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.

Bryan Cook/Google 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.

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.
