Pacific Grind Cafe is a locally owned Lincoln City restaurant and coffee shop in the historic Taft District, serving espresso drinks, premium bagels, egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos, pastries, and lunch. The colorful cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, a drive-through, and a newer vintage clothing shop next door.

We first wrote about this cheerful Highway 101 stop in 2023 because of its bagels and flavored cream cheeses. Pacific Grind has evolved since then, but it remains the kind of relaxed neighborhood cafe that works equally well for a quick coast-road breakfast or a slow coffee before exploring Siletz Bay.

Pacific Grind Cafe at a Glance

What to Order at Pacific Grind Cafe

The official menu covers more territory than the typical grab-and-go coffee stand. You can keep breakfast simple with a bagel and spread, build a more substantial egg sandwich, order a breakfast burrito, or stop later for soup and a sandwich. Here are the choices that stand out.

Premium Bagels and Flavored Spreads

Bagels remain the reason many travelers remember Pacific Grind. Current choices listed by the cafe include plain, parmesan, everything, multigrain, cinnamon raisin, and jalapeño cheddar. Spread options go well beyond plain cream cheese, with sun-dried tomato pesto, Tuscan veggie, smoked salmon and chive, mixed berry jam, and butter.

Our longtime favorite pairing is the everything bagel with sun-dried tomato pesto spread. If you want a stronger taste of the coast, try the smoked salmon and chive spread. Selection can vary, so the pastry case and menu board are worth checking before you decide.

Egg Sammies and Breakfast Burritos

Pacific Grind's egg sammies are served with a house-made pepper-parmesan sauce on an English muffin, with options to substitute a bagel, croissant, or gluten-free roll. Current combinations include bacon and Tillamook cheddar, ham and Tillamook Swiss, sausage and cheddar, and a meat-free tomato, provolone, and basil version.

The burrito lineup includes a classic with hickory-smoked bacon, vegetables, black beans, scrambled egg, and cheese, along with veggie and veggie-deluxe versions. These are practical choices when you want something filling before a long beach walk or a day exploring Lincoln City.

Coffee, Lattes, and Specialty Drinks

The full coffee bar offers espresso, drip coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, chai, tea, and blended drinks. Pacific Grind lists more than 50 flavors, including classics such as vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate as well as lavender, maple, coconut, fruit flavors, and seasonal specials. Sugar-free flavors and non-dairy milk alternatives are available—ask the barista about current choices.

Lunch and Baked Treats

If breakfast has already passed, the menu includes sandwiches such as the Pacific Grind BLT, ham and Swiss, and the Americano, made with turkey, bacon, Tillamook cheddar, chipotle aioli, and tomato. Soup may be available, and the bakery selection rotates among scones, pastries, cookies, and other treats from Oregon-based Marsee Baking.

More Than Coffee: P-Grind Vintage

The biggest addition since our original visit is P-Grind Vintage. Located next to the cafe's “fishbowl” seating area, the shop carries a rotating collection of vintage apparel, one-of-a-kind finds, and Pacific Grind merchandise. Because vintage inventory changes constantly, think of it as something to browse rather than a store with a predictable catalog.

It gives the cafe a little more personality and makes lingering over a latte feel like part of a Taft District morning instead of merely a caffeine stop.

What the Cafe Is Like

Pacific Grind feels casual, colorful, and community-minded. Indoor seating works well when coastal weather turns wet, while the patio is a welcome option on a clear day. The drive-through is useful for travelers who want to stay on Highway 101, but going inside gives you a better look at the pastry selection and vintage shop.

The cafe is in the historic Taft area of southern Lincoln City, close to Siletz Bay, the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, and the access points around SW 51st Street. It is an easy breakfast stop before exploring the bay or continuing south toward Gleneden Beach and Depoe Bay.

Is Pacific Grind Cafe Worth a Stop?

Yes—especially if you want a casual local breakfast, a well-made coffee, or a drive-through option in south Lincoln City. The flavored bagel spreads and egg sammies give it more personality than a standard coffee chain, while P-Grind Vintage makes the stop newly interesting for returning visitors.

Our pick: an everything or parmesan bagel with sun-dried tomato pesto spread, or a sausage-and-cheddar egg sammie with a latte. Check the official menu for current prices and seasonal specials.
