Ocean Beach Roasters & Bistro – July 1, 2018
OCEAN BEACH ROASTERS & BISTRO
OCEAN SHORES, WA
JULY 1, 2018
Between May and August this year, we visited Eric’s parents at the beach (Ocean Shores, WA) three times. On our second trip there, we had the opportunity to see Todd’s aunt Sandie (my sister-in-law) perform with her musical partner at the Ocean Beach Roasters & Bistro.
This coffee shop/wine bar is small but full of character. When we walked in, I immediately liked the log cabin ‘feel’ and the rich, dark wood. The first thing I spotted in the pastry display case was the sign for…”Vegan cookie” {{happy dance!!}}. It turned out that two of the cookie flavors were vegan, so I naturally bought one of each!

We found our group in the main sitting area. Please be sure to listen to the three short YouTube videos to hear Sandie’s beautiful voice!

Todd enjoyed going up to the cozy loft and back down the stairs (repeatedly).

I appreciated that the animal head on the wall was carved from wood!

We ordered a bean burger to go with our cookies.

We were able to stay for the whole ~2 hours because Todd was so good. A year ago this would not have been possible!

We found a great coffee shop before leaving the city of Edmonds: Walnut Street Coffee. They had Mighty-O (vegan) donuts and vegan cookies! Todd only tried a bite of each, which meant more for me!
