A great small town dining experience. Milio's is in a repurposed storefront in the old part of Portland, TN. The open space has a homey and comfortable feel. There is plenty of space throughout the place. A well thought out menu gives provides for a variety of flavor profiles. The breakfast bowl was just right for me. Really enjoyed the green goddess dressing, a refressing flavor change. I ordered tea (no green available) and it came tot he table in a separate tea pot to steep. With plenty of water, I easily refilled my mug. (big plus) In Portland, you will have a nice meal at Milo's read more

Review part 2. This is a real hidden gem. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We were debating if the building itself was an old train station it gives that vibe. As for the food it was on point as usual. I got the Santa Fe Omelette and it was a banger! I also got the hug in a mug latte, and I'm going to be honest the name was so fitting, it's my new fav! Well done Milo Cafe read more

The type of ordering makes the service and this place easy to return to. Love siting down and ordering through the app. Despite having hard chairs, coming early in the morning gives the ambience a good calming place for breakfast, however it does fill up by 8am and gets pretty loud. Food is good great original flavors, however not 5 starts due to stoneware dishes and mugs all chipped hence taking a star from the review otherwisewould be 5 stars read more

Been living in Portland for about 4 months now and never got a chance sat wt Milo's until this morning (been here for coffee several times). Today I had the Pumpkin Pie Latte. I had the Cali Bowl subbing the meat for chorizo. DELISH! Since I come from San Diego, I'm a VERY harsh critic of Mexican food. This bowl reminds me of there. It was so great. The chipotle side sauce was wonderful. Guacamole/avocado mash added the perfect creaminess. My dad had the Sample and that was just at great. Will definitely be ordering these again. read more

Been eyeing this spot for a few weeks Decided to head there this morning. The menu has lots of tasty items. Today, I opted for the chilaquiles with verde sauce and added chorizo. Holy heck, absolutely perfect! Great flavor and great presentation as well. Ordered up a side of their breakfast potatoes, which are real and not frozen then deep fried. Service was quick and friendly. I will 1 million percent be back!!! read more

The food is always amazing and this is our absolute favorite place for breakfast! their omelettes are so delicious and I really love their breakfast bowls! Everything that we have ever ordered has been phenomenal! read more

Hands down one of the best breakfast places in Portland. We are very limited to good restaurants and this has to be one of the best. Be prepared to wait a while for a seat, but it's well worth it. read more

The best restaurant in Portland. The food is top tier. We love their coffee as well. The Hug in a Mug is chef's kiss! The breakfast hash and chiliqueles are the best around! Highly recommend. read more

It's extremely loud. The waitress and food server barely spoke up and when you're eating with a family 70's and up, you have to SPEAK UP! No one, even me could not heat them. One of them advised that they could not have strawberries due to health issues and the waitress said "the berries are mixed together and you can pick them out". When the berries came, the strawberry slices were huge and there were only 2.....knowing it would make the woman sick to accidentally eat them, you couldn't simple pick those two out? Really? Great to know you care about your customers. The waitress was literally rushing us out of the place. One of the ladies was still eating and the waitress ask her for her plate! I ordered a BLT and it was the worst meal I've ever had. I are one bite of the sandwich and immediately tasted something tangy. No idea what would have been tangy but to me, tangy when there is Mayo, that tells me it may be bad so I attempted to eat the bacon separately. It was SUPER salty. The potatoes had a very strange flavor so I paid $13 for 4 bites of food. We were never offered any refills but did get them when we finally got her attention. It's simple to say I will never go back to this place again. It's the second time I've tried them and both times were horrible experiences. read more

All the food we have ordered here has been very good. It takes some time to get your order, which is fine as it's made to order and fresh. The service the two times we've been here is lacking. Not the friendliest. Both times has been uncomfortable waiting for someone to acknowledge us, while several people are behind the counter, some busy, some standing there. No, I'll be right with you, etc. Both times we didn't have a wait once we were acknowledged. This time my husbands meal came out and mine quite some time later? His meal growing cold waiting on mine. Waitress kept looking over, but never came to explain why the wait? Service is important too. read more

Milo's is absolutely amazing in all aspects. Their food is delicious and creative. The service is almost always spot on. The environment is cute, welcoming, and cozy - located in the heart of a small town. The coffee is fantastic as well. Wonderful place to eat for breakfast or lunch! The only downfall is they close at 2:00 PM. read more

I don't believe they have a bad choice in the menu. Everything has been excellent so far. I have eaten there multiple times.

