Whether you are looking for a morning coffee and pastry, lunch or a seafood dinner, Offshore Grill & Coffee House in Manzanita has something for everyone.

The restaurant offers a comfortable environment with shaded outdoor seating on a grassy area facing Laneda Avenue, the city’s main street.

Owners Jake and Michelle Burden recently relocated the restaurant from Rockaway Beach to the space formerly held by Bread and Ocean.

Just a couple of blocks from the beach, you can order a cup of coffee for your walk or order to-go for a picnic. While waiting for your order, you can browse Cloud & Leaf Bookstore and other nearby boutiques and art galleries.

Offshore Grill & Coffee House uses locally-sourced products and ingredients, including oysters and clams from Willapa Bay and coffee from Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters in Cannon Beach.

Starters include Willapa Bay steamer clams served on a house-made baguette, filthy fries with crispy pork belly, Mama Lil’s pickled goat peppers, green onions, pecorino cheese and “disaster sauce.”

There are a variety of sandwiches and burgers to choose from including the Offshore Burger on a pub bun and a local black cod ’poboy with Oregon Coast remoulade on a hoagie roll.

Popular entrees include pan fried Willapa Bay oysters and fresh Dungeness crab cakes.
