    This is a super cute spot to grab something healthy and hang out. It is a little loud to do work but if you have noise cancelling headphones it's not a problem and there's great seating. Pretty spacious in here. Does get cold inside :/The sweet potato bowl was great-11$. I liked the garlic tahini sauce they put on top. Not the biggest portion but good for if you want a light meal. Definitely want to try their smoothies and other menu items another time. Employees are friendly. I feel like it's reasonably priced here too.

    Cute cafe with spacious seating both inside and outside. I got a yogurt bowl and a oatmeal latte which are both great. The coffee was actually really good and I was surprised since it seemed more like a brunch/food spot than a coffee spot. Workers are friendly. I liked the aesthetics inside, and the presentation of their food was great. I noticed that nearly all the dogs that were passing by outside on walks wanted to stop inside here which was funny to see. They have a very extensive menu of coffee, tea, smoothies, bowls, burritos, etc. Can't wait to try more!

    Mocha & Sweet Potato Bowl

    Had a delicious Sweet potato bowl and mocha. Hit the spot for a brunch date. Staff was nice and the back patio is wonderful!

    Favorite ~ Sweet Potato Bowl, dressing is tasty. Their smoothies are a bit pricey but natural ingredients. Service is cordial with no frills. Backyard patio spacious and a popular spot for a morning wakeup with the pup.

    Spacious cafe with a nice back patio that accommodated a group of six. Smoothie seems a bit pricey but okay for a one time visit. Friendly staff. Nothing out of the ordinary and left without a major impression positive or negative about the place.

    Sweet Potato Bowl
    Courtney L.

    Normally I love this place but the takeout order I just received was laughably bad. The portion was extremely small- measured about 1/2c of rice in total, 4 pieces of kale and about 7 pieces of sweet potato. I wouldn't typically count pieces of kale, but the shockingly small amount of food was unusual. Little to no sauce and poorly packaged as well. I had to do a double take to make sure I ordered from the right place

    Pumpkin smoothie
    Lauren S.

    Love poa. Staff is friendly. Plenty of seating and not a long wait. I really like the seasonal pumpkin smoothie

    $8 for a watery smoothie. $5 for a water kids smoothie. Nope. My kid wouldn't drink it. Why? Because it taste like frozen watered down berries. :( Mine did taste better than his but it was melted.

    This is my go-to place for a quick breakfast. Their vegan burrito is amazing, especially with the pink sauce--you HAVE to try the pink sauce! The service is good, although they are usually busy because of how popular they are. The only thing I'm not a fan of is their coffee, but that's okay because their food is incredible. I've also tried their waffles, which are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. The interior is cute with plenty of seating, and they also have an outdoor patio that's great for sunny days. Whether you sit inside or outside, it's a great spot!

    Sweet Potato Bowl, Matcha Latte
    Kiara Mae S.

    I love love love this place. It is definitely in my top 3 cafes to study! They have an indoor and outdoor seating with my tables and chairs to accommodate everyone. I chose the outdoor seating area and the vibes were just right. There was background music playing and the weather was so nice. I got the sweet potato bowl and a matcha latte. The portion of the bowl was perfect and it tasted so delicious. I wanted to try their lavender matcha but I think they just gave me regular matcha. However, it was alright because it was still yummy and the workers are super nice!

The young staff member was really friendly and gave me plenty of time to look at the menu and make my decision. They have a number of premade flavors, or you can make your own. I feel like you could spend years making every possible combination! The store is just off Killingsworth and Greeley. It's a cute little intersection with a couple of restaurants and stores. Parking is difficult on Killingsworth but head into the neighborhood and you'll find free spots. Inside is a little bigger than I expected, with a couple of tables.

The outside has 2 picnic bench tables. Inside is very spacious and clean. They have almost every creative flavor combo you can think of, and if you don't see something you like, you can custom your own combination! Such a fun place. I thought it would be too sweet but I ordered one, I forgot the name but it was AMAZING!!! Perfectly sweet and refreshing. Natalie was our barista if that's what you call her. But she was super sweet, very welcoming, easy to talk to. Super chatty but in the best way. It was fun to watch her make our drinks and she even told us we can add more pumps of certain flavors if we wanted. So that's not the best part. Best part is.. they're dog friendly!!! Yes, we were able to bring our fur babes inside and they even have pup cups!!

    This was my second time at Proud Mary! My first visit was back around 2018 during a road trip with…read moremy sister, and I remember us loving this café even then. So when I was back in Portland, I knew I had to come again. It does get pretty busy, but i only waited about 10-15 minutes. They have outdoor seating and a cute pickup window for to-go orders, but I definitely prefer sitting inside for the full experience. I ordered an iced matcha latte sweetened with honey, which was really good. For food, I got the avocado toast with two poached eggs and it was LOADED. The avocado comes in bigger chunks, the creamy spread was delicious, and the corn added the perfect little touch of sweetness. All the flavors worked so well together. I also got a side of hash, which was a pretty generous portion. It needed a little salt for me, but they have salt and pepper right on the table, so easy fix. Little tip: ASK FOR THEIR GREEN HOT SAUCE. OMG. So much flavor! It's not overly spicy, just the perfect kick, and it made everything even better. I actually asked if they sold bottles because I would've taken a few home with me, but sadly they don't. They also have a selection of baked goods that looked great, so that's on my list for next time. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. Years later and Proud Mary is still just as good as I remembered. Definitely one of my Portland favorites!

    Came to Proud Mary on the rainy Sunday morning for brunch. There was about a 30 minute wait to…read moredine-in. *Coffee fix adventures continue....* We ordered coffee from their to-go window out front before getting seated. Overall impressions: meh, there's better choices for coffee than this. Cappuccino was okay, I didn't think much of it. Their Pourover menu is pretty long and quite pricey. I think they average about $10-15 per drink and the most expensive was $26 (!!!) Hubs ordered the Ruiru 11 & SL28 Ruarai AA -- definitely acidic from the grapefruit & blackcurrant, but I personally didn't think it was worth $9 or that it tasted good. And onto dining in...we were seated at the bar/counter: -Hubs ordered the Turkish Eggs after the seeing it ordered from the party next to us. This was decent, very dill-heavy and quite a generous portion and served with pita bread. -I ordered the Hamachi Crudo and cleaned my plate! Loved this dish, though it was also pricey. -Aussie-Style Iced Coffee (with ice cream), we ordered this to try since I had originally thought Proud Mary Cafe served Australian coffee, but this was all I found on the menu related to Australia...it was good because what can go wrong with some coffee and ice cream? Restrooms were clean. Service was fair. We found street parking nearby around back of the restaurant in the neighborhood.
