If you want to make absolutely sure you're starving before breakfast, this is the place for you…read more We ended up waiting a little over two hours for a table because the quoted wait time kept creeping up in increments, and at some point we were too invested in the process to turn back and try somewhere else. The good news? The setting is beautiful. Since we had so much time on our hands, we got to wander the farm multiple times and really take in the scenery. There's also a coffee shop where you can grab pastries and drinks while you wait, which definitely helped. We all got coffees and did our best to stay patient. By the time we were finally seated, we were beyond hungry. Three of us ordered the same Eggs Benedict, my husband got the two-egg sandwich, and we added a waffle for the table. Unfortunately, the food took its sweet time arriving too. Honestly, I don't think the food was worth a two-hour wait. The potatoes were under-seasoned, the eggs weren't cooked properly, and overall everything just felt a little off. At that point we were all too hungry and slightly too cranky to complain, so we quietly ate and focused on making our exit. The waffles were probably the highlight and seemed to be the one thing everyone enjoyed. As for the rest, the quality didn't match the price tag. It's going to be a very long time before I come back. I could see myself stopping by for a coffee and maybe a pastry, but breakfast? Probably not.

First off, I'm a pretty picky eater. ESPECIALLY when it comes to a quality omelette. Family Cafe…read moretotally blew me away with their omelette (no mushrooms or meat, add potatoes)!! The egg was cooked perfectly and each ingredient complimented the next in a great texture with the egg cooked perfectly. We ate outside with a high chair and it was great. I got the tea while my husband got coffee and we both loved it. The cups are super nice and they're awesome about keeping the tea refilled. With our drinks, we also shared the halawa and it was fantastic. The small sized halawa was perfect for 2 people. The tea and coffee came with sugar as well which was nice, just a great experience. The cost of the meal was also fantastic for what you get. It was totally worth every penny. I recommend you check this spot out, even if you're picky like me!

We came on a Thursday morning right at opening (9am) and were able to snag a table inside for our group. The space is small inside but they do have a few outside tables too which is nice to enjoy in the summer time. Parking is standard street parking right on Broadway. We started out with Turkish coffees and Iraqi Tea. The presentation was beautiful and the complex flavors were so nice to wake our taste buds. We ordered the Beef Mix, Lamb and Eggs, Pastry #2 (hot dog, mushroom, cheese), baclava, and their special halawa to try. They were cooking right by the counter so the whole space filled with delicious aromas while we were waiting for our food. We all had full bellies between 3 adults and 2 kids and took home leftovers! You MUST get the Beef Mix! I don't even know how to describe how delicious this dish is to give it justice but it was definitely the group favorite. It came with salad and yummy boat shaped bread to scoop up all the flavorful goodness. Their house hot sauce took it to the next level. The baklava was the perfect amount of sweetness with the coffee and tea. It was our first time trying a halawa and we all loved the dense texture with a sweet taste. Please do your taste buds a favor and come support this local business!!

There is a lot of tables, so make sure you bring all your family and friends! The ambiance felt very warm and cozy! Cute decor and everything was well kept and clean. We decided to go with the chicken fried steak & the seasonal special, French dip! These two dishes were so good!! It was our first time here and was really amazed by the food. The gravy was really good & the French dip was 10/10!! I would recommend if they still have it. I also love that they have a senior section in their menu. I worked on a project years ago on having more restaurants create senior sections in their menus to bring more of our seniors out so that they can also enjoy these restaurants, so the fact that they had it already made me happy. Service was amazing! The workers were very nice and attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast / brunch!

It was a warm day and the staff immediately brought her out a bowl of water, which was a thoughtful gesture and shows the level of service they offer to their patrons. Our server, I believe her name was Casey, was lovely. She was friendly and seemed to know a lot of the regulars by name which gave the restaurant a welcoming feel. I ordered the Danish pancakes (Æbleskiver), and they were absolutely delicious. They came with house-made lemon curd and lingonberry jam, and both were incredible. The lemon curd was rich and creamy with just the right amount of tartness, while the lingonberry jam added a sweet-tart flavor that paired perfectly with the fluffy pancakes. Four of them were more than enough to fill me up. My husband ordered the Pytt i Panna, a traditional Swedish hash made with crispy potatoes, bell peppers, and onions, topped with two soft-baked eggs and served with pickled beets and Nordic rye toast. It was hearty, comforting, and full of flavor. The pickled beets were a nice contrast to the savory hash, and everything on the plate was scrumptious! Between the delicious food, welcoming service, and dog-friendly patio, we had a very nice time and it was a good send-off before our walk through the woods to find Ole Bolle. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

A fantastic place to start the day. We came early for the Old Bolle Troll (can visit anytime during…read moredaylight hours) and then came back Broder Soder for brunch at 8AM (Saturday) - no wait upon opening despite having a group of 6. We started with the cardamom latte (rich and nutty) and the matcha marzipan (sweet and with enough aromatic almond flavor) and then proceeded to feast. We started with the Danish pancake donuts- lovely in that they were both savory and sweet, comes with lemon curd and jam. The lefse breakfast was really interesting - a layered thicker 'crepe' with cheese and egg. The fish plate was our family favorite - an epic collection of shrimp, mini shrimps, gravlax, pickled herring (our favorite) various breads, crackers and sauces. Very well presented, fun to eat, and enough to share. We also ordered the Swedish meatballs - rich hearty but small and few (5 total). Luckily, we had plenty of other food and this dish was great with sherry mushroom sauce and a delicious potato latke-like side. Our server was also incredibly personable, friendly, and helpful in our food choices which we always appreciate.

