Ice Cream
Corissa L.

Fun experience if you are near the area. The ice cream was excellent, the food was marginal, but it's decent for a cafeteria style bite. And while the lines were long, the service was quick. There's a gift shop and small store where you can buy all things Tillamook. And if you wanted to know how your cheese is made, the upstairs area had a view into the factory from the arrival of the milk to the packaging.

Some of the cool photo props! They even have the Tillamook bus!

While on vacation we decided the VIP tour here would be right up our alley as we love both cheese and ice cream and this brand is top tier. First of all its HUGE! Get the VIP tour its worth it, hands down! You try some amazing flavors, they send you home with tons of goodies and the staff members were PHENOMINAL! Im looking at you Duncan and Emi!! Duncan and his assistant made the whole VIP aspect of the tour amazing! Duncan sang Happy Birthday to another member of the group but sang it in Hawaiian, his native tongue! It was just such a blast! When you go inside for the self guided cheese tour, they give lots of cheese samples!! So yummy! They also have a huge gift shop! It was so much fun to shop in. They also have LOTS of food options in the dining areas! This place was so much fun!

We came on a Sunday so the production line wasn't fully opened. Only a small part of it was running. It's one building overall with a self guided tour and reading as you go. You can go through this place as fast or as slow as you want to. We might've spent around 2 hours but that was including time in the gift shop and carefully reading each sign closely and watching what happens during each process. We got to try samples of 4 kinds of cheeses, smoked black pepper, white cheddar, and medium cheddar, and one more I forget the name of. We also tried some ice cream. It's a cute little stand that you stand in line and grab and go. The gift shop has a ton of items for everyone, even various packs of cheese and cute stuffed cheese blocks. The cafe had your average grilled cheese/burgers, but we didn't end up eating there. The line was super long and the food didn't look worth it to me for the price point. We did end up getting a sampler of ice cream though, 3 flavors being strawberry, Marion berry, and cookies and cream, which were all really good. They were rich in flavor and creamy. Straight from the factory which was pretty cool.

Stopped during a visit to the area, good spot to check out but not necessarily a must in my opinion. If you're a diehard Tillamook person then this is the spot for you. We enjoyed some ice cream and cheese curds, both ok. Staff is so busy all the time.

Ice cream for taste buds tour

I want to give Emiliano and Sebastian 5 stars but I was rather disappointed by Tillamook Customer Service. We had purchased tickets for the tour and ended up being late. We had tried to contact the creamery multiple times before we had even arrived to Oregon , before going to the creamery as well as the day of with no responses back via phone or email. Incredibly frustrating. Once we arrived late the Customer service employee wanted us to join the tour late at which we would've missed all the taking and only caught the tail end of the experience. I had to argue to have it moved which shouldn't have even occurred it should have been proposed. There were no apologies or anything for not responding. The taste buds tour was definitely worth it and Sebastian and Emiliano did amazing. Emiliano also did a great job on the cheese tour itself. We really enjoyed learning about their process and tasting the ice cream. The gift shop is one of the best I've seen. We of course had to try all their food and the ice cream is not only delicious but serving generous portions. Overall if customer service answered the phone and would've better assisted our experience would've been 5 stars .

Free cheese sample

Second time visiting here! The place looks the same as it did in 2021 when I first visited. They still offer packaged cheese samples. This time I tried the cheese curds which were great. Idk why I thought eating it would open up my appetite.. it did not and actually couldn't eat very much of it in one sitting but i saved them and put them in the fridge and after airfry, it's still pretty good! Still a fairly long line on a Saturday an hour before closing time.

