Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters

Sleepy Monk Coffee is hands down one of the best coffee spots in Cannon Beach! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a quaint, local charm that makes you want to stay for hours. The coffee is outstanding – rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. They have a great selection of espresso drinks, and everything I tried was exceptional in quality and flavor. The fresh pastries are a delightful bonus, perfectly complementing their coffee. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to make recommendations. If you're a coffee lover visiting Cannon Beach, this place is a must-stop. You won’t be disappointed!

What I love most about small business coffee shops is the atmosphere and the drinks, but when I tell you this little shop has everything I mean it. The workers are extremely kind, the vibe is inclusive and supportive- just eccentric enough to be fun and quiet at the same time. The coffee is SO GOOD and the pastries are so yummy. The prices are fair, too, which can be a difficult find in tourist towns! If you’re visiting the area or just passing through I urge you to go out of your way to visit Sleepy Monk. This shop is authentic. Visiting here made my whole day.. They also love dogs so go get your pup a treat too. 🐶💕

Great, fun, quirky coffee shop in the heart of Canon Beach. The pastries are delicious, coffee is good, and the staff is really lovely. Be prepared to wait in line, but it generally moves along pretty well.

I remember when this place just opened up way back. It was a welcoming option compared to Starbucks even back then. At that time lines were short. Nice coffee to awaken you at a misty Cannon Beach morning. Every year we came back the lines got longer and longer. But the wait was worth it. Best coffee shop in Cannon Beach hands down.

We wanted to find a local coffee shop while in town and found Sleepy Monk and thought we'd try it. The baristas were quick and friendly, although there was a wait to get them. All 7 of us got a flavored latte, including a couple dirty chais. While we appreciated the less sweet lattes and milk substitutes, we all thought the espresso was very light in taste and we could primarily taste milk. I would suggest an additional shot if you are wanting something stronger in taste and don't mind the caffeine. We would however go again and love supporting local.

Great coffee, gluten free pastry options, kind staff. Been coming here since the early days and it never disappoints. They are usually VERY busy but keep the coffee flowing at a quick pace with a smile. Not a lot of room to hang inside, but if you do grab a spot it’s very cozy.

I have been a big fan of sleepy monks roasters for years which is why I am deeply saddened to make this review. My friends have sent me sleepy monk beans for years and I loved them however recently their beans have declined in quality and I no longer buy them. Over the last few months every order I’ve received has been very unevenly roasted with both light and dark beans in the same bag. As someone that drinks espresso 2-3 times a day I care a lot about the quality of my beans. I hope that in the future their beans return to the quality I know and love.

I have never written a review before, but felt I needed to. This place left a bad taste in my mouth. Been here a couple of times. Coffee is good. Baked products are good. Attitude is poor. Last visited a few days ago I spent $42 and paid with a debit card. I put zero for tip because I always tip in cash. Dropped a wad of 10 one dollar bills in the tip jar. The older lady helping said wow jeez thanks alot sarcastically as I was walking out. I guess she failed to see I tipped in cash. She should not assume no tip was left when there was a big tip jar right in front of her. I really just wanted to go back in and grab the tip back out of the jar. Will not return when I visit Cannon Beach again.

We had been guided this way by our hotel concierge because they were the only open ones on a Monday. The person at the counter was rude and short with us. We asked whether bakery items could be warmed up and she seemed to take much offense to that. Our drink was okay - average - I didn't see the hype with it. It's certainly an expensive cup of coffee but then again, you're in cannon beach.

Americano is super fragrant, neither too bitter or acidic. It also went down very smoothly and had a slight sweet undertone. When buying their coffee beans we were told they roast them no more than 48 hours ago. With the quality of the americano we believe that! Was adventurous and tried the sweet mint cold brew w/cream. Was a little worried it would be too minty as it was advertised just as sweet mint, not peppermint. However, it closely resembles the taste of peppermint. It was like a fresh take on peppermint coffee. We do feel like it was a bit more cream than preferred but overall glad we tried it! Lastly we got the Irish cream latte. The Irish cream was very prominent and the coffee flavor was just as good as the americano. We passed by the Coffee shop three times throughout the day, and each time the line was out the door. While still being super busy up until closing, service was super friendly and upbeat. We have yet to try the coffee beans but anticipate they will be great considering the quality of the drinks we got. The coffee beans were $15-16 for a 1 pound bag which is a steal if the quality is good. Since we went right at closing we didn't sit inside to drink but the inside is small yet cozy and super comforting.

