    Went for brunch on a Friday and the wait was approximately an hour. There are some shops on the same block that you can peruse while you wait. They also have a help yourself drip coffee cart at the entrance. Just hold on to your cup! For one appetizer, two meals, and two Bloody Mary's, our total was in the neighborhood of $100 - so kinda pricey for brunch. But the food was delicious.

    I've never had a Scandinavian brunch and my first experience did not disappoint. We had the lemon danish pancake balls to start and it was so fluffy and nicely paired with their sauces. I ordered the smoked trout hash and it was delicious and savory. I also ordered a side of bacon and espresso martini to accompany my dish and I highly recommend this combo. Our servers were fantastic as well, making sure we were well taken care of. Just a heads up though, the wait can get long so be sure to get there early and put your name on the list. It's popular for a reason!

    Coming to this cafe was my first time having Swedish brunch! I was surprised by the options on the menu (not being familiar with many of them). Checking yelp however I was happy to see some great photos which helped me make my decisions. My friends and I shared a couple of entrees family style. The lost eggs stood out to me as it was not too salty and paired perfectly on the bed or spinach I found the staff to be friendly and caring, frequently checking in on us. They refilled our water numerous times and took great care of us.

    Was recommended to come try the food here while visiting Portland and it did not disappoint. We waited a while for our table for four, definitely over 30 minutes and we still ended up just sitting outside in the cold lol. I do not really blame them though because it is a small place and it looked like there were only two servers on the floor. I had the Lost Eggs with a side of skivers. I have never had any sort of Nordic or Scandinavian food but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! It was a little pricey but it was still delicious, especially the skivers. They practically melt in your mouth and are even more tasty when you put the lingonberry jam on them. Despite the long wait, the food made it all worth it. I look forward to coming back here again next time I am in town!

    Cute brunch spot in the Mount Hood area. We went during a weekday so it wasn't that busy but we heard from friends that weekends get very busy. Service is a little bit slower, but expected in a small town. They have seat seats inside and outside. And you can wait in the hotel lobby, which is a nice quaint area with a fireplace. The danish pancakes were more similar to donuts, but were amazing. Swedish meatballs, and the Swedish breakfast board were also tasty. if you're in the area worth stopping by for brunch.

    We finally got to check out Broder Cafe for breakfast this weekend and overall it was very tasty. We got there at 10:10am and were seated at 11:12am. The wait was the biggest detraction. We split the Danish pancakes (which look like large donut holes), the hidden eggs w mushroom and leeks, and the potato pancake. All in all... I wish they had an option to walk up and carry out a bag of the Danish pancakes. They were the star but again not worth waiting an hour in my opinion.

    This is a go to stop after I land in PDX. The food is always consistent, the atmosphere is cozy and the coffee is phenomenal. No notes on the food other than to say, DELICIOUS! Our server was also a pro and made an amazing flat white to go with my (adult Lunchable) Skagen board $23. I'll continue to come back.

    Portland never disappoints. This was a breakfast spot I'd been wanting to try for a long time. On our way down, my husband and I were debating where to eat, and curiosity about a Swedish-style breakfast led us here--and I'm so glad it did. The moment we walked in, I fell in love with the atmosphere. There was a quiet warmth in the air. While the kitchen was busy and energetic, the dining room felt calm and peaceful. The servers struck the perfect balance--friendly without being overbearing, professional without feeling distant. We started with coffee and orange juice, and even the coffee stood out--rich and genuinely good. We shared the potato pancakes as a side. My husband ordered the Swedish Hash, and I went with the Lost Egg with Mushrooms. The Lost Egg was outstanding: creamy and earthy from the mushrooms, packed with fresh spinach that still had a nice bite, and topped with breadcrumbs that crumbled perfectly with each forkful. The sourdough came with honey butter--and even the butter was memorable. A truly perfect breakfast. A Swedish breakfast spot that feels like stepping into a warm hug.

    Fantastic. Two egg breakfast w sausage and ragmuffin and rye toast. Lots of interesting unique flavors.
    Doug K.

    I had a great breakfast here this morning. Every part of it was 5/5. Very welcoming friendly service. Fantastic food with new / unusual things to try. And great coffee that you cod take with you. I had two egg breakfast with potato sausage (meat based with potato inside) and rag muffin which I never had before and enjoyed. I also had rye toast. The condiments were all excellent as well. Mustard complemented the sausage, lingenberry complemented the ragmuffin and the butter was TOO good on the toast!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Erika G.

