Little Griddle Hawthorne
3566 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR
Crema's Take
“Little Griddle Hawthorne is a beloved Portland breakfast destination where the kitchen turns out legitimately excellent homemade comfort food—think fluffy French toast, crispy breakfast biscuits, and fresh vegetable hash—paired with genuinely great coffee that doesn't get lost in the shuffle. The tight, lively space fills quickly on weekend mornings, but the staff moves through the chaos with impressive ease, getting food out fast without sacrificing quality, and the whole vibe feels like a neighborhood gathering spot where families and friends actually want to linger. It's the kind of place where every detail matters, from the quality of the hot chocolate to the way the potatoes are cooked, making it worth the occasional wait.”

I came in on a Saturday and it was really busy, 20 minute wait, but I took a spot at the bar. The staff managed the busy morning like seasoned champs, got my food in about 15 minutes, which was delicious. The fried chicken Benedict was perfectly breaded and the jam really brought the flavors together. Bonus points for the Aardvark hot sauce! Looking forward to my next delicious meal here. It's not the cheapest, but the value is on point, well worth every penny
The place could use a good scrub on the ceiling and stuff.But the food the atmosphere and the weight stuff was perfect. Didn't have to wait in line.We went around 11ish and had brunch. We are from out of town and we'll definitely visit there next time we are here in portland
My daughter and I stopped by here on a whim and I’m so glad we did! The staff was so pleasant and helpful. The hot chocolate was SO good. The vegetable hash tasted fresh and was delicious. However-the star of the show was the biscuit with the maple butter and homemade jelly. OMG-it was so good! I absolutely love this little gem!
Little Griddle is my favorite brunch spot in Portland!! I love their breakfast sandwiches and burritos. You also can never go wrong with their fluffy French toast! It’s a little small inside so it’s a good idea to add yourself to their waitlist on Yelp before making the trip over, so that your table is ready for you once you arrive.
sooo good! loved every bite..! can’t wait to come back again. crazy fast service too, all fresh & homemade. pancake is a must.. biscuit is a must..! potatoes are delish. shakshuka was really great too. virgin Bloody Mary was perfect.. with spicy pickled green beans?! you can pop your name on the Yelp waitlist before arriving to get a head start.. just check in with them on arrival to confirm! quick turnaround even on a Sunday morning
