"The star of the show in my book: a creamy biscuit laced with cheddar cheese and bits of green onion, turbocharged with plenty of coarse-ground black pepper. While the soft inside is wonderful, I especially liked the crisp circumference all around the bottom."

"It may look like an ordinary bran muffin, but this powerhouse contains coffee in the batter and is gilded with an espresso glaze. Good morning to you!"
Michael Stern
"For those who like bread with a lot of crunch, these cheese sticks are heavenly. Still chewy at their core, they have crisp edge galore."
Michael Stern
"The quiche du jour: chorizo sausage and cheese. A tidy, tasty lunch."
Michael Stern

Michael Stern
"A little bakery with a big personality, Waves of Grain is at the south end of Cannon Beach, just after you get off Route 101 and head into town."
Michael Stern
"Here is a picture I took of Haystack Rock, the main scenic attraction of Cannon Beach and visible from nearly everywhere in town. Waves of Grain already had closed for the day when I took the twilight photo, but I was at the bakery door next morning at 7am for its opening!"
