Crema's Take
“Controversial Coffee is a vibrant community hub on the Oregon coast that serves excellent Sleepy Monk espresso alongside playfully named drinks and stellar croissant sandwiches in a warmly welcoming space. What truly sets them apart is their genuine commitment to activism and support for their unhoused neighbors, paired with an infectious sense of humor and LGBTQ+ friendly spirit that makes every visit feel like joining something meaningful. Whether you're settling in for their thoughtfully crafted chai, grabbing a "pay it forward" coffee, or just soaking up the cozy atmosphere and A+ meme game, you'll find a place that cares as much about community as it does about craft.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Very very nice place. Felt very comfortable the minute I walked in the door with my partner and their other partner. 10/10 would go back. Also if I lived in Seaside I would frequent the place constantly

A cozy little spot with really good coffee. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and I love that they offer a “pay it forward” option, it adds a thoughtful touch to the experience. A great place to stop by for a cup of coffee and a bit of kindness.
This was such a fun stop for my boyfriend and i on our trip to the coast! A+ meme game, funny drink names, very lgbtq+ friendly. Sadly we only got coffee, not food, but the coffee was amazing!!
