This coffeeshop has one of the biggest menus I’ve seen! It’s a bit hidden, walk into the Inverted Experience storefront and to the left is the cafe entrance. There are such fun combinations to try, and the baristas there are very friendly. Solid iced latte, I regret not trying one of their infused espressos though.

Awesome vibes, very queer and anarchist friendly space! Not only that, the food was absolutely delicious and my coffee was also fantastic. Cool little spot!

An unabashedly queer & nerdy place that’s Seaside’s best kept secret. They have a huge drinks menu, plus a whole book full of custom drinks you can order. Our lattes were delicious and they clearly have some talented (& friendly!) baristas working here. I loved the atmosphere of this place, and if I lived here it would be the only cafe I need. I wish I could pick up the whole place and take it with me back to Portland.

Build your own sandwich options on a bagel or croissant with a number of protein options and fun toppings like sun-dried tomatoes and pesto aioli. Sandwiches were delish! Dog-friendly too. And friendly staff.

Absolutely phenomenal vibe, hands down the best coffee shop I’ve seen from PDX all the way to seaside. The menu is outstanding, the care and love inside the shop just was wonderful. The incredible art and all the amazing things to look at can keep you entertained while waiting for your drink. I cannot wait to go back!

They have high quality coffee and baristas that know what they are doing. I love the ambiance of the cafe. I visited multiple times on my trip. The menu was very appealing and fun. The art was all very interesting and beautiful. I bought a few treasures from the little gift shop area. This is definitely somewhere I will return to every beach trip.

A totally trendy little coffee shop defiantly worth checking out. The coffee is very tasty and the staff is very nice friendly. There is basically no seating though, so best for morning coffee walk with your dog. Also they are very dog friendly and are happy with giving out puppacinos and dog treats. They have lots of cool little pro LGTBQ+ merchandise and lots of cool things to look at if they are busy. I wish I had the cash to but some of the cool stuff they had. All and all it was a wonderful experience will be visiting every year when we come so don’t go anywhere!

Coolest coffee shop I’ve ever visited. Creative flavors that are changed often. Local made art and jewelry. Always something new when I stop by. You can tell they put their heart and soul into this shop. Love it.

I’m house-sitting for 10 days in Seaside and I’ve been checking out the local coffee shops. Here is the first place where the staff was super friendly, the coffee was good, and the pastries were good too. I love the vibe and the staff were super cool. Aside from the coffee could have been a little more hot, everything else was pretty awesome. The experiences I had were less-than-stellar at other local places. If I could give 6 stars I would!!
