Fodor's Expert Review Blue Scorcher Bakery Café
$
Astoria
Green
"Joyful work, delicious food, and strong community" is the rallying cry of this family-friendly, worker-owned cooperative known for everything from huevos scorcheros (poached eggs with rice, beans, cheese, and salsa) and organic, handcrafted breads to a variety of foods using local, fair trade, and organic ingredients. The offerings change with the seasons, but there are always vegan and gluten-free options, and the inviting dining room's big windows and children's play area overlook downtown and the Columbia River in the distance.
