. Serve yourself coffee bar. My husband said the breakfast burrito was delicious. I had the crab cakes & eggs… Melts in your mouth. Some of the best cakes I’ve ever had! The side of red breakfast potatoes were crunchy, soft and so good all at the same time. 20 steps from the beach! Highly recommend.

Good lunch stop. Small but good menu — sandwiches and tacos. Nice beer and wine list too. Not a lot of tables inside so it could get crowded in busier season? Service was nice and casual — not rushed.

Looks like the foodie scene of Portland hasn’t caught on yet in Oceanside… it was a disappointing experience. The views were gorgeous, absolutely incredible, but the service was super slow and the quality of the food was poor. Not creative, not unique or fun or innovative. Very «meh». Probably wouldn’t return.

Friendly, fast service. Had breakfast there and I loved the home style fried potatoes. I especially liked that they do not add onions to them like so many places do. They were the perfect mix of crisp and soft potatoes you get when cooked in a cast iron skillet. We went there because of the reviews on the biscuits. I was disappointed when I saw them as they were very white, not the nice golden color you would expect. However they had a great texture and flavor. Would definitely go back again.

Great little place prices are decent and they chicken melt is amazing the hours a little weird with they were open more frequently or more steady hours.

Really good food… Will return soon (I hope).
The staff was so nice, sweet and attentive.
The view was lovely…
I might have to stay in Oceanside next time so I can just walk to this café. :)

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in a LONG time. I highly recommend the biscuits — plain or with jam or gravy.
They are phenomenal. I’m a bit of a biscuit snob and these are made with real milk, and fresh ingredients.
And are HUGE.
My breakfast partner got a crab, avocado, egg scramble which was equally wonderful.
The view is amazing, the coffee is excellent and the staff is great.

Met a friend here for lunch. I had the fish tacos, friend had the pulled pork. Both were delicious! The food ranges in price from around $ 9 – 14, great selection of soup/​salad/​sandwiches. I also had an iced mocha and was impressed with the coffee. Staff were friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and plan to visit again next time I’m in town!

We are lunch there recently. They were kind enough to accommodate us even though they were about to close.
The food was nothing short of amazing! We had fish tacos, pan seared fish and the shrimp melt.

Went for breakfast. Good service. Decent food at a decent price. Pancakes were very large and fluffy. You can tell that this restaurant is a great place to take in the sunset. The view is beautiful!

Loved this cute little place. Very interesting menu, I had the crab tacos which were delicious! The topper was the clam chowder, the best I have had on the coast! Topped all that off with a Berry wine spritzer. Happy girl!

I have eaten here twice and it is amazing.
This is a tiny restaurant in a tiny beach town — can’t be more than 5 – 6 tables. Both times it was busy but we managed to get a table quickly.
My first visit was for breakfast, and it was the most delicious thing I have ever had. House-​made everything right down to the jam, served promptly, hot, and just as ordered. The breakfast experience I have been looking for!
My second visit was for lunch, I had the club sandwich, which was delicious, no problem with special requests, hot and prompt.
The service is friendly, the kitchen is open so you can see the small staff working hard on their amazing food, and the prices are great — oh, and the ocean view? That’s gravy. Did I mention their gravy? SO GOOD.
The coffee is self-​serve, with a mish-​mash of mugs that feels homey, and I have zero problem getting it myself so I never wait (not that the attentive servers here would ever make anyone wait)
If you are anywhere near this place ever — EAT HERE.

Up there with one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. The crab cakes are AMAZING. Say the reviews on here and had to try them. Soooo glad I did. So tasty and flavorful. Really nice people working there. Beautiful view. There was plenty of parking when I got there in the morning. Most days they open at 9am. One of the days I think said 8am. Call and check.

My wife and I went last year for our anniversary. I order fish tacos everywhere I go. In a word amazing. So much so that I am taking her back to surprise her for my birthday on Friday. What an awesome little place. Love it!

After an awesome trip to Portland where we ate tons of great food, Fiancé and I are already planning to come back to this place.
We were in Portland for the week. We decided to rent a car and drive to Cape Meares Lighthouse by way of the Tillamook National Forest. It was a beautiful drive, and by the time we got to the coast, we were starving. Fiancé had been pushing for this Blue Agate Café place, and we used what little cell phone reception we had to GPS our way to its tiny parking lot.
Blue Agate Café is tiny, really tiny. If you’re not looking for it, you could easily miss it. It’s run by two friendly guys who (I believe) are brothers. Despite it being only 11, they agreed to serve us lunch. We each ordered a bowl of Blue Agate Seafood Chowder and the Crab and Shrimp Melt. I will never forget this meal: it was that good.
The Chowder’s incredible. Go for the bowl, not the cup. You won’t regret it. But this melt. You guys. It’s freaking amazing. Fresh, basily, HUGE portions of seafood, delicious pesto… my mouth is watering as I type this. We enjoyed lunch and a cold beer and looked out at the water. It was perfect.
I know this place is known for it’s breakfast, and I’m sure it’s incredible, but go order that sandwich. I’m serious.

Thank you, fellow Unilocalers for sending us here. Almost passed it up, because no one was in there. It was the dinner hour, and I think they are known for breakfast/​lunch.
The service was (of course) excellent :)… But the food was amazing! House made manicotti filled with shrimp and fresh bay crab… ricotta was balanced with garlic and Parmesan, and the bechamel on top was bubbly and browned in the edges… Best seafood manicotti ever!
It was so good that we decided to try them out for breakfast the next morning. Did. Not. Disappoint. The crab cakes are among the top five I’ve ever had in my life, and the red potatoes were perfectly crisped and seasoned…
It’s a family affair here, and the service is perfectly casual friendly, as you’d expect in a surfer community. I look forward to my return to Oceanside, and this perfectly perched bistro overlooking the three arches…
