GeekEasy Anime Cafe
310 NW Davis St, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“GeekEasy Anime Cafe is a Portland gem where anime fandom and genuinely exceptional food collide in the most welcoming way possible, with standout dishes like crispy chicken karaage and beautifully executed ramen that justify a visit even if you're not deep into manga culture. Beyond the killer comfort food and creative signature drinks, what really sets this place apart is the palpable care—from owner Tom hand-picking dishes for regulars to the staff going out of their way to help customers in need, creating a space that feels less like a themed cafe and more like visiting a dear friend. Whether you're settling in with a book on a plush teddiursa or discovering a new favorite matcha drink, this is the kind of inclusive, joyful spot that draws people back again and again.”

A happy place. Wonderful vibe, amazing food selection, just an all round lovely place for fans of manga and anime. I read some books on a squishy teddiursa and was in heaven. Please support this amazing cafe!
This is my second time here and it just always gets better. Last I was here, I was able to get a free meal when SNAP was being withheld. That was INSANELY helpful and meant the world to me. The staff is always so so sweet and accommodating. Their wraps? FIRE. I loved mine, and a free iced oolong with it?? Can't beat that!
I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and it did not disappoint. Tom, the owner, helped me choose dishes based on my preference. The chicken karaage was so crispy and delicious, especially when dipped in sweet fish sauce! The crispy pork was also great. The Pokémon artwork made me feel like a kid again; All around, it was a great place to eat!
This is my first time here, and yet, it's like I went to visit an old friend for lunch. Comfortable, calm, and best of all, DELICIOUS food! The takoyaki are perfect, and the ponyo inspired ramen was exactly what I needed on a dreary winter day. Thank you for having me, and I will absolutely be coming here again! 🧡
I cannot say enough good things about this café! I initially stopped in for tea with a friend, but when we saw they had ramen, we grabbed lunch instead. I had the brisket ramen with HK iced tea and it was delicious. They were playing Ponyo on the big screen. It was really fun just looking at all the cool decor/toys they had out, especially all the Psyduck (someone who works there must be a big fan). Don’t forget to check out the bathroom! The lounge corner definitely reminds me of your “secret base” in Pokemon brought to life, especially with all the large plushies.
