Elk Creek Coffee sits just off Hemlock Street on the north end of Cannon Beach — a quiet pocket away from the town’s busier corners. The space is clean and relaxed, with a modest interior that feels both calm and well-kept.
Coffee is brewed from Caravan Coffee beans and served across a short, thoughtful menu. The Americano and seasonal caramel cold brew are staples, alongside Dale’s Favorite — a house special that leans smooth and balanced. Drinks are built with consistency in mind, without overcomplication.
The bakery turns out both sweet and savory items, rotating scones and biscuits by season. Standouts include chocolate chip coconut scones, bacon and brie biscuits, and peach scones made with fruit from nearby Baird orchards. Options change regularly but maintain a tight focus on fresh prep and familiar combinations.
Elk Creek stays busy without being hectic. It draws a mix of locals and travelers looking for a quieter alternative to the main drag. There’s no heavy signage or waitlist system — just a steady stream of coffee, baked goods, and a place to pause before or after the beach.
