We had breakfast to go many times here but finally went in and had breakfast at the bar. The staff were all so friendly and playful. We had the dirty tots, No.2 and a croque monsieur. We also ordered six of the english muffins to go to share with my in-laws that we were seeing later. The food was simple but tasty. The only thing I’d pass on next time is the garlic mayo on the dirty tots (as it upset my stomach). But both sandwiches were very good! If you are in the area, this is a strong choice, they’re also known for their coffee and iced coffees.
A must visit if you’re in Portland! The breakfast sandwiches on the homemade English muffins were absolutely incredible. We ordered the specialty brown sugar honeycomb lattes and it was absolutely amazing. Ended up stopping here twice on our trip! It does seem to get pretty busy in there and the tables are on a first come, first serve basis. The staff was very friendly despite being very busy!
