My partner enjoyed his avocado toast. Aside from our experience yesterday, my sister and I have come here before. She had nothing but good things to say about her sweet potato bowl and tropical smoothie. I've tried their tropical and berry tropical smoothies and both were so yummy. The seating could be a hit-or-miss. It really depends on the time. It might be harder for a party of 2+ to find a table right away. Parking could also be a challenge. It's a busy neighborhood and there isn't a private lot or anything. The pricing of the food and a drink to pair could easily cost you $20+/person (without tip)! To me, it's worth it for the price. I get a comfortable full. But might not be totally worth it for others.

This is absolutely our favorite brunch in PDX. Hands-down. You've read my reviews, coast-to-coast,…read morethis one gets me every time. I can't gush more about such a fabulous little cafe! Caffe Destino was an accidental find, while house-shopping one weekend. We decided to stop in for a quick bite. Gosh, did we make the right decision. We're going on two-months of visiting Caffe Destino almost every single weekend. I look forward to it every week. Everything about this establishment is fabulous! First, you walk in to find a lovely walk-up counter with a menu just large enough to offer multiple options without being overwhelming. Second, the staff is always friendly and meets you with a smile. Thirdly, their food choices are fantastic, nothing we've ordered has been anything less than fabulous. Our usual choice are the Berry Bowl, Avocado Toast, and the Destino Special (my favorite!). My partner LOVES the Berry Bowl which has now become his #1 choice. He raves about it. The Destino Special is always perfectly done. Eggs cooked any way you like them, choice of meat, potatoes, and a bread option. Now, if I could, I'd do the bacon & cheddar biscuit with it every week (upcharge from the normal choices) but alas, it is HUGE! Nonetheless, the meal is fabulous, cooked to order, and served hot, without fail. Coffee is on-point for PDX, not overwhelming and piping hot every time. The ambiance is great, indoors and outdoors! Price is extremely fair and parking is always somewhere nearby. I cannot rave enough about this little gem hidden in the Alameda Neighborhood just behind the Whole Foods. Give it a try and thank me later!

I don't know what I could say about this place that does it justice…read more My wife, two year old son, and I were headed to another spot for brunch. I was a little disappointed because I really felt like diner food. We've passed by this place at least twice a week for the past three years. This time I asked about it while driving past, my wife looked it up and we decided to change our destination. My only disappointment was that we hadn't discovered it earlier. The service was incredible, Zoe behind the counter was incredibly nice and paid extra attention to our toddler, getting him talking and actually having a conversation. Zoe then walked us through the whole menu gauged our hunger levels and recommended accordingly. I got the biscuits and gravy, which came out steaming hot and quick. My wife got a hash that was equally as hot. Be aware this place does not shy away from portions! I was completely satisfied, and for the price I felt like I was robbing them! After eating here my wife and I couldn't stop talking about how great it was. We'll be back soon, probably Friday... I wish it wasn't Monday.

Drink: I got their iced Americano. I was asking about the acidity of the beans as I wanted something less 'sour.' In the end I got their Americano with a splash of cream and it was good! I was able to handle the acidity and enjoyed my coffee!

Would have been a bit more manageable if we had known before getting in line or had a buzzer (so we could have taken a walk and come back).

I ordered five stars for my pad kee mao and I don't think you can pick the spiciness of the soup. It took some time to receive the food but I don't mind, especially if the food was good. However, the food was just meh. It wasn't anything memorable really. I appreciated the wok fire taste from the pad kee mao but that was really it, it wasn't really that spicy and the flavors that I expected weren't there. The soup was also disappointing with no depth or flavor. The Thai iced tea was okay as well, again nothing to really make it memorable or worth grabbing again. The service was courteous and friendly. They also ensured that the food was packed securely so no spills and it traveled well to my boyfriend and I's hotel room.

The tea is good, it is a bit strong. It would definitely taste good with boba. A good treat!read more

The Server at the counter, informed me that "the kitchen" needed a break, so I would need to wait. There were three tickets on the counter. It would have been nice to be offered a beverage. After almost ten minutes standing there, I left. I'm guessing the owners don't care, there is no Manager, and they are under staffed. I'll tell everyone I can find about my experience. What is happening to the restaurant scene in Portland??

Great little breakfast spot in NE. Stopped in for breakfast today on a friend's recommendation and…read moreloved it. I got a breakfast burrito, which was the size of Kansas, and a large Café au Lait, also huge, and loved them both. The burrito was generously filled with eggs, beans, etc and the home fries were the perfect kind of crispy on the outside with just a little zing of spice. The folks at the counter were very friendly and the food and coffee came out amazingly quickly. A great experience and a great place to grab breakfast if you're in the neighborhood.

The very friendly and kind server made the experience better.

I will start off by saying the staff that was working and was looking for my food could not have been more obstinate and standoffish. I really did not enjoy the interaction with him at all. I will say that we ordered the basil fried rice which was fabulous. I added chicken. It was not chewy and weird like most places. Lots of seasoning. Definitely would get that again hands-down. My wife got the fried rice that had the peanut sauce. It was just middle of the road for me. And she got eggrolls and said they were great. I think we have ordered from here a few times in the past for delivery. And I would return. Price point is just like anything else nowadays.
