Right by Queens Boulevard, there isn't much shade and it's pretty loud there, but if you need to sit for a bit, it works.
Speedier service than most locations to which I have been, but rather emptier than I'd expect. I guess the locals prefer Martha's?
Craving a healthy beverage with a little sugar, I stopped in for a peanut butter protein shake, which fit the bill.
Rib eye tacos to go so you can eat them away from the heat of the kitchen or the outside seating that screws up the vibe here.
Great burgers and a fantastic space for friends or family to congregate. Head upstairs for more seating.
Order a selection of tacos in order to really appreciate the effort they put in and a cocktail or two since they clearly have a real bartender. It's quiet on Saturdays during brunch.
Make a point of visiting whenever I am here -- which is often. Go early for your pick of the machines.
Decent-sized rooms with a bar -- coffee and alcohol -- in the lobby, which is great for meetings.
Start with the clams casino and the freshly baked bread. Have the shrimp scampi or any of the pasta dishes. Save room for a delicious dessert.
Remarkably empty on a Saturday evening, it's convenient to just about every restaurant you'd ever want to go to in Portland.
The wait is long and there's nowhere to wait inside so be sure to come when it's warm or you can get coffee or drinks next door. Nothing on the menu is to be missed.
Amazing views from a rooftop bar that no one seems to know exists. Great for a birthday party or other special occasions.
Despite the opening of a Starbucks, the neighborhood where I grew up is far from trendy. Come for some off the beaten path places to eat and coffee at Dunkin' Donuts -- a Nathan's back in the 80s.
Arrive early to say hi to the regulars in the Welcome Center over coffee and stay for the contemporary service with a lively sermon from Pastor Matt.
Tiny doughnuts with a lot of flavor options are freshly made right in front of you. Get six for breakfast on your cheat day and wash them down with a cold brew, depending on the weather.
Always open when I need it, I head straight to the back to get my printing done. Don't forget that color is more expensive.
Working out of the WeWork by Bryant Park? Grab a New Orleans Cold Brew in the summer to avoid these wait.
