Midpoint was my favorite breakfast stop in Portland. The Bloody Mary's are fantastic and the food executed so well. It's in a little strip mall and the little diner isn't fancy by any means, but it's a solid breakfast stop. It was so good that we went two days in a row on our vacation. The staff was very friendly and service great. There's a small parking lot on the premises read more

Nice small diner off foster. I was pretty disappointed to pay about $16 for a small burrito. It was good but not for $16. The service was good otherwise but probably won't be back due to prices. read more

This place is so good! The service is friendly and on point! Their food is delicious! Love the stack with mashed potatoes, which is more like fried potatoes that have been smashed. The meatloaf sandwich was amazing! We love it here. Very reasonably priced and great food! read more

We were recommended this place by our daughter. It's nothing fancy but we loved the vibe. The service was good and the food was fantastic. In a city with great places for brunch, this place ranks right up there with them. read more

This place is a gem in the midst of a small strip. It's cozy, food is great, and service is on point. Don't sleep on this place.

In my opinion the best brunch in Portland. The best flavor, the best dishes and amazing atmosphere. Great service and the best vibe overall. My husband and I come here at least 1x a week and have enjoyed most of the menu. We always look forward to coming to Midpoint for every birthday and special occasion to start the day off. read more

Solid classic diner experience. Some of their food items seem simple on the surface, but they execute them perfectly. There always seems to be just the right ratio of ingredients. This is a well known and popular spot in the neighborhood, and you can definitely expect a bit of a wait anytime on the weekend. They open at 9am, and by 9:30 there is usually a wait outside. They do have a good mix of booths and tables and counter space so they can accommodate solo diners as well as modest groups. Pros: great atmosphere, solid food, reasonable prices. Kinda random but I really appreciate the jam being in a squeeze bottle and not having to deal with low quality annoying smuckers packets. Cons: Small parking lot, and sometimes neighborhood parking can also be tricky. Slow service at times. read more

I always enjoy this place! It is hopping, so if you do not arrive early you will wait. Their mashed potato stack is a very original way to eat a spud in the morning! It is a wonderful change from tired hash browns and country potatoes. Veggie and vegan sausage is available - yay me! They also have a variety of cheeses offered in their scrambles.. I had their egg scramble with veggie sausage, chèvre and red onion with the mash. The decor reminds me of the video game "Fallout" - old tin signs (advertising) and tables and chairs from a time capsule. The food flavors run deep - nothing feels plain here. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. read more

Oh. My. God. I am tempted to say nothing about this spot. I really considered it, because it is just that good. But I want it to survive. Come early or prepare to wait! On a weekend I was there around 9:15 and still had a bit of a wait. As I left, I saw it was much, much worse. The inside is cozy, dark, and eye candy - so much to look like. The food? You have to be freaking kidding! I loved everything I had. I had a hankering, so I ordered the chilaquiles. They were too good. Chips could have been less soft or more thick - a little more texture, one way or the other, was needed, but I still didn't leave anything behind. I also had a spicy Bloody Mary that was garnished gorgeously and too delicious to leave behind. Ever since, I've been plotting mu return to Midpoint for their meatloaf sandwich with horseradish sauce. That's the thing about this place - if they offer it, you are guaranteed that it is good. read more

What a wonderful little breakfast spot. I had the downtowner scramble - spinach, carmelized onion and goat cheese - added bacon. Done perfect. Daughter has a potato stack and a coffee drink. Definitely recommend this place read more

Midpoint Food & Drink - Coffee drink - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My wife and I visited for the first time for my birthday this morning and had a really great time. We had seen some negative reviews recently about the server with light pink hair, but we had a great experience with her. Friendly, quick service. No complaints at all. I'm vegetarian and got the 52nd Ave stack with mashed and veggie sausage. Absolutely delicious. Also got some French toast cuz ya gotta live a little! So good. My wife got the Basic and really enjoyed it as well. Tasty bacon apparently! We just moved in up the street and are so excited to have found this place. read more

I've been in twice now, and both times got friendly service and a good honest diner breakfast, that was all vegan. It has personality and a definite vibe, and feels like the kind of place you'll see the same faces over your morning coffee. read more

