Great North Coffee in the Pearl, also full-service cafe & bar menu. I love a good spot that welcomes community for work, family, and casual get-togethers, and Lovejoy has space in spades whether indoors or out. Online ordering & catering are options to extend availability - while open 7 days a week, they service only lunch hours (til 2:30pm). I found a private nook with some delicate Sencha Spirit Tea (green, fired, with notes of toasted nori, sesame, and sweet melon) from Japan. A warming way to reconnect with self and old friends! read more

I don't know if these are supposed to be craft baked or not but the baguettes and the croissants are about the same as you might get at Safeway. I haven't tried one of the sandwiches. Maybe those are what keeps this place open because I can't understand why otherwise. read more

I visit this location frequently since I live nearby, but unfortunately my experiences haven't been very positive. On several occasions, the customer service has felt unwelcoming, and I've been treated more like an inconvenience than a valued customer. During my most recent visit, I asked for a sauce on the side, which is something I typically receive. The staff seemed annoyed by the request, and one employee mentioned it was already inside the burrito. Even so, I would have preferred it on the side. The interaction felt unclear and dismissive, and I believe better communication and a more attentive approach to customer service would make a big difference. read more

One of my favorite cafes in the Pearl. I love their Italian Sub and ciabatta bread. Big windows, lots of seats to study, offers breakfast and lunch all day. read more

We are visiting from out of town, plenty of parking nearby! Def recommend stopping here! Friendly staff very accommodating and dog friendly' for great weather days there's also outside seating. read more

Lovejoy Bakers - Breakfast sandwich. Egg, cheese, and avocado on ciabatta. They have bacon and stuff too if you're into that kind of thing. - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is my favorite breakfast!! The potatoes are very crispy and really well seasoned. I prefer their bacon over their sausage. Their breakfast burritos can be hit or miss , their breakfast sandwiches aren't bad either. The service is usually good but there's been a couple times where they've forgotten parts of my order. They're usually very apologetic and have great customer service. Inside there's plenty of seating but they have a lot of stools, I wish there was more chairs with backs to them. Especially because this would be a great place to work from and I see people doing that a lot! read more

Was craving something sweet, and this was the perfect spot. I got a snickerdoodle cookie and a chamomile tea both were amazing! I definitely want to come back because the breakfast looks so good. Seems like a great spot to study or get work done. read more

Went here for a quick bite and overall it was not bad. Service was nice and friendly. They were doing deliveries when we were here which was a bit loud and distracting and they dropped some boxes and knocked our table a bit but they were nice about it. The mocha was good and the orange juice is fresh squeezed apparently but isn't fresh squeezed in / is brought in. The breakfast sandwiches were alright, didn't have much flavor so needed to add sauces they provided to add it in. The egg part was really big but not very flavorful. Overall not a bad spot to chat or grab a drink. read more

DE-LI-CIOUS. This place is kind of mind blowing in a cold day. I got a sandwich and the butter crust on it was incredible. Super high quality and quick service. Staff is pretty friendly and you should be able to find somewhere to sit! read more

As others have stated I find it interesting that their main menu sign has no prices and you need to look at the printed menu for prices. I get that times are tough but staff didn't point it out and didn't acknowledge when I mentioned it which comes across as snooty. 2 eggs, protein and salad is 17 bucks which is insane. Breakfast burrito was more affordable and decent. Sticky bun was dry but sweet. Coffee ok read more

