This place has done it again! Friendly service, delicious food, relaxed, homey atmosphere. I tried the Devon's Dip, which is their take on a french dip. Rich, toasty, gooey, umami, all melded into a wonderful sandwich! Highly recommended! I wish I lived closer to this place. read more

LJ's Cafe - Their special dip sandwich and creamy tomato soup. Really good! - Cafes Near Me - Milwaukie, Oregon

I am giving this business a two star rating because the wrap I had was quite good (although overpriced). The woman that was working the register was unfriendly. She seemed somewhat irritated by the fact that I was asking roughly how long it would take for my wrap to be made, and responded with, "I don't know." I was not even attempting to rush them. Rather, I was asking because I was trying to determine if I was going to wait or come back. She answered my question upon my second request for the information. Then, when my wrap was ready she walked over to the table I was sitting at and stated, "Here's that wrap," and proceeded to toss the wrap onto the table. When I said, "Thank you, very much," she was already half way back to the register and said nothing. Pretty rude and most likely will not be returning. read more

I loved this place and will definitely go back. They actually have gluten free options available and understood the difference between Celiac and gluten allergy. Food and coffee selections were great - read more

What a cute cafe! The atmosphere was welcoming, the employees were friendly and the food was good. I got the avocado toast on sourdough with an egg and it was tasty. read more

Expectations were high seeing all the reviews. However, the place was average at best. This goes for the ambiance to the food. We ordered a salad and a ham sandwich. The sandwich was plain on white bread. The salad was made beforehand and bland. Average food for slightly higher prices. read more

LJ's cafe is on my route once a week, and I am continually being blown away by the atmosphere food and coffee. Love it!

If you want a cute, cozy atmosphere DO NOT come here. This place looks very American, old style cafeteria. The food and coffee were ok. But definitely not coming back. My food was served on a plastic tray, not even a real plate.. if you're not a picky person where to eat, this place is okay to come. But if you've been in a European style coffee shops, then you'll be very disappointed and will want to leave asap lol. Places like this remind me that America feels like a third world country read more

So we've eaten here about 10 times now. Been getting their delicious soups, especially the Clam Chowder, and Devins dip. My husband loves the dip or the club sandwich and he always gets a side salad, it's very good/fresh and more than just lettuce and croutons. So I stepped outside the box and got the Spicey Italian Flatbread and it was so good! Spicey, cheesy gooey, salty and just the right amount of toppings. I'm very impressed with the employees. I didn't see the owner yesterday but they worked hard and were so friendly anyways. We love this place and look forward to going back soon! You must give them a try. read more

LJ's Cafe - Devans dip, grilled turkey sandwich and a vegetarian southwest soup - Cafes Near Me - Milwaukie, Oregon

Great food, great people, fantastic attention/responsiveness to allergy issues, I have nothing but praise! Casual, friendly atmosphere - great place to meet a friend for coffee/pastries/lunch. OH - did I mention they have the BEST COFFEE ever? Also, I work at Bob's Red Mill and LJ's did the GF boxed lunches for a recent company event. All I can say is they made the best GF boxed lunch I have EVER had. There was no dry, cracking bread - everything was delicious!! If I ever do a catered event, I will do it at LJ's for sure!! read more

It's not actually a restaurant. Sweet people working there, but y'all need to know it's connected to a hospital, and it's (ironically) NOT handicap friendly. read more

The food was amazing. The prices are fair. The service is wonderful. Her mom works there and makes cookies for everybody that comes in. They have a cookbook that is sitting by the couches so you can read the old family recipes and enjoy the atmosphere while you're there. Maybe even have a nice latte. They have very nice seating. read more

The food & coffee were amazing. The cafe is pretty big and has a lot of tables really open and clean atmosphere. The staff were all really nice too. I had a breakfast sandwich and a special shaken iced espresso. My hubby had the London Fog muffin and would definitely recommend it to you Also don't forget the hours M - F 7am - 3pm read more

We go here for coffee pretty regularly after how amazing it was the first time we came. The food and baked goods were also great.

Service was great and the food was also great! It was pretty quiet but it was 1:30pm.

The sandwich was delicious and the customer service was exceptional. I also very much enjoyed the space.

First time here. Service was friendly and the coffee (salted caramel latte) is delicious. Plenty of seating and free WiFi. It does have a bit of a hospital cafeteria vide to it but not surprising given it's attached to a business park. I already had lunch so didn't try any food this time. read more

Great breakfast bagel! Generous with the meat (ham at least) and very reasonably priced at $7.

The vast variety of food was awesome and the salads and sandwiches were delicious! This was a great place for a quick lunch as the service was quick and excellent. The dining area is spacious and welcoming! The sugar free vanilla latte was delicious! My grandkids loved the variety of cookies and brownies I took them for a pre-baseball game snack! I highly recommend LJs!! read more

LJ's Cafe - Savory toast - add red onion! - Cafes Near Me - Milwaukie, Oregon

Tried LJ's for the first time last Monday and it was delicious. Snuck over here while the kiddo was in school for a day date with my husband. Arrived at 11:30 to avoid the lunch rush. He ordered the turkey pesto melt and I had the Devon's French dip and we loved them both. Both sandwiches came out hot and fresh. I have been daydreaming about my French dip sandwich since I ate it. Good meat, hot au jus, and horseradish on the side if you like it spicy. Great portion size. Super clean dining area and friendly staff. Reserved parking just for the cafe in the shared business lot. We will be back to eat here again. read more

This place is SO DELICIOUS!!! You want a soup? They have amazing alternating daily soups that ensure no matter what day you come in, you won't be disappointed! (My personal favorite is the chicken gnocchi!) They have scrumptious hot and cold sandwiches--breakfast and lunch--big salads, wraps, snacks, soda, coffee and a cozy place to enjoy it all!! It's daughter and mom ran with mom making the most delicious baked goods that raise money for different charities! You have to try the brownies! Come for the food and stay for the vibes...and more food!! :) The people that work there are the best!! read more

Coffee was good but if you are going to show a scone online, then have the same one. Not a raw looking scone. Terribly disappointing read more

Biscuits and gravy are awesome as well as the other things I have had on the menu. Also great customer service! I am glad we have such a great place for food near my work! Lastly it is set up with room and a great atmosphere. read more

Service and food are great! My wife and I split a cranberry spinach salad with chèvre and the French dip. Spinach was fresh, cranberries of good quality and the chèvre was very good. Dip au jus was nicely accompanied with real horseradish. Service was friendly, fast and accurate. Plenty of seating and some electrical outputs to use. I gave this 5 stars because it is a great place to have a breakfast or lunch meeting and get things done - and the prices are very reasonable. It isn't a culinary diamond or "foodie" destination. But for what it is - a friendly cafe to sit down and chat/work - it sets a benchmark for PDX. read more

My sister and I love LJ's! Good food, veg options, reasonable prices, excellent service, friendly staff! Anita B. and Melody G.

Really nice atmosphere, and the food is great every time I eat here. The staff are cheerful and gracious, and the restaurant is clean and well stocked. I try something different on the menu every time I visit and so far there isn't a single thing I wouldn't eat again because so far everything has been delicious. read more
