Crema's Take
“If you're serious about waffles, Harney Street Cafe makes some of the best in Portland—crispy exterior, impossibly fluffy interior, with fresh toppings that actually complement rather than overwhelm. The coffee is straightforward and well-executed (no bitter notes, frequent refills), and the whole operation runs with genuinely attentive service that makes you feel cared for. This is the kind of place that fills up fast on weekend mornings, so arrive early if you want outdoor seating.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

This place is very popular. It has a great location and facade that faces the street that provides a wide view of the establishment. There was a short wait as we wanted outdoor seats before autumn fully settled in. The food was good, no legit complaints. However, it lacked any…
