This Oregon Restaurant Is Tucked Away In An Old Brick Factory And It’s Just Begging To Be Visited

Oregon is always changing and growing, and that's especially true of its businesses. Sometimes the old makes way for the new, and buildings are renovated for new purposes. Such is the case with the Gleneden Brick and Tile Factory in Gleneden Beach. Once a bustling factory, this space now serves as a restaurant and reception hall, and you're going to want to dine here.

Welcome to Side Door Cafe! This pretty restaurant is located in a building that once served as the Gleneden Brick and Tile Factory.

The address of the restaurant is 6675 Gleneden Beach Loop, Gleneden Beach, OR 97388.

The 7,000-square-foot warehouse has been thoroughly renovated to house both Side Door Cafe and Eden Hall - a space that's perfect for wedding receptions and large parties.

While this place was once bustling with factory workers and machinery, today it's a charming, pretty place to meet with friends and family for a delicious meal or celebration.

The transformation from factory to restaurant is simply amazing. The soaring ceilings and are still in place, adding tons of natural light and an airy, open feeling to the dining room.

The restaurant is full of greenery, and the rich wood accents and soft textiles make this place feel cozy and comfortable. Many of the materials used in the renovation were salvaged from other historic Oregon buildings, like the Multnomah Public Library, Lincoln City Police Station, and Portland's Old City Hall.

The food here is absolutely delicious, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Lunch offerings include plenty of fresh, crisp salads, an array of tasty sandwiches, and hearty soups.

The quiches and quesadillas are favorites on the menu. Both are stuffed with delicious fillings.

For dinner, you'll find several scrumptious pasta dishes to choose from, along with large dinner salads and lighter fare.

Entrees include specialities like hazelnut encrusted pork medallions, charbroiled rib eye steak, panko herb rubbed fresh salmon, and more.
