FOH terrible. No greet 10 minutes, empty restaurant, and rude for no reason when finally acknowledged. I came in smiling and was actually blamed by the staff, for their own incompetence.

Coffee better next door. Food is mid, limited small menu. Go elsewhere!

Grumps shouldn’t be the ones representing any business. Clearly staff is not happy to be there, and just wow. Never again will you see my money.

Cruise ship season just started, too. Good luck with that!

The best service and breakfast sandwich in Portland!

This place blew me away. It’s honestly the best roast beef sandwich I’ve had in years. Excellent Cobb salad, and phenomenal coffee. This was a random stop for us but I’m so glad we stopped in

The lobster rolls at Navis are spectacular! It's all we had here, but they were excellent. A single lobster roll is packed with so much lobster that it was a full meal for each of us; two members of our party couldn't even finish them. And they were delicioso!

For a "cafe" I was impressed with the food quality! Flavor and ingredients were wonderful. Prices are a bit high for the Cafe experience but in Portland - to be expected. Sandwich sizes are moderate, prices listed are for just a sandwich, no sides. Typical Portland Cafe vibe.

Some things I wasn't fond of that ultimatly lead to the 3 star rating - the service was subpar. I didn't catch the cashiers name but she was incredibly unfriendly and after needing to split the bill within our party (2 people) it seemed like a huge inconvenience, she even scoffed! I was shocked! After we got our meal the two cashiers sat on their phones the entire 30 mins we were there, I can see why she was so upset at the extra work of splitting the bill.. emphasis on the word "work". Also, the sun was beeming right into our faces the entire meal (approx 10:45-11 15a in Dec.) and every table was affected by the sun, no hiding from it.

I stopped here as a tourist wanting a cup of coffee and something to snack on. My husband and I order 2 coffees and we split the bow sandwich. I was very impressed with the service the moment we walked in the door. We enjoyed our delicious coffees, the Bow sandwich and chocolate chip cookie. Everything was phenomenal! This is now my favorite coffee cafe in Portland!

I'm a frequenter here. Love the location, the music, the atmosphere. The coffee is pretty good and not overpriced. The staff is rather nice too.

Great little Cafe, opens at 7 and the staff are always friendly, the coffee is ok ( great for American coffee, but hey if you want great coffee, go to New Zealand).
The food is fresh and really good
