What a lovely local diner. Â The food was awesome and the staff friendly and efficient. Â Small kids were made very welcome. Â Food was fresh and tasty and served with little wait time. The smell and sight of freshly baked blackberry and rhubarb pie was awesome. Â A great place for lunch after a long ferry ride.
Review Source:It was 10 o'clock in the morning, but that wasn't going to stop me. I had heard about their Blackberry pie from the concierge at our hotel (review of Olympic Lodge coming soon). "It's absolutely delicious, I highly recommend going to Joyce after visiting Salt Creek... the town is small and there's nothing else there, but just give it a chance."
So we pulled up to the Blackberry Cafe, its windows lined with ornate tea pots and faux roses, we parked and sat ourselves at a booth. Sipped coffee and I did it. I ordered a slice of pie and it was.... divine.
And by divine I mean...I couldn't help but laugh to myself... how could some regular old blackberry pie be THIS good? The berries are wild and freshly-picked and the pie.. it literally stuffed with them, and the thick juices spilling out its sides.
Ok... Â why didn't I get one to-go? And why, WHY is this so far from my house?!

We've become semi-regulars for weekend brunch here and continue to be extremely happy. My husband loves their corned beef hash, I love the scrambles, and our 4yo loves the bear-shaped pancake, playing with the chotchkes in the windows, and the basket of books and coloring books. Our infant son has been more than welcome. A true family place. Only complaint is the pie is crazy expensive -- like $7/slice as I recall. It's good but it would have to be mind-blowing for me to pay that price again.
Review Source:A group of us went camping at Salt Creek and came here for a Sunday morning breakfast on our way out. It was very cutesy mom and pop type feel. Our server was really sweet...
The food was OK. nothing spectacular but the prices were cheap and theres not a whole lot in that area so its a good choice! The only thing that would have been really nice is if they served adult breakfast beverages :)
It has been a family tradition for my father and I to travel up to Joyce and share the Logger Burger at Family Kitchen after a long day of hiking. Â This year, my father, my son and I went up to try the same thing. Â Unfortunately, the Family Kitchen restaurant is only open when they want to be open. Â On this particular day, it was closed and our stomachs and hearts dropped. Â Our dreams of eating an enormous burger shattered....UNTIL we drove right down the street and saw Blackberry Cafe.
Blackberry Cafe is a special gem in this area of Washington. Â Friendly, down-to-earth service and great homemade food. Â They offer their own "giant" burger called the Sasquatch Burger which is a pound of meat on enormous home made buns with all the fixings. Â Boy, did this hit the spot. Â I was able to get through 3/4 of the burger and then put in the towel. Â No beer or alcohol served here, but thats okay. Â The food is delicious and the service is undoubtedly hospitable.
We wouldn't have found this place without Yelp. It was good-much better than we feared as we pulled up to park. The blackberry lemonade was fantastic, and the pies looked incredible. It had a typical country-diner menu heavy on burgers and other fried foods, but with some surprizing additions like good salads, (homemade?) soups, meatloaf, friend chicken, and tons of desserts that looked homemade. I think someone went above and beyond coming up with the menu.
Review Source:Blackberry cafe is only a 5 mile drive from the Log Cabin Resort on Lake Crescent. We stuck with the blackberry theme from beginning to end. The blackberry lemonade was good but quite sweet. The blackberry BBQ burger was excellent. They soak the entire patty in the BBQ sauce. It makes for a messy burger but worth it. The blackberry salad was excellent as well. The wild blackberries on the salad were the best I've ever had. So flavorful. We asked if they could add grilled chicken to it and they were more than accommodating. (They charged a couple extra bucks for the chicken but we expected that.) We brought a couple of pieces of blackberry pie back to the resort with us. We prepared the pie a la mode and I have to say they know how to bake a pie as well! If you don't leave room for the pie take some with you. This is exactly the kind of place you should look for while traveling. Really good food, local charm and friendly service.
Review Source:I love small, local, out-of-the-way breakfast joints and this is among the best. Â It has that wonderful, homey roadside diner feel that no engineered chain-restaurant can ever achieve. The blackberry waffles and pancakes were a perfect start to a hungry morning. Â As the name implies, these guys love, serve and do justice to blackberry-based dishes. Â I just wish the side of bacon (real bacon, not those dinky little strips most places serve) would've refilled like my cup of coffee (real coffee too, not that engineered snobbery derived by the chemists at Starbucks).
Review Source:Great eats anytime of day/night. Homemade dishes, great friendly service. Must try the pie or cobbler since the berries they use are fresh local and likely wild. Changed owners a bit more than a year ago. I'm visiting my in-laws close by and will definitely be back for breakfast and more cobbler.
Review Source:We pulled off at highway 112 desperate for some hearty eats after a four day backpacking trip in the Olympic National Park. This was exactly the place I'd had in mind. They were not in the least bit perturbed by our hiking getup, our ordering dinner at 3:30pm with copious amounts of coffee (free refills), or our lengthy decision making process.
They had a good looking dinner special, but in the end I went with the Luau burger, and my boyfriend got a burger with their signature blackberry barbecue sauce (yum!!!!), which they also sell by the bottle. Fries and cole slaw were decent, but definitely save room for the pie which they are quite famous for! We ended up taking a slice each to go, we had at least ten kinds to pick from and it was heavenly. We ate it on the ferry on our way back to Seattle.
Our server was very friendly and attentive and our food was cooked to order. However, since we were there at a strange time and pretty much had the place ourselves, its hard to know how busy it gets.
I also really enjoyed the blackberry theme which could be seen throughout their menu: blackberry lemonade, sauce, salad, you name it. Kind of a fun take on the standard diner-y sort of place.
