Crema's Take

Bertie Lou's is a tiny, old-school breakfast spot where the staff genuinely makes you feel like a regular from your first visit, and the hearty scrambles and Benedicts justify the early arrival required to snag a seat. The cinnamon French toast runs sweeter than you might expect, but the overall value and cozy atmosphere keep people coming back Thursday through Monday mornings. If you want a proper breakfast experience with real service and genuine charm rather than just grabbing coffee, this place is worth the wait.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Small sweet cafe with lovely staff though I had better breakfast… cinnamon french toast were too sweet and small serving compare to American standards.

What a super cool tiny place. These people are very nice, fast and the food was wonderful. You won't regret going there. There can be a wait, though.

One of the best and coziest places we've been for breakfast. You can't beat the service and value as well as the assortment of items on the menu.

Wonderful, small quaint restaurant in Portland that serves breakfast Thursdays through Mondays. Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!

Loved this small, old-school breakfast/cafe joint (we’re talking tiny) with great hearty breakfasts and all the classics; scrambles, omelettes, Benedict’s and more. Get here early, as the place is really compact inside, and even added outdoor seating options are limited. Service…