    Unique dishes! Everything I've had here is delicious, but I'm particularly fond of the Lefse (potato crepe). They usually have a weekly Lefse special, and every variation I've tried has been fantastic! It's super savory & satisfying without leaving you feeling weighed down. The lightly dressed greens on top add a nice zing to every bite. The Danish pancakes are a must try, and they're very shareable. The lemon curd & lingonberry jam are a yummy balance of sweet & tart. This time I tried the open-faced breakfast sandwich & was not disappointed!

    We went there on a sunny day and the ambiance outside was very appealing. We ordered the pancakes, Salmon cakes and the Savory Crepe with Mushroom. I m not big fan of regular pancakes but if I will go to Portland again, I ll definitely get back her just for the Danish pancakes Top freaking notch Crepe was good , loved the texture but mushroom inside throw me off a bit. Dont really know what was wrong but just didnt like the taste. I also tried the Salmon cakes (i never order Salmon for myself) and I was impressed! Staff were very friendly and helpful and they even gave us a discount because they mixed up the order ( it wasnt really a big miss) One small suggestion though is to change the menu cards and maybe add actual pictures of the items cause what u get here is much better than what u read in that card

    I was so excited to try this place. The place was cute but the music was too loud. The wait was long. The food was ok. Nothing special. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast, danish pancakes, and hash browns. No flavor at all. I would give the pancakes 6/10. The sour dough bread was too hard. Food was cold.

    Danish pancakes - a must-get
    Margie A.

    Solid tasty meal here! A local brought me & I was impressed with the food. They indoor seating was limited but we arrived at 1pm so lucked out with seating inside on a warm day. We ordered the lefse special & Danish pancakes since those were the unique dishes. I went to college in northern MN where there were student lefse sales. I'm used to eating them plain with a little bit of butter & sugar. I thought the lefse special here was super flavorful with the sage sausage but I felt I couldn't truly appreciate the lefse this way. It was more like a fancy stuffed burrito, but still a satisfying dish. The star was the Danish pancakes. The inside was fluffy goodness & came with some great sauces. Those are a must-get! Server was friendly enough. Broder Cafe is a great option for some more unique brunch items.

We decided on outdoor patio seating since the weather was nice & it was generally quieter outside. We were people watching for a bit and noticed that our fellow restaurant goers were waiting for quite a bit, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was fine. When our waiter eventually tended to us, he was incredibly friendly & apologetic, owning up to the delay being on him, but we were cool with it -poor guy was working a double shift. We started off with deep-fried okra, I ordered the fried chicken meal, & hubby ordered the burger. I got to pick the chicken pieces I wanted, so I went with 2 thighs, thinking they'd be smaller pieces, so I could maybe finish my meal. I opted for collard greens as well. The food came relatively quickly and was super-fresh. The fried okra bits were piping hot down to the last bite. They went well with the spicy aioli. We hung onto the aioli so hubby could dip his fries. My meal was so good. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The batter was just perfect and crisp. Mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Gravy was rich and well-seasoned. Collard greens were so tasty. The balance of textures was just perfection. I ended up having to pack up a piece of chicken because it was so much food, but I enjoyed every bite I was able to take of my meal. I appreciated their welcoming vibe & the beautiful pride balloon arch inside the restaurant. I appreciated the friendly service. I appreciated the thoughtfully and expertly made food. It was a perfect way to end my culinary experience for this Portland visit.

This place was packed on a Sunday morning and the inside was beautiful living up to the country vibes of the restaurant. Staff is super friendly and had really good recommendations. What we ordered: Cinnamon rolls(this reminded me of the old-school Entenmann's dessert had like a creamy custard in the inside of it, which was absolutely amazing. Came out nice and warm) Chicken waffles country, fried steak and eggs The country fried steak and eggs was 1 million out of 10 was the thickest piece of country fried steak I've ever had in my life and I'm not a big fan of country fried steak but this was a hit for me. She asked me if I wanted the white gravy or the brown gravy and asked her what was her recommendation. She said try both and I was glad that I listened to her. It was Rich. It was creamy. It was flavorful. Its homemade and it was huge. I would definitely recommend this place. If you wanna have breakfast I'm from California and I wish there were something like this.

Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu. Did I mention the Foie Gras Dumplings? I never had anything like them in my life. That's a dish I would definitely travel back to Portland for.

It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish.
