Where to eat on the Oregon coast
As a chef people are always asking me where to eat. This is always my first local recommendation for them.
It’s also popular so I highly recommend making a reservation or snagging a seat at the cozy bar for a signature cocktail while you wait for a ...
Waterfront Depot Restaurant
The locals coffee hangout. You know the coffee is good when the barista knows everyone’s name. I love to pop in with my laptop or a good book a few times a week. Don’t be in a rush to grab your coffee and go. You will definitely want to sit outside...
River Roasters
You’re going to be tempted to stop at Nosh’s neighbor Restobar. You’re going to see the long line outside and consider adding your name to the waitlist. Don’t because the best staff, food, and vibes are right next door. The menu is updated regularly ...
Nosh Eatery
Lovely new spot with local music. Skip the food, grab a spot outside, and go for the recommended wine flights instead then wander down the road to the Drift Inn for wood fired pizza and grilled Caesar salad. After dinner walk down to the cove and enj...
Bayside Cellars
You only need one thing on this menu and that’s the Forager Burger with mushrooms, cheese, grilled onions, and garlic arugula.
Homegrown Public House & Brewery
There’s nothing like it in Florence. Go in the side gate, go around the back and then go downstairs into the speakeasy style underground restaurant and order the Negroni with a few appetizers for Happy Hour.
The Green Room Restaurant

An insiders guide to shopping the Oregon Coast
I could spend all day in here, stocking up on tinctures, skin care, candles, and tarot decks. It’s such a beautiful shop, bring your camera for some Instagram pics!
Rose & Crown Apothecary
Best kept secret on the Oregon coast and where I personally get my golden locks. Ask for Emilee
Under the radar pick for best stylist specializing, in blondes on the coast
I hesitated, sharing this because it is truly my secret spot for vintage treasures like Levi’s, fun dresses, and the best selection of well priced vinyl. You will love it!
Perpetua Record & Vintage | Yachats OR
The absolute best spot on the coast for everything you need under one roof. Grab a kite, a blanket, a crusty country break loaf, some cheese and head to the beach. Remember to bring a treat for the shop dog Stormy.
Yachats Mercantile
The best smelling shop, hands-down run by Elizabeth, crafter of cold process seawater soaps made in a small 1940’s cabin in the village of Yachats, Oregon.
Billow Cloud Soaps
Two things to know. One, they have the best prices on quality pre-owned vinyl records and CD's in a variety of music genres. Two they have “exclusive” hours so check the times before you go.
Albatross Records | Florence OR

Where to play on the Oregon coast
The most photographed lighthouse on the Oregon coast for a reason. If you’re planning on visiting one spot, this is the one. Park in the parking lot then take the beautiful hike up to the lighthouse to enjoy the views. Head back to your car grab a bl...