Cute little coffee shop in the heart of Cannon Beach. They make some great & unique coffee drinks as well as teas & pastries from scratch. When I visited the line was long but moved really quick. Their bacon & blue cheese scone is out of this world. Rosemary sea salt bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese is also a favorite. Besides amazing coffee they have great tea & lemonade. This is a routine stop for me whenever I'm in the area. Be sure to check it out

This little coffee shop is just two blocks from he entrance to Cannon Beach. We went there on a Saturday morning and there was a long line out on the street! This is always a good sign, it means the coffee and food can't be bad! We had there special coffee the Monk's Decadence and Druid's Delight. Both were delicious! The chocolate whipped cream on top was really amazing! The coffee was so good we even bought a bags of coffee beans to take home. Beyond their coffees, they have fresh pastries baked daily in house. We both got a fresh orange chocolate scone and it was very tasty! Definitely a must try if you are ever in Cannon Beach!

This is a popular spot, close to downtown. They do get a line, so go early. They have good brewed coffee. Great selection of whole bean coffee as well. They also have some mixed espresso/latte drinks as well that are good. The staff is very friendly too. This is a top 2 pick for coffee in CB.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in OR. The staff are fun and great to talk with. The coffee is not bitter or burnt. Good acidity. The place is small but has some seating. You can get bags of whole bean and ground to go also. They ship orders once a week if you wanted to order online. I have a few bags of the house bean at home for our machine. Stop by if you are in the area. Be aware of the days they are closed.

Affordable, high quality coffee with the cutest decor and theme! Got to go on a beautiful sunny day at Cannon Beach, the staff was super friendly and made the experience so memorable! Although they don't have an option for oat milk, you can't beat the $5 for this drink! It was sweet, rich, and the perfect drink for a beautiful sunny day! I regret not buying some coffee beans while I was here!

A cute coffee serving their own coffee. Seatings were limited but when you can get them they're nice and cozy. Americano was decent, nothing out of the ordinary.

This has become my goto coffee place in Cannon Beach. Line up for the coffee, but be prepared for the pastries. The pastries are house made and incredibly delicious. The Maple bar. Sun-dried tomato cream cheese that goes on the bagels. The vegan breads. The scones. Always worthwhile to go home with a couple of bags of coffee: they are such a great value. Owning the tin is a point of pride. My goto drink is the cold brew: delicious every time. There's a wide selection of beautiful coffee beans, and they are so reasonably priced that I save up my coffee bean needs for my visits here. It's worth picking several up for the people you love or want to expressed appreciation for. This last visit I picked up two bags; it's a fantastic feeling to be able to gift something so amazing for an affordable price. If you're lucky enough to get the tables inside, you'll feel the good vibes, but even if you're outside, standing in line, rain or shine, the people are wonderful to talk with and you might make a new friend bc that's just the amazing energy that place draws together. Absolutely wonderful staff and excellent -- Rachel and Rebecca, the sisters and their crew offer genuine and heartfelt service every time. Be good to them. Tip well. They are collectivelya Pacific Northwest treasure.

Sleepy Monk is an absolute treasure. You will fall in love with their yummy pastries, delicious coffee, and out of this world chocolate whipped cream. It does not disappoint. Don't be discouraged by the long line, it is worth it.

Yummy lattes! They typically will have a line as I'm not sure how many other places are open for early morning coffee and biscuits/pastries. Expect a wait! Parking is free and there's a public restroom across the street.

The best local coffee shop with homemade pastries every day. Don't walk away if there's a line, it goes fast.

small establishment with long line - goes by in reasonable time. order + wait outside to be called at back window. small plaza lot next door with small mart. parking lot across street. few parking spots available along side of coffee shop.

Adorable little house to walk in and grab a coffee drink. Amazing organic bag for purchase. Staff was adorable and kind. We will return!

The line was long to get in, which I guess is a good sign. Their way of directing the customers and flow was much appreciated. Love the aesthetic and the coffee was great. I would recommend the almond croissant!

Excellent coffee. Fun atmosphere. Often crowded. I proudly wear my T-shirt. Went multiple times.

Employee rudeness is unacceptable. We were having a beautiful time in Cannon Beach and then an employee YELLED at our sweet friend. Get your act together.... look at reviews as this is happening at your establishment too frequently. Great coffee... maybe tip after your service experience.

