My mom and I were looking for a place to eat in Cannon Beach that had more than typical beach fried foods. We were thrilled to find Sweet Basil's. Their food was fresh and delicious! They have several vegetarian/vegan options. Their salad was amazing. The décor was quaint and really added to the place. We will be eating there again!

We checked out this place based on the menu and reviews. It is a tiny place tucked on the side of a building. We had bison & bacon meatballs on bruschetta for an appetizer, the sauce was fresh, bread was soft with a crunchy crust and the meatballs were excellent. Dinner was a crab stuffed portabello and chicken with potato... More

We were turned away at the Wayfarer because they were overbooked and ended up at Sweet Basil's, which was excellent! Great portions, wonderful fresh unique dishes and great staff. Small place with just a few tables, but worth it if you have to wait.

We ordered tomato and rice soup which was decent. The two sandwiches that we ordered were roasted veggie melt with basil pesto. It was an open faced sandwich which was not mentioned on the menu or maybe I missed reading it. Nonetheless, upon request they added another slice to the sandwich so it was easier to eat. That was a... More

Wonderful food. Nice to eat at a place that respects and understands necessity of GF. I was very satisfied with the food. Also to know I won't be sick from gluten contamination. One of the best places to eat in area!

The only down-side to this restaurant is that it's tiny. The food is excellent and different, the wine list great. My friends and I liked it so much that we went twice over a long weekend. Just get there early-ish if you want a seat.

If you go to Portland and you have the time you need to visit the Oregon coast and Cannon Beach is a good place to go and it has a number of good restaurants. Our favorite was Sweet Basil Cafe.

Enjoyed a fine meal with my wife. The service was very good. The food was delicious and well seasoned. The portions were sized just right, not too much and not too small. The guitarist was very good. The music was unobtrusive and the volume allowed conversations 8 feet away. We have havve had lunch here before and were wanting to... More
