Crema's Take
“This is a brunch destination that takes its breakfast seriously—the corned beef hash is made from finely shredded meat rather than chunks, the home fries are legitimately exceptional, and toast arrives as massive, golden slabs that justify the hype. The coffee flows endlessly while friendly servers navigate crowds with genuine enthusiasm, making it equally good for a quick caffeine fix before work or lingering with family over leisurely weekend mornings. Don't expect cutting-edge specialty drinks; instead, expect consistently excellent traditional coffee and a warm, unpretentious atmosphere that has made this place a reliable Portland favorite for years.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

This is an old favorite. Though it continues to be a bit cramped and a long wait, it's very much worth it. Food is always excellent and options are vast. Lobster eggs Benedict is fantastic, and the bacon scallion pancakes with bourbon maple syrup is a must try. Get there as…

My wife and I were in town for business and googled "best breakfast spots in portland", and this was the top spot so we said let's go! The wait for a Sunday at Brunch was only 20 minutes for one of the best rated spot in the city which I felt was no issue. Our server greeted us…
Stopped in on a whim, googled this place and boy it didn't disappoint! That slice of "toast" is the size of a Frisbee, under it the most amazing home fries I've ever eaten! Endless cups of coffee amazing staff taking care of us, a true hidden gem in Portland!
Great friendly service. They were crowded and we didn't have to wait much. We sat at the bar upstairs. It was fun. Yummy coffee. I ordered the corned beef hash. It's not chucks of corned beef, it's pulled apart style, which the flavors were over the top! I highly recommend it.…
