I walked out, on a Saturday at 12:40. Why you ask? The place normally has great food. I just wanted a turkey sandwich. It was 2/3 full, and everyone had food. The Server at the counter, informed me that "the kitchen" needed a break, so I would need to wait. There were three tickets on the counter. It would have been nice to be offered a beverage. After almost ten minutes standing there, I left. I'm guessing the owners don't care, there is no Manager, and they are under staffed. I'll tell everyone I can find about my experience. What is happening to the restaurant scene in Portland?? read more

Great little breakfast spot in NE. Stopped in for breakfast today on a friend's recommendation and loved it. I got a breakfast burrito, which was the size of Kansas, and a large Café au Lait, also huge, and loved them both. The burrito was generously filled with eggs, beans, etc and the home fries were the perfect kind of crispy on the outside with just a little zing of spice. The folks at the counter were very friendly and the food and coffee came out amazingly quickly. A great experience and a great place to grab breakfast if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Beautiful large and comfortable dining space. Easy wheelchair accommodations. FAST delivery of delicious fresh food. Order at the counter then find your table inside or on the dog friendly patio. Clean and convenient bathrooms. It's a delightful neighborhood eating establishment. read more

I walked out because the barista talked with a super slow vocal fry and said to wait outside because she was dealing with people sitting down. She wanted me to wait outside with my dog. I understand that my dog isn't allowed , but we were just coming inside. Instead of taking my order so I can wait outside she told me to just go outside so she can take care of her other customers. I used vocal fry back and she goes Wahhhht? Like I am just leaving lol. My dog seems more competent than her. A good laugh for me honestly. Never heard someone talk like that in person. read more

VERY SLOW service in 2/17. Looks like someone didn't show up for work today. Food is very good. read more

Great breakfast scramble. They have tofu substitution for egg. Quick service and great staff. The seating areas are nice and can fit larger parties. The coffee is very good too. read more

Great, real food and excellent service! I had the rose pistachio latte-delicious. I was able to order à la carte at very reasonable prices.

We just had a fabulous breakfast here. Don't be fooled by the simple menu. The flavor is great! The potatoes are delicious and the scramble was so good - I recommend the ham. I had some really tasty looking specials as well, and they have gluten-free bread and vegan options too. The line was long when we got in there, but we were in and out in less than an hour. They're really on it. read more

Are there twice and their scrambles were great. My kids also loves both of their meals. And of course, serving Stumptown coffee was a plus.

Our go-to neighborhood spot, New deal is consistently consistent. They serve solid regular offerings as well as special scrambles which I always get, it's always good. Coffee is Stumptown. Mochas are excellent and staff are always awesome. This is one of those spots to remember, after nine takes some time. read more

I live in the neighborhood and it is a perfect fit for it. I took my parents there and they loved it!!! It was a really good some of the best bacon I have ever had it was perfectly cooked just the way I like it !!!!! Also if you have geta pancake or French toast you have to have some of there jelly with it it was some of the best jelly I have ever had!!!!! Overall that food was some of the best I have hade in 2025!!!!! read more

Friendly staff, good food and great coffee. I love a restaurant with a view. I was just passing through but this place is cute

Don't eat here if you have less than an hour. You have to wait 25 minutes to order because they don't want to back up the kitchen. That's great for the kitchen but terrible if you don't have more than an hour. I'll be going elsewhere next time. read more

Great farm style quality food. Wait in line to order, then they deliver to table - no table service but sometimes you just want no frills and good food! read more

Just what we needed -- good coffee, great food. We sat outside in the beautiful back courtyard.

The food is really good! It's always been consistent through the years. I really love the strawberry jelly they have there, I wish they would sell it . The service is great, all of the staff is very kind and friendly, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is calm. read more

I find it very sad as a neighborhood cafe, that the owner would not reach out or respond to my post. There is no service to acknowledge. I wanted to give this business the benefit of the doubt, to come different days and times. I don't understand why I was treated so poorly, several times by the front of staff. I just went through the reviews and the negative reviews were exactly like my experience. Sad read more

I was really hoping to like this cute local cafe better. It's got a great vibe, are comfortable to hang in and are friendly and I especially like their commitment to social values. But I wasn't thrilled with my breve latte and I ordered the Farm Scramble with Black Forest Ham BUT without mushrooms (as I just detest this flavor with eggs, but love it elsewhere) and lo and behold my order came with mushrooms! Yuk! The eggs were cooked perfectly and they did ask if I wanted a fresh plate, but I don't like to waste, so I picked out the mushrooms and actually liked the rest. The home fries were PERFECT and I cheated and had some homemade strawberry jam with my biscuit, which was delicious. Daughter had a bacon grilles cheese and really enjoyed hers. All in all NDPDX was good, not great, but we do support local, so keep up the vibe. read more

Absolutely ideal spot on NE Halsey for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or tea. There are plenty of items to choose from their menu, and the many we've tried are both ample and delicious. Very friendly, cordial service. Booths and tables inside as well as out on the street. New Deal Cafe is a perfect spot for a meeting over cups of coffee or tea, or just sitting by yourself while working on a laptop. No loud music or TVs. Very clean and safe. All the staff continue to wear masks. Open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays. read more

