I review restaurants with my OAT method: Overall Experience - The review strongly reflects the food court. The self guided tour and cheese tasting experience were perfect! It was valuable to learn about the amount of work that goes into to creating great quality dairy products. I will definitely continue to support a business that strives to sustain the farmers that actually produce the products. On my visit, I learned, Tillamook is a farmer owned cooperative that formed over 100 years ago. Appearance - The Tillamook cafe was a large dining hall with an ice cream counter and a food counter. Before ordering food we explored the extensive bottled drink section. There was also a gift shop with all types of local products. When we made our way over to order food, I took a look at the few menu options they had. Simple, but the basics were covered. Taste - My husband and I ordered the grilled cheese along with a side of fried cheese curds. The food was not nearly as exciting as the atmosphere of the place. The grilled cheese was cooked well, however the bread left much to be desired. It must have spent too much time on the grill and burnt the bread. The cheese curds did not seem fresh
Tillamook is locally made in Oregon and a must-stop when visiting. Although I thought it was overrated, it's something to do at least once. There is a Tillamook Country Smoker down the street, which is a small beef jerky outlet shop, and then there's the highly visited Tillamook Creamery, where they make the cheese and ice cream. The jerky outlet was awesome with really affordable prices and a variety of flavors, including tons of sugar-free options. Tillamook Creamery, on the other hand, was hectic. Lines everywhere, but managed well with all their signage and employees directing you where to go. The parking lot was huge and crowded, but easy to find a spot as people came and went. Food 2/5* On first glance, everything looked good. I planned to get so many things, but they ran out of grilled cheese sandwiches and when I saw them cutting up the deep dish pizza and it was soft, not crispy, I changed my mind on the pizza. The burger was tiny and you couldn't really taste the sharp white cheddar at all. The mac and cheese, also bland. The random sprinkle of crushed pretzels on top did not work at all - too chunky, hard, and did nothing to enhance the mac and cheese. The only dish that was good with flavor were the cheese curds. Dipped in spicy ranch, it was a great pairing. Self-Guided Tour & Samples 5/5* The highlight was the self-guided tour upstairs that allowed you to look into the factory below. On the way out was a sampling station, where they had 4 choices of packaged cheese snacks to sample, plus whatever special they had. They were so generous, with no limit to how many you wanted to sample. The best was the smoked black pepper white cheddar. Dog Friendly 3/5* They also had a store inside selling all their goodies and merchandise, including for dogs! Although the front had a huge lawn allowing dogs, it was inconvenient that dogs weren't allowed inside. There were two lines inside, one for hot food and the super long line for ice cream. There's also another line outside for just ice cream only and small snacks. It would've been nice if there was a line for hot food outside so those with dogs could stay together. Overall it was a good experience, but a one and done kinda thing.
Date of visit: May 10, 2026 If you're visiting Portland, this is a bit of a drive, and can be harrowing for those that are not a fan of heights, but it is worth the trip to see their impressive operation and try some amazing dairy products. I was looking forward to the ice cream all day and it definitely didn't disappoint! I had a Salty Caramel Pretzel shake and it was quite possibly the highlight of the entire trip to Oregon! We did the self-guided tour and for the low low price of free 99, it was amazing. The large windows and clear explanation made it easy to follow the process from start to finish; can't say I've ever seen 40 pound blocks of cheese before! Before the ice cream, we split the grilled cheese and mac and cheese, both being very good. The fries that accompanied the sandwich though, were unremarkable. Why they don't serve them as cheese fries I will never understand. I wanted to go five stars here but the staff could be better. It's great that they seem to hire so much local youth, but there didn't seem to be anyone supervising or helping direct traffic, resulting in the indoor ice cream line being 15 people deep and the outside line being empty, with staff just standing around talking about their relationship woes (this I tell you from firsthand experience) instead of helping out in other places where it's needed. The cashier in the gift shop seemed to be personally offended that we were keeping her from her Instagram...
