GREAT little cafe. Nice service, clean & cute tiny restaurant, & delicious food (the home fries are the best we've ever had).

Great food and attentive service. If you like it hot ask for the house made hot sauce. It's very good. They sell it by the bottle, we bought two! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning to grab a smoothie to-go! They've got a hug menu and looks like a great spot to eat in. Loved the strawberry banana smoothie (added protein). Tasted fresh! Way better than Jamba. They've also got a variety of fresh juices! Service was typical. read more

A quiet spot- stopped in Sunday morning about 9- we were the only ones in the place. I had an omelette with spinach, daughter had French toast, hubs had a ham and cheese omelette. The food was good- very few strands of spinach in my omelette, and portions were very small. I do not like the huge platters some places serve, but these portions were quite small. Service was good- as I said the place was small and we were the only ones there. So a mixed bag, good tasty food, small portions. Quiet atmosphere. read more

Would give this 5 stars but this was my first visit and I need to try more options. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. I will definitely be back. Great location, great staff, and great vibe. Make sure you give it a shot. read more

Compact, cozy but reliably good breakfast spot in Multnomah Village. They serve legit Stumptown coffee, and the servers are beyond helpful. Excellent selection of benedicts, scrambles and even salads and sandwiches, if you're looking for lunch. My Greek scramble was perfect with loads of spinach, feta and tomatoes. Ambiance is a bit dark, unless you score a table by the window, but a super friendly spot. Highly recommend. read more

Down to Earth Cafe - Outside view - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This cafe in Multnomah Village seems to be owned/run by a Persian family. We visited on a Sunday morning. They have Stumptown coffee so the coffee is solid. Our waitress was on point! She remembered customers and their coffee preferences. That's so rare nowadays. I had a very delicious eggs benedict and asked for my hollandaise on the side because I've encountered more hollandaises that I haven't like than ones I have, but this one was very good! I used it all. We'll have to come back but later in the day so I can order one of the specials. On the particular day we visited there was a special with I wished it wasn't so early so I could have ordered one of the specials with tahdig rice and shirazi salad yum! read more

I think I made a mistake ordering the Caprese panini instead of breakfast which seems to be their specialty. The mozzarella was so thin that it provided no flavor. The basil pesto was overpowering, and I found no evidence of any fresh basil on the sandwich. For what I received, it was incredibly expensive. A very disappointing experience. read more

I've had a previously positive experience so came back a second time. This trip was fast, latte's and avocado toast for 2. $35 after tip I was served my latte in a teacup, I don't need a big gulp size, but this was too petite for me. My toast was so underwhelming. The avocado is a spread, Disappointed. Tomato's on top was extra? No lime or salt or something tasty. No garnish to balance the lonely single slice of bread on the dinner size plate. What they did add without labeling on the menu or warning during placing my order is an egg wash on all the breads. Gluten free and regular bread both had it. *Most disappointing was its only 1 slice of bread cut 3/8" thick. This underwhelming experience will prevent me from going back. read more

Mid food, not as many vegan options as were advertised, didn't get silverware or napkins til I asked...I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but maybe try this place if it's within walking distance. read more

Beautiful dishes, DELICIOUS PANCAKES! I got the Eggplant Polenta Benedict and it was really good and my kiddo got the pancakes and loved them. The smoothie was also delicious. The staff went out of their way for us and you can tell they love and respect their locals. read more

And here we were again yesterday! This time we sat near the back, and I mixed it up by ordering a tasty (but not too filling) waffle. My Son enjoyed his Omelet dish and over a big glass of OJ. Down to Earth is just that. read more

For a Sunday brunch I was so surprised this cozy spot was almost nearly empty. Upon first arrival the full staff was nice and the food was delicious . Make sure to grab a smoothie to really get that nice juice of nutrients that you maybe missing. They had a special of crab cakes and let me tell you it was perfect of savory and such with the hollandoise sauce. The plates were perfect amount Me and partner can't wait to come back for the food. read more