My husband and I ordered the same thing, special scramble as a burrito, I however did not get my burrito at all, instead just a small pile of eggs a and some potatoes... really looks and feels like less for than my husband got in his burrito.... I'm sick and tired of restaurants failing to do their one job: make food to order. Wasn't able to come back and complain, because all the doors were locked by the time I got back. I guess I can't trust anyone to make my food.... Really sucks. read more

New Deal Cafe - Not a Breakfast Burrito at all.... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Really good ,I live really close so it is a great little local restaurant.I do not personally like the breakfast burritos, but the pancakes and sausage is super good ,if you have baby there is a little kid area ,of the restaurant so overall pretty good ,I would recommend it. read more

Went here for breakfast with a relative. The service was fine, nothing to write home about. The food was average, water was available for free. The prices are average. The restaurant was clean. I would go back again. read more

This is a great neighborhood spot! The food is good and consistent. The service is awesome and it is a low key place to hang. My only flag would be they pour too much orange juice in the mimosas. But it is still one of my favorite spots in the city. I'm glad it lasted through the pandemic. Also it is very clean and inviting. read more

If I could describe this place in one word it would be homey. Tucked in the corner of a pretty residential area. Definitely a neighborhood place. Lots of street parking available. Mainly picked it because it has both indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of benches and tables in the back area. Staff was friendly and helpful and didn't try to rush my very indecisive group. I ended up getting an egg scramble with chicken sausage and a latte. Food: portions are large. Very easy to split an egg scramble with someone else and be full. Perfectly cooked egg, no dried bits or puddles here. I normally don't like mushroom in things but honestly not sure I even noticed them since the flavors were balanced. Got the savory from the egg and sausage and the sweet from onion and bell pepper. Latte: solid latte. Interesting that they put it in a glass cup with one of the cardboard sleeves but nothing against it. Didn't detract from the experience or taste at all. Definitely plan on coming back if I'm ever in the area again. Highly recommend read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Hubby had tuna melt and I requested potatoes with cheese. Both were very enjoyable. Will definitely be heading back there again. Service was courteous as well. read more

New Deal is a friendly neighborhood cafe with ample indoor and outdoor seating. They offer a wide selection of breakfast and lunch menu items, with an assortment of fresh baked goods daily. The wait staff are always friendly, and visitors pretty much always receive consistent service. I visit New Deal when I don't want to stray too far from my own neighborhood, or I'm looking for a convenient place to meet friends for lunch. My only wish is their menu would change more often. I feel like a little more variety would be nice, I'd certainly visit more often if that were the case. My next comment isn't so much a complaint, just an observation. There seem to be an unusual number of strollers parked in front of the cafe mid-morning each day. Indeed, the cafe offers a great little play area for kids. And the restaurant has ample room for large parties to meet up and chat over coffee. But if hanging out with a bunch of toddlers and their parents isn't your thing, shoot for lunch or afternoon coffee instead. I'm glad New Deal has stood the test of time, it is an asset to the neighborhood. read more

I was in the neighborhood petsitting and the owner told me this place had good breakfast burritos, so I popped over and grabbed one. Big fan! Would love to be able to add avocado but otherwise, all good. Heading back in a few days to try the biscuit and mushroom gravy. read more

Any place that serves veggie sausage is a place I like. I came in on a Sunday morning and there was a line of about 3 groups. You place your order at the front then find a table to sit either indoors or out. They had a pretty sweet covered patio space with heaters but the snow storm took it down. It sounds and looks like they are rebuilding it so can't wait for that to be a cozy spot for brunch. We luckily came on a sunny day so ordered at the front and grabbed a seat on the back patio. Our food came out within 20 minutes. We ordered the breakfast sandwich with veggie sausage and salad as well as the scramble with bacon, potatoes and a biscuit. All of the items were super simple but so delicious. I also appreciated the portion size. It was just enough food to fill you up instead of putting you in a food coma. I loved the fresh jam for the biscuit as well as the homemade hot sauces. They have breakfast and lunch items including veggie options so I can't wait to come back! read more

Great food. Love their bacon and breakfast is great. Eaten many times over the years. Their BLT sandwich with a side of salad is bomb.

I highly recommend. The fruit were so fresh and the French toast was cooked to perfection! Everything was so good would so go back. read more

New Deal Cafe - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Good coffee, friendly counter help, and (scary) fast service... which is kind of the problem. Your food arrives lightning fast and as a result isn't hot or taste as if it's been cooked to order. How could it be? Now I know home fries are made in advance and kept warm until needed, but would it kill them to slap some on the flat top a minute before serving just to add a bit more life to those spuds? read more

It's your regular cafe, nothing different from other cafes. My latte was a bit warm and I like my coffee HOT! And my plate took a while and wasn't hot as well. read more

New Deal is one of my favorite local restaurants. Good quality, serve-yourself-coffee with all the fixings, and yes, they make good specialty coffee drinks and even have a punch card. Staff are friendly and it has a cool coop feel to it. I am frequent visitor for their delicious breakfasts or tasty selection of quality baked goods. They have a patio for those mild days. Parking is hit or miss but you can usually find something within a block or two. read more
