I'm really disappointed by our Mother's Day experience at Loam--especially because we've had great visits here before. We had a 10:45 reservation but ended up waiting outside on the sidewalk for over 40 minutes. We got a couple of "it'll be soon" updates and one offer to sit at a picnic table on the sidewalk. That wasn't an option for my husband's back. And, by that point, it felt like we'd already had the full sidewalk experience! To add to the frustration, we watched a table that would have fit our party turn over and be given to a group that had arrived well after us. Once seated, things didn't improve much. Our daughter has celiac disease, and after talking through options with our server, she ordered a modified breakfast plate. When it arrived, it had two slices of (gluten-full) toast placed right in the middle. We asked for a remake. While we were waiting someone came over to tell us (firmly) that the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free. We fully get that, but that's different from putting bread on top of everything on the plate, especially after we'd already discussed the restriction. As I was saying that, the staff member walked away. The interaction felt more like a lecture than the apology that would've been appropriate. The food overall was okay, but not memorable. My husband said the "special" Bloody Mary was the worst he's ever had--memorable, just not in a good way. On the positive side, the gluten-free coffee cake was excellent, and thankfully the company made the day worthwhile. My guess is there may have been an issue with our reservation. We made it in person previously and it was written in a notebook. When we called to confirm the day before, they initially couldn't find it. It felt like it might not have made it into the system, and they were trying to accommodate on the fly once they realized it. If that's the case, a little transparency upfront would have gone a long way--we would have appreciated the option to adjust our plans rather than end up waiting outside for so long. Overall, this felt like a series of misses and mishandled opportunities to improve the experience. It's also an excellent reminder of why I normally steer clear of dining out on holidays. read more

Fried Chicken on special was worthy. And the Cola-Pecan syrup-heavy cream drink was delish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Solid venue, rarely a line.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is very easy. read more

We arrived around 1:30 on a Saturday (they close at 2 until dinner). Plenty of street parking. There was one other party that left maybe 15 min after we sat down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is very cute - there was a red checkered tablecloth on our table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was super nice and friendly. When we ordered the espresso martini and mentioned we only wanted one to share, she came back with it split into two mini glasses! We've never had that happen before. The french toast was really good, esp. with the lemon curd. I was scraping every last bit of it into my mouth. I'd love to try other menu items next time! read more

The waitress was very friendly. There was a little thing. I order over easy egg. And it was so over cooked. But she brought me out a new one very fast. The veggies were way over cooked too. I liked charred vegetables but these were burnt. I didn't complain about that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over all was a nice stop. We were sitting outside and it was so nice and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was very nice but a little too warm for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've only been here three times but I always wanna come back. You're the kind of restaurant where ask questions at many restaurants would find annoying what they don't (at least I hope they don't). I'm going to stop asking questions now because I trust that they will make it in a way but one ingredient doesn't overpower another one. I trust them to do more than I could typically do at home. read more

Loam - Pork carnitas with hash and an egg. Delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dayton, Oregon

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet sleeper of a brunch restaurant in Dayton.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is super sweet and attentive without being overbearing. The portions are large, so come prepared either with an empty stomach or ready to split a dish. Highly recommend the PNW salmon toast (think, smoked salmon bagel but a PNW twist) and the farmhouse breakfast. The lamb burger was a little dry but amazing flavor. Overall, great meal! read more

**Charming brunch (and dinner!) spot in Dayton -- a must-visit!** We were staying at the Trailer Vintage Resort and decided to bike over to this adorable little place for brunch -- and wow, what a find! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and the service was just as lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was fantastic -- she went out of her way to make our usually shy 8-year-old feel completely at ease. It's those little things that really stick with you. Now, onto the food: My husband ordered the *Veggie Sandwich*, and I had the *Chilaquiles*. Both were absolutely delicious! We were initially worried the sandwich might be heavy, but it turned out to be fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly light. My husband couldn't stop raving about it. The chilaquiles were perfect -- I chose the medium egg, and the mole sauce was rich and just the right amount of smoky. We also tried the daily special muffin (orange-flavored that day), and it was the perfect sweet finish. We loved brunch so much that we came back for dinner that same evening! For dinner, I tried the *clams* -- not the best I've ever had, but still tasty and enjoyable. My daughter had the *grilled cheese sandwich*, and she declared it the best she's ever had (and she almost finished the whole thing, which *never* happens!). My husband's *cedar plank salmon* was cooked perfectly, and the rice pilaf it came with was a great match -- light and flavorful. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and you can really tell that the ingredients are locally sourced. The freshness comes through in every bite. This place is an absolute gem -- whether you're here for brunch or dinner, it's worth the stop! read more