Super fun day trip from Portland! Loved all the food options (both ice cream and cheese). We tried pretty much everything and I'd say the cheese curds and mac and cheese are a can't miss, the pizza you can't miss if you love (or haven't yet tried) Detroit style, but the grilled cheese and the burger are pretty standard fare. Service moved very quickly especially for the amount of people there. The gift shop is really fun and you can take home some really great cheeses. If you are coming from out of town I recommend coming early in your trip so you can bring some home, tragically none of us could buy the rarer cheeses due to flights the next day. One thing I would have loved more of was more information/experiences in the cheese making process included in the free self-guided tour, it focuses more on packaging. I love to see machinery and the actual 'how it's made', but unfortunately didn't have time for the paid tour. Overall though, fun place and worth a stop! P.S. pro-tip: they DO have lactaid in the gift shop.
I got the white chocolate raspberry ice cream and it was worth the drive here. It was interesting learning more about the factory and how they pay attention to quality assurance. My only concern is how pricy the ice cream and the food is. Also it was crowded when I came but it's still great and the staff were friendly.
Tillamook Creamery, one of Oregon's hugest attractions. Worth it for the food? Absolutely no. 3 Star food at best. Worth it for the ice cream? Absolutely YES. I'm not a big cheese or dairy person. It just always so heavy and makes me feel lethargic afterwards. But with the ice cream and all the wonderful different flavors, you get none of that dairy heaviness, nor sticky mouth etc. Its just made differently and tastes differently in the best way. Absolutely going to be on the list to re-visit whenever near again. The facility itself is kinda cool, walk upstairs and you get to see the process of events on how milk to cheese is made, the slicing, the QA, the packaging with education around how each step is done with signage for you to read. I'm not sure how the workers doing all the supply chain work could stand it though as I was getting a bit nauseous looking at SO MUCH CHEESE, but perhaps they are true lovers of cheese so that could be it. Alot of cool merch in the shop, jams apparels, ice cream, cheese, and a whole ton of stuff to buy for the road trip. Everything there is also clean, bright, and decently organized. So glad we made the stop! Ice Creammmmmmmmmmmmmm, the right way.
Drove from Washington to visit the Tillamook creamery. Loved walking around learning the history and tasting the cheeses. Stopped at the food area and ordered the cheese and pepperoni pizza. It was fresh and tasty. The staff very friendly. Ofcourse had to get the ice cream, got the chocolate hazelnut and salted caramel shake. Overall fun drive to Oregon and back to Washington day trip.
What a fun place and visit on our Coastal Oregon trip. Its a lovely 2 floor building with the cheese making process and samples on the 2nd floor and a shop and food on the 1st floor. The cheese making was explained very simply yet with great details and the samples were yum. My favorite was the cheddar. There are food options like Mac n cheese and pizza and an ice cream counter. We got the 3 flavor sampler-oregon strawberry, marionberry pie and the waffle cone bits. It all tasted great!
The overall experience was very touristy. There was a short self guided tour but you didn't get to see the cheese getting made, only how it was packaged. There are more tours you can pay for. We got a flight of the ice cream flavors but when asking to sample before we chose them, we were told they can only give us one sample each. It felt a little stingy considering how big the company is. The Oregon strawberry and Marion berry pie were our favorites. The strawberry and crème was sold out sadly. We thought there would be more unique flavors but they were all pretty typical.
The town of Tillamook is a beautiful scenic, hour-long drive from Lincoln City. I wanted to arrive early to avoid crowds. My first impression upon entering the complex was that this was a first-rate establishment! The car park, the building, the presentation of historic artifacts, the viewing gallery, and the gift shop were all quality. The viewing gallery is on the second floor and they have an elevator, thus ADA compliant. We did not dine at Tillamook, so I cannot speak to the food. The cheese samples were ample, and they were delicious! Tillamook offers self-guided tours or premium experiences for early arrival tours and tastings. I'm kicking myself for not planning in advance, as I would have indulged in the premium experience. I am in the area the first week of June, so this may not be an issue in the winter. The self guided tours is what you make of it. They provide an app to download and walk you through the process. We really enjoyed our visit to the creamery! The gift shop is filled with Tillamook products along with loads of local fare, and typical gifts. Well worth the time!
Yes we are tourists and YES it's an amazing spot to visit. This museum/restaurant was so well done; it didn't feel too crowded even though there were a good amount of people. The self-guided tour is nicely set up and we never felt overcrowded or rushed. The restaurant is amazing and the ice cream line went quick. Lots of fun for kids and adults alike. Would definitely go back!