Coffee shop that serves breakfast all day and lunch. We stopped for lunch, not many selections in Portland. This was a very good selection. My daughter and I got the house burger. There were several selections but we were on the mood for a burger. The second good selection. They were very respectful and delicious burgers. Good bun, hand patted meat, good tomatoes, lettuce, house sauce, very good. Potatoes were grilled home style dices. Would have been great with onions and peppers grilled. Should have asked about chips, if they were hand made or bagged, listed on menu as "kettle" chips so assumed they were bagged. Service was very good, wait staff attentive and manager came by the check. Several customers but not crowded on a Tuesday lunch hour. Will definitely return and recommend. read more

I don't know what I was expecting when I searched for breakfast places in the small town of Portland, but this was not it! It has a very clean, modern, family-friendly vibe. The breakfast menu has so many options for being a fairly-small cafe. I had the Hello Burrito (minus the meat) and it was stuffed! The house potatoes had a lovely herb blend and were cooked very well. I would absolutely come here again. My only complaint is that I am seated at a window bar (which is really quite lovely) but the barstools are very narrow and not comfortable at all, even for a small person like me. But I loved being able to enjoy watching the street outside! read more

My husband went in and ordered for me so I can't give you a full experience, but from what he said, it's worth checking this place out. I highly recommend the California Brunch Wrap. It's so so sooooo delicious that I'm thinkin I'll go back tomorrow for another one lol. The girl helped my husband out when he tried ordering me iced coffee by askin him what I liked. It turned out so good. The potato's are sooooo good too. Basically, this is worth checking out! 10 out of 10 recommend. I'll be goin back a few more times before our vacation is over. read more

Milo Cafe - California Brunch Wrap - Cafes Near Me - Portland, Tennessee

Great variety of options! Food has been delicious most times we have been in. The coffee is great! The main greeter is not friendly or welcoming at all. Makes for an uncomfortable atmosphere. It is missing the friendly, welcoming environment you want at your go-to local restaurant. The waiting area is confusing for new people and the greeter doesn't speak to let you know what is going on. read more

Love love this place! Great coffee, service and food. It is a hidden gem up in Portland! I try and eat there every week so support small business. Highly recommend read more

Gather the family, hop in your car and type Milo Cafe in your phone and get going! I've traveled around the world and enjoyed many meals.

Incredible breakfasts! When the food came out, just looking at it you could tell it was prepared by a chef. Beautiful presentation and delicious food. The potatoes are perfectly seasoned and cooked. The coffee.......may be the best coffee I've ever had. Very fresh and super hot! read more

Food was good. The temp could have been a little hotter. We did have a party of 11. The caramel latte I had was great. Waffle was on point as well. Service was good. Had to ask for a side of ranch twice, but other than that very friendly. read more

They have the best burgers in town. The monti Christo is amazing. Coffee is the best in Portland.

Stopped here for lunch. Cool little place off the main road; good looking place, clean. Ordered the Milo Burger and potatoes. Great burger, no frozen mess here! Even the lettuce was fresh (usually I'll take this off, but this was perfect). The bacon on the burger was thick cut and great. Potatoes were also the real thing, great flavor. Limited hours, but for breakfast or lunch we'll worth the drive! read more

Milo Cafe is a diamond in the rough. If you want great coffee, good, and friendly service stop by.

Myself and my family love this place! We usually place breakfast orders here at least once a week. We have never had an issues with the food or service. Over the last 2 years or so, during the pandemic, our order have almost exclusively been through the app for to-go meals and drinks. The coffee shop side of this restaurant is also stellar and has provided us with excellent food and beverages. I highly recommend trying this restaurant/cafe if you live in the area or are just visiting. read more