I was so excited to come back to this place since I live on the east coast. The scones were just as incredible as I remembered. The pumpkin spice latte was also top notch. This is the place to get breakfast and coffee if you're staying in Cannon Beach!

All around five star experience. I actually went to a different coffee shop right before this and stumbled across this one and could not resist. I heard a local saying this place had amazing coffee and as a bean addict- I had no choice but to be over caffeinated. There was a long line but it went by pretty quickly, as the team working behind the counter was fast and efficient. Not to mention the person who took my order was so personable and fun to talk to. The pastry (buttermilk bar) was out of this world good. They bake everything in house every morning so how could it be bad?! The coffee was great, too. The hype is real, Sleepy Monk is an absolute gem.

Saturday morning, after open 8AM Do expect a wait of about 30 minutes on weekends, there is no other cafe within walkable distance so just have some patience and stick to it and you'll be happier in the end. They have a nice line up of various baked goods, from cookies to scones and even cake donuts. Would recommend the scones here. Staff were cheery and it's a local unique shop!

Don't let the line deter you!! The cheddar and chive biscuit from here was the best biscuit I've had in my entire life!! They bake the pastries fresh daily and you can taste the difference! They had sweet and savory breakfast pastry options. I tried the druids delight drink and it didn't disappoint. I mean with chocolate whip cream how could it?! They also have almond or soy milk as non dairy options. They do not have oat milk. The inside is cozy but they do have a few tables. There is also outside seating as well. The shop is walking distance from the beach which would be a nice place to enjoy your treats as well!

Excellent bagels with salmon cream cheese spread. We got plain bagels because they were sold out of rosemary bagels. Excellent coffee. Streamed line service. Don't be intimidated by the long line. But do go early for best selection. Grandson loved the buttermilk bar!

BEST freshest softest maple bars I've ever had! Coffee? Stood in line for over 30 minutes and to my husband and I it was nothing to write home about and don't understand the hoopla about this place! Both of us got the Monks Decadence and it was so so! Came recommended by a friend who loved it though but wouldn't go back and wait for coffee but would a maple bar. Staff friendly & helpful and quick to get coffees out but I had to ask for our maple bars being held by one clerk who stood and visited with another clerk in back room for a few minutes with our maple bars in her hand entire time while I stood waiting for her to notice me to inquire where they were?

Great coffee and service. We were passing through and need an afternoon pick-me-up. Despite the long line out to the sidewalk, it wasn't a long wait before being served by the helpful and cheery cashier. Even better was that our 2 coffees were out at the pick up area super quick. Very impressed and we have bookmarked Sleepy Monk for a future visit.

This is a small roadside coffee place. The line was long but it moved along pretty good. The coffee was really good. GIve it a try if you are nearby and want a jolt of caffeine.

Order: Monastery Madness Latte w/ Almond Milk, Amaretto & House-Made Chocolate Whipped Cream! Such a cozy, delicious, locally owned & loved coffee shop in Cannon Beach!!! I've been enjoying their roasted coffee for years at home whenever I am lucky enough to visit one of my favorite coastal gal-pal's Rachel (not to be confused with the also rumored-to-be-amazing owner Rachel) & it is DELISHHHHH!! This was my first time popping into the shop for a latte with freshly-made chocolate whipped cream & OMG YAHHHHSSSS!!!!!! So so so good!!!! I finally understand the reason for the line out the door of the place next to the Cannon Beach bus stop! (Easy bus trip from Portland... I'm conflicted on sharing that info because I don't want to invite competition to stand in line behind for both myself & locals, but I do recommend giving Sleepy Monk your money. & my money. All the money. Their roasted coffee beans are amazing & avail online) XOXOXOXO!!!!!! Amazing products you've created & really radiant staff that was a pleasure to connect with & see in action! Will be back with a sweet tooth for your beautiful pastries next time!

There is a line for a reason! Went early and still had to wait but the staff are amazing and get your order placed and prepared within minutes! We got coffee, scones (amazing), buttermilk bars, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, and a turnover. It made a great breakfast on the go for two days! Grabbed a bag of beans to take home to remember our trip! Sooo good!

THE place to get coffee when in Cannon Beach. They seem to have a line going out the door pretty much the entire time they are open. Service is efficient and they can be a little short with you if you take too long when ordering so know what you want when you get to the register. I usually order Americano's when I get espresso, but I will sometimes get the Druid's delight which is a caramel mocha as a special treat here. The pastries are made in house and are heavenly and they will often run out of them by the afternoon. It's definitely worth a stop when in Cannon Beach just make sure to expect a wait.

