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

6839 SE Belmont St

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...]

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...]

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...]

The menu board at Pips Original

4759 NE Fremont #C

Pips Original

Ok, I’ll admit I’m not a huge donut fan. Oh! Did I just say that out loud?  My bad.

Pips has so much recognition, that I finally decided I needed to see what this was all about. So one day, like any other couple after breakfast we decided to go for dessert. Because people do that right?

We ended up at Pips, intentionally. Pips is not a donut shop like I thought [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...]

Jamison for Brunch

Steak hash with brussel sprouts and cauliflower. This photo is not edited. The yolk was that yellow.

900 NW 11th Ave
Portland, OR 97209

Jamison

I had been to this restaurant one other time when it was Fenouli. We had drinks outside and somehow I had never wandered inside. I was struck by how beautiful this place is. Old barn wood covers the high walls, chandaleirs hung in bird cages provide the lighting. Huge doors open up in the summer to let in the warm sun at it offers a view of Jamison park.  The bar has bar stools that seem extra large and high giving a great view of the chefs cranking out some awesome creations. Yep, the atmosphere alone won me over.

Before we left I checked out the menu online and I was excited, to say the least to try this place, already making [Read more...]

Zwetschkenschmarrn. An Austrian pancake that is fabulous.

2348 SE Ankeny
Portland, OR

Slide Inn

I love when I discover a new place that is on a street I have never been on. That’s also what I truly love about Portland. I feel like every time I go out and try a new place, it’s a complete adventure! Today, was no exception.

Slide Inn is off of Ankeny, in an up and coming area. There are empty lots, brand new condos followed by run down buildings and tucked in between all of that you find some great eateries, like Slide Inn. It’s those places that make me happy.

We got there for their weekend brunch, right when the doors opened.  We were greeted by the owner. I love talking to owners. They are passionate about something on the menu, [Read more...]

Portobello Benedict from Equinox

Equinox

I hadn’t really heard much about Equinox but once I saw a Groupon and checked it out in the Breakfast in Bridetown book, I knew I needed to give it a try.

We decided to try the breakfast. There was enough of a Groupon to get one meal and a drink at a discount, so as always, it seems like a great way to try a new place out.

I was instantly intrigued by the menu and the fact that they had so many benedicts, especially the [Read more...]

Toast

Seriously???  I was just reading that Toast has been around since 2007.  Wow, I’m late to the party.

We wanted to try a new place to celebrate my father in laws birthday. After much research I decided this menu would please everyone.

Toast is a neighborhood diner. It looks like a hole in the wall restaurant, but inside it’s a charmer. Every.single.item we saw coming out was [Read more...]