Down to Earth Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have been wanting to give this place a try for a while and finally stopped in for a Sunday brunch. We were seated right away which was great! It was not too busy around 11:30am. Food: 1. Northwest scramble-7/10 the food came out within 5-8 mins which was extremely fast and I liked that. The portion size was perfect for me but might be a little small for someone else or if you are really hungry. The food was hot, fresh and had a good taste (I mean it is a fairly simply meal so pretty hard to mess it up, IMO). 2. Mimosa- nothing too special here 3. Latte- same, nothing stood out about it, average latte Overall 7/10, I would say the service and food was above average. Nothing stood out to me, good or bad, for me it was as just another brunch place in town and somewhere new to try. I will note that the menu is expansive and I would consider returning to have lunch at some point. Also one last note, the restaurant is very small in size and the tables are quiet close together so if you do not like being close to other customers then this isn't the place for you. read more

Food was amazing!!!! We had a "pepperoni" pizza and "salami" sandwich. Both were good size and tasted great!!!

Really liked this place for brunch! Eggs benny and hollandaise were well made and home fries were tasty! Their house made hot sauce was also quite good! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick-ish sit-down breakfast/brunch/lunch! read more

Disappointed in the quality of the bacon egg and cheese sandwich we received . 0 flavor and very small for 11$. Kitchen looks greasy and dirty . The lady cashier was very nice ! read more

Unfortunately never never never NEVER again! Our first and last time eating here. Service: A very unprofessional representation by the wait staff but primarily our waitress who was very busy, and way in over her head. Initially felt bad for her however, mistakes that were made, and she made plenty, were everyone elses fault. She also made a point of standing over us to make sure we gave her a tip. Made us very uncomfortable! Definitely an attitude that the world owed her! Food: Food had good presentation and was good. read more

I have always loved this place and will continue to. Great service and an amazing menu. Love this hidden gem.:)

First time I went there because the name was catchy and also because there was no parking in front of Marco's. The place has got a good vibe, paintings hang on the wall, one of them is Van Gog'h's long table. Colours match what Van Gogh usually paints. The seating is comfortable.The hosts are really friendly and make u feel at home.I go there to have a quiet time. Nearby Lot C of the Multonomah's Arts place provides ample parking space. It's great place for what one might call a comfort food. Tastes good, there are lot of options. I usually leave this place satisfied that I didn't have wait long for a quality service. Def worth a visit. read more

Little cafe located in the heart of Multnomah Village. The cafe was clean and we were promptly seated. Staff was friendly, but I bit disorganized. Food was ok, it reminded me of a diner, quality was not the greatest. Both myself and my friend's orders were messed up, and mine was never fixed. The food was fairly cheap, so go if you are on a budget. read more

The specials were very delicious!!! Make sure you take a look at the board to view the specials and the ingredients on them. Everything was made perfectly! Thank you Chief . Great space, not crowded in the mornings, but busy (3 clients out of 5 table spots inside). And three staff working to fill coffees, and get orders, etc. Very quick service. read more

Very cute spot! Food and staff are lovely. Seating can be a bit tight and the prior owner must have been really tall because the counters are at least five feet high! Too bad I ordered the special without asking the man to repeat it. It was good but I would have preferred no bacon on my artichoke benedict. read more

Best breakfast burrito I had in a while! Kind staff and great prices. It is small inside but cozy and cute.

Our server was extremely rude. I ordered, along with the rest of our party, but when 92 year old grandma ordered, she wanted an item on the kids menu because she can't eat much and didn't want the food to go to waste. The waiter said "mmm no that is for children, not the elderly folk." Everyone at the table looked at each other because we could not believe the tone of the waiter.. she then tried to order just one egg and French toast. She asked what the price was and the waiter made a "quirky" comment about some shelter around the corner if she's struggling with money. I don't know what my grandmother did to offend you, but ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Why are you so fucking rude to people for no reason???? When I called you out for being rude, you snatched the menu out of EVERYONE AT THE TABLES hands. I will NEVER eat here again. How dare her. Just for that, I didn't tip. Go fuck yourself. Maybe find a job that doesn't involve customer service if you're going to act like that towards others. She had light brown hair, some small tattoos that I noticed on her left arm. We overheard her being rude to the table next to us. read more

