About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Chimacum, Washington, Chimacum Cafe is a beloved local gem that effortlessly captures the charm of a classic American diner while serving up hearty, comforting fare that speaks to both locals and travelers alike. Specializing in breakfast and casual dining, this cafe offers a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of simpler times, where the aroma of sizzling bacon and fresh-brewed coffee draws you in and stays with you long after the last bite.

The menu at Chimacum Cafe is a celebration of timeless American favorites, with highlights that satisfy every craving. Start your morning with their Everything Omelet or the indulgent Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs, both cooked to golden perfection and meticulously seasoned to comfort any palate. For a midday meal, the Bacon Cheeseburger and the Patty Melt are standouts—juicy, flavorful, and paired expertly with crispy Onion Rings or hand-cut French Fries.

But it’s the homemade desserts that truly linger in memory. The Marionberry Pie, Coconut Cream Pie, and the luscious Banana Cream Pie offer a sweet finish, swirling with rich creams and vibrant fruit flavors that evoke home-baked goodness.

The food was amazing!” Another guest, Marc Milrod, highlights the cafe’s commitment to quality and nostalgia: “Old school mugs, plates, flatware… this means they planned well, and the ingredients are good.”

Service here is far from rushed but moves with the precision and grace of a well-choreographed ballet, as Marc describes. Waitstaff like Roxanne, praised by Kaylee Russell, bring smiles and genuine hospitality that make each visitor feel like part of the community. The busy yet cheerful buzz of the café is a testament to its role as a local favorite and a worthy stop for travelers exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

    My husband and I came for the first time and immediately fell in love with this place. Has that old timey classic diner feel. The music fits the vibe. The staff was quick, attentive and super friendly. The food was amazing!! I had the chicken fried steak and eggs and my husband got the biscuits and gravy. We come up to this area because we got married in Port Hadlock and it's dear to our hearts. 100% will be back!!

    Only one visit, and that on a Sunday morning for Breakfast. The parking lot showed the place to be fairly full, about half having plates as we sat at the counter. No one working here seems under 40, and they move with the grace of a ballet. Old school mugs, plates, flatware... To me, this means they planned well, and I am not spending much money on "ambiance." Looks like they got good ingredients, too. The coffee is nice, no dry thing to showcase the food, nor bold or charred enough to be its' own statement. The kitchen staff kept turning out plates at an impressive pace. Glad I saw pancakes go out. No reason a human needs 3 of these (OK, maybea teenager), not quite light, very fluffy and toothsome platters. Also glad the server asked my wife if she wanted 2 or 3 slices of French Toast. A 4 pack of old growlers, 2 beards, all grey hairs in hats, chatting freely left before we did. Smaller families populated the 4 tops. Prices might be a bit high locally, but for our routine urban digs, this was cheap. I have to mention the pie case. It can probably hold 70 pies or more. No doubt also a throwback, as I can't see that much going out in a week. But they all looked good, and I wish I had room for a slice, or a pie. Clean, not worn. Retro, not dated. I wish there was one of these where I didn't need a ferry ride to get there.

    If you thought small town warmth and hospitality no longer exist, you need to stop by Chimacum Cafe! The place was bustling when we arrived. But, we were immediately greeted by cheery staff and our waitress, Roxanne, could not have been friendlier or nicer! The restaurant had such a positive buzz to it, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. My husband ordered the Paul Bunyan special, a hamburger about 3x the size of a normal burger that he thoroughly enjoyed and took half home because he couldn't finish it! I ordered a garden burger that was so tasty! I had the Tollhouse pie for dessert, topped with ice cream thanks to input from Roxanne about this incredible taste combination. Wow! It was SO good - like a warm chocolate chip cookie with the chocolate on the verge of melting surrounded by a scrumptious crust and vanilla ice cream. It makes me happy just to relive that first bite...and all the rest! My husband loved his Marionberry pie. I'm so glad we decided to give this fantastic place a try. We will be back!

    If you're in the area and looking for a classic diner breakfast or lunch, or just some desert, give them a try. Nice folks serving up humble food in a historic spot. Ambiance is simple, the classic diner counter is a nice spot. The service here seems sweet, laid back and accommodating. The food is what you'd expect from an old diner. The Chimicum cheeseburger looks great. There may be some room for modernizing the menu a bit, but maybe some locals would riot...? Made from scratch soups and pies. They have some gluten free options not listed on the menu so definitely ask if you are gluten free.
