Walking into the cafe I knew we were in for something special. Ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches,…read moreboth came with a side of chips and a pickle! Added a side of baked beans 9/10 for both the beans and sandwiches. Great portion sizes, the sandwiches were overflowing with meat. The sauce to meat ratio was perfect. Not too sloppy, but not dry either. Wishing there was a bit more coleslaw flavor but the pickles and onions made up for it. Coming from a Texan missing some homemade bbq, I will be coming back here again!! 10/10 service - We were told 20 min, we got everything in 5. Staff were incredibly nice!

Quick Snapshot - Fast service, excellent food, and reasonable prices…read more Detailed Review - If you find yourself in the Hillsboro area, this sandwich shop is well worth a visit. The café itself is simple, clean, and cozy, with a small outdoor seating area available. Their menu features a variety of sandwiches and burgers to choose from. On a previous visit, I tried the elk burger, which was excellent. This time, I ordered the roast beef sandwich, and it did not disappoint. The bread was lightly toasted, the portion of meat was generous, and the sandwich itself was hearty and satisfying. Service was quick and efficient, making it an ideal spot for a casual lunch. While the space is modest, it is well-maintained and comfortable. They also operate a butcher shop next door, which has become one of my favorite places to purchase quality meats--I plan to review that separately in the future. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Brunch at La Provence is always a solid move, and the corned beef hash mostly delivers…read more The hash itself is flavorful and well-seasoned, with nice crispy bits that give it texture. The corned beef leans a little more on the tender side than crispy, but it still pairs really well with the potatoes and peppers. Eggs on top were cooked right (went with over easy), and once everything mixes together, it's a pretty satisfying plate. That said, I was hoping for a bit more punch--either more crisp on the beef or a slightly bolder seasoning to really make it stand out. It's good, just not quite "crave it all week" level. The atmosphere, as always, is cozy and a little elevated for a brunch spot--great place to sit and take your time. Service was friendly and on point, no complaints there

Very Industrial coffee house and roasting factory…read more The meat lovers omelette was really an egg wrap. Grab an egg pancake and throw meat mix with little cheese then toss some potatoes and white bread on the plate. Done. No cooking! A real omelette will be eggs in the pan and whilst cooking put the meat and gobs of cheese in. Fold over half and let the omelette finish cooking capturing inside the egg mixture in one item with cheese melting inside. The coffee is not impressive. Self serve from a push top brewed an hour or more ago? The Peruvian coffee had no flavor strength. Unless you order espresso drinks. Lots of tables and seats. Some high tops and outdoor picnic tables. No real character unless you enjoy industrial settings, in an industrial park. I think they get a large crowd during the week business hours where everyone has to be back at work in 30-40 minutes. Don't recommend.

This is a very popular place and has been here for a long time. I've stopped in a few times when I…read moream in the area since I know they will be consistently great. They are in an industrial area so I'm guessing a big chunk of their business comes from folks who work in that area. Lines can be long, mostly owing to these characters who love paying sky-high prices for a drink that tastes nothing like coffee. Me? I like mine black, no additives. If I wanted a frappe I'd go to Dairy Queen. Yes, I'm a Navy Vet and a coffee snob. if the person ahead of me in line wants more than a little cream in their coffee my head starts to hurt. More than five additives and have a defibrillator handy. Seating is limited and often not an option. You'll likely be sharing a bench with one or more afore-mentioned daisies sipping on some drink that took a half hour to concoct. I'd love it if they had a separate line and seating for normal folk who just want a coffee of the day. But it is what it is.

This place is right across the street from the VA clinic so I thought I would check it out. I have…read moreto fast for the blood tests so I always ask for the earliest appointment possible. So by the time I got out of there I was starved and really up for an outstanding breakfast. Sadly, none was to be found here. Like one of my fellow Yelpers, I stuck my head inside the doorway... was duly un-impressed, turned around and left. Hungry. I did grab one of their menus and while it was a full page of options there was really only one item: A breakfast sandwich. The options were the dozen or so ways that this overworked sandwich could be configured. Reminded me of those insanely overpriced "restaurants" at PDX. If I wanted a microwaved bagel and toppings I would have just gone to McDonalds... an establishment that I haven't eaten at in eons. Several immediate turnoffs. The dining are was quite large. Yet even though it was prime-time for area workers and folks to be looking for a late b'fast/early lunch there was only one young couple there. Nursing their cups of coffee. So I'm thinking this is NOT going to be the lots of great food at reasonable prices great dining secret that I was hoping to find. The other major red flag was a verbal greeting from some unseen person behind a counter 40 feet away. I looked in that direction and there was a sign "order here". HA! I gather there is no table service. Just one of those places where you do the ordering and are presented with a tip screen "asking" for a 30% gratuity.... a stupidity tax benefiting people who do pretty much nothing. Or likely more accurately, the workers never see a nickle of this surcharge. I avoid places like this like the plague. And it's why I almost always pay cash when I eat out these days. If I don't have the cash on me, which is often the case, I wait until I get home to eat. Perhaps this review is overly harsh especially since I didn't stay to actually sample their fare. But the menu looked unimpressive, the prices were rather high, there was not an obvious fan base eating there... the vibe I got from this place was that I would be overcharged for an unimpressive, unfulfilling "meal". And that there wouldn't even be someone coming by to top off my coffee now and then. For north of $20! Why put myself through that?

