Back To the Best

A cute little café with very good soup and sandwiches at a great price. We fed two hungry teens and two parents for $ 30 including tip. There were a few locals who stopped by also which speaks a lot for the food.
Definitely would come here again if we pass through Reedsport.

Had mochas and they were excellent. Loved how they give you a coffee been with it. Good prices and location. Will go back again.

Great lovely place. Good Sandwhich quick-​stop. Great Jerky. Great Coffee. True Indie-Mom&Pop

We always try and support local coffee while travelling if a coffee shop other than Starbucks is around. My hubby ordered the coffee and it was quite good. My kids loved the Vanilla Steamer and Hot Chocolate. I got an Americano and that is why I’m doing a 4 star rating. It was a tad too watery for me, as I prefer a bold, rich taste. The food there was great as well and they put espresso beans in my Americano and my hubbys coffee, which added a little something to the drinks. The staff was very friendly and nice.

Initially planned on stopping at Jitterbug N Java but they were closed. Stopped here instead. Good sandwiches, not great but good. Baked beans excellent. Coffee and Chai tea excellent. Jerky very good. Best part was the décor, ambience and service (very nice young girl-didn’t catch her name). My husband and I were the only patrons inside the small café but saw many cars go through the drive through for coffee. Worth the stop.

Best beef jerky ever! I always try to stop by when I am on the coast. I recommend bringing a cooler if you want to get a bunch to take home. Sadly, it is very difficult to find on Google maps.

Very cute, quaint little place. Glad I stopped by on my way through. Great coffee, excellent Rueben.
The classic theme of the shop is awesome as was the service. Will certainly stop by again next time through.

Smoky pulled pork was delicious! Beef jerky, Reuben and baked beans were very good. Place is cute as can be with beautiful baked goods and farm fresh eggs. Got smoked salmon to go!

This review is just for the coffee, which was delicious! I just got the house coffee, but love how they serve it with a chocolate covered coffee bean. :) There were a lot of baked goods you could buy for takeaway. Cute little place!

For the drive home from Bandon this is our favorite stop for coffee.
The iced vanilla latte is really quite good. I haven’t found anywhere else that serves such a delicious, creamy vanilla & coffee blend. This needs to open in Portland.
The prices are extremely cheap. 20oz iced vanilla latte & 16oz americano was just $ 4.75! That’s a steal.
If Reedsport wasn’t so far away for me I’d be here everyday.

Very cool little shop. The shot of espresso was pretty near perfect and the drip coffee was very tasty.

Ruthie’s Smokehouse/​Deli/​Coffee House was one of our Top Ten finds this trip (our third 16-​day trek through Oregon in three years.) Her shop is charming and well (and thoughtfully) appointed — full of atmosphere and her personality. We were stocking up for a picnic dinner we planned to have later that day and oh the stuff she provides! Culinary wonders. We had one of the best BBQ-​ed Pulled Pork sandwiches that we have ever encountered — ever — and we know pulled pork — seeking it out at every possible turn — travelling hours through the Carolinas to try new ones. In fact it was the word «smokehouse» on the front of her shop that caused us to poke our heads in Ruthie’s in the first place. Her baked beans were also world class. Why is it that baked beans are so variable? Ruthie has created one of the best recipes we have eaten. (I want it!!) Her green pea/​bacon/​watercress salad was lovely as was her cole slaw, again, it is so difficult to find these things so well done anywhere. And her Asian Chicken salad was nothing but moreish. We also came away with some of her smoked salmon and it was one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten. Hands down — the most flavorful fish in Oregon. And its consistency, the texture of the fish, was perfect. Hearty. Substantial. Ruthie’s baked goods were top rung as well. Her plain shortbread was anything but and her chai shortbread was fine. Her breakfast cookie was a meal in and of itself. It’s rare that we happen upon someone with this much talent — Ruthie is a smoke-​master and she must be given all the plaques and awards that Oregon can bestow upon her. Or skip the folderol and just have some more of her pulled pork and smoked salmon and lovely baked goods. I didn’t even mention her heavenly teriyaki beef jerky. A dream come true! GO! We are still salivating over this stuff back in Santa Monica, CA. (Isn’t travel fun?)

I had just rolled into town and figured I’d give this place a try, and despite it being just a few minutes before closing, Sierra welcomed me in. I tried a piece of the smoked tuna, which was great, and an Americano just the way I like it (with butter). I’m really glad I stopped in!

Tasty fresh smoked tuna and adorable lady who got our tea and rang us up.
