Kingsland Kitchen
301 SW Pine St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Tucked right next to Mother's Bistro, this Portland breakfast and brunch spot pulls off the tricky balance of being genuinely quick for those grabbing coffee on their way out while also inviting enough for lingering over a full meal and conversation. The kitchen delivers hearty, generously portioned food at fair prices, and the service is attentive enough that your coffee cup rarely sits empty—though the popularity means you'll want to get there early or be prepared to wait for a table. It's the kind of neighborhood kitchen that earns its steady stream of regulars through honest cooking and genuine hospitality.”

This was a quick decision spot to try for breakfast and it was very worth the trip. The service was excellent and quick. I can not wait to go back to try their lunch menu.
First brunch out in 2026! Excellent food and even better service. Your coffee cup will never be empty. I had the California omelet with a side salad, and English muffin and left feeling healthy and full. Stick around for the mimosas.
We are currently here and have been here almost an hour with no food. We have watched tables get sat, get their drinks and food, and leave before we even got our drink order. Do *NOT* get a window seat because they will completely forget you are here even while making eye contact and smiling at every single server that walks right past you. We unfortunately got the worst server in the entire restaurant but the fact all the other servers are walking past us, noticing we are not getting helped, and refusing to help because they are not our designated server. Unfortunately this was a terrible first time experience here. Hopefully next time we get a better table & server (if there is a next time)
Right next to one of my other favorite spots, Mother's Bistro...The Kingsland Kitchen somehow wasn't on my radar. We were in a hurry and crossed our fingers hoping to get in get out. The regular tables were all full, but they have bar top window seating which was just fine. We were set and served immediately and our food came out way faster than it should have, and was so fresh and tasty. I ordered the slow cow tacos which were unbelievable, so good!! I can't remember what my wife's dish was called, but it was also excellent. Don't know what brand of coffee they are using but it was excellent as well. Prices were more than fair And we made it out of there with time to spare. We will see you again soon, Kingsland! (Oh, those potatoes were excellent as well!)
Very busy for good reason. The portions are big and its reasonably priced. The food is delicious but I knocked a star off due to no seasoning on their chicken. There is a wait so make sure you join the wait list. Service could be better. We were called and then were told our only option was to sit outside but then the next 3 or 4 groups all got sat inside. We would go again if ever back in Portland.