Surprisingly low ratings for the kind of place this Lovejoy Bakers is. As my early morning bite on a chilly 7am in Pearl District was perfected by their Avocado Toast with Cherry Tomatoes and Basil, I must write to up their ratings. I needed to eat with no coffee. After searching for a good place for some healthy food, this place was one of the recommendations on Yelp. As I perused the photos uploaded by the previous diners, I was convinced that this place would be IT!! I was the first customer for the morning as I arrived at 7am sharp. I was warmly greeted (and that is the start I wanted!) The display of all sorts of baked goods were right in front of me which I was compelled to take a photo of while I was paying attention to the lady (who greeted me). Like I already stated, I simply couldn't think of anything else besides the Avocado Toast. There are three ways to enhance your avocado toast: 1) Olive oil and lemon zest, 2) Roasted cherry tomatoes and basil and 3) Bacon and sunny side egg. The lady said all of them are equally good so I went with the middle one: Roasted cherry tomatoes and Basil. This ended up being a really good choice. It's a GOOD size/portion for the price. All the ingredients tasted so fresh and delicious. They didn't overly season the avocado. To be frank, I felt that I could use a little more touch of salt but since I hate salty foods more than typos (lol!) , I went as is (don't you hate the feeling of being thirsty after eating something with noticeable amount of salt? Yuck!) The shop is quite roomy with ample amount of tables/chairs (both high top seatings and low top tables.) Decors on wall are simply just right to create the perfect ambiance for the type of coffee shop it is. This is definitely a place for some healthy food especially if you want to avoid fast food places. It's centrally located in Portland's Pearl District, walkable from other places within. Enjoyed it! read more

What went well? Everything! Gorgeous shop excellent staff and menu! Avocado toast to die for! What else is there! Headed home from a surgery and needed something and the avocado toast with lemon zest and olive oil hit the spot! Heavenly! Exactly what the doctor ordered! Will be back! read more

Came to get a light lunch at this bakery in the Pearl District. It certainly wasn't the best one we had been to, even in that week alone, but it has some good things about it. Lovejoy gets its name from the street it's located on. Has a lot of what to expect. There's coffee, cookies, pastries and more. Basically it's more like a bakery than a restaurant, but there's a few tables inside. It's got many customers who get things to go so they have counter service. The orders are placed at the counter, and if eating here they bring the stuff to you. Lots of breads and pastries in the display case. They also have the full menu. It's about $3 for coffee. There's a few non dairy milk options. Basic. It's about $10 for a sandwich. Each of us got the Smashed Chickpea. This has chickpeas, pickled onions, and roasted red peppers. Happens to be the main vegetarian choice. This was good but for sure wasn't anything fantastic. For a local bakery it's okay but it could be a lot better. It's located on NW Lovejoy Street between 10th and 11th. The menu includes a few things for vegans and vegetarians. read more

We actually didn't get food there. I want to give a shoutout to the amazing staff. My husband tripped on the sidewalk a block away. I went in and they gave me a big bag of ice, napkins and a first aide kit. Really appreciate how caring and kind they were. read more

Decent coffee shop, some seating (inside and out) and common pastries. Could be good to work here or meet someone from a chat. Grabbed a few lattes and an almond croissant. The croissant wasn't super fresh and I wish I would have asked them to warm it up at least. Okay spot for a AM coffee. read more

This would be a perfect spot to come and read, work, or just relax. The windows let in so much light. Solid, very filling burrito. The burrito is definitely mostly potatoes, which makes it feel very heavy on the stomach. It was overall very salty, which is what I happened to be craving at the moment but for someone else might be a bit too much. A little on the pricey end, but that can be expected of the area. read more

Cozy cafe located in Pearl District. Great drinks, a beautiful pastry display, and fresh sandwiches / breakfasts. Avocado Toast ($8.25) - fresh and lemony, on hearty seeded sourdough. Just wish the bread had been toasted and that there was more avocado. Cardamon (+.75) Latte with Oat Milk - the latte art was so beautiful and the micro foam was perfect - I just do wish the cardamon flavor was stronger. Order at the counter and they bring food out to you. read more

Yum, yum, yum!!! Awesome place, great breakfast. It was my first time, just visiting and stopped for some grub, and it was delicious!!! Had their Love Joy breakfast then some bascotti to take away. All their food is yum, a must try. The staff is great; very polite and friendly. The atmosphere is very casual. Highly recommend! read more

