Again I wish Yelp had a 4 1/2 rating as I save the 5 stars for the absolute best. Service was impeccable. I wanted orange marmalade and the waitress searched in the back and found a packet. The three of us ordered different breakfasts with the chicken fried steak taking top honors. I hadn't the traditional:soft poached eggs, hot hash browns, tasty bacon and sausage patty. We could not finish all the food. read more

This place was amazing. Great food. Great staff, super friendly and deer god the cinnamon roll was amazing and huge. We split it between 6-8 people and it wasnt a lot per person but it was enough. Highly recommend!! read more

Downie's Cafe - Biscuit and gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay City, Oregon

See all

A small cafe, which we drive past before we realized it was there but well worth the stop in Bay City, just off Hwy 101. Family owned for over 25 years, so they are doing something right. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs with a biscuit, which was for all made from scratch. One of the few times I had to use a knife to cut the steak. It was very good. The gravy had excellent flavor but was a bit thin, although the hash browns and biscuits soaked it up nicely. My wife ordered the Denver omelet which was delicious with rustic chopped peppers and onions. The service was very friendly and food was prepared in a timely manner. Well stop again when in the area. read more

We"re always on the lookout for great local restaurants when we travel, and this place had some great reviews. Unfortunately,our experience was disappointing. From the moment we sat down we felt unwelcome. The waitress seemed uninterested didn't bother to ask if we need anything after dropping off our food. We had to flag down a different server to get our check. read more

I can only comment on the freshly baked GIGANTIC cinnamon rolls as that was the only item I had when I stopped there. It was excellent. Baked to perfection and frosted with butter on the side. The lady who rang me up was super nice and gave me instructions on warming it at home. Worth the $9!! It will feed at least 4 people. Will be back to try their breakfasts. read more

Downie's Cafe - Cinnamon roll - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay City, Oregon

Excellent food and customer service! While the omelette felt a little small, the cinnamon roll is just about the size of Texas! Biggest cinnamon roll I've ever been served with the biggest smiles and kindest people bringing them. read more

Downie's Cafe - Texas sized cinnamon roll. That is a standard takeout full dinner box. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay City, Oregon

I am a huge fan of breakfast food, and this Diner definitely ranks in my Top 5 breakfast joints from around the world. Don't sleep on this gem! If you aren't careful, you will drive right past this cornerstone of the American frontier! The small "mom and pop" atmosphere is stunning and gives one the feeling of visiting close relatives on their long journey. The only way to describe our service is to use Robert Southey's phrase in his tale of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"...it was JUST RIGHT. Our server was well attuned to conversation, knowing when to check in, using the appropriate amount of "energy" without going overboard, while still being confident and genuine. While the atmosphere and service should always be important mentions of any establishment, let's talk about the true star of the show...THE FOOD! Honestly, it was truly some of the best breakfast food I've ever had. The portion sizes were nice while not being too much (often breakfast establishments give you WAY too much). The chicken fried steak was CLEARLY handmade and included a lot of LOVE. It was a piece of heaven with every bite! Normally, I ask for no hash browns as breakfast places typically give you too much to eat, and they are usually soggy and sad (or soggy and burnt), but per the 5-star rating Downie's Diner does it right. I am happy to say they were crispy without being burnt, and not a single sad soggy hash in the mix! I come through this area at least once a year to satisfy my crab catching needs, and will now be adding this fabulous establishments as a must on my trip in. Thank you all so much for your dedication to your craft, and service to your community and to the weary travelers that you open your doors to! read more

During a vacation to the Oregon coast in mid-June, my friend and I enjoyed a late breakfast at this tiny, family-owned diner. I had the fried oysters with 2 eggs, hash browns and an English muffin. My friend had eggs Benedict on a homemade crab cake though she was tempted by the special - a pork chop and eggs. We shared an amazing, very large cinnamon roll dripping with icing for dessert. Our food was delicious and obviously made from scratch. All the baked goods - pies mostly, plus the cinnamon rolls - are homemade by the mother, Karen, and her 2 daughters, Joanie and Jenn, who own and run the restaurant. We had the good fortune to meet Joanie who was our server. Very much recommended. The place is small - not sure how crowded it might get on the weekends. read more

THEY DO TAKE CREDIT CARDS. A minor thing but hopefully this helps. Eggs Benedict so. Good. I had the bay shrimp Benedict and hubby had the Meat Lover omelet and both were great. Its a small place but they seem to handle the customers well. Definitely will be back read more

Excellent find. We stumbled on this one while doing some exploring on the Oregon coast. This is a very small restaurant with only about five or six tables. The food was excellent, portions were huge, staff was extremely friendly. We will definitely be returning to this great restaurant read more

10/10 Best breakfast I've ever had, The servers are so nice and the ambiance of the place is a super comfy cozy feeling. Now for the food, the buttermilk pancakes are so soft and fluffy, easy to cut and they melt in your mouth. The breakfast sandwich is also phenomenal, with the best cheese pulls, perfectly cooked eggs and bacon, this is the best breakfast I've ever had. Definitely check it out, it's worth it! read more

Amazing food and great service! We got the cinnamon roll and it was huge. Couldn't have been happier with this stop!