Loam is worth the wait - while their hours are limited and they are likely insanely busy on weekends, if you go on a random Thursday like we did, you likely won't need a reservation. The food was excellent- I got the farmer's breakfast and the fatback was the best I've had. My wife got the biscuit meal and loved it too. Servíce was prompt and friendly; the decor was gorgeous and had a refined yet casual vibe. If you're visiting wine country, this is a fantastic brunch spot. read more

Full espresso, coffee bar! I had a gluten-free berry muffin that was served with fresh whipped cream and a really fresh scrambled egg. My husband had biscuits and gravy.

Came here for brunch during a weekend stay in wine country. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First, the ambiance of this place it top-notch. It really fits with the PNW location and of course the name.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is packed with great options. It made it so hard to pick. My husband ordered the Cowboy Breakfast and I ordered the special hash. The food was amazing. The only thing that could use improvement was the coffee and tea. I ordered a chai which was not that great. My husband had a cold brew which was a bit light tasting. The food and the ambiance have had us recommending Loam to anyone who is in the area. read more

We had yet another delicious brunch at Loam last Sunday. Great coffee, delicious iced lemon roll, and omelettes filled with cream cheese and bits of roasted veggies. My daughter (who lived in Paris) said "It was like eating a French omelette!". Our server was chatty and cheery but maybe should have focussed on the food delivery- coffee spilled and a knife flew off of a plate at clearing, breaking a full water glass. No harm done, was just jarring. Of course we love Loam and will be back. ps- the drive from Salem is very pretty and totally worth it. This place is a gem. read more

We've been here many times for brunch and lunch but tonight was our first time here for dinner.

Hidden treasure, that old brick building in Dayton has Loam. First class experience with some really nice people. Not a big place but they serve on china who does that these days? Loam does and food looks and tastes Devine. Charissa took care of us very nice and personable. The menu is all locally sourced and made with care . Great selection if you have any allergies and or have none we had the pork roast and steak for dinner done absolutely perfect! Cocktails made fresh and tasty. Dessert was great. In fact so good we went back for breakfast next day get the French toast it's great or the chicken and French toast and don't forget the pork slab !!

Loam checked every box. It was Easter, we were heading back to Portland from the coast, and we decided on a whim to check this out for brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The unassuming exterior was the curtain to the delightful interior. The VIBE of Loam was just right: exposed brick, flora aplenty, and really laid back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The manager Amy greeted us cheerfully, and we immediately were seated. I had the most delicious (16 oz, triple shot) iced Americano (better than any I've, a former barista, have ever made) for under $5! We ordered the challah French toast with lemon curd and mixed berry compote, and the Farmer's breakfast with two moist, fluffy, vibrantly yellow farm-fresh eggs, house made toast, crispy toasty fried potatoes, and a pork belly slice. We share our plates, enjoyed our coffees, and considered a Bloody Mary or mimosa. I am so happy we took a chance on a holiday weekend. 10/10, will definitely return when I'm in the area. Special shout out to Michelle, the barista. Girl. You've got the magic touch. The single espresso shot we ordered was like candy. I think I may love you? read more

Service was great and the space was lovely. I enjoyed the flowers and plants on the wall. The food was pretty good but not amazing. I loved the chips in the chilaquiles. They were super light and crisp and the rose mole was good. My spouse found the tarragon in the dish off putting. My toast was good but a little on the sweet side and I would have enjoyed more greens. We did encounter a local sparkling wine that inspired us to hunt down its tasting room. read more