Grilled Cheese - This was a simple and cheesy grilled cheese! Peanut Butter Chocolate Ice Cream - They serve good quality, creamy ice cream here and I recommend this flavor to peanut butter and chocolate lovers! read more
Was a very cool place to visit! Got a couple free samples and enjoyed the in depth, self-guided tour. The overall tour flowed very well and kept the people enjoying it both on track, and entertained throughout the experience. The exhibits were easy to understand while also providing thorough information. We loved getting to see the special varieties of cheese and ice cream that you couldn't find in regular stores! We picked up some 6 and 13 year aged cheddar, in addition to some black pepper cheddar. We didn't interact with too many employees, but the ones that we did, were very nice and seemed to be enjoying their work day. read more
We loved this dairy stop! I've been a big fan of Tillamook for a long time and this cheese centered dairy stop did not disappoint! Being originally from Northern Illinois, I know a good cheese factory tour. This was definitely up there on the list! We shopped, got a three scoop flight, looked around the factory, bought some cheese, and had some samples. And also, smelled the cow smell all around. How fun! Definitely worth it! read more

Good for kids, esp. the cheese tour and cheese sample. Must have their ice creams. We had the June special German chocolate cake and loved it. Pro tip - there are 4 ice cream counters - find the one with the shortest line read more

How lovely that parking and entry are free at such an iconic place to visit. There isn't too much to see upstairs for the self-guided tour, but it's a nice, quick stop. The free cheese samples are a very nice touch. The employees are very friendly and the entire building is clean and nicely decorated with a lot of fun tidbits of information. The gift shop is huge! Prices are surprisingly reasonable and this is a great spot to find gifts for people. I can't comment on their food, but their ice cream is delicious! A flight of 3 scoops of ice cream is only $9. The lines get long waiting for ice cream and they don't move too fast, which is really my only gripe. They also close pretty early. The wait in line was worth it though. Overall, highly recommend if you're visiting from out of town or just want fresh, delicious ice cream! read more
Truly, the absolute highlight of my visit up the Pacific North west. 1) Got to charge my car FOR FREE. 2) Stepped into the food hall to the most delicious of foods with clean, abundant seating, 3) Free tour that kept me engaged for about an hour if not more 4) Was fed free cheese on a FREE tour 5) Fantastic gift shop with more cheeses than you ever thought Tillamook could make. The space was really well maintained and very well laid out. The tour took you upstairs above the factory floor, so you could see the creamy magic bring made real-time. It was so interesting and educational. The food was all amazing. I've been telling everyone about my mind-blowing ice cream nachos, which were chocolate waffle chips, dipped in chocolate on one side, layered with a giant scoop of ice cream of choice. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was as delicious and perfect as expected. Just a very great experience from end to end! read more
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich ooohhh lalalalala. So yummy. Had the cheese curds its like tater tots but much better. The burger and pizza was mid. Flight of 3 scoops of ice cream was $9. We had the tillamook mudslide, if u want chocolate this hits the spot. read more

The food is decent but tends to be expensive for what you get. The service is mediocre and the ambiance is chaotic and unorganized. You will wait up to 50 minutes for a grilled cheese. The app is useless, don't even bother, it will let you get all the way to the checkout then time out. Multiple people were having this issue. Skip it and head somewhere else. read more

