    Belgian Waffle, Breakfast Bagel Sandwich, cappuccino
    Devin R.

    This is a very cute and eclectic cafe - I love the unicorn theme! The staff is also very friendly and the service was fast. We had the Belgian waffle with Oregon berries which was nice and fluffy. The breakfast sandwich was good, although the steamed eggs were a bit too thick.

    I had an amazing bagel at this spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the friendly staff. They were so welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It's clear they take pride in both the food and the service. A fantastic way to kick off the morning, and I'll definitely be back! Highly recommend! Also look how cute my brother's latte design was??

    It is exactly that ~ a neighborhood coffee joint with just unicorns. Apparently Bob is a collector of sorts, so find random nicknacks in every crevice. Every crevice. Light bites for breakfast. Just a local spot for Albertans to wake up with a cup of coffee and chat the day away. Restroom just needs a remodel. No Bob sighting.

    This place's vibe is so chill and fun! It feels very Portland coffee shop without the hipster over priced coffee. The service is quick and friendly! They charge 4% on cards so cash is definitely recommended. I had a coconut milk latte and my partner had a vanilla almond milk latte and we both loved the flavors! Will be coming back

    Breakfast Bagel Sandwich

    An Alberta coffee shop with plenty of character! Just Bob is the cutest coffee shop with plenty of unicorn decor and even a playroom in the back corner for your children. They have awesome staff that greeted you as you came in. The place is order and then find a seat and I really enjoyed how they had a variety of seating for you to enjoy the place. Once you place your order they will call you for your drinks but will bring your food to your table. When you're done you clean your own table. As people left we saw the staff clean the table before another group sat down. As for what to get the drinks here are a must try! I thoroughly enjoyed their nutty mocha and chai. Perfect for a cold day since they come out piping hot and have fun latte art. For food I also tried the phylo wrap with the German sausage since you don't usually find that on a menu and it was pretty good. Came with a variety of mustards as well. I believe they are made to order so can be ~15 mins. I also tried the breakfast bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. I think they steam the egg here which was not your typical bagel. Solid toasted bagel that you might need to eat with a fork since some pieces might fall out as your eating it. As I was looking around the space they have art covering the walls as well and seem to have events here too!

    Serious Food Safety Violations going on here that have been reported to appropriate parties: My husband and I came in and ordered coffees and bagel sandwiches. We sat at the bar and watched our items (&others being made), we also had a view of the back kitchen area from our seats. Guy who took our order handled kiosk , made our coffees, then immediately went to a small cutting board, lined with items that should be refrigerated (eggs, cheese, dairy spreads) but obviously are left out permanently to make sandwiches all day and began making our bagels. No hand washing, no gloves. Note I also have a gluten and egg allergy so many things he did cross contaminate everything here be warned if you have allergies too. He touched everything with his naked hands, including in the back prep area. He then used the cutting board he was cutting bagels on to crack raw eggs into a glass (getting raw egg onto a surface premade/cooked food goes). He went to the espresso machine and used the milk steamer wand to cook the egg in the cup! Then wiped that wand with a used towel and placed a glass of water (I assume it's water) back under the steam wand like they use to clean in btw milk froths (so mixing the egg with the milky water solution to contaminate every other milk frothed beverage with egg the rest of the day!) Absolutely appalling to watch. The raw egg cutting board was never wiped or changed out. I also watched the man touch his clothing, face and a trash can in between making multiple orders-WITHOUT GLOVES. A female employee then came in, set her things done and jumped in to cut, and smear bagels. No gloves! No hand wash from when she entered the building to touching food. She was also seen in the back bared handed-handling produce and assembling food. So in the 40 mins we were there neither employee washed their hands once in between touching money, raw items, themselves, and on to cooked food items. If you go here get a coffee (without frothed milk) and nothing else. I took photos of his non-gloved hands touching food but was too shocked to get a photo of the egg-milk-frother-incident.

    I highly recommend. Great food, coffee, fun mix of music playing and friendly staff. Love the breakfast sandwiches with steamed egg on a fresh bagel. So many choices on Alberta but this is my go-to when visiting the area. Funky and fun eclectic space...or maybe Bob is just a collector of random things. Love the atmosphere, perfect place to enjoy a coffee while reading a book sitting in the puffy armchairs. Some outdoor seating to soak in the sun on those perfect sunny days and dog friendly with treats for your pup to enjoy.

    Iced decaf Americano

    I had an amazing iced decaf Americano, sitting outside on a lovely day. Inside seating includes comfy chairs as well as tables and chairs. (There is also a play area for kids while supervised by their parents.) Service is pleasant, and unhurried. The eclectic interior theme is primarily unicorns!

We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal.

Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The service was good, but it wasn't especially memorable or exceptional. Overall, I'd describe the experience as average. I wouldn't make a special trip across town or plan a vacation around eating here, but if you're already in the area, it's worth giving it a try. Everyone's taste is different, and you may end up enjoying it more than I did.

Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu. Did I mention the Foie Gras Dumplings? I never had anything like them in my life. That's a dish I would definitely travel back to Portland for.

The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.

    I've only been to the Lardo in PDX (is it still there?), so I felt like I needed to give the brick…read moreand mortar a chance because, let's face it, the one in PDX is meh. We walked down here on a beautiful day after wedding deletes shopping, so spirits were high. Located on a busy corner, but with plenty of outdoor seating, Lardo is a good place to have lunch on a Saturday. I have nothing to say about the parking sitch. My daughter and I shared the Willamette Reuben and her friend ordered the Italian Flag. We shared the Lardo fries. Oh man, the Reuben was perfection! The flavor of the meat and everything on the sandwich, from texture to flavor--chef's kiss! We heard that the Italian Flag was excellent too. Definitely, you can share a sandwich especially if you're having fries. The fries were delicious--crispy and flavorful on the outside, perfectly hot and mushy on the inside. Yum!