This was my first time here. I am a VA client and frequent the clinic a block away from this…read morecoffee place. I have been looking for a decent breakfast/brunch place close by but so far no luck there. I am still recovering from renal failure so my mobility is severely limited. I travel mostly at the pleasure of the Veterans Transportation Service or Trimet Lyft. Today's Dr appointment finished up sooner than expected so I had some time to kill before the van returned to take me home. So I fired up my tablet and took a look on Yelp to see if there was anything of interest close by. Enter Insomnia Coffee. Lots of positive reviews. Right around the corner. So... off I go. I an a US Navy brownwater sailor. We drink coffee that tastes like coffee. No additives. None. Not even cream or (gasp) sugar. So when I told the barista [HA! The person who pours coffee into a cup] that i wanted a cup of coffee black I got this sort of deer in the headlights look. What? ...I'm sure she was thinking... no Madagascar cinnamon? no foaming goop? no stale crouton crumbs? no pumpkin pie spice? Ummmm seriously? People want their coffee to taste like pumpkin? Yikes. No Miss... just a cuppa Joe. Just like my first heart throb, Anna Mae Bullock....strong and black. And I have to say, insomnia delivered. Not a bad cup of coffee at all. Although I didn't really want to hang out there since it appeared that I had zero in common with anyone I saw there... hogging the comfortable looking chairs. So I had it in a paper cup, to go. Now I have a "thing" about drinking coffee from a large, ceramic mug.... I loathe tasting paper in my coffee and yes I can tell it's in a paper cup even blindfolded. but I digress. They did have a whole display area of decadent looking pastries and not the tiny, overpriced, bogus looking stuff you see at Starbucks. Not that i would ever go into a Starbucks even to use the rest room. They had several pies that made my mouth water and some gooey breakfast glazed things that would have seriously spiked my glucose. so I reluctantly passed. Perhaps next time :)

This is one of my new favorite places in Hillsboro for both a specialty bread loaf and their…read morefreshly made sandwiches. I always knew about this little bread making factory, but now I finally get what the hype is all about. Here's a few little reasons as to what makes this place "Great!" * Parking Situation * It's next to a Safeway, so plenty of spaces for parking. People come and go, so front row parking is usually obtainable. * Dining Expectations * First of all, they're a tiny shop, and there's only one long stand-up table against the window. So basically, no 'sit-down' dining. If you're grabbing lunch, you can also expect a lunch line due to its popularity. Sometimes the line can be out the door. * The Harvest Offerings * What impressed me most, was walking in with a warm welcome from the staff, and being offered a slice of bread to sample. They even offer some of their buttery spreads you can spread on it too. And it happens with every visit! Here's a few sandwiches I've tried: ~ Classic Turkey (1/2 sandwich, $6) made with their garlic cheddar bread. A simple sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, slices of turkey, mayo, and Tillamook cheddar. It's that soft bread that made it all so yummy. ~ Tuna Salad Sandwich (whole, $10), and I gotta say their tuna ain't so bad either. Not heavy on the dill flavor, but flavorful and filling enough. I had this on their wheat bread, and I'd say they make a tasty whole wheat! ~ Other favorites I've tried, their Club sando with Turkey slices and bacon. And their BLTA with avocado of course. Both are just yummy classics. Yes, I'd say their offerings are basic sandwiches, but really you gotta experience this place just because of the bread alone. They do have a display case full of pastries like their breakfast bun with egg, two types of cinnamon rolls, two types of bread pudding, brownies, scones, muffins, and various types of cookies. Look behind you and they've got a shelf with 'Day old cookies' that are still sweet to eat! But in closing, come here for the samples, come here for the sandos, come here for the pastries! What more can you ask for? (Well, I did ask if they can toast the bread for my sando, but they said they cannot. I get it. Just thought I'd ask lol).
