Jamon Benedict was a winner. Not only was the food and atmosphere amazing, but the price of my meal was kind of hard to beleive.
Its a very focused menu, not a variety show of random stuff which is i guess how they can be so efficient on costs. The Benedict was with two perfectly poached eggs and served in a big and thick slice of white bread toast instead of English muffin.
Wish I had taken a picture, but will definitely be back so I'll update my review with photos...read full review

Awesome food, quick service, surprisingly great music! We went two days in a row, I had the Rowan breakfast sandwich the first day and the berry french toast the second— both were amazing. And their coffee is incredible. Can’t say enough good things about this cafe. Can’t believe the place isn’t mobbed at opening every morning.
A hidden gem in SE Portland. Beautiful atmosphere, warm and attentive service, and you can taste the craft and care in every detail. Even something as simple as a burrito or a ham benedict comes out feeling like a piece of culinary art. Hard to put into words, honestly, just go experience it yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Cafe Rowan offers a cozy atmosphere with good decor and clean surroundings, making it a great spot for families and large groups. The menu goes beyond sandwiches and burritos, featuring unique dishes like the highly recommended crab eggs Benedict, Jamon eggs Benedict, and a must-try lobster roll, which is imported from Boston with lobster from Maine. The food is delicious and elevated, showing great attention to detail. The place is self-serve and perfect for those with dietary restrictions, as the staff is accommodating in adjusting ingredients. The banana foster french toast is considered by some to be the best in Portland, while the harvest breakfast burrito is a favorite for takeout. The mortadello sandwich is also a daily special that has received praise for being crispy and juicy. Although parking can be limited, it's easy to find street parking nearby. The restaurant is ADA accessible, with ramps and wide pathways, although it may be challenging during peak service. Cafe Rowan is worth a revisit for its delicious food, unique dishes like the crab Benedict and truffle-topped Jamon Benedict, and unbeatable service.
