Hello fellow coffee lovers!
Today, I will be sharing with you another one of my favorite coffee shops called the Sleepy Monk. The Sleepy Monk is located in Cannon Beach, Oregon on the north Oregon coast.
Cannon Beach is a wonderful seaside community nestled in the coastal range in NW Oregon. The Oregon coast sports some of the most picturesque beaches on the Pacific Ocean. Cannon Beach is most famous for Haystack Rock which can be viewed from just about anywhere in Cannon Beach.
The Sleepy Monk is housed in a small house in South Cannon Beach, a little away from the mainstream of art galleries, boutiques and specialty shops, but still close enough to be within walking distance. It is on the east side of the main street of town. You will see the Sleepy Monk insignia on the outside of the shop. You can smell the wonderful coffee roasting before you see the building. The Sleepy Monk is not a drive-thru coffee shop. You must park your car to enter the shop or walk to this destination from your hotel or stop by after a walk on the beach. (My personal favorite.)
The Sleepy Monk is always very busy. They roast their own blends of coffee so they are not only a coffee shop, but also a place where you can purchase fresh roasted coffee. They are only open to the public Friday through Sunday.
Upon entering the Sleepy Monk, you will be greeted by a rustic “old” air feel, but greeted at the counter with the usual and not so usual coffee drink menu. They also have a wonderful array of fresh pastries in their display case to choose from. The coffees served are divine and choosing from the pastry case can be a difficult choice….. so why not take two?
While I always enjoy my usual espresso when I visit the Sleepy Monk, my usual routine is to order a few pounds of their fresh roasted Organic coffee as it is much less acidic and more user friendly. However, you can order as bold as you like. The only drawback is the torture of smelling the fresh roasted coffee on the trip home!
Again, this is a friendly, family run operation always eager to please their customer. There are a few tables inside for seating and they sport a few chairs outside on their porch so that you may savor your coffee as you view the people passing by, the beach beyond, and listen to the crash of the waves as they smash against Haystack Rock.