If you're in the mood for a breakfast that'll blow your mind, look no further than Loam! This place is hands down the best breakfast spot we've ever been to. Looking forward to dinner here soon! Even our kids, who were in a questionable mood at the at the time, loved it! The food is fresh from the farm and packed with flavor. The bacon was out of this world - it was practically a bacon-steak! the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The ketchup has to be homemade - it was so flavorful! The French toast was perfect! Two huge slices of challah with an awesome tasting lemony citrus curd and fresh berries! Although we originally ordered an item that wasn't available, the service was amazing and we were still blown away by the dishes we did receive. The salmon toast Benedict was our favorite - the wholegrain mustard added a pop of flavor and the presentation was on point. We loved the old school China plates too - they added a quirky touch to the experience. We had an unforgettable time and would highly recommend Loam for breakfast. Trust us, you won't regret it. read more

Had read good things about Loam in local community Facebook groups. My husband and I finally made it out tonight, our anniversary week. He chose a local wine from Alumbra Cellars, a Pinot noir, Tempranillo blend that was so smooth and had the perfect balance. For dinner, he had the smoked chicken pot pie, and I had the smoked duck special. Now he is super picky about his pot pie, and let me tell you...he was over the moon about his meal. He was a happy man. The duck breast and rice was served with fresh asparagus. It was savory and smoky and I couldn't get enough. Looking forward to trying their brunch and bringing my pals to this little gem. Our server was on top of everything, and fun. She made us laugh more than once, and made the experience even better. read more

Loam - This the wine we had. So good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dayton, Oregon

Reminder that this is just our personal experience opinion: I've been meaning to try this place since it's only 10 minutes away from us and has great reviews. We finally did with friends and let's just say it's not what we expected. Everything is over priced and mediocre taste. The service was slow. The orange tasted like Sunny Delight. The lemon curd on the french toast tasted weird(like fake lemon flavor). Too much sea salt on the fried chicken that it left my tongue and lips dry The hot chocolate was not hot. We had to pay for the butter($2) and syrup($1) for the pancakes and toast. The buns for the burger where too thick and disproportional to the patties. read more

Great atmosphere. Cute bar and decent amount of seating. It's not a large restaurant but it is cozy. The booths are quite comfortable and our server was very attentive. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our meals very much. The brisket was the true star of brunch! We ordered the brisket sandwich and we also had the cowboy breakfast plate. Biscuits and gravy... delish! The bacon is thick cut! REALLY thick cut ... the way it should be served! Portions are generous, we actually couldn't finish everything so we brought it home. We also ordered lemon raspberry muffins to go and I can't wait to snack on them. They have different flavor muffins that they rotate through. I was a little sad they only offered rye bread however it is house made and it was fantastic! read more

The service was good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decors were beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clearness I am still indecisive about. As soon as I walked in the place, it smells like urine. I was thinking"...hmm odd! But that could be the ammonia smells from meat." After checking out the bathroom, I think it is just an old building with poor ventilation!! Not something anyone would like to smell while eating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: I give food a 1star. There is definitely fish sauce in their fried chicken, not what I would have used to season breakfast items or used that MUCH!! For the quality of the foods that were served to us, it is about 80% over charged! It's more expensive than NY!!! From looking at the menu and price, we thought the food would be decent but don't be missed led. Compliment to whoever designed and curated the menu!! I want my money and time back!! read more

Very charming breakfast/brunch joint. Variety of breakfast staples and nice cafe selection. They had a Chilaquiles dish on the menu, so the wife and I tried that, with a side of their "slab" bacon. We added a farm egg to the Chilaquiles as well. Not a fan of the slab bacon. It's undercooked and overly chewy in my opinion. I do like the idea of it and the image of it!! but after trying it, I just wasn't a fan. The chilaquiles was well seasoned! I just wished I could have received the over-easy egg I ordered:/ Over-hard doesn't make for a runny yolk to add to the chilaquiles experience. We tried a berry "pop tart" pastry as well, with a nice warning "please allow 15 min for baking" It arrived cold:/ read more
