Downies Cafe in Bay City

If you want to eat with the locals, look no further than Downies. Right next door to the Center Market in Bay City, Downies attracts fishermen, farmers, locals, and visitors alike with their home-style cooking and homemade pies. Make sure you have money on-hand, as it is cash only.

  1. Grateful Bread

All staff wears tie-dye uniforms at this play-on-words restaurant in Pacific City. The Grateful Bread is tucked away from the beaten path, but the Gingerbread pancakes and Stella Blue scramble is worth the short trek away from the beach traffic.

Offshore Bar and Grill in Rockaway Beach

Oyster and potato hash sound like a breakfast for you? The Offshore Bar and Grill is worth the stop in Rockaway Beach. Just off Hwy 101, across from the beach, it serves up high-quality dishes and unique twists on traditional breakfast food.

3. Meridian Restaurant

As a part of the new Headlands Lodge in Pacific City, the Meridian Restaurant is attracting attention with smoked salmon hash, monkey bread, and buttermilk pancakes with huckleberry jam.
