Dungeness Crab cakes with eggs, drizzled with Roasted Red Pepper sauce

Songbird Cafe

I feel like when I share this, I am letting you in on a little secret place, like maybe I should whisper or something.  Hopefully the locals won’t mind me sharing this find. Songbird Cafe is a cute cafe in SE Portland, in a great area near Mt. Tabor. It really felt like we had discovered the local breakfast place that also has a great happy hour and dinner. And let’s not forget lunch. We went for breakfast, but we checked out all the menus.

I ordered the Dungeness Crab cakes with eggs and they were [Read more...]

The Honey Pot Bakery

This place is so dang cute. You can’t help but stop by and look in, and then it’s all over…..Sweet and Savory pies. We entered this pod looking for some good eats and we did find some great eats. We went to Fishbox, Namu and Blues City Biscuits. Even with all that food we knew we were going to enjoy some dessert from The Honey Pot Bakery.

The day we came [Read more...]

Blue’s City Biscuits

This place gets the reviews. I really wanted to bring my in laws because they love biscuits and gravy. It’s not a dish I would seek out, but they do. I am also not a huge biscuit fan, so if you specialize in biscuits, [Read more...]

Sanborn’s

A little sampling of everything.

3200 SE Milwaukie Ave
Portland, OR
(503) 963-8000
Sanborn’s

This place reminds a bit of Cheers. As we sat there we watched the staff say “Hi” to people as they walked in, give them hugs, and check on them.  Not just a few couples, but quite a few couples.  This is a neighborhood hang out for sure.

Don’t worry I told him we had never been there before and he gave us a good amount of attention too, no hugs, but at least we didn’t feel left out.

I went to get the Eggs Benedict. I heard they were so lemony that they warn you before you order them. [Read more...]

The special with pulled chicken and a verde sauce.

Crescent Cafe

We were headed to the coast and wanted to get in a late breakfast before we hit the road, but we also wanted to get down the road a ways, so we stopped in McMinnville at the Crescent Cafe. I had heard that this place as supposed to be a great. I also heard there was going to be a wait, but it was worth the wait.

Sure enough we show up and there is a wait, but the owner assured us it wouldn’t take long. He was correct, we were seated rather quickly. The menu is not huge, but [Read more...]

Crab Eggs Benedict from Wildflower Grill in Lincoln City. Look at the toast at the top of the picture to see how thick it is.

After leaving Pacific City and heading home we decided for a little detour through Lincoln City for breakfast. I did some research and liked what we saw. Before we fully committed we checked the menu and it had 4 Eggs Benedicts on the menu, “Heck [Read more...]

Eggs Benedict from Genies Cafe

1101 SE Division St
Portland, OR
(503) 445-9777
Genies Cafe

I”ll be honest I don’t remember how this place got on my list, but it did. I had also read tons of reviews and it gets rave reviews. The only bummer on this day was that the sun was shining and they didn’t have outdoor seating, but not to worry, they have huge windows, so you can still experience all the sun.

When you first walk in you enter what seems like a coffee shop, and a sign that says “Wait to be Seated” with a sign in and no one in sight except for the barista, who pretends your not there. Very Portland, don’t be offended, just do what it says.

Once in, [Read more...]

Breakfast Burrito from Laurelthirst Public House

Laurelthirst Public House

*This review is based on brunch only*

I got invited by Paul Gerald, author of Breakfast in Bridgetown.  He was doing some dive bars and I thought chances are I would never try one of these places, so I might as well give it shot with a couple of people and see what the place is about.

Laurelthirst is very much a dive bar. The first thing I noticed upon entering is they have 18 beers on tap. It was breakfast, so [Read more...]

The Eggs Benedict special of the week.

The Blue Pig

There are so many things that drew me to the Blue Pig. I love my bennies and they have 4 on the menu, plus they have a weekly bennie special. We, mostly my husband, love hashes and they had 5-6 hashes on the menu. What pushed me over the top and had me actually making the trek down today was the [Read more...]

I always love finding a hidden gem, and had I not been tipped off by one of my readers, I would have never known about this place. When I say hidden, I mean hidden. This restaurant is underneath the Office Max in the Pearl. Who knew?

As you walk in you feel like you have literally entered a different world, with it’s very own [Read more...]
