Coastal Mist — Restaurant in Bandon

A must stop in your visit to the quaint seaside town of Bandon. Exceptional baked goods, desserts, chocolates, and coffee. The line forms on the left side of the small shop where you will you be greeted by very kind and attentive staff. I recommend getting there early as they sell out of many things quickly!

I adored the flight of hot drinking chocolates! 3 small 2 oz cups. The flight does have to be enjoyed inside the shop but everything else can be taken to-go. Not your traditional hot chocolate, however they do also sell traditional cold chocolate milk. With that, they have a huge plethora of flavors. I tried the mayan, the mexican, and the salted carmel. My favorite hands down is the Mayan. The flavor is dark chocolate and chillis I believe.

I tried the pain au chocolat aka the chocolate crossiant. It was buttery flakey and just the perfect ratio of chocolate. A must try if they still have it. The danish was lovely as well. I didn't get to try their bread or baguette unfortunately but will plan for it next time I visit. They only sell bread on Friday and Saturdays. They open earlier at 10:30am do not sell their bread until noon. You can pre-order the bread on their website.

Can't wait to come...

The highlight of our visit was the salted caramel tart. It was rich and delicious and I would come back just for that. Our brownie was good but nothing memorable or special. I got the triple vanilla cheesecake and could not have been less impressed. If they labeled it as a plain cheesecake and lowered the price I would have been pretty happy but this cheesecake didn't possess any special characteristics that would push it into a realm where I would believe any real amount of vanilla or any special vanilla went into it. Our chocolates were also disappointing especially the caramel ones which was a surprise after the tart. The caramel in their bar and chocolates is essentially colorless. While it possess a caramelized sugar flavor I'm impressed with how little color they work into it and therefore it doesn't have much depth. I don't say any of this with any intention other than providing honest feedback and to share our most honest experience. We would return but we certainly wouldn't venture into chocolates or...

I had the pleasure of visiting Coastal Mist 3/6/2017 while staying over in Bandon for a few days. I picked out a beautiful dark chocolate bar that had been molded with various sea shells on the top. delicious, melt in the mouth flavor! I tried their unique brewed coffee (can't remember the name), that includes ground chocolate beans in the blend. Amazingly good also. I bought a brownie to go and we ate this the following day after arriving back home. I am not especially fond of brownies, as a rule. They are usually heavy and overly sweet, but this beautiful creation was light, melting, not too sweet, with a lovely ganache layer on top. I wish I had gotten 2! I look forward to stopping next time we visit Bandon. I had a pleasant chat with the female half of the owner duo also. written by...