The suburbs are a rough, unforgiving landscape for coffee shops…read more At best, you'll have strip-mall stands, parking-lot carts or mini chains that pour a serviceable menu of second-wave offerings and, if you're lucky, won't try to rope you into Sunday services at the church they're fronting for. At worst, you have places dispensing sugar-laden trucker fuel to customers as quickly as possible and doing as little as they can to keep people hanging around or foster community. To look at The Coffee Shop from the spaghetti bowl of streets surrounding it in Raleigh Hills, you'd get the sense that it could be either of the above. It's at the end of a strip mall, it's along busy roads, and it's put enough thought into the branding that something has to be up, right? As it turns out, no. The Coffee Shop may be clinging to the westernmost point of Portland and may serve as its gateway to the suburbs, but understands its role within its community as well as shops in the denser neighborhoods over the bridges and beyond the tunnels. I only started going here roughly two years ago, but it's become a staple for meeting people in the neighborhood and conducting lengthier conversations. The Coffee Shop is an expansive space that has a modest dining area near its front counter, but effectively a community living room in the back and a sidewalk terrace out front that's workable for about four months out of the year. Each time I've walked in, the tables are consistently buzzing with people swapping ideas, exchanging stories, and occasionally getting some work done. As with the better shops in town, The Coffee Shop relies on counter service and asks you to order and pick up as needed. There are no wait staff checking in, no bussers clearing tables, and no interruptions to the rhythm of your day. It's a functional third space that just happens to have breakfast items (which I haven't tried yet), an array of baked goods (I never pass up an oatmeal cookie) and a full menu of casual espresso drinks (not great for pourovers or sampling a variety of sourced roasts, but an easy cortado, Americano, Red Eye or latte. And when coffee is the secondary item and you're hitting the first 60-degree days on the calendar, a cardamom-and-honey Cardi B or chocolate-and-cinnamon Mr. Olingo serves as a welcome treat. The Coffee Shop is on Portland's car-driven outskirts, but is in one of the last segments in which people are encouraged to stay a while. It's flanked by Jan's Bookstore, spas, nail salons, yoga studios, Sesame Donuts, and the area's one true diner. It occupies a much-needed space within its far corner of Portland and displays remarkable urban sensibility in an area where it could've simply gone with the flow of suburban traffic. The Coffee Shop isn't your last hope for a cup of coffee before reaching the 'burbs, but it's one of the few true coffee shops this far beyond the tunnels.

I would suggest that they plan to make more of these proactively so that there's not a demand letdown later in the day -prices are slightly higher than average for the market. I'm not sure that there's a reasonable solution for this, but it prevents me from coming as often as I would like This is not a French restaurant. It's a restaurant with a French theme. With that in mind, the service and flavor will keep me coming back. The fact that there isn't usually a long wait to be seated at peak times is the real selling point for me.

Bakery of fresh baked goods right at the front Piper was our server according to the receipt. She did the basic take our drink order, then brunch order. Runner brought our food and she checked on us about 15 minutes after we've been eating, asked if we wanted a refill on one of the drinks. Then came at the end and asked if we were ready for a check. Didn't upsell anything. She didnt do bad, just did her job and nothing extra, but I still tipped 20%. I came for the tiramisu french toast. $1 add on for caramelized bananas. It DID NOT disappoint. This was good. Not too sweet. Its one huge slab of a loaf. Good portion that I couldnt finish because I was too busy snacking from my daughter plate. Corned beef hash plate.. reel corned beef, cooked perfectly with just enough crispy ends and tasty goodness. Perfectly fried potato hash browns. Sour creme and sunny side up eggs with onions and bell peppers. Soo good! The chef omelette was a good size too. 3 eggs. Avocado wedge on top. My husband stry8ng to eat healthier, so this was great. Good amount of cheese as well. He mopped it up real quick Tatin apple crepes. The young teen had these and shes picky. She said it was okay. I tried it and it was great. Not too sweet. If you like apple anything, this is definitely a need to try. Mimosa flight... 4 drinks. You can choose from a variety of choices. I tried the following: mango, strawberry, guava, and passion fruit. They were more champagne than the fruit infusion. So of the 4, the strawberry had the most flavor but could use more flavor to it. The other 3 needed more fruit flavor according to my taste buds, maybe there was just more champagne instead, so im good with that too, haha. Overall a good experience and will come back again to try some other items and maybe go home with something from the bakery too (the croissant as a side came to the table and it was huge, flakes and moist! Oh! The orange juice was really good. Tasted like it was fresh squeezed!
