Bottom Line Up Front: It was annoying when they print and communicate food service is available 8 am to 1pm, and 1:30 pm to 3pm; and we walked in at 1:35 pm and they declined our Food Order. My husband tried to order the Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito with vegan apple sage sausage. And, the person serving us stated they can only ring up orders when their kitchen staff is back from the break, and they couldn't even ring us up. *Not we were in the 1:30 pm to 3 pm range. I was staring at a clock over the person-ringing-up-our-order- shoulder that showed 1:35 pm. So, that was annoying. My husband ended up not getting any food there, even though he was planning on looking forward to it all day. I did get the "Spring Miracle Pill" their seasonal Latte, and that was delicious! And, they were able to make it decaf and with oat milk for me so that was really nice. I also ordered one of their ready-made scones prepared by Shoo-Fly Vegan Bakery. It was an Earl Grey Tea & apricot Scone, it was really delicious. I love the ambiance of the space, it is very light and airy and a great space to hang out in. Keep in mind, if you do plan on using a laptop or other device, I did not see any place to charge or outlets, at least on the upper-loft area.

Spacious, nicely decorated place with several vegan options, including a carrot lox bagel, a breakfast burrito, and 5-6 sweets from the vegan bakery Shooffly!

Great coffee and pastries! Just lovely espresso, and I had an earl grey and apricot scone that I’m still thinking about.Vibe on a weekday at lunchtime is busy but I was still able to find a seat. Seating is a little funny, they don’t have much downstairs and then there’s this loft. A little awkward to see if there was anything available up there. Overall super cute cafe, I’ll be back whenever I’m in the neighborhood.

overall: 4/5 pastry: 3.5/5 drinks: 3.75/5 ambiance: 4/5 service: 4/5 guilder is a quaint 2 story cafe with seating inside and outside. i came with my friend on a rainy weekend and the place was packed! all the tables inside were taken, so we opted to sit outside in the cold (thankful for the roof coverage). but i think when the weather gets warmer i will be coming here more often :). also, street parking only!!! thankfully spots in the neighborhood nearby were easy to find. i ordered their classic pill(?) iced coffee- this drink was not too sweet or bitter which i liked, and was a great drink to sip on while catching up with a friend. Guilder offers meals cooked to order as well, but we opted to try their pastries! both the cinnamon roll and the tomato onion scone were lovely and fresh- i wish we had the option to warm them up though. while chatting with my friend, i noticed many tables had people working on their laptops, reading a book, or just chatting! guilder is a lovely place to get things done while having a yummy pick me up. i can't wait to be back when the weather isn't so cold!

They had a good variety of Shoofly pastries on the morning I stopped by. I got a yummy muffin and scone. They had several Shoofly scone and muffin flavors, plus phillykakes and cinnamon rolls. I didn't get to try the coffee but look forward to going back for that. The people working there were really nice, and the place had a cute theme and ambiance.

This is my go to for a quick coffee and breakfast. Coffee is excellent and the breakfast burrito is delish. I also enjoy the breakfast bowl when I’m feeling the need for something more on the healthy side!
Guilder is one of the BEST cafes in Portland. All of the staff is so incredibly kind and friendly and the food is unmatched!!! We come here so often bc the food and coffee is some of the best. I love how they are located within powells as well as the Fremont location.
Breakfast sandy of the week! 6/69This gets a revered 9.2/10 mcmuffs! Twas double digits cost wise but you get a hefty yet tender sourdough. Comprised with soft, layered eggs that make me wanna use it as a beauty mask. Topped with a healthy amount of cheese, aoli, and avocado. Moooove over bacon, need not apply.Perhaps my favorite of my egg sandwich journey thus far. You Know it’s a grand mouth adventure when I DIDNT EVEN NEED HOT SAUCE though plenty was available.Gooosh. Gimme that egg pillow as I’m blush gushing over this one

A warm atmosphere with plenty of light. Enjoyed the breakfast burrito.

We walked in as 1st time customers on Dec the 10th 2023.When we were ready to order the barista on duty (dark red hair, green Christmas sweater) was probably the worst counter server i have ever experienced in my entire life. I am part of the hospitality industry with 15+ years of experience. When i asked about placing a vegan breakfast burrito order, he replied: I don't know about that because we are closing (we were there at 3 p.m they close at 5p.m) , followed by a rude statement: "We do not allow dogs" . Our little pet was inside his stroller.Then we stood there for about 5 min waiting for him to give us an update regarding if we can order or not, he didn't say anything just stood there. Terrible 1st experience as a customer that's been supporting local businesses and been working on this industry. Owners need to train their staff better or let them go.

Honestly one of the worst cappuccinos I've ever had. My friend had the lox bagel and said it tasted like apple cider vinegar.
