This was a stop we will always remember when we think of our family vacation to Coos Bay. Our visit with the staff was truly special and the food was out of this world! Finding a restaurant that cares so deeply about the ingredients they feed you was a rare treat! We would absolutely rate this 10 stars if we could!

This was a wonderful experience! Bobak, the artisan baker, infuses the bread and atmosphere with his passion for baking. The quality and flavor is evident in every delicious bite. Pictured is the outside of the bakery and a fresh loaf of walnut & olive sourdough bread. Scrumptious!

We went to breakfast at Persephone's. (Note it is inside the Seacoast Garden building- we did not notice a Persephone sign outside) Cute plant shop & bakery! We tried the avocado toast, brioche roll with cream cheese & cardamom cinnamon roll. It was simple but delicious food. We got a table right next to the plants, very peaceful. They have signs on the table: no wifi here. But they do have a bookshelf with quite a few books to read.

The artisan breads are flavorful, earthy and made with organic grain - the Rosemary Garlic Focaccia with unbleached flour, slightly moist with olive oil! I felt at home at Persephone Cafe & Bakery, sunlight shining through many windows while we warmed up with nourishing minestrone soup, bread and fruit-filled pastry. Owner Babak understands our need to cozy in, rest and revive!

The Coos County Women in Business had the pleasure of meeting this evening in Charleston at Persephone’s Café and Bakery. What a treat! We were served delicious lentil soup and AMAZING bread! Thank you Bobak for opening your business in the evening for us to meet and enjoy your lovely space! I will be back!!

Was walking by while hiking the Oregon Coast Trail and it was such a a wonderful vibe. Got an oat milk honey latte that was divine and a chocolate chip cookie. Enjoyed them in their room with a fountain surrounded by beautiful plants. They also have fun lil gifts and books. Highly recommend.

Persephone Cafe hosted the monthly Women in Business and Bobak went all out and gave us a feast of bread, and soup. There's also a nursery outside and houseplants indoor. I purchased the Coos Bay Sourdough and the lithops plant. Great place to enjoy some delights!
