Crema's Take

Genies Cafe is a Portland institution where the breakfast is so good that regulars have been coming back for decades—think generous portions of scratch-made Benedicts, scrambles, and biscuits paired with solid coffee. The woman-owned, family-run spot nails the balance between feeling like a genuine community gathering place and an actual destination brunch spot, with a warm staff that makes everyone feel welcome. If you're after reliable, hearty breakfast food in a genuinely welcoming space, this is worth the trip.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

My husband LOVES this place and often will ask to go to Genies for breakfast any chance he gets. This place is has amazing breakfast food and a warm welcoming staff. I am confident in saying this place serves the best biscuits and gravy and house potatoes.

My go-to brunch location for more than two decades! Delicious and reasonably priced options abound for a vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Gluten-free options available also. Good coffee, Great cocktails. My only complaints are the two things that used to be there that I loved…