Hi Jefferey, we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We…
I was in Portland for a wedding so got a rental car. I'm so glad I had the car. I was able to make the trip out to a Tillamook Creamery on my last day before I flew home. I'm a huge fan of dairy and cheese, preferably Tillamook. I can taste the difference. This is a free experience if you can make it out here. There's plenty of parking. The drive is gorgeous. If you're interested in the process, you'll have no problem spending hours here. Unfortunately we arrived one hour before they closed so we rushed through. They had five cheese samples at the end. You can take one of each. I found my new favorite cheese. I wish we had come at the beginning of our trip so I could have purchased cheese. I wet straight to the airport after this so I couldn't buy any :( I got other goodies though. Although I do think the gift shop was exorbitantly priced, you may get lucky and find decent deals on clearance. Make sure you come hungry. They have plenty of delicious food and ice cream options. read more
Giving 5 stars because the experience is a must. Great for kids, great for families, great if you are visiting or have someone visiting and are looking for something to do. We started out by taking the self guided tour of the cheese process, then we went to sample - they had five types of cheeses for us to try. Here's my ranking in order of favorite 1. Truffle white cheddar 2. Smoked black pepper 3. Med cheddar, sharp white cheddar, mozzarella all equal They also had orange cream ice cream to try which was very good. Then we stopped in another section to learn about the farm and milking the cows and the types of cows they have. We made our way through the timeline then headed to the cafeteria area to try some of their food. We ordered the burger and subbed fried cheese curds with all the sauces (ranch, chili ranch, and bbq) and the mac n cheese. The food was just okay tbh. We were going to get some ice cream which I'm sure would've been great but were too full after our meal and cheese samplings. Lastly we stopped at the gift shop. Lots of cute items. read more
Tillamook Creamery is one of the coolest attractions to explore in the Oregon Coast. They offer paid tours with tasting menus or free self-guided tours. There is a huge parking lot with a good amount of parking spots. Wifey and I pulled up with our homies for one of the self-guided tours and we had a great time. We were able to sample some cheeses and some ice cream flavors. In addition to the tours, they also have a really nice gift shop and food court. We ended up grabbing lunch at the food court to end off our tour with some burgers and milkshakes! read more
The Tillamook Creamery is a MUST VISIT when coming to this part of Oregon. I have always want to visit and finally got to last month. Tillamook was formed in 1909 and produces ~ 69 million pounds of cheese per year! Tillamook Creamery started to make ice cream in 1947. My husband and I did the self guided tour, which allows for you to learn brief history of Tillamook and how they came to be and then walk you through the cheese production line. I really liked seeing the production from above, via bird's eye view. And at the end there is a small sampling station, which you are able to try 3 different types of cheese (Although from photos from other fellow Yelp members, it seems that there were even more types of cheese one was able to sample years before). After going through the self guided tour, we found ourselves downstairs in the gift shop. I ended up purchasing a few souvenirs and then we decided to get some ice cream. Because we came on a Tuesday, it wasn't busy. But when we were in line for the ice cream the employees behind the counter seemed rude. When I asked one of the employees (I am going to assume of college age) if I can try a sample, she told me that I could only be limited to one sample.... She seemed bothered that I was asking her to do her job and help provide service. Also she seemed annoyed that I had interrupted her conversation with another employee about her own personal plans that she was going to do after her shift. I ended up ordering: Double Scoop Ice cream, $7- My husband and I decided to split ths double scoop and get Vanilla Bean and MarionBerry Pie. The vanilla really was very good. I have not had vanilla ice cream quite like this, as it had a very nice natural flavor of vanilla and was not overpowering or tasted artificial. I also really liked the marionberry pie flavor. I also had learned during our trip to the Pacific North West that marionberries grown in Oregon. For the size of this double scoop, it was pretty good for the price. There is also a cafe in which you can order food but I only wanted to have the ice cream during our visit. I am really glad that we ended up coming here (minus the poor customer service and hope Tillamook Creamery will retrain their employees). read more

Tillamook Creamery is a gigantic factory that has food that you could eat, ice cream, and also a free non-guided tour that you do yourself. This place is massive and very pretty and informative as well! I had no idea how much work was needed to make that slice of cheese! Wow, it is pretty cool, and don't forget to get your free samples. There is also a gift store filled with a ton of fun merchandise and I decided to get a magnet and a cheese slicer from here. Overall I think this place would be fun for kids and adults as well! It's educational, fun, and you get free slices of cheese to try! Yum! read more

