    Breakfast sandwich. Egg, cheese, and avocado on ciabatta. They have bacon and stuff too if you're into that kind of thing.
    Zen X.

    What a great breakfast sandwich. I got egg, cheddar, and avocado on ciabatta. The sandwich was just very soft. Super soft bread. Good flavor of egg and cheese, and good coffee!

    Lovejoy Breakfast
    Claudia C.

    This is my favorite breakfast!! The potatoes are very crispy and really well seasoned. I prefer their bacon over their sausage. Their breakfast burritos can be hit or miss , their breakfast sandwiches aren't bad either. The service is usually good but there's been a couple times where they've forgotten parts of my order. They're usually very apologetic and have great customer service. Inside there's plenty of seating but they have a lot of stools, I wish there was more chairs with backs to them. Especially because this would be a great place to work from and I see people doing that a lot!

    Was craving something sweet, and this was the perfect spot. I got a snickerdoodle cookie and a chamomile tea both were amazing! I definitely want to come back because the breakfast looks so good. Seems like a great spot to study or get work done.

    Went here for a quick bite and overall it was not bad. Service was nice and friendly. They were doing deliveries when we were here which was a bit loud and distracting and they dropped some boxes and knocked our table a bit but they were nice about it. The mocha was good and the orange juice is fresh squeezed apparently but isn't fresh squeezed in / is brought in. The breakfast sandwiches were alright, didn't have much flavor so needed to add sauces they provided to add it in. The egg part was really big but not very flavorful. Overall not a bad spot to chat or grab a drink.

    DE-LI-CIOUS. This place is kind of mind blowing in a cold day. I got a sandwich and the butter crust on it was incredible. Super high quality and quick service. Staff is pretty friendly and you should be able to find somewhere to sit!

    As others have stated I find it interesting that their main menu sign has no prices and you need to look at the printed menu for prices. I get that times are tough but staff didn't point it out and didn't acknowledge when I mentioned it which comes across as snooty. 2 eggs, protein and salad is 17 bucks which is insane. Breakfast burrito was more affordable and decent. Sticky bun was dry but sweet. Coffee ok

    My Avocado Toast with Cherry Tomatoes and Basil
    Rika M.

    Surprisingly low ratings for the kind of place this Lovejoy Bakers is. As my early morning bite on a chilly 7am in Pearl District was perfected by their Avocado Toast with Cherry Tomatoes and Basil, I must write to up their ratings. I needed to eat with no coffee. After searching for a good place for some healthy food, this place was one of the recommendations on Yelp. As I perused the photos uploaded by the previous diners, I was convinced that this place would be IT!! I was the first customer for the morning as I arrived at 7am sharp. I was warmly greeted (and that is the start I wanted!) The display of all sorts of baked goods were right in front of me which I was compelled to take a photo of while I was paying attention to the lady (who greeted me). Like I already stated, I simply couldn't think of anything else besides the Avocado Toast. There are three ways to enhance your avocado toast: 1) Olive oil and lemon zest, 2) Roasted cherry tomatoes and basil and 3) Bacon and sunny side egg. The lady said all of them are equally good so I went with the middle one: Roasted cherry tomatoes and Basil. This ended up being a really good choice. It's a GOOD size/portion for the price. All the ingredients tasted so fresh and delicious. They didn't overly season the avocado. To be frank, I felt that I could use a little more touch of salt but since I hate salty foods more than typos (lol!) , I went as is (don't you hate the feeling of being thirsty after eating something with noticeable amount of salt? Yuck!) The shop is quite roomy with ample amount of tables/chairs (both high top seatings and low top tables.) Decors on wall are simply just right to create the perfect ambiance for the type of coffee shop it is. This is definitely a place for some healthy food especially if you want to avoid fast food places. It's centrally located in Portland's Pearl District, walkable from other places within. Enjoyed it!

    Coffee And Smashed Chickpea Sandwich
    Steve A.