I've been here twice. The food is good and that's a good part of why you go eat. Good enough that I returned the following week with my friend. The service was really good, lots of coffee refills. On my second time there we put in our order at the bar, then two separate people came in and ordered after us. They both got there meal first. That's not a problem, maybe theirs was easier to prepare. Usually you get your order in 5-10 minutes. We got ours almost a hour after the order. I think it took 45 minutes for them to realize we we missed. And when asked what happened the question was ignored. Would I go back? Maybe. I have four other go to places for breakfast. I might give them another try and update this review. I dinged them for not catching the mistake when everyone was served at the bar before us and not let letting us know what happened. I should add that the first time I went there our food came out quite quickly. Maybe this was just a one off experience. I hope so. I may try them again and update this review. After reading a few other reviews I will concur that this place can be noisy though my first time there I didn't notice it as much. read more

Yummy vegan and affordable breakfast burrito. The wait was bit too for either being seated or for the food to come out

Still as good as ever. Monica and her team know how to do breakfast and lunch. Expect a wait on weekends. Get there early if you want the chicken fried steak. read more

Monica!! She's amazing. The food is amazing as well. I recommend the 52nd ave with mash, my go to. The place gets pretty packed on the weekends so be prepared for a wee bit of a wait but It's worth it. Good food, great service, bloodymarys and mimosas. Absolutely love this place. read more

Phenomenal! My boyfriend and I ordered two farmers breakfast burritos, which was the best breakfast burrito we've had all year. We ordered a regular Bloody Mary and a Reaper. I was wishing I had ordered the reaper because it was delicious and not too spicy which I was worried about. They also had poppers on special for $1, which was the cherry on top! Servers were friendly and efficient. I would come here everyday if I lived closer. read more

Interesting eclectic old fashioned bar type restaurant. Loud Santana music , chef cooking in corner area kitchen can be seen, and tables and booths, with at the bar eating too. Food was prepared perfectly, Light and fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy upscale bacon, we both had the turkey type sandwich which had some cheese and garlic aïoli and mine had the Sriracha sauce, both were great!! They offer either mashed or hash browns for the side. Baby red potatoes mashed and fried. yummy. I would come and get a bloody mary and get some great eclectic kind of old-fashioned breakfast or lunch food. Enjoy read more

I really enjoyed my brunch here! The staff was very helpful and our food was delicious. The potato stacks are where it's at (imho) and the red gravy is a must try. Only complaint is lack of espresso and that I wasn't a fan of their drip. Try if you must but I say get a coffee later. Will def be back and can't wait to try more options. Qapla'! read more

I really like this place. The only reason I don't go there more often is because the music is soooo LOUD. If they would turn the music down halfway you could still hear the music and enjoy your food. I was going to go in for breakfast earlier today but when I opened the door and walked in, there was that horrible loud music again so I left. I couldn't even hear myself think. read more

Love the food. Limited menu. Rather loud. I eat vegetarian and I crave their cauliflower breakfast dish. Will go there again and again.

I didn't think there were any hidden gems left in Portland. I was wrong! I met two old friends for breakfast here. The menu was fun and creative. The place wasn't crowded. It has kind of a diner/divey atmosphere, but that is not at all how I would describe the food. Food was fresh and fun. And the potatoes. Oh man, the potatoes. I usually have to think long and hard before rolling the dice on "home fries". Sometimes they are a fresh potato creation and sometimes...they are short and obese French fries posing as breakfast fare. Here, I can't remember the whimsical phrasing they used, but they used adjective to describe their potatoes I had never heard a place use before. Usually it's just "hashbrowns or homefries". Not the case here. Because I was on vacation I augmented my meal (I got a special, it was Mexican-inspired and very good) with a Snoop Dog...which is pretty much a grapefruit gin n' juice. It was great! Just go here. Especially if you're a tater-lover. read more

Always a long wait but so worth it! The chilaquiles and cucumber bloody mary are my favorite hangover cure

This little diner spot had some of the best breakfast I've had in a long time! I got the 205 potato stack and my partner got the scramble that was on special. Every part was cooked perfectly, his broccoli was the perfect consistency, the hash browns were perfectly crispy, we both added caramelized onions that were so tasty! And it had to have come out in like MAYBE 5 minutes! The restaurant itself was gorgeous inside, nice and cozy feeling. The prices were more than reasonable, between the two of us we spent $44. The server was just the right amount of attentive, came by exactly when we needed her to. Overall 10/10 quality and all around experience. read more

Food and drink are SO bomb. Along with that the service is refreshingly legit well done waiting tables. I did for 20 years and you just don't see this level of good service anywhere anymore. All around fantastic place. read more

Eat here every time I'm in Portland and need breakfast. You may have to wait but its worth it. Great every time!

