The Hostel Cafe isn’t just a place to rest, eat food and drink yummy coffee but It’s a place that actually helps the community. They helped me during a time that I really needed help and the owner is a wonderful woman. I feel like everybody should come and just support this place even if it’s just because they’re great people.Their location is near pretty much all the good attractions in this area. They have bands play behind the café in the back, have an outdoor area you can sit, they do events around the neighborhood and walks as well to tour the neighborhood.Come and visit! You’ll love it! Thank you for everything, I’m forever grateful.

We went to a film festival at Mission Theater down the street and are so happy we came here for dinner. Highly recommend the breakfast burger and Mac & Cheese. So good!

I have been here several times over the years, it's a simple local spot. I enjoy their burgers, hand-cut fries, and classic breakfasts. They have good gluten free buns and other gf options as well. Sometimes it can be hit or miss but it has been good recently. The prices are a bit high but I think everything is organic. I did not like their coffee in the past but have not tried it in some time.

Great cafe. FYI: for musicians interested in the open mics here: you get to play one song only.

i went to this cafe daily over a week and there was a barista i haven’t seen in the morning and i was making small talk about the cat in the secret garden, she told me how she wanted to keep it and i said jokingly that i would beat her to it. later that day i asked her if she seen the cat and she ignored me which is okay, but i was told i was being a problem for making small talk by the manager.

Absurdly good for, totally didn't expect how delicious everything is.
Decided to try a new place for breakfast and the Hostel Cafe was a short walk from our Airbnb.
My partner and I both ordered the French Toast served with two pieces of a very dense break fried crispy and topped with butter and maple syrup on the side. The dish also contained some strawberries, blue berries and banana pieces.
Very good French Toast and the service counter is very helpful.

$18 for a “lettuce wrapped” BLT and fries just to get food poisoning. Don’t recommend.

As someone who isn't thrilled about going to a bar, but still wants to communal spirit and watch Timbers games with others, I appreciate Hostel Cafe's watch parties. Food is good and I enjoy the indoor/outdoor seating.

This might be my new favorite biscuits and gravy spot in Portland! The venue is small, but cozy, the staff are friendly-though busy- and the food is phenomenal. However, the prices are a little high. Breakfast for two was about $50.00 which seemed steep for a hostel or cafe. Still, probably will come back in the future.