With out a doubt one of the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. Small family run cafe with maybe 5 or 6 tables and a counter. 1 of us had the chicken fried steak and 1 had the Reuben sandwich and 2 of us had the Eggs Benedict. If you want a great breakfast or brunch this is the place. Located in Bay City, prices are great. read more

Great breakfast food, pancakes and eggs are wonderful. Solid coffee. Cozy venue and great service.

Delicious! And Great Service! It is small so you might have to wait a bit if it's busy. I was one so I just sat at the counter. Also, I heard the pies are awesome but they have restricted hours so if you go make sure to order a pie to go! read more

Came here for Brunch on a Sunday while visiting Tillamook for work. I ordered coffee and the oysters breakfast. It came with oysters, hash browns, and I chose poached eggs. Everything was delicious. If you like your hash browns crispy, mention that. But the eggs were perfect and it came with 3 big oysters, a lemon wedge and tartar sauce. read more

Thank goodness for the internet I would have never found this place. The service was sharp and precise. The portions were large but not to large. Everything tasted great and fresh. The outside of the place looks funky because it is attached to an old pink store. The inside of the restaurant is small and clean. I will be coming back my next time thru Bay City. read more

Super tiny place and if you come at the wrong time, expect to wait, it's popular. However I would say it's worth the wait. Staff was kind and considerate. Place was pretty clean. The food was very tasty and fresh. I'd totally go again. I loved how they didn't have to make me wait for the lunch menu, they cook up both lunch and breakfast no problem. read more

What a find! Thanks to Yelp we had a delicious breakfast here & bookmarked it for a return. We had biscuits and gravy and the veggie omelet and would recommend either. The biscuits were so fresh, light and fluffy & the gravy had the right amount of sausage chunks-great flavors. Veggies were cooked just enough and the omelet included Tillamook cheddar cheese. Hash browns were shredded & browned nicely.... overall great breakfast bit it looked like the star here could be their desserts! Maybe next time!! read more

Cash only, so be ready. There's an ATM next door if you need it. We tried this restaurant based on a suggestion from a regular, glad they shared the info. The portions are large. The husband and I split the meat omelette with hash browns and toast. We added gravy to the hash browns and chose the English muffin. The kitchen split the meal on two plates for us. We also shared the cinnamon roll with plenty left for later. If you aren't ravenously hungry, you might want to consider splitting a meal. read more

Great crab cake Benedict. Hollandaise was great, eggs were slightly overdone but the other positives of the meal made up for it. Wife had the pancake. Good thing she ordered only one cuz it was huge and very tasty. Grandkid no. 1 ordered a cheeseburger for breakfast and thought it was good but too much mayonnaise. Grandkid no. 2 got strawberry pancakes and thought they were great. Very small place. Only 5-6 tables and counter service. So, go early and don't bring a bunch of people. Looked like they do a good take out business. We'll definitely be back!! We go to the coast often. read more

This is exactly what I'm looking for in a breakfast place. They have homemade pies they make big homemade cinnamon rolls they have fun specials with local ingredients and seasonal things in pies. The first day I had a clam it's almost like a pancake it was a special. And they were slices of clams smushed with pieces of potato and cheese and then lightly fried on a flat grill. They were served with hash browns and toast and a side of eggs and it was an outstanding fun breakfast for the coast. Just when I thought they can't top that the second day they had a crab cake Benedict special. The crab cakes were very large and very fresh I would guess they were handmade there and the eggs were perfect and the Benedict was beautifully creamy and they gave me a side of lemon to put on the crab it was an amazing breakfast. So if you're driving down the 101 definitely stop in here and have some pie or lunch or breakfast. Service is fantastic. Parking is either out front or on the street. And this is a great little gem they have an amazingly clean bathroom in between them and the store behind them. It looks like it a bathroom at home. read more

An amazing breakfast. The service was friendly and the food came quickly. One of the best breakfasts I've had. Love the farmer's omelet with the gravy on the side. Sub out the toast for the biscuit for a dollar. It is hard to find. It is in the same building as Center Market. read more

Found this gem of a place while driving back from Oregon to Washington and stopped by for some brunch, and this place checked out! It's located next to a supermarket and has dine in (but only 3 tables), but we had a dog with us and they don't allow dogs inside, so we did takeout. The omlettes and eggs Benedict was on point, the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake was phenomenal! We placed a very long order which we took a while to decide, but they were super patient and friendly despite being swamped with orders. read more

This is a cute little cafe. The staff was great. Apparently you can call up and order any kind of pie that you want and they will make it and send you home with the glass pie dish and just ask that you return it when you finish the pie. I had the bay shrimp and cheddar omelet with hollandaise sauce. It wasn't bad but not something I would order again. If I lived near this place I would definitely go back and try something else next time- probably pie! read more

Best pancakes EVER! I'm a pancake lover & when I find a good pancake, all is right with the world for that moment. I was expecting good, but these pancakes were great! Fluffy & HUGE they absorbed the butter & syrup like a dream. We had spent a few days in Rockaway & stopped here on our way back to Portland. Thanks to Yelp, we found this little gem tucked off the main road. I'll be dreaming of those pancakes for months to come! Took home 3 pieces of the delicious Marionberry pie too read more

We like this place when we go to the coast for a day or visit. Food is fair, service is good but it's a bit overpriced for what it is. This is typical cafe grub with some coastal flair of the occasional crab or oyster dish thrown in for ambiance. Small dining room, so getting seated right away can be hit or miss. We'll definitely be back but don't expect to be awestruck. read more
