    A somewhat disgusting Turkey Bacon Avacado Sandwich which is missing the tomato spread
    Zachary R.

    I wouldn't recommend this location. Not to anyone, ever. The Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich I ordered was disgusting. Wilted old veggies coupled with turkey lunch meat which was exceptionally slimey and translucent. It was missing the tomato spread and had almost no avocado. I ended up throwing it away it was so bad. A waste of almost $8. I highly recommend that you STAY AWAY. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that I could have made a better sandwich by dumpster diving outside a grocery store. Pathetic, PLEASE do us all a favor and SHUT DOWN.

    2/21/2019 - The lox plate with  side of fruit.
    Mikhail H.

    I am not a fan of going into this location just for convenience. First of all - the parking lot is usually a bit of a mess due to this being on the corner and people cruise fast around the corner. Next up I go to the counter spot which says order here and after five minutes the person on the other end which says to pay here says she can help. It just seems silly to have this two locations and not enough people to man both spots. With that said, I do love their food. My new favorite is their lox plate which is a bagel open face with cream cheese, red onion, tomato, lox and capers plus a side of...well, I get a side of fruit. Its a great breakfast treat though they also have sandwiches for your lunch as well, smoothies and quite a few other options. Their food is a bit pricey for an everyday option but for a once in a while thing not so bad.

    We got here not long before closing, so while it wasn't busy, there weren't a huge choice of bagels left. We thought the bagels were ok, we wouldn't go out of our way to have them again. Staff was friendly.

    Great stop for breakfast! Very affordable and a good selection to choose from. The offer many drinks as well. This is a nice spot to hang around awhile while getting work done and eating breakfast. They have many locations in portland and so far every one of them have been great.

    Avocado bagel!
    Tess W.

    This place has abysmal reviews. It's a franchise. It is not a specialty bagel shop. So it is held to different standards. 1. Is the product consistent? 2. Is the place clean? 3. Does the price match the expected quality? 4. Decent customer service? It is obvious to me that the employees of this location are very unhappy with their jobs. Which speaks to the management more than the corporate franchise as a whole. I have been to other locations with a lot happier staff. Which makes for a much more positive customer experience overall. The bagels are good for franchise bagels. The prices are good. I like the avocado bagel. The price point is good for what you get. I enjoy the pumpernickel bagel. My girlfriend likes the coffee. Over all this place gets a solid 3 stars which is really the highest any franchise joint will get from me.

    A long imbedded black straight or body hair in bedded in the bacon .

    My husband just order a bagel for breakfast and I took two bites and saw a long straight hair in bedded in the it so sickening , that the food place don't have very strict rules with how there handling and serving the food to customers. I don't have to worry about COVID-19, I have to worry about other people body hair in my food . The Food and health services should give you a F- on this location and a huge fine . Am going to be send this to the Food and Health of Oregon because I have to worry about how my food is being made with Body hair In my food or other things from people who don't probably handle food .

    Plenty of parking in the plaza it's located in. Upon entering, the staff was really friendly and…read morehad me take a seat anywhere I'd like. The theme made sense and felt very outdoor baseball themed with their tables and chairs. Ordered the chicken and waffles and while the chicken itself was juicy on the inside, the breading was very burnt tasting and tasted like old oil. The waffle was nothing special and on the soggier side.

    Regular customers but first time at this new location. I'll admit that I'm not a fan. To start,…read morethe outside sign is very shy and easy to miss. Inside is clean, bright but impersonal and generic. Maybe they just haven't had the time to put their stamp on it yet. The upsides - there is table service now and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I've ordered their Country Fried Steak with scrambled eggs multiple times now. Still a very good steak and sausage gravy. Either the steak breading of the sausage gravy was maybe a touch more salty than usual. The eggs were disappointing- scrambled eggs should be fluffy due to constantly stirring over low heat in a pan - and previously they always had been. This time they were a overcooked dense, dry puck, It was as if the egg mixture was poured out on the flattop, left and flipped once. Still eatable with hot sauce. Over all - they did hit a ball, but definitely no home run. It's unlikely that I'll be back.

