    Butter croissant
    siri g.

    I stopped by this café before visiting Powell's Books, which is just a short walk away, to grab a coffee and a quick bite. The place was busy and had a lively atmosphere. I ordered a latte and a butter croissant, and both came out pretty quickly. The service was efficient, even with how busy they were.There are a handful of tables inside, and it definitely seemed like a popular spot for people studying and working. I ended up sitting at the bar where my coffee was served, and I couldn't help but notice how nice the bar setup looked.It's a great place to grab a coffee, get some work done, or fuel up before spending a few hours browsing Powell's.

    Usually not a huge fan of matcha of any kind, but the matcha lemonade here was amazing.

    Wonderful service at this coffee shop. The barista helped us and went through a little of the menu with us. Relatively traditional brew options, which I love instead of all the add-ins/customized drinks that are everywhere. Ordered 2 cortados with oat milk. The espresso has very good flavor and the oat milk made it rich. Would be a good place to work or study.

    COLD BREW - $5.25 (free chocolate!)

    WHEN: Fri @1:30pm Wanted somewhere to work for a bit and this spot has all the basic necessities: seatings, outlets, beverages, pastries, and some savory foods. No wifi but they open late everyday (6pm). They even serve affogato! But all I had was: COLD BREW - $5.25 Served in a tall glass and comes with a cute little chocolate piece! I'm no coffee person, I just needed to buy something since I was hanging out here. It's not a fancy or well decorated cafe, but it was a convenient spot that has seating available but indoors and outdoors. Not too shabby!

    Ideal for a laid-back and relaxing coffee date. Service is Ok. I came here for an affogato apparently they no longer serve it.

    One of my favorite coffee shops. Good coffee friendly service. The logo is nice shows a touch of Italy. I remember speaking with Rafael many years back. This is his creation as I remember. Great place in the Pearl. Nice windows to watch the rain. Each coffee comes with a piece of chocolate. Nice treats in the case and some lunch items. Today a jewelry stand someone was selling their wares. I had an americano. Nice a bit nutty flavor, crisp and clean. I was given a number and they bring your order to your table. Nice touch. Nice attention to detail, presentation of your order. Good mix of clients working on their laptops or meeting with friends. A couple of doors so you will see people come from different sides which adds to the flow and decor. I brought my laptop...creating the review here this evening. Oh no a downpour outside and I parked a couple of blocks away. I will stay a bit longer and wait for a break in the rain.

    I love this cafe I go to school right around the corner and it's most of the students go to cafe. I really like the staff they are always so friendly, patient and helpful. The cookies are amazing.

    Absolutely fantastic. Came in from out of town and wanted a true Portland coffeehouse experience. Unfortunately, the ones we found, and walked into were nothing special at all. We walked up and down Pearl district, Alphabet District, and a few other areas just to find a yummy café. One of them was completely dirty, I was not going to have my coffee there at all. Another one, the steamer was broken and they were only serving iced drinks, the third one noted pastries and food on Yelp, yet there was only two items in the case, (and we came in the morning). All that to say, we were getting some coffee Hangry on and looked again at Yelp and found this gem. My Cardamom Rose mocha was full of flavor, delicious and hot, served right away, even though they were very busy. We ordered some goodies as well and they were delicious. Everyone in there was kind and went out of their way to show support to their patrons. Who I imagine was the owner, went up to every table and everyone in line to greet them and smile at them. This is what an elevated Portland café should be about! Not about how grungy it is and all the different flavors of mushrooms that they serve with a bad attitude. Trust me, you can find that on every corner! When we are back in town, we will definitely go out of our way to visit this amazing spot!

    Stop by during a coffee crawl in Portland! Inside it's a really nice little spot to enjoy coffee, chat with friends or do work! I love how big and open the coffee bar was so you watch them make coffee! Everyone was super friendly and helpful! I got the honey oat latte and it was delicious! If you like coffee and for it to be sweet definitely try it! I really enjoyed how it wasn't overly sweet and overwhelming.

    Great coffee shop for a quality brew! I love that they give you little chocolates with your drink. Just so you know, the espresso spritz was tasty, but just a bit too sweet for my taste.

    Espresso and coffee makes the day for lots of peeps in The Pearl District. This is a bustling coffee shop to hang out inside or outside sidewallk table in the shade of trees. Cool vibe. I am really enjoying my cappuccino with a complementary chocolate. Also, serving up a spot of tea, cold drinks, yummy pastries and some sandwiches.

    Very nice coffee shop they will bring your coffee out to you. I had the cappuccino which was really smooth. No fancy latte art however very delicious. Just what I needed to get my morning started. Oh and as a plus you have a little chocolate on the side, just like the cherry on top.

I brought two special guests this time, and they too fell instantly in love! This restaurant had a great vibe. It was very busy. The line moved smoothly though. Staff were friendly, and seats comfy... Ordered the meatballs, because it is a MUST HAVE!!! My girls don't even like meatballs, and they got up in the middle of night to eat the cold leftovers! What does that tell you! The Fusilli Alla Vodka was incredible last time, and it was even better at this location it seemed like. Highly unlikely... I think I was just so thrilled to have it again!!! Tried the Pork Belly Mac & Cheese for the first time. It blew our minds!!! Whoever came up with that sauce... and the idea to add pork belly to it... topped with the PERFECT type of pasta... is a culinary GENIUS I tell you! L*O*V*E Just like the other location, this did not disappoint. Absolutely had a fun time, and the food was amazing all the way... grazie mille!

Who is very friendly and paid us a visit during our recent and superb happy hour outing. I needed a place within walking distance from my place and also needed something vegan friendly for my friend Nadia. She ordered the magherita pizza without cheese. Aria ordered the gnocchi. I went with the mozerella stuffed ravioli. Portions were generous. Everyone but me was able to finish theirs. I just couldn't manage to eat the last one. The bartender, God bless her, whipped up a spirit forward absinthe cocktail for me that just rocked. There is a long bar and several cozy booths. The verdict: Gilda's is a top notch happy hour spot.

It came with an assortment of breads from the bread basket, and every bite was delicious.For our mains, my husband ordered the duck entrée while I went with the seafood dish. Both were fantastic--an easy 5/5 for the food. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive, friendly, and somehow managed to appear exactly when we needed her without ever hovering.

    If I love you, really love you, I have taken you to Piazza Italia…read more Let me explain: this is real deal Italian. I've been to southern Italy (Amalfi Coast) and the authenticity shines through. Piazza's menu is northern Italian and traditional the Italian American marriage we all know and love. It's what Olive Garden promises: to treat you like an Italian family member. When you walk in most of the employees snipe at each other in Italian. Cured meats hang from the ceiling and soccer plays in the background. That's like every actual Italian restaurant I've been to. Their wine list is simple and ultimately not that impressive. It's there to accentuate the food. They have a solid spritz. Whether you choose a dish with fresh pasta or dried (they serve both, depending on the dish) it'll be prepared beautifully. I've been coming here for years and I've tried nearly every one on the menu. Last night I even shook it up and got it delivered: the quality still held.