Great corner coffee shop in NW. They have tons of seating, solid menu for food and beverage. I ordered a iced black tea and breakfast burrito. The breakfast burrito was good but basic. Soyrizo or chorizo with egg and potatoes. No veggies included. It could be spruced up with a sauce or cheese perhaps. Front counter server was nice and the check out process was quick. read more

We came in late in the day when pickings were fewer, bought a walnut loaf and a breakfast pastry or afternoon snack. There have been no changes in the utilitarian decor but most food is taken out. Service was very slow for what we ordered, but servers were polite and helpful. This establishment has improved greatly since my last review but looks and feels old and worn. Next time I may try their soup again. We shall see... read more

Went in today to get a breakfast burrito, order was placed at 12 :02 pm. $12.25 plus a 5.00 tip. No number given. At 12:27 pm I ask girl who took my order, what happened with my order... It was given to someone else and then thrown away. So 37 minutes later, I received a refund for $12.25 but you bet they kept that $5.00 tip ! Poorly made burrito to top it off .... loaded with bacon, hardly any potatoes, and 1 small piece of egg. So disappointed. read more

Breaks my heart to say this but it was not up to par. I used to work near this bakery when they first opened years ago. I came back for nostalgia's sake on a trip to Portland. None of the pastries were fresh. I'm talking 2-3 days old. I'm talking flies buzzing around and hanging out on the croissants. My kid ordered a snickerdoodle. They placed it in a pastry bag. When we opened the bag, a fly flew out! Like a scene from a Looney Tunes cartoon. Sorry Lovejoy - you were good back in the day. :( read more

I got a breakfast sandwhich. It's huge! I think the ratio was a little off. Tons of egg and bread, which was soft and crusty but little bacon. I also ordered a pistachio latte and it was nice, good level of sweetness. The staff was great. They were busy but anytime someone needed help they were on it. Perfect spot for spring to sit outside and enjoy a nice breakfast. read more

Magnifying glass case makes product look bigger than it really is. Croissant was mediocre, coffee cake day old, no personality to the staff.

Fantastic lunch. Tuna on crisp baguette halves, topped with sliced green olives and served over a spinach & raddichio salad. Delicous combination of salt, bitter, and a balancing sweetness from the green dressing seeved along side. Added a pastry to go and my day had significantly improved. Conveniently located a short walk from Portland's Union Station. read more

Grabbed some bagel sandwiches from this spot on a rainy weekend morning. The place was quiet at 8 AM with only a few other customers. We got both of the egg and cheese sandwich offerings - wish they had a few more varieties to choose from. Both were hearty, delicious and a good price. We liked the tapenade inclusion especially. Good service, we'd return. read more

I had the most delicious sandwich today from Lovejoy bakers! It was their beet sandwich. I wasn't sure how it would taste, but it was better than I ever thought a sandwich could be. I would highly recommend it, especially if you love beets . You won't be disappointed. I give it five stars!!! read more

Saturday afternoon. Just after lunch rush The two people behind the counter don't really seem to care. I bought water only to find out it is available free. Had the lox sandwich. The scrambled eggs were very good. The lox was mid quality at best. Menu said it had onions on it. Could not find many. The brioche was excellent but it overwhelmed everything else. Too much bread Ambience gets a 5 in 10. Awkward seating. Not very comfortable chairs. Would have sat outside but none of the empty tables were bused. Still aren't. Fair food. Non committed staff. Drab and uncomfortable atmosphere read more

Lovejoy Baker's was once the benchmark for great place to get coffee with a vasta selection of delicious pastries and sandwiches. Nice vibe inside, lots of people chatting, some doing work, a bustling takeout counter. The last few times I stopped in, the vibe was different and the choices seemed limited. Could be a result of employee shortage and changes due to pandemic. The wait times are definitely longer, service not as welcoming and efficient. Sure hope they are able to turn this around and come back as strong or stronger than before. read more

super friendly service and some great choices of wine! and the view from their floor to ceiling windows were amazing! Fun place to sit and read or people watch and enjoy some solo time read more
