The staff is consistently friendly, and the drinks come out the same every time, which I really appreciate. Yes, the pricing is a bit on the higher side, but it makes sense given the organic, high-quality ingredients they use. If you're in the area and want something on the healthier side, I definitely recommend this place. It's been super helpful on my current health journey!

Proud Mary in NE Alberta St, Portland…read more I was excited to come back home to Portland and hit up all my favorite spots in this week but I had to choose carefully because I wasn't taking on the Portland food scene alone, I'm bringing a friend with me who has never been to the city at all. I needed to set the bar high from day one. Proud Mary on Alberta Street was my first move, and it provided a light but delicious first meal paired with great espresso drinks. (And I needed to set the bar high for coffee in town because this friend own her own coffee shop in LA) This is the kind of place I bring people to when I want to show off what this city does best a casual environment with interesting food that doesn't take itself too seriously, in a space that just feels right. I went with the oatmeal and a side of hash, (a hash that has such a unique texture that I think about it pretty often now I love a unique potato eperince) but execution of the seasonal flavors in the oatmeal surprise me every time in the best way. They pay so much attention to detail of he flavor and presentation and that makes even humble dishes feel more special. My friend ordered the spring omelette and it was simple, it could have used a bit more flavor or texture or even an additional protien source but it was good non the less. When our cappuccinos arrived first, I remembered this is an Australian-owned café. Served with a dusting of chocolate powder the way an "apparently" proper Aussie capp should be. Both cups were genuinely excellent. For vegetarians, the menu gives you real options with actual thought behind them and of course their are so many dishes with meat that everyone can love, so that's a huge win for me Who it's for: first-time Portland visitors, coffee lovers, anyone who wants a brunch spot that earns its reputation. Strong start to any trip. Veg selection | Flavor execution | Value | Staff knowledge | Ambiance

I had the bambito geisha. The flavor profile was a bit too acidic for me. Also didn't taste like the usual geisha I like. Cute place and great service. French toast and pancake look bomb but didn't get a chance to try.

I did not realize that this was a bikini barista until I pulled up to the window. The barista was…read morereally friendly though and kept a great conversation until I got my coffees. I got a white mocha for myself and an americano for my other half. They were ok. Not as good as Starbucks but maybe on the same level as Dutch bros. I could tell that the white chocolate was from powder instead of a syrup which made it taste powdery as well. My bf said his americano was "okay" I'll probably try another coffee place before coming back here

The cafe menu is packed with delicious drinks, food, + sweet treats. I was gifted one of their house made almond cookies to go with my vanilla oat milk latte, which was incredible, they both were a 10/10! I also really appreciate how many local & organic brands they carry in their mini grocery store, I'm looking forward to trying their sandwiches because I will definitely be back to support them frequently!

Portions were solid and it felt like a great way to start the day without feeling heavy. The vibe is chill, the staff is friendly, and it's an easy go-to if you're in the area and want something quick but still nourishing. Would definitely come back.

Service is efficient and friendly enough. You can order ahead online! The bathroom is clean, and parking isn't awful since there is an adjacent neighborhood off Hawthorne.

The girl working, Bella, was the sweetest and gave me such prompt service. She even reccomended I try one of their speciality toppings that ended up being my favorite part of the bowl!

The Celery -- Portland, OR…read more Walked in and immediately felt like I should own a fixed-gear bike. Industrial. Clean lines. Slightly edgy. The kind of place where you expect someone to be editing a documentary on a laptop made of recycled aluminum. Late afternoon visit, so the hipster crowd had clearly skateboarded back to their respective creative labs. I had the place to myself. Prime auditing conditions. First impression? This place is built for volume. You can tell. Efficient layout. Assembly-line potential. If bowls were a factory sport, this would be a playoff team. Ordered the Home Grown. Took a quick bathroom break. Came back and -- boom -- bowl was already on the counter. FAST. And it looked elite. Then I saw it. A generous dollop of peanut butter at the top, sprinkled with hemp seeds. I almost got emotional. It felt like flying over your hometown after months away. Familiar. Safe. Right. First bite? Delicious. Smooth. Creamy. Almost like frozen yogurt or soft serve. Easy eating. Crowd-pleasing texture. And then... I looked up. Another bowl was being made. The açaí base was coming out of a soft-serve machine. As a purist, this one hurt. I want hand-scooped. Blender-blade symphony. Crafted, not dispensed. I had a small internal crisis. But here's the problem: I really enjoyed it. So now I'm torn between my values and my taste buds. Would I go back? Yes. Would I wrestle internally again? Also yes.
