    Cute little cafe that gets pretty busy even on a Wednesday at 5pm. Service was prompt and friendly, the food was good but nothing incredibly special either. I felt much of it was bland to my liking but ingredients were all fresh and appreciate that.

    Rescued by frozen pizza from Chester's! The coagulated cheese monstrosity that Hawk Creek offered was as bad as could be, was nothing like any margherita we had ever encountered. CHEESE, and just enough red and green to remind us that it was attempting to represent Italian cooking. Had to send my family to Rome/Venice, et al to gain relief from the misery. See attached job opportunity. Louis Prima wouldn't eat here if it was free. The place has a nice vibe when summer ends and the masses are gone. Get thee to Chester's for frozen pizza, or pay the airfare to Italy.

    Yummy. Lovely warm in winter and open deck for the summer! Look for original art filling the place and friendly locals and guests mingling. Tips : The cocktails are magical. Brussels& bacon- the best. Fish tacos are grilled and fresh.

    We got the BLT and a burger. So delicious!!!

    We decided not to have seafood so we visited this cafe. Food was delicious, service was great. Welcoming atmosphere, we had a great time!!!

    Amazing clam chowder

    We've eaten here several times, and Hawk Creek is one of my favorite restaurants. We especially like the outdoor seating area. It's covered, and surrounded by a fabric/plastic wall, with a heating system to keep it nice and warm. Food is generally delicious. In particular, the clam chowder is the best I've ever had. It's nice and thick, with tons of clams and very few potatoes. Staff is very friendly and helpful. In the past, we had fish tacos, and loved them. Today, however, someone messed them up. The fish was over-seasoned and loaded with too much hot sauce. I ate about half of one taco and couldn't eat the second one. This was surprising because we've had the tacos before and they were delicious. Today I'm guessing they had a different cook working in the kitchen. I'm still giving Hawk Creek 5 stars. I'll keep eating there again and again.

    $20. Rip off dry and lame

    Absolute garbage food for expensive restaurant prices.. it's a shame. Everything always goes from great to worse really quick if they think they can keep returning customers with this shit that they sell they won't the only thing good is the pizza $25 for two tacos and a handful of chips... that was for me and then $20 for my wife's two pieces of fish french fries which actually were good and coleslaw with two slices of lemon and then another $14 for $.10 worth of cauliflower. I started coming here back around 2000 it was good for several years until recently unfortunately

    A great little lunch spot to refuel after running around the beach nearby - with excellent comfort food, inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and great views of the little creek that runs across the beach and out into the pacific. After wading around in the chilly waters along the Pacific shoreline, the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup was just the warm-up comfort food I needed and it was DELISH!! The sandwich is made with Tillamook cheese from the nearby creamery - which is my absolute fave cheese of all time! And the soup was savory and delightful - so cozy! I couldn't resist starting with the spinach artichoke dip though and I was not disappointed! It's a hearty version of the app and comes with these perfectly toasted breads - flawless! This is one of the only food options in the part of Neskowin right by the state beach so it's a little more pricey but the quality is there. Plus it's extremely convenient, very cozy and the staff are lovely. There's plenty of parking on site or immediately across the street in the free beach parking lot which is huge - but fills up fast in the summer.

    Super friendly service a real wait staff talking about specials letting you know what this rocking and special for the day. A small little spot next to the trail to Neskowin beach access trial. It's a place probably growing out of its surroundings but a piece of the community. Laid back constantly flowing in and out. I remembered to take pictures this time. I wish there was a flavor option for taking pictures. The soup as a starter is above average for clam chowder. We were told they were just finishing the next batch and we were willing to wait. Just creamy and beyond the normal flavor of just potato soup with some clams I highly recommend the fish tacos. Cajun not overwhelming but enough to give flavor profiles you may have never experienced. Combined with pickled onions Cole slaw in their own chipotle like sauce and salsa. They also come with chips they make from scratch. The initial thought was only two? The last thought was I only needed two. The Alfredo has multiple cheese flavors each tripping sensory spots on your tounge. Don't overlook this great restaurant in Neskowin. Tell them Todd sent you score yourself some points

    The service was good. The ambiance was nice. The clam chowder was overly thickened. The cheeseburger was so so. The onion rings were doughy.

I ordered a plain bagel with plain cream cheese and added tomato, sprouts and avocado. I received a salt bagel instead of a plain one. My husband got their turkey croissant melt and it was good. I couldn't eat mine because it was too salty. I waited while my husband ate his food for our server to return so I could get what I ordered. I got a replacement but my husband was already done with his food. She said it was because they just got the plain bagels but on our receipt it had the salt bagel listed. She did not own up to her mistake and that is not good. It was not good service. The ambiance was cute. Now, the biggest issue was we ordered their beignets and they said they had hazelnut and raspberry so we asked for both. When they came out, they were literally small, cold, round yeast donuts filled with hazelnut and raspberry. Those are not beignets, not in any universe. Since we are visiting, we will not be returning and if we do visit again, we'd go for the coffee/tea drinks alone.

    This is a frequent stop of mine when visiting Tillamook County and I have never been disappointed…read more The Cafe has an excellent assortment of baked goods, or so it appears to the eye. I say this because I tried the almond danish on my first visit and it is so delicately delicious I have never found a need to venture beyond that taste treat. I often get breakfast and then bring the pastry (which is huge) with me to nibble on, and put a smile on my face, all day - & it stays fresh! They have a limited lunch and breakfast menu. However, I find it has significant enough variety that me and my guests have never had a problem finding something to enjoy. I have had breakfast there, never lunch. I find what I have eaten reliably tasty, but it does not rock. For the food I would put it in the low 4 category, pastry an absolute 5. Coffee blows away the chain coffee shops and I find it very tasty, not bitter. They do all the fancy drinks and they execute the one I always get - cappuccino - extremely well. My one bit of advice is to ask for the coffee in a mug if you are having it to stay because otherwise it will be served to you in a paper cup. I find paper cups cramp the froth into a small area and ALSO blocks your nose from getting a good whiff of that awesome coffee smell. Smelling is a huge part of taste - so do not forget the ask - there is no up charge for the real mug. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating with variety in the indoor, ranging from a very large, family style, round table in the middle of the room, to bars at the windows and tables throughout - with plenty of spacing. The outdoor seating is behind the roastery and consists of wooden picnic tables. This is complimented with an extremely unique and , obviously, cared for garden with a variety of flowers and evergreens. Finally, the service. One orders at the counter where my only experience has been one of patience, informative and courteous order takers. You then find a seat or you can wait for your order at the counter. The coffee is prepared immediately and, I have found, the food is prepared efficiently. I have nothing but very positive interactions with staff. Do note that they have a drive up window as well. Located directly across from the Tillamook Creamery: extremely convenient if accessing the Coast thru Tillamook. All in, I would rate Five Rivers about a 4.5 - Enjoy the experience!

Management needs to do a better job at this. Our friend and I both did not enjoy our hot lattes. The cold versions were ok. For those who collector stickers, it's $3.50 for one. About the same price as an espresso shot. Not worth it for me. Service was friendly from the female cashier. Interior is small but with plenty of seating. The location is right across the street from Tillamook creamery, but there are no crosswalks to get there. Crossing the street is a bit sketch. For a coffee roaster, I expected better quality.