Loved this coffee shop. Delicious americanos, lattes, and pastries. Extremely friendly staff as well.

The decadent monk coffee was delicious, and the bagel with salmon cream cheese was delightful. I especially loved the buttermilk donut--it wasn't overly sweet, which was perfect. However, staff were not particularly friendly (and forgot to use a different milk), but this place is more about grabbing your coffee and going. The long line speaks to its popularity.

Absolutely delicious and adorable little gem in beautiful cannon beach! We went here both mornings we were here because it was THAT GOOD! The coffee was so so good, my favorite was monastery maddness. the pastries were to die for, seriously so flaky buttery and delish! You can really tell that everything is baked from scratch with love! I'm back home and already craving it soo bad! The line is worth the wait, trust:)

My cup was actually so diluted it looked like colored water. Disappointed as I walked quite a ways and was looking forward to a great cup of coffee. Did not want to go thru the hassle and discomfort of complaining. Delighted to find Insomnia Coffee in Cannon Beach. Excellent coffee there! Not skimpy on flavor.

A wonderful coffee spot! We stayed up the block from here when visiting Cannon Beach. We walked there every morning to get coffee while in town, they open at 8am, line starts to form just after 730am. Eeeeks! Well whatever, we always ended up in the middle of the pack when waiting in line, it wasn't too long of a wait, made pen-pal friends while waiting in line. Coffee is good, they have a small breakfast pastry case too. Wait in line, order at counter, wait outside and they will call your name and put your order on the table outside for you to scoop up. Staff is friendly, they got their system pretty efficiently rolling, pricing isn't bad, everything we ordered each day was good and was satisfying for those morning coffee needs. If you want, they sell merch and coffee beans to take home with you(they will grind it if you need it). I had to partake and buy a bag of coffee to take home and relive the memories. Overall, a wonderful and popular place and worth stopping by to check out. Be sure to check their website for hours as they are closed on certain days.

Always a must stop whenever we're in Cannon Beach. Coffee drinks are awesome and the staff is super friendly and efficient. But the amazing part is their incredibly delicious bagels. They may not be boiled NY style, but they are so fresh, toasted and amazing. We will always hit up Sleepy Monk when in Cannon Beach.

Sleepy Monk is my favorite place to get coffee in Cannon Beach. I love the Monastery Madness, a combination of espresso, steamed milk, amaretto, and caramel sauce. You can add chocolate whipped cream to the top if you wish. They also serve fresh, homemade, sweet and savory treats. The bacon and blue cheese scone has pieces of bacon, chunks of blue cheese, and chives and is my savory favorite. If you're looking for a sweet treat, i recommend the chocolate and orange scone. The chocolate will melt on your fingers as you enjoy the scone. The ladies who work there are always polite and friendly. Rachel is constantly engaging with my niece, Vivian, and makes her feel special because she remembers Vivian's name. There is always a line, but it's worth the wait. Once you have your coffee, enjoy it on the porch outside or in an Adirondack chair out front. This charming coffee shop is not to be missed when visiting Cannon Beach!

This is a popular place in Cannon Beach. You wait in a long line outside, but the scones are worth it. Good coffee. The baked goods are very good with scones the highlight. The turnover was also good. You wait outside, order at the inside counter and pick up the food outside. There are some tables to sit at in front of the building. The counter folks were friendly, helpful and very appreciative of a tip (which makes you glad you did tip). The prices were very reasonable. $14 got us two coffees, a scone and a turnover. They have parking right next to the building which is reserved for the shopping area, which is nice in a parking starved area such as Cannon Beach.

This is a cute little coffee shop. We read the reviews so we had to try it. Of course, there was a line when we got there and it moved very slowly. They only had a couple people working the counter and I think one in the back at the bakery. We got some pastries and coffee and everything was wonderful. The server was very patient with my friend, who couldn't decide what to get. Maybe that's why the line moved so slow, so many choices! The coffee was rich and fresh and the pastries were fresh-baked too. We got enough for a couple days and 5 minutes in the oven refreshed them on the second day.

Coffee was delicious and who knew scones don't have to be dry and crumbly. I got the bacon and blue cheese scone and it was delightful. So glad we found this gem!

