Ilwaco's Neighborhood Espresso Bar

Every cup is pulled with intention — because your morning deserves better than routine.

We roast, we craft, and we pour with care at Buoy 10 Espresso — a riverside coffee destination on the Washington coast where the coffee is as reliable as the tide.

Craft coffee, made the way it should be

From single-origin espressos to house-baked pastries, everything at Buoy 10 is prepared with the kind of attention that turns a quick stop into a real ritual.

Hand-Pulled Espresso

Every shot is pulled fresh — calibrated, timed, and textured. We take the ritual seriously so your cup is consistently excellent.

Fresh Pastries Daily

Butter croissants, scones, and seasonal treats arrive fresh each morning — paired perfectly with your coffee.

Columbia River Views

Sit by the window and watch the Columbia River unfold. Our Ilwaco location is as much a destination as the coffee itself.

Remote-Friendly Space

Fast WiFi, plenty of outlets, and a calm atmosphere make Buoy 10 a favorite spot for remote work and focused afternoons.

Community First

We're a gathering place — for neighbors, travelers, and anyone who believes a good cup of coffee brings people together.

Quality You Can Taste

We source carefully and roast with purpose. The difference is in every sip — from the first note to the last warm finish.