Fried cheese curds, kids grilled cheese (with fruit cup)

This place is super cool in general. You can see all the production of their on the second floor and they offer you free cheese to sample as well! The bottom floor includes their gift shop and restaurants. I tried their fried cheese curds which were pretty yummy. They taste just like mozzarella sticks but tiny. Their grilled cheese was great as well, not as good as the Starbucks one though. I didn't try their ice cream but it seems to be the most popular item. You order at the front or online. I would recommend ordering at the front because their online menu doesn't include things like their pizza. This is a cool experience. Their food is alright but I may be biased since I am also lactose intolerant

Front of building

3 stars for the cafeteria 5 stars for everything else CAFETERIA Line was crazy long (not their fault) but it was moving steadily along. They have tvs circulating the menu where the line is and I had my eye on the pulled pork the whole time. Apparently so did everyone else because it was sold out which was super disappointing considering it was like 1pm. I then ordered a burger with a side of Mac and cheese. My burger came made incorrectly (I'd asked for a couple of things off) and the Mac and cheese was really disappointing. I'm getting cheese curds next time! It was also insanely expensive, even for an "attraction" food court. EVERYTHING ELSE I highly recommended checking out the self guided tour if you're in the area. If you're anything like me you've seen Tillamook products in your grocery store for years and seeing how it's made is really cool. Their store is also insane. Pro tip - there are some cheeses you can only get there so keep an eye out for that! Be prepared for crowds no matter when you go. We went midday on a Tuesday when school was in session and it was still packed. Make sure to go on the self guided tour but maybe skip the cafeteria unless there's something you really want and maybe just get some ice cream instead

The positive - the free self-guided tour was interesting and we enjoyed it. The souvenir shop had a lot of interesting things. And of course the ice cream is delicious. The people at the information booth were friendly and personable. And now for what needs improvement! Customer service at the cafe was not friendly. And on two separate days we were there and still couldn't figure out how things work. They give you a buzzer but then you also see people delivering food to tables. The first day, our buzzer went off several times but nobody brought us anything. I finally approached the person who was delivering food and he said we needed to go up to the register to get our order. What? Back to the registers where there is a huge line? If that's the case, have a designated pick up area. And why do some orders get delivered and others don't? Make it make sense. And be clear about it when hand the buzzer to guests. The second time we stopped in, we ordered a breakfast sandwich and a coffee for my husband. The girl at the register asked if we wanted anything else and as I was looking for other drink options, she finalized our order, said the total and walked away. I found that rather rude. Guess I didn't get a drink. Later we saw her just standing at the register with her arms crossed. If she's that miserable less than an hour after opening, perhaps a customer facing job isn't for her. The patio door in the cafe also needs to be fixed so it's not banging every single time someone goes thru it. I would suggest anyone visiting enjoy the self-guided tour, maybe grab some ice cream, but go get food elsewhere. Oh, and as to how the food was - it was just ok. Nothing outstanding and overpriced IMO.

I'd say visiting the Tillamook Creamery is an interesting and enjoyable experience! We arrived early, before the crowds. We entered the large building and began the self-guided tour. We found it fascinating to see how their products are produced. We enjoyed the cheese samples and of course we purchased some to take home. We dined in the cafe and were glad that we beat the lines. We throughly enjoyed the cheese curds and mac & cheese. Wonderful experience but I recommend arriving early. By the time we made it back to our vehicle there were no parking spots and there were long lines to go through the tour and also in the restaurant.

Ice cream is my favorite food - I would be in trouble if I lived close to here! I went with a group of 11 people, 4 adults, 7 kids. We all really enjoyed ourselves. We liked watching the process of making and packaging the cheese ( there really should be some kind of line -start at station 1 and then move along - I know it's designed to do this but there were people just jumping back and forth which because frustrating) The ice cream is delicious - I had to get a flight - my eyes were bigger than my stomach but it was worth it! I do wish the ice cream shop was open later or they had a separate one in town - we stayed in Tillamook for two nights and would have gotten ice cream after dinner every night if it was open!

Free cheese samples

Come for the free self guided tour, skip the cafeteria food. The self guided tour is free and fun for all ages. You can learn how cheese is made and packaged on a large scale. Lots of things to reach and you can sample as much cheese and ice cream. Sampling line is long but cycles through quickly. The cafeteria food had so much potential but it's a total fail. The hamburgers had tiny patties and was mostly bread. The same goes for pizza. It feels like eating 80 percent bread and 20 percent meat. They could have really showcased their cheese in a much better way, but instead let everyone in our group down (except for the kids). French fries were good though. The ice cream was great. Note that they have two lines for this - one on inside and outside. The inside one was long but less people were aware of the outside one. They have a lawn area for dogs and kids to play on. It was great because the weather was nice and kids can run around. They should offer doggie bags for owners to pick up their dog poop though. I saw an owner let their dog lay a fresh one around where our kids were playing and didn't clean it up. The grocery and souvenir store is fun to browse around. The overall experience wasn't as cheesy as I expected. Just a few puns were used, such as "Mooving door". Come here for a grate experience. Plan your lunch elsewhere.