Love this town and love this place!! The line is long for a reason! Excellent coffee and superb service!! Dog friendly too! If there are tooo many people waiting for coffee... go for another walk and just know that the baristas are inside, working hard and moving FAST. This coffee tastes smoooth. I dropped a truckload of money here this past week and I'll do it again the next time I'm in town! Tip the staff and thank them for working!!! The salmon cream cheese is AWESOME!!

Cute spot right in the middle of town by Haystack. The line gets really long, but the staff move quickly. For how many people they're serving and how fast they get your stuff out, it's not that long of a wait! The staff were friendly, the pastries/goods are made fresh daily and are gluten free/vegan, and the coffee was yummy!! They offer dairy alts, but no oat milk so as a strictly oat milk in my coffee person this made me a lil sad. Overall, I didn't mind the no oat milk and everything else they offered made me happy. Was glad I stopped by!

Note that Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters IS OPEN during COVID for TAKEOUT or LIMITED OUTDOOR DINING ONLY! Also note that they are closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. My family and I came here for an afternoon coffee pick-me-up while vacationing at Cannon Beach. Sleepy Monk was rated "the best coffeehouse in Washington" according to Fodor's Pacific Northwest Traveling Guide 2018. As Seattlelites, we had to get our hands on the best coffee in Washington. Sleepy Monk is a cute and quaint coffee shop, just a short walk away from our hotel. Their logo is obviously a sleepy monk. While they don't display their logo on their cups, they sell hoodies and other merchandise inside with their logo. I ordered a hot 20 oz latte (4 shots) to share. Service was quick and I got my latte within 5-10 minutes. The coffee was extremely smooth with no bitter aftertaste, unlike "Char"- bucks. It was also piping hot and the perfect snack to enjoy on a cool and blustery day. All workers were wearing masks. They limit the number of people inside of the store at a time by having people wait for their orders by the window outside after ordering. There are few outdoor seats on the lawn outside where you can sip your drink and sit with your dog. There is no undercover seating though. Overall: 5/5 for coffee, 5/5 for service

This was the best little coffee house I have ever been to! And to give some context my husband and I have been living full time in our RV for the past 2 years. We have been to locally owned coffee shops all across the country. We waited outside in the rain for 15 minutes and when I say it was worth it I mean it. I am a fair weather person, I only like sunny and 75! But they are the sweetest ladies! The pastries are heavenly. My daughter wasn't feeling well so she waited in the truck we brought her a camomile tea and a plain bagel with cream cheese. She ate half and saved the other half. She finished it an hour later she said it was still the best bagel she had ever had. Don't sleep on Sleepy Monk!

Great service even with a long line out on the sidewalk. The baristas keep things moving quickly with a nice greeting and a smile. Great coffee and scones, well worth the wait!

My all the favorite coffee shop! I love the aesthetic inside and their unique logo design. Anytime I'm in cannon beach I stop by and always have a great experience with the baristas. They always are so welcoming and have complimented my outfits multiple times. They don't have their flavor syrups listed but are always open to letting you know what they have and what they recommend. I got their coffee beans to take home and make espresso with and it is my favorite to use now. Love the different blends they have from around the world and how they even offer different ways to grind the beans if you want them to! My last time in I bought a sweatshirt and it is such good quality and I love the art style on it! Cant wait for my next visit. Bonus, they do military discount!

The line was very long but the service was very fast. The lady behind the counter was very knowledgeable of their food and coffee.

I got one of their specialty lattes and it was good. They had a chocolate whipped cream which was nice. I didn't have anything that was more coffee forward but I would definitely try this place if you are visiting. Service was great and it has a cool vibe. Sets in a good spot too.

A cool and unique themed coffee shop that serves their specialty drinks with CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM...need I say more? P.S. Their coffee was great and the specialty drinks sounds like they'd be really sweet but they're very light handed with their mix-ins.

Druid's delight. Homemade chocolate whip cream. If you know, you know. Sleepy monk is our favorite coffee shop in cannon, well actually our favorite anywhere! As a rule I don't drink sugary coffee drinks, but I break that rule anytime we are in Cannon because it's THAT GOOD. The coffee is fantastic as well, we always get a few bags on our way out of town. Their pastries are always delicious as well, especially the savory ones Visit this place and don't forget to tip well!! Oh and order beans online if you run out!

A cute coffee shop right by cannon beach. Its small and cozy but the service here was great and the coffee was solid. Their baked good selection in the morning was delicious. They have a nice little seating area out front but you could just grab a coffee and walk to cannon beach in a few mins. Its real mom and pop shop vibes but great, nice to support local business.
