By The Way
564 Pacific Way, Cannon Beach, OR
Crema's Take
“This tucked-away gem in Cannon Beach radiates the kind of intentional care that shows in every espresso pull and freshly baked pastry from Dough Dough Bakery—regulars rave about the Marionberry Scone and the atmospheric attention to detail that makes it feel less like a coffee shop and more like a beloved local secret. Whether you're camping out with your laptop, meeting a friend, or just seeking a "chill coffee hang out," the thoughtful owner has created a warm, clean space with both indoor and outdoor seating that somehow manages to feel both cozy and sophisticated. It's the kind of place that makes accidental discoveries feel like the best kind of finds.”

A truly atmospheric little coffee shop with exceptional coffee and delicious pastries. You can feel the care and intention in every detail. What deserves special respect is the owner’s commitment: while many cafés are closed or shut early on weekends, this place stays open and welcoming. That choice alone speaks volumes about the level of service and dedication here. It’s the kind of spot you’re genuinely grateful to find.
We come to the coast every year. Typically, we stay in Cannon Beach or Seaside but this time stayed with friends in Gearhart and happened upon this By The Way by accident on our first day. The coffee was fantastic, Dave was friendly and funny, and the store was quaint and clean. The berry scone was delicious! The next day we decided to visit a coffee shop in CB and waited in line for 30+ minutes and much to our disappointment our coffees were not good. We ended up tossing them and headed back to Gearhart to have Dave make us one of his coffees. They were just as yummy as the day before. We also went the following day. We highly recommend!
Bakery items fresh daily from Dough, Dough Bakery. The Marionberry Scone is great. We will return
Very pleasant. Good coffee and a great gift shop. The day we were there not that many pastries available. Very clean restroom facilities. There is indoor and outdoor seating.
Amazing place! Love it! My favorite chill coffee hang out place. Delicious coffee and treats. Great ambiance and cute little gifts for everyone.
