Cannon Beach Restaurants

Bakeries, fish-market counters, chowder, and small dinner rooms span downtown, midtown, and Tolovana.

Four useful comparisons

Choose by kitchen, setting, and beach access

Downtown favors bakery breakfasts and casual counters. Midtown puts dinner beside Haystack Rock, while Tolovana keeps breakfast and chowder close to south-end lodging.

Cannon Beach Bakery or Lazy Susan

Cannon Beach Bakery is the quick downtown choice for bread, pastries, and coffee before the beach. Lazy Susan Cafe serves a sit-down breakfast or lunch nearby when you want a full meal before the galleries or north-end beach.

Ecola Seafoods or Mo's

Ecola Seafoods is a downtown fish-market counter for fish and chips, chowder, and crab between Hemlock Street and the central beach. Mo's serves chowder and familiar Oregon-coast seafood in Tolovana, convenient for families and south-end lodging.

Wayfarer near Haystack Rock

Wayfarer Restaurant & Lounge pairs an ocean-view dining room with seafood and Pacific Northwest dishes in midtown. It is close to Haystack Rock but farther from downtown galleries and Tolovana; reserve on busy weekends.

Juno's or Stephanie Inn

Juno's Kitchen & Bar is a small dinner room for contemporary Pacific Northwest cooking. Stephanie Inn Dining Room offers a more structured prix-fixe dinner south of downtown. Both call for checking current service days and reservation requirements before the trip.

First-night pick

Wayfarer Restaurant & Lounge

4.2 ★

An ocean-view restaurant near Haystack Rock serving seafood and Pacific Northwest dishes. Its midtown location pairs naturally with the central beach, and the view-oriented dining room is worth reserving on busy weekends.

Special dinner

Stephanie Inn Dining Room

4.7 ★

A polished prix-fixe dining room at Stephanie Inn south of downtown. Choose it for a structured special dinner rather than a flexible walk-in meal; access, seating format, and reservation requirements should be checked with the inn.

Breakfast / coffee

Lazy Susan Cafe

4.6 ★

A downtown sit-down café for a slower breakfast or lunch, rather than a quick pastry stop. Its central location works before galleries or the north end of the beach; opening days can narrow outside peak season.
