Little River Café was a delightful find along the waterfront. Delicious breakfast with a view of the river, and good coffee. I had French toast with bacon and potatoes, and everything was delicious. I would rate this place above local chain diners, like Elmer's and black bear and such. The walls are covered in local artwork, which you can purchase, and they have business cards for the artist available as well. There's a cabinet full of hot sauces, and condiments to use to your pleasure, which was lovely. I will definitely be back. read more

This place is my little secret. Not a car in sight, only boats. The ambiance on the sidewalk out front makes me feel like I'm in France because I can sit along the Seine in their cute chairs eating a croissant drinking espresso with my pinkie out and wearing a beret asking if I can pet people's poodles as they walk by (except it's the Willamette and I'm wearing a beanie and the dogs are all doodles). They have more than croissants and espresso with a pretty full menu of breakfast and lunch options and they even have ice cream. read more

Little River Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This was only a short river walk from our stay at the Kimpton so we headed here before a day of hiking. We ordered at the counter. A hot latte and the açaí bowl were my breakfast choice. Loved them. We chose a table outside and enjoyed seeing all the people and pets going by. They brought out our order, including coffee and juice so once you order, head outside and enjoy the morning. Staff was great and helpful. The açaí bowl was a new menu item and apparently popular. I now know why. I had a little coffee left and we needed to leave so I bopped inside and got a Togo cup plus filled my water bottle with ice and water. Great stop. We actually stopped here the next day as well and ordered more substantial breakfasts (French toast and bacon and eggs) and still outstanding food. read more

Got to come by for their lunch on a sunny day and the outdoor seatings plus the view here can't be beat! Service was a little slow during the brunch rush but staffs were kind. Their Omelette of the day was nice but nothing crazy. Their Frend Toast, on the otherhand, was custardy and delicious. Better than I anticipated! Great portion too. For drinks, the Cappucino was excellent. Love the cute mugs they serve their coffees in. read more

Great little breakfast/lunch spot with a great river view! I had possibly the best turkey club sandwich I've ever had. Topped it off with ice cream for dessert! read more

I'm so glad they have extended hours now for the summer! 8am-4 most days, and until 5-6pm on Fri-Sun. Come out supporting this amazing local business while enjoying the spectacular waterfront view and weather. Super friendly services!!!!! Their daily specials are always on point and delicious too! P.Y. Please considering providing toilet cover seats! You know people will use the toilet paper for it then make it messy on the floor. read more

This was a cute find by the water. We got two coffees which were great. We also had their omelette with potatoes and standard breakfast (two eggs, bacon, potatoes etc). They give you a number and you seat yourself. They bring the food to you. It was fast service. At the end you bus your table which is no problem. Food was perfect and we are looking forward to stopping in again! read more

Love this riverfront cafe. The artwork is cool and vibrant. Service was good. Ordered a cider chai and a savory gluten free scone with chanterelle mushrooms, parmesan, and herbs. I am not a fan of mushrooms usually, but the flavors were nice and no weird textures. Great spot along the Riverfront. Decent amount of seating. Paid parking nearby. read more

We stoped into this cute cafe after arriving on the riverfront for this weekend's races. Bonus: They were still serving breakfast items! I'm a sucker for breakfast foods all day long. The server at the register was super friendly and very helpful. The menu has lots of GF options (though they do admit that there could be cross contamination). We opted for an egg sandwich with bacon and an ABLT. Service was prompt and remained friendly. Both sandwiches were great and we'd stop by again. read more

Cute place with seating inside and outside along the river. Great people watching lol. I ordered an iced oat milk vanilla latte which was pretty good. 7/10. They were out of a lot of stuff. I ordered the toasted salmon sourdough sandwich. Out of salmon, so used lox instead. It came out not toasted and def was not sourdough bread but was still good, felt like a sandwich I could make at home tho. Don't know if I need to go back but was a cute location. read more

Went over there for lunch. Two of us ordered sandwiches. Took 15 min to get. I had ordered the roasted tomatoes sandwich. No clue what i got. Nothing was roasted, nothing was toasted. There was... meat slice on it, though i swore it was a veggie sandwich. ‍ I was not impressed Maybe ill try for breakfast read more

It was okay. If you're looking for a quick caffeine fix or a bite to eat, this is your place. But if you want to sit down and really enjoy a cup of coffee, this might not be the spot. I ordered a dirty chai, and it was too watery, there was no creaminess to it. On the bright side, the staff were really polite and patient. There's plenty of seating and a great view. Overall, my experience with their coffee was just meh. read more