OMG!!! This ice cream absolutely blew my mind, Tillamook Creamery does it so right. Their Portland Strawberry flavor is absolutely the highlight, it is so fresh and natural tasting that I have never had anything like it. The soft, gentle strawberry flavor that tastes real and prominent in every bite is completely top tier. Instantly bought a carton once I got home.

Do they allow kids on the ice cream experience tour?

Yes, kids under 3 are free

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… 

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 the cheeseburger patty made from tillamook cows?

Maybe, just the old ones.

Is there RV parking?

Yes there is, in a separate lot.

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.

Are they open today (Friday after Thanksgiving?)?

Yes - normal hours

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… 

Are they dog friendly?

There is a dog friendly area where the ice cream area is. It is outside.

Blue Heron French Cheese Company was a bit of an impromptu and unexpected stop for us. We wanted to…read moredo something in the area that wasn't the Tillamook cheese factory and Yelp directed us here. I'm so glad it did. They have a shop with cheese, wine, ice cream, snack options and lots of other items. There is also an area outside where you can sit and enjoy your food. They have animals on the property and we purchased some feed for them inside the shop. It's only $1 a bag so we bought lots and headed out to meet them. I loved spending time with the animals but they were not at all interested in the feed. We happened to be eating a sandwich and they were much more interested in that. They have a wide range of animals, from sheep to alpacas and donkeys and ducks and chickens and even peacocks. There's lots to see. That said, I can't really give them five stars because like a lot of the reviews mention, the state of some of the animals is concerning. As much as I enjoyed interacting with them, there were things about their care and surroundings that made me feel really sad. Something I did really appreciate though is that this location allows you to camp overnight in your RV or van for free. This is a huge perk when you're traveling through the area. Because we got here late in the afternoon. We did end up staying the night, but if you decide to take advantage of that be prepared for the bugs. There were so many bugs. There is plenty to see and do here and this place definitely has a lot going for it. If you're road tripping this is a good place to stop. You can get supplies, spend some time with the animals and have a safe place to spend the night.

The best panini I've had for a while. They have quality packaged food as well. Charcuterie in one stop. One building was dedicated to candy. Overpriced for sure.

This place is tucked in off the main drag but the food and prices are well worth the search. Actually Google Maps took us right there. It's not hard to find and there is plenty of parking. The menu is extensive and the food is delicious. The portions are very amazing too. I tried the clam chowder and have to say it is one of the top chowders I have ever eaten and I have tried a lot of clam chowders. My wife had a French dip sandwich, they do not skimp on the beef. Pricing is very reasonable also. This is not fast food but quick service is definitely a priority here. Can't wait for our next trip to Tillamook to eat at Beef & Brews.

I have gotten the breakfast burrito when having breakfast and would characterize it as large, yet underwhelming in taste. None of the beers that i have tried are particularly memorable, but they are very drinkable. The service is courteous and they strive to keep the tables clean. The ordering here is done at the counter and I have found this to be a great way of taking orders in a casual establishment. This allows one to peruse the menu at a table at one's own speed, then walk up to the counter to ask any questions about the menu and then place the order. My experiences have been that the employee at the register has always been patient, informative and respectful. They bring your order to your table when it is ready. My experience is that they give you a conservative estimate of the time for preparing and the real time has been shorter. Note that I think they do a good job with turnaround times given how many customers are in the restaurant combined with their apparent significant take-out business. My dinner experiences have been very satisfying and that is what one would expect from a meat purveyor. However, they do not fumble the ball on the execution. Casual food, but tasty. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating: plenty of both. Part of the outside seating is heated and covered during much of the year. I have never been there when you could not choose a table. I think a great casual stop, and a unique one, when visiting the Tillamook area.
