Order the Migas. Ya won’t regret it.
This place provides excellent, fresh-tasting dishes at more reasonable prices than some other brunch spots nearby. Service is always great. Staff are down to earth and friendly. Plus it’s nicely tucked away so it’s a bit quieter. Absolutely one of my favorite brunch spots in Portland.

Classic amazing little cafe with diner style booths and amazing vegan options like tofu scramble, vegan sausage, vegan French toast and solid coffee. Always a place I hit up when visiting PDX. Keep it going Juniors!

Absolutely the best vegan French Toast I’ve ever had! Our server, I forgot his name but he had glasses and a few tattoos, was amazing. Some of the best service I’ve had in Portland lol. I really loved how many great options the menu had for vegans and non-dairy eaters. It has the old school cafe vibes and I was able to get a table with no wait on a Saturday brunch—crazy. This place is slept on.

Juniors checked all our boxes. Both ordered scrambles with toast, vegan sausage and hashbrowns. I got the vegetarian Anto-Hero scramble, and my partner got the Migas. Everything cooked perfectly. I got a Baileys iced coffee and my partner got a drip coffee. Both were great!
We were placed on a wait but sat immediately (definitely would’ve been worth a wait). The environment is classic, homey & eclectic. Our server Larry gave some of the best service we’ve had during our trip to Portland. He was kind, efficient and hustling!! Made our experience quick but never rushed. When you drop by, ask for him.
We look forward to coming back by on our next trip up to PDX.
Food was well prepared, and sating.
Service left a lot to be desired. Server was inattentive, failed to offer beverages, was not prompt in dropping off check.
Atmosphere was homey, relaxed.

Okay we all know the food here is excellent. I mean I shouldn't be saying it but this is the hidden unpretentious Portland gem that's refused to hipsterify.
Patio is A+ now that Portland is less soggy.
The big rig burrito is excellent, the migas scramble with soyrizo will make you cry and the pancake is perfect, it's all good.
BUTTTTTTT what makes this place truly shine is a server named Larry or affectionately Laramie. He loves his job and it makes the food and whole experience so much more mmm. As a server myself this man is a master, something that dinners rarely experience in this increasingly jaded world. Sooo the food is excellent and the service is uplifting, if you're sensitive to it you will walk out with more hope in humanity.
whatever you do though, don't ask what his middle name is, he won't give that up.
Hashbrowns are to die for
One of my favorite places to relax, fuel up, and feel like family. I don't even live in Portland, but it's the first place I go when I fly into town! Great vegan options, fantastic coffee. I just wish I lived closer!
I live for finding these hole in the wall places that are off the radar and amazing! I got JR Cristo which was very tasty. Also probably some of the best cooked hash browns around. Just the right amount of crispiness!
Junior’s is my local neighborhood diner, and whenever I come in I feel like i’m in a small town. They know my name, they’re kind to me, they act like they’re happy to see me. It’s a genuinely beautiful spot. Give Larry some hell and you’re golden
