    Pastry case

    I was visiting a friend who lives locally and she suggested this place for breakfast. Food and a nursery to boot. How perfect! Only problem was that everyone else had the same thought. Since we were on our way to the airport, the 45 minute wait wasn't going to cut it. We instead chose to get a few pastries and then wander the nursery for a few minutes. I'll come back and try again next visit.

    Stopped by on a whim to grab food at the cafe after hearing good things, and was surprised at the long duration of wait for a table. Decided not to stay after considering, but elected to walk around and tour the establishment on my own. The cafe is in an old house that boasts lots of character. Seems like a really lovely place to have a casual brunch and catch up with a friend. I did check out the menu and it seemed to have many tasty options. I took a stroll around the nursery area and was impressed with the diversity of options. I would love to go back in the summer months and see everything in Bloom. But a very nice area to walk around where you wait for your table or after you grab a coffee to go. The indoor parts of the nursery were particularly impressive and had many lovely items that would make a special gift for a loved one. Parking was easy and the bathrooms were clean. The staff was nice, but not overly friendly. I'm hoping to go back soon in order to give it a better chance for assessing the experience. Otherwise, the atmosphere is definitely inviting and worth checking out.

    Ambiance, service and food all top notch. The views are amazing, the staff friendly. The wait times are 35-45 minutes. Just be prepared and you'll be okay. If you're in a hurry you'll be frustrated . On the spendy side but worth it. Like any busy restaurant it can be a bit noisy. A spin around the nursery is worth it. One of a kind plant and super helpful staff. Ample parking in back so don't be discouraged if there is nothing in front.

    The wait was about an hour for a table for 2. We ambled about the store on the property and enjoyed coffees on the cafe patio while we waited. Love that there's a to-go window on the patio that serves coffee you order inside. The drinks were great and they had a lot of options; I would love to try more! The food was good but I can't say the portion sizes justified the higher price tag. Breakfast is pretty cheap to make so I'd expect either something extravagant or large portions when being charged higher prices. That said, I enjoyed my visit and would like to return in the future

    I have been here a couple times for brunch now and exploring the grounds of this lovely nursery. If you want to sit and eat, I recommend the outdoor space that has warmers and is an enclosed patio. The food has been great both times I visited. You have to come early enough to try the cinnamon roll before they sell out. They also have a bakery counter that sells coffee and tea and some tasty pasties if you want to walk around and check out the gift shops and the grounds. They had the grounds decorated so cute for the fall with pumpkins and fall decor.

    Cornell Farm Cafe is an adorable location for any gardener and plant lover to enjoy a serene brunch. We wish we had more time to have shopped around and looked at the plants. We arrived just after they opened at 0800 on a Sunday and it was already pretty busy. I can only imagine what it is like later on in the day! We were seated on the back patio but there is the option to order to-go and walk around and look at the nursery. The server was quick to take our orders but not overly friendly. We both ordered honey lattes. They serve Sleepy Monk Coffee which is one of my personal favorites. I don't tend to order sugary/sweet coffee but theirs did not have all that much flavoring in it. In the future I would be sure to order mine to be double sweet here. We also both got the Belgian waffle with a strawberry rhubarb dressing, pistachios and whipped cream. There is the option to get a half order rather than a full. I felt that the waffle was a bit overcooked/hard- otherwise the flavor mix was amazing.

    I must go back. Farm to table. Great service. Nursery if you have a wait and need to burn time. Fresh food. You know when your waffles already come with syrup rather than the chance to pour it on yourself? That's when you know it's good. It had vanilla chantilly cream and apple flavor! Biscuits and gravy and eggs were soft and moist and made you perfectly pull without being too heavy for biscuits. And the eggs Benedict, well they said that was the best eggs Benedict they've ever had!! Speaks for itself. Would love to try more on their menu and go back when they change for the seasons

    This is my new favorite breakfast spot. Screen Door held the title for many years but we now have a new champion. This is the epitome of farm to table. Everything we had was excellent. Our server Matt was top notch. If you are lucky, the bakery has fresh sugar cookies available. Those are my favorite. If I had to mark them down on anything it would be the parking. It can get congested with all the customers trying to get in for brunch.

    Quality of the plants was top tier & excellent service! Try out the cute cafe they have as well. Really deliciou

    My wife and I went out for coffee. So this was the "medium" size hot chocolate. We paid $13 dollars/ with tip. For this. They were so small that when asked was" they are European sizes, 8, 10 and 12 OUNCES. It would be in mils if that was the case! Btw the prices are different than the ones posted.

Immaculate atmosphere and the exact sort of thing we were looking for for breakfast. We didn't get her name but saw on the receipt her name might have been Davi, she was such a bundle of light and life, so attentive and kind! She immediately gave us wonderful recommendations which we all adored. The table ordered praline bacon to share (do yourself a favor and get this), one ordered the praline bacon waffle, another ordered the bananas foster waffle, and I got the seasonal vegetable hash. We were all in HEAVEN with what we ordered. From the first bite to the last it we were all absolutely stunned by how delicious and well made everything was. I savored every bite as did my compatriots. One gal ordered a couple things to go for her family (huevos rancheros for the hubby and cinnamon rolls for her kiddos) and our waitress Davi recommended they bring out the cinnamon rolls unfired so that she could pop them in the oven when she got home after a short drive. It was such good attention to detail that felt like such a friendly offer. Absolute superstars, the lot of you. Next time I'm back in Portland I'm absolutely spoiling some friends here with what I can only describe as a transcendent experience.

We paired everything with a strong cup of coffee with extra refills, of course. I highly recommend it!

We are typically brunch people, making it here most often on a Saturday or Sunday for a late brunch. Their benedicts are to die for... truly, they're all wonderful. Their Laser Potato is out of this world. Truly, my favorite item on their menu. It is fabulous in all ways. I often take a side of it home just to enjoy later. We recently tried them for dinner. Their muscles are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best I've ever had. This beats living in the southeast on the coast, any west-coast seafood restaurant, and every place I've ever enjoyed in Italy. They've certainly topped the muscle game. Highly recommend Olympic Provisions. I will gladly vouch that the negative reviews are from the haters, just to hate. The overall experience has never been anything less than fantastic. Photos to follow (hopefully, if I can find them! HA!) Enjoy OP next time you're in PDX!

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. 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. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.
