Eat
Places to grab a bite to eat - some are grab and go, others are fine dining.
We love Natalia's! A cute, charming corner cafe. The prices are a little high for us as a family of 4, but every so often we splurge and love to grab breakfast there!
Natalia's Cafe
These. donuts. are. delicious. They're massive and they have a rotating monthly menu (as well as staples, like the pink one with sprinkles).
Next Dough Neighbor
Hidden River is a coffee shop in a quaint little house. Their syrups are made in-house and their breakfast sandwiches have this chipotle mayo situation that is superb.
Hidden River Coffee Roasters, specialty roasted 100 ... - Camas
Perhaps my favorite place to grab a bite to eat on Saturday mornings in downtown Camas. The Mighty with Bacon on a plain bagel is MY JAM. My kids love the snickerdoodle with cinnamon vanilla cream cheese. But I've watched them sell out so fast on bus...
Cedar Street Bagel Company
Always busy, always friendly little coffee shop. They have monthly seasonal drinks on rotation and a variety of grab and go bottled beverages. My kids always look for the yogurt with strawberries and granola. Also, the “Maddie Mocha” was born here - ...
Caffe Piccolo
The chips and salsa, while a $4 charge, are bottomless and DELICIOUS. The vibes are fun and in the summer they turn part of the street into an outdoor patio, which I love.
Nuestra Mesa - Authentic Mexican Food in Camas
A delightful island fusion restaurant in the Camas Hotel at the heart of downtown Camas. I love their curry macaroni salad.
Tommy O's @ The Camas Hotel
Super fancy steakhouse. We had a gift card and went once for our anniversary, but I can't remember what we got because I think I blacked out at the prices.

Shop
Two stories of charming, unique finds. Some are new and others are vintage, but each booth is curated with so much thought and care.
Camas Antiques
My girls call this “the sweet shop” because upon entering, you're greeted with a counter full of delicious chocolate treats. But it's also full of locally curated gifts.
Sweet Intention Gift Boutique
A fancy home interior store with curated furniture and smaller home goods like candles and kitchen towels. My preschoolers are told “we look with our eyes, not our hands” every 20 seconds we are in here.
Juxtaposition
A cute, quaint little gift shop. Filled with thoughtfully curated candles, trinkets and really cute baby clothes.

Kids
Periwinkle's is a delightful, fun toy shoppe run by the most wonderful family. There's something in there for everyone, and my kids could go every day for months and never tire of it.
Periwinkle's Toy Shoppe
We call this “the kids store,” but it's where we go to offload the clothes/toys that our kids have outgrown, and save on whatever new phase they're in! Something new every time you go.
4Ever Growing Kids Consignment
Truly one of our most favorite places in the world. Warm, welcoming, inclusive and safe.

Things to actually do
The Liberty Theater is a charming locally owned theater with the best movie prices and a selection of thoughtful throwbacks alongside new releases.
Liberty Theatre
There is always something for everyone at the library. Lots of kids activities, but also a fireside room for reading, tables for working/studying and a shelf full of puzzles and games to enjoy at the library or home.
Camas Public Library
First Friday are our FAVORITE - on the first friday of each month, the stores are open late and there is a themed activity throughout the businesses.
Downtown Camas Association
Wednesday afternoons from June - October, the street in front of the Library hosts farms and small businesses for a weekly farmers market.
