Moist and intensely chocolaty, the chocolate cupcake is made from a buttermilk batter, the tang of which beautifully balances its naturally sweet nature.

Breakfast pastries star at Waves of Grain, but there is no denying the puffy, bready goodness of the savory cheese-and-tomato focaccia that was flavored with rosemary.

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!

Sticky buns are made from fluffy brioche dough and loaded with pecans inside and out. Waves of Grain offers a more indulgent alternative, the Bohemian Bun, which adds coconut and almonds to the mix.

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.

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!
