Dan and Robin Christensen have been baking for nearly 30 years and are continuing their family traditions in Cannon Beach. Beginning the trade at the age of 12, Dan is a third-generation baker, with deep family roots in Denmark. The Danish is handmade, the eight-grain bread is hearth baked and everything is made from scratch. The star item at Cannon Beach Bakery is their famous Haystack Bread. Traced back to a formula nearly 50 years old, the crusty loaves are known up and down the coast for their outsanding taste. Each loaf is hand-prepared start to finish just as it was in 1920.

Looking for quick breakfast
Good coffee but dry pastries that did not taste fresh. The ladies were helpful with our order…we served our own coffee at side counter.

Excellent pastries!
I last reviewed the Cannon Beach Bakery back in September 2021. Wanted to update that for our December 2023 visit, bought a 5" apple pie ($9.50) and a marionberry crumble (which is a bar cookie type desert, $5.25). You must try these (look in the case to the left of the cash register) -- the pie crust was light, flaky, the apples tasted like apples with good tooth feel and not overly spiced with cinnamon. Enough for 3 of us to share for dessert after cooking dinner in our rental cabin. The crumble bar was wonderful stuff -- you could taste the marionberries with the crumbly bar base, divided nicely with spouse the next morning. The doughnuts are good, but the special pastries are worth the trip.

Rude
Would be nice to have had the prices in front of items. The poor girl was struggling ( language barrier) and after four attempts husband got short with her. Big woman in the coffee area told him that was incredibly rude and aggressive. Yes, he lost his patience and apologized, however why didn’t the other incredibly rude woman come over and help the poor woman at the till. My husband apologized and was not proud of his actions. We felt bad for the young woman and this could have been all avoided with prices! Sheesh !!!

Many options!
Our family got the cinnamon rolls and the cream cheese danish. They were delicious!! They had GF options in a separate case as well and that was great and unexpected.

Great spot for donuts and muffins!
Apple Cider donuts and Lemon Poppyseed muffins are so tender and delicious! We came in the afternoon and our treats were still tender and so yummy!
