The hot chocolate served here is frequently thick enough to require a utensil. At Cannon Beach Chocolate Cafe, the menu revolves around European and Colombian chocolate melted down rather than scooped from a powder tin. The signature "Spoon Chocolate" is served at a pudding-like consistency, intended to be eaten slowly rather than sipped, while standard drinking chocolates come in dark, milk, and Mayan spice variations.
The shop itself is a wood-shingled structure on North Spruce Street, functioning as a warm, sugar-scented refuge from the often-damp Oregon coast weather. Inside, the space is compact, centered on glass display cases filled with house-made confections. You’ll find trays of chocolate-dipped seafoam, toffee, nut clusters, and a rotation of over 40 truffle flavors. Behind the counter, staff pull shots of Illy espresso for mochas that use a house-made sauce created from 70% Colombian dark chocolate.
Seating is limited to a few indoor tables, meaning the small room often fills up with customers waiting to order or pick up pastries like pain au chocolat and brownies. On drier days, the activity shifts to the outdoor patio picnic tables or across the street to the park, where people take their cups to sit on the grass.
