About UnderSea

My photo
Seaside, Oregon, United States
Located INSIDE the lobby of the Resort at Seaside on Avenue A. We're a bit tough to find but well worth it. You'll need to walk the promenade from Broadway, head south 1 block to Avenue A, look for the Resort at Seaside under the double arches, walk up the small hill and the lobby double door entrance is on your left. We serve pastries on-site daily from scones, cinnamon rolls, quiches, and daily specials. Come enjoy our delicious selection of grilled sandwiches like our original Caspian Reuben, our yummy Sea Bagel Sandwich, to everyone's favorite, the Buoy Burrito. We also have a local selection of wine and beer. UnderSea Coffee is also home to the Convenience Cove Grocery where you can grab those forgotten toiletries or last minute grocery items. We have beautiful ocean views from our indoor poolside seating or you can cozy up next to the fireplace in the resort lobby.

Why UnderSea?

So-n-So: So what's the name of your shop?
Us: UnderSea, sameword, Coffee.
SnS: Huh. UnderSea Coffee.
Us: Yup. We have a jellyfish theme.
SnS: Oh. So why UnderSea?

And that's how it goes.  From our Credit Union representatives to our Merchant Services rep to our contractors to our friends.  Everyone wants to know why we're called UnderSea Coffee.  It all started with a dream.....(cue orchestra)

The dream was to open a coffeeshop overlooking the ocean that has an under sea theme.  This shop would feel warm to contrast the cold climate of the Pacific Northwest.  People would congregate to chat, share a drink, and keep their toes warm next to the jellyfish aquarium all to the soothing sound of the nearby surf crashing into the sand.

We have to credit Sister E with sharing with us her dream.  Sister E isn't able to be a part of this shop right now but we are going to make her dream come true and we going to do it justice.  We're keeping the jellyfish.  And the warm ambiance to shake off the cold PNW weather.  We've got ocean view that's earshot of the ocean.

We are UnderSea Coffee.

The Waiting Game

The lease is in the mail.  We are (not so) patiently waiting to sign the paperwork that will be the gunshot needed on our race to open in time for the 2011 summer season here in Seaside.  Feels like we have been on the starting blocks for months and just need to hear that gunshot.

In  other news:  We opened our credit union account and signed our very first expense check to get ourselves a P.O. Box.  Looking more and more like Geppetto is making this Pinnochio into a real boy soon.  (fingers & toes crossed).

In the meantime, participate in our reader polls!