Maybe the best scramble I have ever had (cowboy? without the avocado). Lots of tasty filling! A few nice spots outside. Toast was one slice cut in two with packets of jam. OJ tasted like frozen or not from concentrate which I expected compared to other "pressed" juices prices. But it had an off taste that frozen gets about a day, or not from concentrate in about a week or two. Potatoes were soft, odd yellow color but tasted ok, I ate about 1/2 of them. Service was good. read more

Down to Earth Café is out of this world... so good! I was very upset it was Sunday afternoon and I still hadn't gotten to brunch (about 2pm) when Down to Earth Café was suggested based off Yelp searching benedicts. When I got there we were greeted instantly I wonder if it's a family business based off dynamics of employees. Our server was attentive and got our (somewhat complicated) order correct, he was soft spoken. This place is very interesting inside it is an intimate setting, tables close by to each other there is a coffee bar that takes up most space. We sat a table away from the front window, the partitioned coffee bar creating a little nook, it was comfortable - but we ordered a few plates for the table was a bit small, our fault. The food was amazing!! Both myself and person I went with have book marked "DTE" (down to Earth) and would like to return. We ordered avocado eggs benedict, he ordered the bacon benedict and we shared the waffle with fruit. I added cheese to my home fries, like I said everything was amazing and came out as ordered. I really enjoyed our visit and am looking forward to visiting again. read more

The food gets 5 stars in the Italian Eggs Benedict ($20) and 0 stars for the Steak Burrito ($15). Someone had illusions when they marked that steak price to $15. It was dry, had little to no steak, and pretty tasteless. The coffee gets 3 stars. We lucked out because we got a window seat. Our specific ambiance was 5 stars but overall average for the restaurant would be closer to 3.5. The service was ok, above average. So, there you have it. 3.5 stars, with one dish very out of whack and prices too high for what is offered that it deserves a little more penalty. read more

Service was great but the vegetarian food was extremely subpar. We were really disappointed with our meals. The juices were made fresh and those were lovely. Wouldn't go back though. read more

We came here for an early Sunday brunch (around 10am), and were seated immediately, and had water and coffee within minutes. All of the staff were kind and welcoming. All four of us ordered one of their Benedict's, and they did not disappoint!! We especially loved the avocado Benedict, and their special gluten free Benedict (served on a bed of greens). The service was quite slow towards the end, which is the only reason I gave four stars instead of five. read more

Best breakfast in the area. Great food with friendly service all at a reasonable price. The Italian Eggs Benedict is fantastic and breakfast burrito is delicious. Restaurant is clean and usually play international/Latin music quietly in the background, just right for breakfast or lunch setting Breakfast Burrito- stuffed with scrambled eggs, potatoes, green peppers in a large flour tortilla- delicious. read more

I wanna give 5 stars but the portions are really small for the prices. Like I was still hungry afterwards. :( BUT. everything else was good. Cute little place with friendly service, I loved that all the staff was willing to help one another and were trying their best to run smoothly when it was very busy. And the food was delicious ! I had the salmon benedict. Super yummy. And we got gluten free French toast as well also super good !! And part of me can't be mad about the portions cause of this economy and it seems family owned so I get it.... Would go back cause everything I had was very delicious. read more

Down to Earth Cafe - Salmon Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love a good Eggs Benedict, and this place poaches those eggs very well! The presentation is as top notch as the attentive and fast service. And just so you don't get bored, they have rotating specials of different types of benedicts like prosciutto and crab (sold separately). The potatoes are consistently under-seasoned, but otherwise pleasant. A little salt or ketchup helps, but it's a blemish on what would otherwise be perfectly cooked potatoes. Breakfast is definitely their specialty and they're open every day for breakfast, but if you want to come here for dinner, check the hours because they're only open at night a few days out of the week. It's also a bit cozy inside, so you'll want to keep the groups small. Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambiance: 4 Value: 3 TL;DR: The place to go for breakfast and Eggs Benedict! read more
