"Charming to visitors and residents alike, Coffee Girl has one of the most scenic river views in town — perched out on Pier 39 in Astoria’s Uppertown district on the east side. Occupying a building that formerly housed the historic Bumble Bee cannery on the Columbia River, it’s open seven days a week with a menu of espresso drinks, pastries, and savory dishes like quiche and soups. It’s an ideal place to take family who are in town for a weekend (the complex has not only views of ships but also a cannery museum and fish market) or to work in a quiet corner. The long deck overlooking the river still functions as a dock, so occasionally you’ll see a boat pulling up." - Jennifer Burns Bright
