50 Best Cafes near Lake Oswego

“I wanted this to be 5-star so bad. The food was outstanding, service was ok. We got brunch instead of the full tea service. Upon ordering, we were told that in the afternoon, breakfast items on the ‘brunch’ menu are not available. It also took an hour+ and when served, we were told brunch was second priority. If it’s not a true brunch nor priority, why offer it? These are both items I would have appreciated knowing before making an expensive brunch reservation.“

“I love this place! Me and my family have been going here for the last few years and it’s definitely our go-to coffee spot! The owner is amazing and is always fast to serve. The host of regulars that come in are fun characters as well.

I definitely recommend this place if you want a nice latte and a delicious breakfast sandwich.“

“Such great wraps and sandwiches! This has become my go-to spot for picking up lunch. This is a tiny little kiosque-style cafe in the middle of a large office building. The service is excellent! They have always been efficient and prompt. Highly recommend.“

The potato leek pastry is to die for and we truly cannot wait until we can return! We live about an hour and a half from Portland so it’s always a treat to stop by and refuel here. Hopefully people feel inspired to branch out and try the offerings here because they are very much worth your time and enjoyment.“

“Jenni has done a wonderful job of making this a comfortable and welcoming environment. On top of that the food and coffee is top tier. Do yourself a favor and come by this amazing coffee shop“

“Wow! We have been fans of Dean's Homestyle Cafe for many years. When the new owner's took it over this year, we were concerned about whether the comfortable, flavorful, "homestyle" experience we were used to would remain. The new team has done great! The staff is super friendly and working hard to make people feel welcome, learning names of regulars, and carrying on a place with a great reputation. The food is still excellent with super generous, well prepared portions and very reasonable prices. Well done!“

“You know that advice that’s like, if the locals are eating there it will be good? When I peered in the window and saw 3 elder (and let me say, spiffy!) gay couples having breakfast here I knew it was gonna be good. Self service coffee while we waited for the table was clutch. Shout out the servers, they’re awesome. It took a min to get our food, but that’s because they were sending our food back for a re-do. It came out scrumptious. Get the scrapple“

“Ernest and Ross are so awesome, they always have a positive attitude and are great at communicating! I love coming in and getting a Gluten free Roma Toastie with my bf. It’s so nice to have a cafe close to home queer plants always has so many cozy plants and cute art! It’s a great place to run into folks in the neighborhood and have a social moment.“

“I absolutely loved the mix of German and Portland vibes here. The breakfast burrito was packed with flavor, and the maple latte tasted just like real maple syrup, Cozy local spot.“

“The best barista in Portland !!!!!“

“The matcha ice cream here is exactly my taste, and the young female staff members are always super friendly. Every visit feels relaxing and puts me in a great mood. There is also an older male staff member who carries himself a bit differently from the others — I’m guessing he might be the owner.“

“family friendly and a beautiful environment ❤️ Just love this place“

“what a lovely find in Portland! great pourover and fantastic breakfast!!“

“Their biscuits, pies, and coffee are all amazing. They always have decaf options, hot chocolate, and almond milk, too. And they have little doggie biscuits for the furry guys.“

“This place is bombie! Food is always good and service is amazing I highly recommend :)“

“The guy behind the counter was SUPER NICE!!! However, the donuts were way too sweet, I had a Maple old fashioned, and my son had a frosted sprinkled vanilla cake. He said the same thing, it was way too sweet. However he said the chocolate raised ring donut was delish! I had also ordered a Bavarian cream, which I didn't end up eating and let our roommate have and she said it was delish. So I guess it just depends on if you had a cake versus a raised donut, and how sweet you like your donuts.“

“It’s so beautiful inside, lovely employees, and just a cute place“

“Sweetest petite bakery with so many options. The staff were welcoming and gave me suggestions on items but also what to do locally. They also have cookie mix and granola for takeaway. I ordered the mocha and pistachio croissant, both were excellent. I appreciate the attention to detail and high quality experience. I forgot to take a photo of my mocha.“

“Nice breakfast full range to suit all. Good quantity well presented 👍“

“I’m a cat person but I LOVE this coffee shop. Most of the employees are very friendly but my favorite thing about this Place is their specialty drink Menu. I
Almost always order a fun drink from their specials menu and this sets them Apart from all the other coffee Shops.

Their emphasis on bringing your own reusable mug is
Also commendable!“

“I have art hanging in the cafe. It’s a beautiful space, a great compliment to my paintings. The owner and the staff were very nice. The food looked and smelled delicious; I will go back another time to eat!“

“Very good food! This time I had the potato gratin with greens and added the smoked trout. The trout is not always on the menu but I get it whenever it is. It's tender, fresh, flavorful and not saturated in oil or overly salty. Got a honey cake to go!“

“My iced latte is delicious and I got an extra bacon breakfast burrito to go!“

“Great coffee in an industrial-chic space with a noticeably Brazilian flair. I had the Waffle de Queijo, a must have (especially with jam)! The baristas are very friendly, and there is free WiFi access. It's a popular spot for locals to have small, casual meetings.“

“Went here yesterday for lunch and it was so good. Got the okonomiyaki bagel as a lox sando with a nitro cold brew. everything was fresh, flavorful, and just done right.

WARNING: you’ll order more than you planned because everything looks amazing.“

“The real deal artisanal Portland coffee roaster. Best in the business.“

“Great place. One of my favorites in the neighborhood. I love how bright the coffee shop is and the open layout in general. The coffee is better than the two closest cafes too me, but it doesn't quite make my Portland top ten. It's definitely a runner up though.“

“Delightful quick service. The sandwich i received was huge and came with a little bag of chips some pickles and plenty of napkins( important when taking it on the go!) OH, and it was delicious. So glad to have discovered this place on my transit route“

Great service, nice atmosphere, clean, organized, creative... Coffee was very good too. Location is really close to the Hyatt Regency and Oregon Convention Center. Menu also had panini sandwiches, and other toppings like lox, turkey, ham, sausage, peanut butter, nutella, etc. They have bananas and oatmeal too.“