    Came to get a light lunch at this bakery in the Pearl District. It certainly wasn't the best one we had been to, even in that week alone, but it has some good things about it. Lovejoy gets its name from the street it's located on. Has a lot of what to expect. There's coffee, cookies, pastries and more. Basically it's more like a bakery than a restaurant, but there's a few tables inside. It's got many customers who get things to go so they have counter service. The orders are placed at the counter, and if eating here they bring the stuff to you. Lots of breads and pastries in the display case. They also have the full menu. It's about $3 for coffee. There's a few non dairy milk options. Basic. It's about $10 for a sandwich. Each of us got the Smashed Chickpea. This has chickpeas, pickled onions, and roasted red peppers. Happens to be the main vegetarian choice. This was good but for sure wasn't anything fantastic. For a local bakery it's okay but it could be a lot better. It's located on NW Lovejoy Street between 10th and 11th. The menu includes a few things for vegans and vegetarians.

    Great food amazing service and the pumpkin chia mocha was amazing definitely coming back!! :) 10/10 recommend

    Decent coffee shop, some seating (inside and out) and common pastries. Could be good to work here or meet someone from a chat. Grabbed a few lattes and an almond croissant. The croissant wasn't super fresh and I wish I would have asked them to warm it up at least. Okay spot for a AM coffee.

    Breakfast burrito
    Olive M.

    This would be a perfect spot to come and read, work, or just relax. The windows let in so much light. Solid, very filling burrito. The burrito is definitely mostly potatoes, which makes it feel very heavy on the stomach. It was overall very salty, which is what I happened to be craving at the moment but for someone else might be a bit too much. A little on the pricey end, but that can be expected of the area.

    Lila C.

    The food was surprisingly delicious and great price! Everything we ordered taste good, big portion with real ingredients. The chai tea was really good, I can taste the chai really worth the price. Nice friendly service, cozy open environment with beautiful view of the city street. Would love to come back again!

    Espresso, Latte, Avocado Toast ($8.25), Breakfast Burrito ($9.95)
    Wendi K.

    Cozy cafe located in Pearl District. Great drinks, a beautiful pastry display, and fresh sandwiches / breakfasts. Avocado Toast ($8.25) - fresh and lemony, on hearty seeded sourdough. Just wish the bread had been toasted and that there was more avocado. Cardamon (+.75) Latte with Oat Milk - the latte art was so beautiful and the micro foam was perfect - I just do wish the cardamon flavor was stronger. Order at the counter and they bring food out to you.

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.

As i approached the building, I noticed that it was full of people. I fell into the street. I was in and out of consciousness. My heart was racing at the thought that I drove 15 hours and could not get a seat at SCREEN DOOR. As I walked into the building a humble man greeted me. He told me that they would clean off a table for me. WOO HOO. I bursted out crying at the thought that I finally got my seat. As I sat down a soft chair graced my bottom. Beautiful. I looked around and the scenery was beautiful. As I looked at the menu, my eyes sharply turned to the chicken and waffles. Deliciously perfect choice. I ordered my food and got a coffee. My chicken and waffles arrived and I took a bite. I started floating. My soul left my body. I looked down at my body as I floating away, I was enjoying every bite. I reached the heavens. A loud voice said "Its not your time yet. Return and enjoy the rest of your meal." I ascend back to the chair and every chicken and every waffle was gone. The servers were SO kind. I got my check and shead a tear, knowing that was the best meal of my life. Over all from kind servers to and delicious food, SCREEN DOOR was an awesome experience. SCREEN DOOR deserves a 5 star, however I am going to give it a 5 star. I loved every moment. Thank for read my review. Love you.

The inside is gorgeous. The walls are painted various shades of greens making it bright and gives off a soft and natural feel. Given I was dining solo, I decided to seat at the bar located off to the left. It seats 12 comfortably. A big plus for me are the seats. They had a high back and are super comfortable. I could see sitting for hours gabbing with friends. Nice upbeat electronic music played in the background. Loud enough to hear but soft enough that you can hear who is next to you. I ordered the Omelette du jour - Three egg omelette special with bacon, spinach, caramelized onions, gorgonzola and blue cheese. It was fantastic. The first thing that hit my palate was the blue cheese and caramelized onions. Delicious combination. I was happy to see that the omelette was overflowing with caramelized onions as I love them. The accompanying roasted potatoes were cooked perfectly. I also got an espresso martini to wake me up and give me a buzz to start my day. Upon first impression, if I lived in Portland, I would come here weekly. I could see this being the place for brunch with girlfriends to catch up over cocktails.

Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers.

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.