Tillamook, it's a great story, in short, stop and enjoy. We took the cheese tour that we paid for it in advance, and we were rewarded with a cheese tasting that really reminded me of how wine tastings occur. At the end of the tour, we got five samples on a tray and we were able to compare aged cheese with cheese that was more recently produced. It was quite enlightening, and it ended up having a negative impact on my wallet. We had lunch there which was served quickly and efficiently, and everybody in our group seemed happy with the lunch. On this occasion, we are with My Daughter and her husband and four kids. So when I say that everybody was happy, it's rather unusual to have that many people happy at one sitting. I know this will surprise you but beyond cheese they make a lot of really good ice cream. In fact, half of our family snuck back in the next day for some ice cream. My wife and I weren't invited and were still a little bit upset about that. A bit of advice for you is to know that you won't be alone at the factory. No need to worry though as there's plenty of adequate parking and they've built the facility for the crowds they attract. Also of note, every staff member that we bumped into was nice and friendly. They've clearly created a climate and culture intended to make the guest's happy. Again, in short, this is a great stop, especially if you're into cheese and ice cream. read more

Made a trip to the creamery and tour yesterday and we all left happy and full. The self guided tour was easy, interactive and well planned out. I loved the addition of samples at the end. The cafe was super easy and convenient. Staff were very friendly and the food delicious. We opted to try a variety of items from the macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese, pizza, cheese curds and the broccoli cheese soup. There were 4 of us eating and we had leftovers that came home with us. We didn't try the ice cream there, but instead we decided to each buy a small pint of a different flavor and take it home for later. The shop they have had a great variety of tillamook products and gift items. We all found something to take back as a souvenir and a snack. This was a great family friendly stop and we would definitely come back again. read more

Drove 1.5 hours each way from Portland to get here. The drive both ways were pleasant, easy, and beautiful. There was plenty of free parking. Came during a weekday. It wasn't crowded at all, but there were a good amount of people still. We opted to do the free self-guided tour. The tour was upstairs where they showcased raising the cows to making the cheese. It was pretty cool to see the workers pack the cheese. We spent about half an hour at the tour. We got four samples of cheese at the end of the tour. We then headed downstairs and stocked up on cheese, ice cream, and souvenirs. There's a dining area across the gift shop. We were a big fan of their cheeses, but it was our first time trying their ice cream. We got the old fashioned vanilla ice cream and it was amazing. We had hope the self guided tour was longer, but at least it was free. Overall, enjoyed our time here. read more
The Tillamook Creamery is a quintessential Oregon Coast experience that everyone should make time for! It's less of a factory tour and more of a delicious, interactive museum dedicated to Tillamook's dairy history. The best part, of course, is the cheese samples and ice cream. The whole building is clean, modern, and has a great viewing area to see the production line. It's a genuinely fun, friendly, and delicious stop for the whole family! read more

