Crema's Take
“Little River Cafe's spiced mocha and creative seasonal drinks like their sugar-free hazelnut latte (complete with latte art) are reason enough to visit, but the riverside setting with autumn trees makes lingering over breakfast actually feel like a retreat. The kitchen executes a strong full menu with fresh, thoughtful touches—housemade jam, gluten-free options, and perfectly-proportioned plates—while service stays quick and friendly even when the spot gets busy. This is the kind of place that works equally well for a solo coffee break or a leisurely meal with family.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →We have stopped in while visiting the area a few times now, and always have a wonderful meal! I appreciate they have several options that are gluten free. The staff has their process down; even when the line is out the door it moves quickly and service is kind. Great coffee,…
Will definitely be back! Their fall veggie scramble was delicious and the sugar free hazelnut latte came with a little skull art surprise! And the coffee was VERY good. Cute lil spot to stop if you're out exploring the south waterfront 🙂
Right on the water, the trees are beautiful in autumn. Great atmosphere and the service was excellent. I had the spiced mocha and an everything bagel sandwich with salmon, very good. Loved coming to this place our first visit to Portland.
Smaller portion size but was perfect for a single breakfast portion. Their housemade jam was delicious and the riverfront seating was great. Service was friendly and fast.
Lovely cafe along the river. Great ambience. Outdoor & indoor seating. Food is really fresh & delicious. Service is quick & friendly. The spiced mocha is really good. Bacon on the avocado toast is thick and crispy. Yum!
