It's a cool quick stop as you walk through this lovely area of town. 3/5 for drinks we got this afternoon, nothing really stood out. Smoothies and Slushies are $8.99 each. I got the Ginger Lemonade, it tasted refreshing at first but you had to drink in quickly as the ice melted away which altered the flavor. I liked the kick of a freshly squeezed ginger. My daughter enjoyed the Berry Rico (Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries & banana, almond milk), not too thick or liquified though it tasted more banana than berries. It doesn't have its own restroom though the staff told me I could use Tea & Tea next door and I did. Tea & Tea restroom provides toilet seat covers. Free street parking around the neighborhood.

The Celery -- Portland, OR…read more Walked in and immediately felt like I should own a fixed-gear bike. Industrial. Clean lines. Slightly edgy. The kind of place where you expect someone to be editing a documentary on a laptop made of recycled aluminum. Late afternoon visit, so the hipster crowd had clearly skateboarded back to their respective creative labs. I had the place to myself. Prime auditing conditions. First impression? This place is built for volume. You can tell. Efficient layout. Assembly-line potential. If bowls were a factory sport, this would be a playoff team. Ordered the Home Grown. Took a quick bathroom break. Came back and -- boom -- bowl was already on the counter. FAST. And it looked elite. Then I saw it. A generous dollop of peanut butter at the top, sprinkled with hemp seeds. I almost got emotional. It felt like flying over your hometown after months away. Familiar. Safe. Right. First bite? Delicious. Smooth. Creamy. Almost like frozen yogurt or soft serve. Easy eating. Crowd-pleasing texture. And then... I looked up. Another bowl was being made. The açaí base was coming out of a soft-serve machine. As a purist, this one hurt. I want hand-scooped. Blender-blade symphony. Crafted, not dispensed. I had a small internal crisis. But here's the problem: I really enjoyed it. So now I'm torn between my values and my taste buds. Would I go back? Yes. Would I wrestle internally again? Also yes.

Proud Mary in NE Alberta St, Portland…read more I was excited to come back home to Portland and hit up all my favorite spots in this week but I had to choose carefully because I wasn't taking on the Portland food scene alone, I'm bringing a friend with me who has never been to the city at all. I needed to set the bar high from day one. Proud Mary on Alberta Street was my first move, and it provided a light but delicious first meal paired with great espresso drinks. (And I needed to set the bar high for coffee in town because this friend own her own coffee shop in LA) This is the kind of place I bring people to when I want to show off what this city does best a casual environment with interesting food that doesn't take itself too seriously, in a space that just feels right. I went with the oatmeal and a side of hash, (a hash that has such a unique texture that I think about it pretty often now I love a unique potato eperince) but execution of the seasonal flavors in the oatmeal surprise me every time in the best way. They pay so much attention to detail of he flavor and presentation and that makes even humble dishes feel more special. My friend ordered the spring omelette and it was simple, it could have used a bit more flavor or texture or even an additional protien source but it was good non the less. When our cappuccinos arrived first, I remembered this is an Australian-owned café. Served with a dusting of chocolate powder the way an "apparently" proper Aussie capp should be. Both cups were genuinely excellent. For vegetarians, the menu gives you real options with actual thought behind them and of course their are so many dishes with meat that everyone can love, so that's a huge win for me Who it's for: first-time Portland visitors, coffee lovers, anyone who wants a brunch spot that earns its reputation. Strong start to any trip. Veg selection | Flavor execution | Value | Staff knowledge | Ambiance

The smoothie I chose had a mixture of strawberry, beet, and peanut butter (YUM!) the service was friendly and after a short wait I got my smoothie. There was quite a few others there and there was some competition for shade & only 3 tables as this is essentially a small food cart so expect to stand in the sun at least for a short time. One star short due to the seating situation.

The staff is consistently friendly, and the drinks come out the same every time, which I really appreciate. Yes, the pricing is a bit on the higher side, but it makes sense given the organic, high-quality ingredients they use. If you're in the area and want something on the healthier side, I definitely recommend this place. It's been super helpful on my current health journey!

I would also add that the food offerings at Pure Green are in stride with how health conscious…read moreindividuals will appreciate. For example, the Blue Cashew Toast is made from cashew butter and one of the healthiest fruits blueberries. As an antioxidant, blueberries are the best of all berries (although berries in general have enormous health benefits). Do the research and you will find people living in the "blue zones" of the world have diets high in Green Leafy Vegetables, onions, mushrooms, particular seeds and berries among other dietary items. It's interesting to me watching parents buy their young kids a pastry or even worse a breakfast sandwich at the neighboring Starbucks when they could be putting nutritious food into their kids bodies instead at Pure Greens. Nothing I have negative to say about Starbucks coffee, they get my money everyday for a coffee drink. But, to see parents serve up a Starbucks' toxic breakfast sandwiches and a Frappuccino on the go to their kids??? It's sad to see that knowing the damage that those foods can cause to a body.

For $12+ I don't want to run out of granola, fruit or toppings with more than half my "base" left. I think there are better deals in Portland.

It's in a space with other restaurants, kind of like a food court. It was really noisy, but there was plenty of seating. We waited about 5-6 minutes before the guy working there said anything. He clearly saw us, said nothing, and continued making someone else's order. Since he was the only one working, some of that is understandable--but saying nothing was strange. It also took him a while to make the acai bowl. It was a bit expensive for what we got, but it was tasty. They use more of a peanut butter sauce instead of actual peanut butter. That part was just so-so, but the rest was delicious. With that said, we've had better bowls from other places in Portland, with better overall atmospheres as well.
