About Downies Cafe – A Family Tradition of Home-Cooked Meals

Welcome to Downies Cafe and Downies Cafe Downtown!
For decades, our doors have been open to friends, family, and travelers alike, serving up hearty, home-cooked meals that keep folks coming back for more. Rooted in the heart of Tillamook County, Downies Cafe is more than just a place to eat—it’s a tradition of warm hospitality and timeless recipes passed down through generations.


A Family Tradition

Our story began with a simple idea: to create a space where everyone feels at home. Founded by the Downie family, our cafe has always been about more than just food. It’s about gathering around the table, sharing stories, and savoring recipes crafted with love and the freshest local ingredients. Over the years, we’ve stayed true to these roots, making sure every dish that leaves our kitchen is a tribute to the flavors and traditions that built us.


Home-Cooked Goodness

From our signature biscuits and gravy to our beloved homemade pies, every bite at Downies Cafe is a taste of home. We believe in the magic of comfort food—simple, satisfying, and made from scratch. Our menu is filled with family recipes and regional favorites, each prepared with care and a dash of nostalgia.


Two Locations, One Heart

Whether you’re visiting our cozy original location or stopping by Downies Cafe Downtown, you’ll find the same friendly faces, the same mouthwatering meals, and the same commitment to quality. Each spot offers a unique charm, but both are built on the same foundation: great food and genuine hospitality.


Our Community, Our Family

Tillamook County is more than just where we do business—it’s home. We’re grateful for the support of our community and proud to be a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. From sponsoring local events to featuring ingredients from nearby farms, we strive to give back to the place that has given us so much.


So, whether you’re a lifelong regular or a first-time visitor, we invite you to pull up a chair, enjoy a hearty meal, and become part of the Downies family. Thank you for making us a part of your story—we can’t wait to serve you again soon!