Met a friend for breakfast!! Omg - our food & service was SO great! I ate every drop! I had a perfect Bloody Mary plus the Mt St Helens Potato Stack. Everything About it was delicious including the red gravy which I was skeptical about. Even the slices of toast & jam were so good. I wouldn't have minded if the Music wasn't quite so loud but it was tolerable. I'll def go back again & again! Oh - and the waitress was friendly, funny, fast. read more

Great restaurant! We stopped here for lunch and had a wonderful breakfast/brunch. Great service and great food. Hope to return soon.

It makes me so sad to leave this review since i've loved coming here but I was so put off with the customer service here today 3/24/24. I put my name down on the list at 12:23 and was still not called at 1:10 so I went inside and saw that my name was crossed off when they haven't called my name. I asked the tall person with the short pink hair and she was really rude to me about it. She rolled her eyes and said " i don't know what to tell you i called everyone's names" and walked away from me. I decided to walk away and this is the last time i'll ever be back here. Your food is amazing but please hire nicer people. read more

If you follow my reviews, you know that when our son, Michael, visits, we often explore new places. Two Sundays ago we hit Midpoint Food and Drink. It's humbly hidden just round the corner off of Powell. One of about 5 places in an unassuming, dog legged strip mall, it would be easy to pass by. The groups of folks waiting outside quickly dispelled ideas of "just another old time, meh brunch place". We just got in under the call for the 2:00pm closing time. Whew! I ordered and explored and savored the textures and tastes of the day's special deep fried French toast with blueberry cream cheese, whipped cream (the real kind) and berries. I didn't lick the plate because my husband was there. The bread was palm-sized rounds, soaked in vanilla French toast dip and then deep fried to a crisp delight. Between the rounds, a large quenelle of the blueberry cream cheese contrasted the crunch of the toast and was a bit melty but still cool, again contrasting the warm toast pieces. Unneeded but welcome, a dollop of whipped cream offered the sugar hit that made the syrup totally unnecessary. I didn't touch it. And the scattered, fresh berries added tang and brightness. All the food moans and sighs. Bill and Michael ordered different variations of the potato stacks. These were hash browns to perfection - you know, they're potatoey inside and golden (not old oil overly brown or inconsistently singed, browned, or barely crisp) outside. The other ingredients in the stack were deftly cooked to done. The chef obviously works to maintain the integrity of all the produce used. Excellent places have wait staff that authentically serve, show pride in their coworkers and in the food they produce. They make you feel like you belong. Check. Memorable places offer interesting specials that entice you to go down that road less traveled. And you're happy you did. Check. Places you appreciate are those that prize quality over absurd quantity. You can eat the entire serving without feeling like you could compete in a Miss Manatee competition. And prices are fair. Check. We will return and even talked about who we'd bring there - always a nod to how much we enjoyed it. Find your way to this Portland gem. You'll thank yourself and then you'll make plans to go back. read more

$6 breakfast sandwiches and $2.50 for refillable Marigold coffee. There is usually always a wait for this place but we came at 9:20 on a Saturday and got seated in 15 min. Really great food, awesome prices, cute ambience, good service. Loved it! read more

Such a great local breakfast spot and some very good prices. This place is definitely worth the wait and visit. Love the vibe and everyone was very friendly. Started of my breakfast with a nice mimosa. To eat I had the vegan stack which had cauliflower, mushrooms, roasted garlic, spinach, and fire roasted red peppers, served on top of potatoes, topped with Siracha tofu sauce, guacamole and green onions. I am not vegan and I would definitely eat this everyday. It's was delicious. They did a great job seasoning it because it had good flavor. We will definitely be back soon. read more

So good! The jam on the table was even good. We ordered the fried french toast because wtf even is that? But it was really good. Also ordered the chillaquilles scramble was okay but i think chillaquilles made with fried egg on top is superior.
