"What more can I say about Controversial Coffee?! It is the best coffee on the Oregon coast (serving Sleepy Monk coffee)! They have drinks, snacks, merch, stickers, photo ops, clothing donation, games, plenty to look at, and places to sit. They are kind, professional, friendly, inclusive, knowledgeable, and quick every time we visit. Wish I had one of these where I live, but alas, it just makes it that much more special when we visit. Thank you! Stay strong, kind, and beautiful you! ☕️💜🏳️‍🌈🤩🏳️‍⚧️🌊"

"I’ve been all over multiple countries, and to find a coffee shop that cares about their community, customers, and staff is uncommon. To actively care and involve themselves to the level that Controversial Coffee does is unheard of. The drinks are awesome. The prices are more than reasonable. The atmosphere is welcoming and accepting of everyone. If you ever have a negative experience here, you should definitely consider some introspection."

"I love it when a coffee shop picks a fight in the name of good trouble and rallies the community around a cause in an in your face kind of way! Very eclectic space, showcasing a lot of local artisans too, of course there is an inverted room as you expect! Baristas very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to teach me all about white espresso which is a first for me. I deliberately went out of season and early on a Sunday to get a more authentic feel to this place and I loved it."

"There are so many wonderful things about this coffee shop, I can't possibly fit them all in a single review. They have cute and nerdy themed menus and keep track of the old menus so you never lose a favorite drink just because it was seasonal. They have a pay it forward program and a free clothing closet to make sure everyone in the community can access basic necessities. They have community events, concerts and shows, a venue for your own events, karaoke, and honestly the best staff of any shop around period. Controversial Coffee is not just a coffee shop - it is a model of what a community should be. I drive half an hour to be able to spend time there and give them my business. They are the absolute best. If you go here please leave them a positive review to counteract the small minded folks who try to bring them down. We need this safe space to continue to exist."

"This was such a fun stop for my boyfriend and i on our trip to the coast! A+ meme game, funny drink names, very lgbtq+ friendly. Sadly we only got coffee, not food, but the coffee was amazing!!"