I got a french toast. I thought it was pretty mediocre. It was thick, which is good. And it wasn't overly egg-y. I dunno though, it just felt mediocre. I did really like the fresh whipped cream that came with it. It was thick and sweet. Really good. I also really appreciated that the cashier mentioned that I could get a half order. I had already eaten breakfast and wasn't really hungry enough for a full order, I moreso just wanted to try it, so yeah, that was appreciated. It's also cool that you are on the riverfront. The views are nice. read more

Little River Cafe - Turkey BLT - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Everyone was extremely friendly except for the most important one representing your business. The cashier was super friendly to the people before us and the person behind us in line. Made conversation with both customers and she forced herself to say things like "anything else" point out when we were wrong and tried her best to hide how annoyed and unhappy she was with us visiting your establishment. Which was definitely not the case with the other customers. Very disappointed in this one employee of yours. And quite disgusting to have to hear her blow her nose while we are eating. We have daughters that go to school here in Portland and we love to check out new places. Usually everyone is very kind and friendly. Unfortunately she was not. read more

The bagel sandwich was one of the best I've ever had ! The bagel was crunchy (was that right?) yes! The bagel had a nice crunch when you bite into it but not dry and then the texture turned moist and soft and delicious. OMG. I got it with bacon and egg. I also had an iced latte which was amazing too. I recommend sitting outside along the river. It's a beautiful place. Food service was slow and friendly but expected since they were busy and packed on a Saturday morning. read more

Little River Cafe is a charming pit stop on a nice waterfront stroll. The cafe has many coffee syrup options and the breakfast menu has hearty breakfast options to match. During our visit we witnessed one of the waitresses deal with an irate customer with grace and professionalism, which was definitely an interesting way to rev up our morning. Next time I'm in Portland I will definitely revisit Little River Cafe! read more

A cute little place on the riverfront with indoor and outdoor tables. Service was friendly and efficient; order at the counter and they bring it to you. I had the salmon sandwich which was good albeit it's not smoked salmon; it's not advertised as such. Bagel not toasted. Should I have asked? Would be handy if they had salt, pepper and optional plastic utensils by the sugar options. read more

So the view is absolutely stunning. It sits right across from the river. The staff was very friendly, but I also feel like they were short staffed for Saturday. The gentleman who was taking our order, was also responsible for taking food out and acting as a server, so I think it made the line a little bit more congested. I enjoyed my Old Faithful breakfast with just eggs bacon the potatoes were amazing . Observing the view and the bustling's of a Saturday morning, Riverside was such an adorable scene. I would definitely return. I'm only giving it four stars because I feel like the order process and even entering and figuring out where to order can be quite daunting read more

Food was fantastic, people were super friendly, location is beautiful. I had an Egg Sandwich (which was fantastic) and a coffee. The only problem we had was that it took 30 minutes to get a sandwich and 2 coffees. When we finally went to check on it, it was ready - just not delivered. So, a little frustrating (we had to take it to-go at that point), but they could have just been super busy that day. Would definitely check them out again though! read more

I arrived after walking 6.7 miles with my tummy grumbling. Inflation seems to have hit this place particularly hard. The grilled cheese was perhaps the best I've ever had. I had to go into my credit card debt for it, but it's going to be okay. It's gonna be okay. It's going to be okay... read more

I had a great experience. There was no wait for a seat which is a nice treat in Portland. The cafe is right on the water front so it was a great view of the river. The cafe was clean and tables were tended to quickly as people left to make room for others. The coffee was good and I really enjoyed my food. Everything was cooked perfectly. I ordered the sweet breakfast which allowed me to taste the flavorful pancakes. I was pleased that they came with the sweet cream and a bit of fruit. The bacon was on point and cooked perfectly. One friend ordered the Salmon bagel sandwich and it looked really good. I think I will try that next time. Another friend got a dish that had the potatoes. She really liked the potatoes and the other person with us agreed they were good. Everyone was so friendly that worked there. I will absolutely be coming back and recommend this gem to others. read more

Lovely cafe on the river, outdoor seating gives you views of the river as well as the dedicated, humidity runners, and plenty of cute dogs! It is a counter order place, good options for breakfast and coffee. Got two plates of the french toast, egg, bacon meal. The french toast was brioche and very good, the pecans, syrup, and beautiful full fat whip cream were the real stars. read more

No hint of uncooked egg white anywhere. read more
