“I stopped at a great little place and had a large French Roast coffee and a breakfast sandwich ham egg and cheese on a fresh croissant. 2 min and I was enjoying a great sandwich at a great value. I met Joo and he was very friendly. They are pet friendly with free dog treats. Enjoy staying and eat inside or sit outside below large very impressive trees that I am sorry I can’t tell you the species.
Anyway stop by and enjoy a quick bite and coffee. He also has an espresso machine to make anything to rival a Starbucks but at much better price point.“

“Whenever I visit Portland, I make sure to stop at this matcha shop. They have a wide variety of matcha treats, including ice cream, snow cones, lattes, and matcha floats. The edible gold matcha ice cream cone is a special favorite. They also change their soft serve flavor regularly. Matcha goes really well with mochi balls. It’s the best matcha I’ve ever had every time I visit.“

“Had the spiced pumpkin latte it didn’t have as much flavor as I wanted but aesthetically the latte art was perfect. I tried the sweet and spicy avocado toast which was amazing. They decorated cute for halloween and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also had desktops for laptop work. Dogs welcome inside and outside on a leash. They make drinks in reusable cups which I liked.“

“This place is such a gem! We went for brunch last Sunday and had the Rowan breakfast sandwich, the lobster benedict, a chai latte, and a cubano. Everything was amazing! The ingredients are fresh, thoughtful, and beautifully presented. Chef Spencer is so talented and I am beyond excited that they will soon be serving dinner in addition to brunch. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was friendly and very quick. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Nice people, great coffee 👍“

“Had an amazing first visit here! The veggie omelet with added sausage was delicious, and the staff made the whole place feel so warm and homely, just like dining at a relative's house. I’m already planning my next trip back to finally try that country fried steak! 🍳😋 #breakfast #food #restaurant“

“For under $20.00 I was able to get a 16oz 2-shot mocha and a bacon, egg, and cheese everything bagel without a long wait. Helpful staff, fast service and delicious food at a decent price. Great way to start the day supporting local small businesses in a good food cart spot. Tables and chairs to eat at in the open areas.“

“There are a lot of hard working people keeping this a safe place to engage with others. Expect tea, coffee, drafts, and good company. 👍👍👍

The new porch is great to hang out on and the back porch is also nice and cozy. There is a library upstairs that has some great literature.“

“Great food and service ☆☆☆☆☆“

“This is exactly what I needed for breakfast this morning! We got a tea, mocha, egg and cheese on a jalapeno bagel, and a pistachio rose croissant. A must try place if you want a comfortable and calm breakfast with good food and great vibes. We got a birthday cake macaroon and walnut chocolate chips cookie to go which were also yummy!“

“I've been going here for about 5 years now & frankly I don't know why i am just now deciding to write a review.

Red E embodies everything about The coffee shop experience that drew me to work in coffee myself 2 decades ago (and I still do!)

The space is very reminiscent of the late 90s, early 00s coffee houses where art, community & alt culture blossomed and thrived & I always feel very nostalgic and uplifted by this place.

I adore the crew here & every regular & adorable dog ive chatted with over the years.... Thank you, Red E for keeping the culture alive, not selling out to some conglomerate capitalist nonsense & pulling some of the best espresso shots in the PNW.

You've got a friend in me & an enthusiast for as long as your doors are open!“

“This place is absolutely magical. The daily dust was delicious and comforting. We spoke at length with the owner and he was helpful and informative - wonderful guy. Will stop here any time I’m in town. Highly recommend!“

“The best barista in Portland !!!!!“

“Cute little place that smells like delicious food! I kept it simple with just sunny side up eggs and home fries. The eggs were a tad runny but they were so good I didn’t care. The home fries were a winner! So good and so well seasoned. I saw the eggs Benedict go out and I kind of wish I had ordered that they also looked great! A lot of regular customers come in and the staff all know them and their orders which is really cool I don’t see that too often. Oh and they have nice outdoor seating for larger parties. If you’re short on time but starving definitely stop here, good food and it’s served quickly.“

“Beautiful place to have breakfast! I love the combination of cafe & plant shop, it's one of those things that makes me love Portland so much. It was really calming & relaxing to enjoy coffee & breakfast with plants (who all have names, which is also delightful. Many thanks to Roxie for being a great date.)

Look at how PRETTY that pile of basil is! The ciabatta on my Sammie was light & airy, the egg was fluffy, and whatever their veggie sausage brand is, it's fantastic. A whole sandwich is big enough for two people & very reasonably priced. I loved knowing that the fresh herbs we enjoyed were probably from plants in the shop somewhere.

Great coffee, great food, & an absolutely beautiful setting to slow down & savor the morning. Glad we stopped in, dropped a pin to visit again.“

“Clean, whole ingredients and the taste proves it. I’ve purchased every flavor suited for coffee, including their chocolate. Hands down the best, freshest tasting syrup I’ve had. A little goes a long way. I have repurchased my favorite flavor combo: fresh apple crisp and the brown sugar simple syrup. The glass bottles are also gorgeous and look great displayed by my espresso machine. Order them all!“

“Try a flight of drinking chocolate and you'll be hooked. It's mind-blowing to truly taste chocolate for the first time and compare two different varietals. Also, the marzipan coffee is Amazing!☕️“

“My favorite breakfast spot in NE PDX! Love the Pandan Waffle Churn Breakfast as well as their specialty drinks. I had Ube Latte, Pandan Latte & Matcha Black Sesame Latte.“

“very delicious food and even better service.“

“I can't say enough about Rabbit's. I was a regular pre-pandemic and have since gone vegan and I miss working nearby so much. Their staff is wonderful; and hey, Anton - if you ever see this, hit me up! I'd ollove to thank you personally sometime and know where you got some of your amazing vegan-inspired t-shirts! <3“

“I cannot stress how good this place is. The coffee is exceptional, the food- so good. Do you like avocado toast? Well, come on down! You like buffalo chicken wraps with croutons and blue cheese? They got you! Great place for a meeting or to hang out! They know their regulars and treat everyone really well. 100/10 recommend.“

“People that work here are so welcoming and lovely. Coffee is out of this world ( I had Americano and my wife had cappuccino). Sandwiches are the best with amazing ingredients. One of my most memorable breakfast experiences if not the best. Also like the philosophy of paying attention to humanity as I love being a human“

“Erin made a delicious iced lavender mocha for me in January! I'd like to add the coffee was perfect and service excellent. My friend and I had a rough morning and she really turned it around for us with her awesome personality and smiles. I used to go to Grendel's in mornings when visiting friends in the neighborhood and was pleased to have another good cup of Java there. Stay rockin! ❤“

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

“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!“

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

“been going here for years. The family that own the restaurant are the nicest people!“

“I love Bennett’s Best Bites! It’s quickly becoming my satellite office when the AC is on the fritz at my work, lol. The owner, Matt, is incredible. Friendly, personable, and community minded, it’s everything I’m looking for when I need a good coffeehouse to chill and work. Food is amazing too! Don’t sleep on this awesome little gem.“

“Great cheddar biscuit sandwich. It’s pricy. $60 for three of us and one was a 5 year old. But otherwise fun little spot.“