My breakfast partner had the veggie hash which was enjoyed very much. I had the Truckstop breakfast with 2 eggs, breakfast potatoes, veggie sausage (comes with your choice of protein), and a cat's head biscuit (that's what we called giant biscuits in the South). The cook prepared the scrambled eggs perfectly - I order eggs "scrambled, soft" but don't always come out that way, but they were expertly on target here. The breakfast potatoes were glorious- a generous serving of perfectly seasoned, fluffy soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, two pieces of tasty vegan sausage, and the biscuit had been sliced and heated on the stove and came with butter and what I suspect might have been housemade berry jam. I am fussy about pancakes and didn't see anyone else with them on their plates (as I rubbernecked around the room to see what people were eating) but I think I'll try one next time, now that I know what an exceptionally good job they did with everything on this first visit. Street parking. Use of their on-line waiting list is encouraged.

There is only neighborhood street parking, FYI. There's only a handful of tables inside (and a couple outside) but the space is nice and cozy. They have both plants and art on the walls for sale. Their menu offers a number of options for both drinks and food. I had a mango mimosa (one of the best mimosas I've had in some time) to drink, and a pancake and the vegetable hash to eat. The pancake was wonderful. The hash was a great mix of veggies and the most perfect poached eggs on top. It was served with a small spring mix salad. My complaint with all the food was that it was just ok. While prepared well, it all lacked flavor. Nothing seasoned or stood out as a great dish. The service was fantastic. A small staff, but they all were doing everything and I believe everyone touched our table throughout our dining experience. I'd go back, but it wouldn't be at the top of my list to revisit.

They have gluten free bread in a separate toaster that doesn't fall apart and was delicious in a breakfast sandwich. They have gluten free waffles that are definitely on our list next time to try. Biscuits Cafe is definitely the best breakfast we've had in a long while. We needed a new place for gluten free breakfast since iHop stopped serving gluten free pancakes. The kitchen is out in the open to watch them cook the food and they even have a dedicated biscuit warmer. The biscuits were the best I've ever had! Flaky and melt in your mouth, especially with the fresh jam and whipped butter! They played good music and the staff was super friendly and immediately sat us. Our server was Jose A. B, he gave me his opinion between two menu options and I went with the Hash and Eggs. The red potatoes were seasoned great. It was a bit expensive for two at $54.76 but we tipped 25% on-top of it due to the level of service. The price makes sense due to the speed and taste of the food and the friendliness of the staff. We're definitely coming back in the future.

One of his fellow servers saw my "I need caffeine" face and came over. Since it was several minutes with no acknowledgement from my server, I ordered as I got my coffee. My meal came out quickly. Crab cake Benedict was meh. I had to get my own tableware. A man from "Corporate" saw this and apologized. After that, no one checked on my meal. No one offered my a coffee refill. "My" server offered a box for my potatos but never came back with the check. I asked for the corporate guy, but was told another manager would be with me shortly. She quickly comped my meal and apologized. She is the regional mgr. I offered my contact info, which she took to call me later. Nothing since then. I visit Portland annually and was always curious about this place. Now I'm not.

    Came in with high hopes, left disappointed on almost every front…read more The croissant looked impressive -- big, golden, seemed like a great pick. But one bite in and it was clear it hadn't been warmed. When I mentioned it wasn't fresh, the staff defended it saying it was made the night before. Exactly my point -- if it was made the night before, warm it up. Even Starbucks does that. It was dense, cold, and not enjoyable at all. The coffee I ordered extra hot, and it wasn't. Within a few sips it was already lukewarm. That's a basic request that should be easy to get right. The atmosphere is okay visually, but it's packed with laptop workers and there's barely any space to sit and relax. People treat this place like a co-working space and give you stares if your kid makes any noise. It's a coffee shop, not a library or an office. And the tip screen before you even taste anything? Hard pass on that concept. I carry cash and I tip based on actual experience -- that's how it should work. Service was polite but dismissive when there was a real complaint. Probably won't be back.

The Mocha ($6.50 for 16oz) is way too sugary for my taste, but still tastes good, consider getting water to wash it down. The pastries are brought in daily and made by Jenn. And we tried only the Croissant ($6) and the Spinach & Ricotta Lattice Pastry ($7) but these were much better than the freshly made Avocado Toast ($9.50), even though the avocado was ripe and the toast was good, however it was missing salt or whatever seasoning to make it as good as the other pastries. SERVICE Super fast and super friendly . One thing is having a decoration that calls for inclusion, but having a team that represents it, that's gold. ENVIRONMENT Loved how easy it's to find the counter with all supplies, and the decor is simple, yet inviting. It's an inclusive decor, but subtle. Bottom line: Definitely a place I'd like to come back to!