In Tillamook town where the cows roam free, Sat a creamery as fun as can be. Tillamook Creamery was a treat, a place to explore, With a self-guided tour and oh so much more. Samples to taste and goodies to buy, Ice cream so good it could make grown folks sigh. Parking was easy, no trouble at all, And food choices plenty and something for all. Even cold beer if that's your thing, To sip or to take and what a sweet little fling! We came, we saw, we ate with glee, A creamy, dreamy stop by the sea. read more
Cows.. cheeses and all things fall! Definitely a different vibe from our summer visit. But it didn't disappoint! Enjoyed a somewhat greasy grilled cheese, dunked in hot tomato soup, and of course sweet cravings for ice cream!! It's a must stop when we're going through Tillamook! Thank you for the memories! read more
Been going to costco for ever and been buying Tillamook cheddar cheese for days. I came to visit my sister out here in Oregon and my niece told me about the Tillamook Creamery. I had to go check it out!!! First off the whole place is beautiful along with the scenery. Just looks very inviting. The place looks amazing and even tho there wasnt any tour guides the whole thing was pretty self explanatory. They have the whole production of cheese numbered all you have to do is follow the numbers and read the description. I do feel like once u get to the side where they package the cheese you should do it in reverse and watch how they cut it before they package it. Thats my only complaint. I do want to know what do they do with all the excess cheese they cut off the 40lb blocks and also with the cheese that gets rejected from the converter belt. They have free cheese samples, a huge souvenir shop and some fire ass food! The pizza was hella good with a mad cheese pull. The fried cheese curds were good but i thought they were a little salty. The ice cream was.......omg thats all I'm a say. I got the little tray with 3 scoops. The caramel toffee was my favorite out of the other two. We were there early so the food line wasnt bad but the ice cream line was long af with only one register open. They also had a room where you could connect the milk extractor on the cows utters. Across from that they have a wall that has a lot of different cows and each ones tells you about them. Check them put if you are out in the area. read more
We really enjoyed making this stop with the kids. Both our 5 and 2 year old loved playing pretend feeding the calf. There was another interactive area for milking the cow but it was out of order. There were cheese samples upstairs. A huge gift shop and a lot of seating indoor and outdoors. The ice cream shop had an outdoor and indoor place to order so the lines went fast. For 9 dollars we were able to get 3 HUGE portions of ice cream flavors and share between the four of us. Also, if you ask you can purchase just a waffle cone so we bought 2 and scooped some of the ice cream flavors in it for the kids so we could portion out enough for them. read more
I came to get some cheese and left with so much more. The bonus is that I can charge our Tesla while shopping so we have a full battery for when we head home tomorrow! Cashier was nice. So many options, so excited for the garlic chili cheddar cheese I got, it's the best! I do have to say as someone who is disabled getting to the factory is a lot of work and exhausting if you need a Tesla charger. There is one way in and out for all cars and people, it would be nice if there was a crosswalk to the factory on hwy 6 from where the Tesla chargers are. read more

Tillamook Creamery is hands down my all-time favorite -- truly the best of the best when it comes to ice cream and cheese. This place never disappoints, no matter how many times you visit. You can tour the creamery, see how they make everything, and sample cheese along the way (which alone is worth the stop). There's also tons of shopping, from cheese to fun souvenirs. We grabbed a bite to eat, tried the cheese curds, and of course had three ice creams. Definitely a must-visit stop. Come hungry and ready to indulge. read more

Is there a gluten free menu?
Hi Alyssa, we do not have a dedicated gluten-free menu. However, we do offer many menu items that are gluten-free or have gluten-free bread alternatives that can be substituted in. Before placing your order, we recommend communicating your dietary… Read more
Do they also sell hard salami and other deli meats and crackers to go with the cheese they sell?
They have all kinds of cheese, crackers, deli meats and more for the perfect snack board.
Has anyone done the Exclusive Ice Cream Experience? Wondering if it's worth it. Thanks!
Hi! I did this experience in November. You definitely get a lot of ice cream. It is interesting but I feel like when I do tours like this I was something that the general customer doesn't get like a new ice cream flavor that isn't released yet or… Read more
Do they still have the free cheese samples now considering covid?
Unfortunately they don't.
Do they have gluten free options at the cafe?
I have a picture posted of the current menu.
Is food only available mon-fri?
Food is available during all operating hrs. To go only. There are separate lines for food, ice cream and entrance to the center. Food and ice cream lines move much faster.
Are walk ins welcome on the weekdays during COVID?
You can always order food but if you want a tour of the facility you need to get tickets beforehand. Hope this helps!
Is there an entrance fee?
No tons is free samples too. Of course you can purchase prepared foods and tons of items
Do they have coffee?
Yes they have coffee. The main attraction I would say is the very creamy ice cream. It goes great with the coffee. 👍
Do they offer dairy free options for ice cream? We have a few people in our group that are lactose and I don't want to torture them by stopping by here lol
Supposedly they sell lactaid pills, but on your way here, stop at the drug store and pickup some. I'm lactose intolerant, and I carry my own lactaid pills. Its like saying you have diabetes and forgot to bring your insulin pen.
How long do we need to tour the entire place?
I did a quick tour & ate lunch with some friends. It was busy that day & took 1.5-2 hours. I'd recommend at least an hour, but if you want to sample the cheese, visit the gift shop, buy ice cream or lunch, or take your time then certainly plan to be… Read more
Are they dog friendly?
There is a dog friendly area where the ice cream area is. It is outside.
