They hire a bunch of high school women who'd rather chat with each other than acknowledge anyone waiting. And the prices are insane. Yeah, coffee prices in general are way higher than they should be, but this is another level. $18 for two medium-sized iced coffees. And the quality isn't even that great. I'm all about quality over quantity and customer service. Neither of which you will get at this establishment.

We were a little concerned they'd be busy from how full the parking lot was but once inside we got sat right away. It's not your typical old school diner vibes here it's more of a coastal vacation/cottage feel. Now that does not mean you miss out on all aspects of a diner. I overheard many regulars chatting with staff and saw the servers working hard keeping people's coffee cups full. Fast paced with a friendly smile so no complaints service wise. I went with their current burrito special which was the Country Burrito that came with peppers, onion, bacon, homefries and cheese. The burrito also had a side of homefries too, which i think with the special could have skipped on that since the burrito had them inside. My wife got the Irish Burrito which basically had a corned beef scramble in burrito form. Both tasted very good, my wife did wish the corned beef pieces were bigger though. Although we enjoyed them I think we would try different things next visit. The prices were very reasonable I think considering how expensive everything is. A welcoming diner with friendly and quick service with tasty burritos. If you are in search of a breakfast spot give them a try. They are also a bagel shop next door in a different sectioned area.

Has to be one of the worst sandwiches I've ever tried to eat. I took one bite and there was absolutely no way I was going to take another bite and so I just threw the whole thing away. I was going to drive back and give it right back to them without asking for my money back and just saying here you keep this and I was just a little too far away to be able to do that but I certainly would have. This is not a place I will ever come back to. I know a lot of people go there the place was busy the place was packed but my experience was absolutely Dreadful and I am not going to waste my money like that again! There's nothing worse than spending good money on horrible food! I only have a certain amount of time for a lunch break and I wasted it so now I got to go hungry for the next few hours. Poor me. But what a horrible experience.

Still awesome after all these years!…read more New ownership, same great vibes. If you haven't been, you should. The daily specials are really, really good, and one time I was lucky enough to have a life-changing shakshuka. (Yes, life-changing.) Every time we go, we're pleasantly surprised. Since it's off the peninsula, there's usually no wait, which is a rare thing in Portland. The staff is friendly and low-key, and honestly, this place is a gem. And did I mention the specials? I like big, meaty breakfasts, and their corned beef hash was good before, but now it's off the charts. You get a generous portion of actual corned brisket with all the fixings, plus eggs cooked your way and your choice of bread. If you've been in Portland a long time, you might remember another local legend's corned beef hash. Honestly, this is better. My better half prefers more veggies and typically gets something with spinach. The options are always plentiful, so there's something for both of us. And what morning isn't going great without mimosas? They always have a great seasonal mimosa alongside the classics.

Went back outside to wait. Since it was already getting pretty hot, we went inside to sit on the chairs they had available for waiting. Finally, the hostess came and seated us at the empty table I had passed 20 minutes earlier. Could only assume they didn't seat us there sooner because they're understaffed, which is the case at pretty much all restaurants in Portland. Once we were seated, everything went very smoothly. Service was great, server delightful, food well prepared and just right. My sister had granola with yogurt and fresh fruit, her husband had salmon benedict, and I had classic benedict. All were great, as were the home fries served with the benedicts. Well worth the price and the wait. This is a venerable old Portland establishment that has been consistently excellent over many years and they lived up to their reputation.

We went around 11 a.m., and the wait was about 35 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all. The hostess was super nice, and the restaurant itself had such a cozy atmosphere. We ordered the lobster eggs Benedict and smoked salmon eggs Benedict, and both were absolutely delicious! We also got an order of buttermilk pancakes, which were a little stale, not going to lie, but that definitely didn't ruin the experience for us. I will say it's a bit on the pricier side, but if you're looking for delicious eggs Benedict in a cute and cozy environment, this is definitely a spot worth checking out!

The lobster roll was great. They accommodated my 6 year old flavor profile and gave red sauce on the side. Aside from the food and space, Mark and Celine exemplify the epitome of hospitality and service recovery. There was a minor hiccup during our meal. And Mark, the manager, went above and beyond to amend the mistake. Thank you Mark and Celine for a great dinner after a long day exploring.

A Balkan-inspired menu? Come on. I finally tried it and I'm already counting down until I go back. I was expecting casual counter service and your typical breakfast food. I was so wrong. We were greeted by the warmest staff, who let us pick our own table. We sat by the windows, which was perfect for the morning sunlight; exactly what we wanted. The menu is eastern European with some Spanish touches (think huevos rotos and patatas bravas). Books featuring Bulgarian photography and other eastern European countries were scattered around the space, it was a lovely touch. The service was just as great as the food. My hot coffee came in the cutest mug and our waitress kept refilling it without being asked. The mekitsi and parzhen were phenomenal, with the parzhen being my favorite. The spreads they came with... I wanted to bottle those and take them home. My husband had the patatas bravas and I had the shakshuka, and we added kyufteh to both, this incredible in-house sausage that was 10/10 (it was a little spicy!). Everything was phenomenal and the portions were generous. If you're not feeling adventurous, they also have traditional eggs and omelettes, all with a little twist and somewhat elevated. Their drinks menu was impressive too if you're into a fancy coffee. Can't recommend this place enough. I shall be back!

The inside is super cute & cozy. They have books about Bulgaria scattered around & on the back of the menus there are a few common questions about some of the menu item names. I love when a restaurant educates diners in addition to feeding us food from their home country so kudos there. I had the shakshuka which TBH is the best one I've ever had anywhere. I even make it at home sometimes using locally grown tomatoes and I can't touch this recipe here. Literally a blessing that they give you some toasted bread to use to clean out the skillet so you don't leave any behind. We ordered the mekitsi to share as a starter and boy was that good. I'm not the biggest sweets eater, and I usually don't eat breakfast except for when I'm traveling, but this was one of my favorite things I've had in recent memory. Perfectly prepared, crumpets stuffed lightly with feta cheese, drizzled in honey with local berries. You HAVE to get these. My wife ordered one of the specials which was local main blueberry waffles. They must have been delicious because she finished the entire thing and I don't think I heard a peep out of her while I was housing my shakshuka. Service was great I feel like Jess checked on us the appropriate number of times & she timed it perfectly to also drop in as I was reacting to how great each dish was. I heard an older couple next to us discussing why they had not came to eat here previously over some of the more heavily traffic places they have been to in town while they were visiting and I share their sentiment.
