This cafe is great for friendliness, affordability, and convenience. Their Lattes are sufficient but not the best in the area and unfortunately the raspberry tart I had was a bit of a let down. It was more whipped cream than fruit and pastry and was mostly just mid. I expected more as I have been here before and have been pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is a classic cafe, very cute and quaint with indoor and outdoor seating and it's conveniently on the park blocks. Good place if you're looking for a quick beverage read more

A bustling but homey cafe nearby PSU. They had SO many options for food - breakfast is served all day too! Service is really sweet and they bring out the food and drinks for you if you're dining in. I once came here for coffee many months ago and it was great. This time I sat down and had some lunch with their chorizo breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! I would totally come back again and again:) read more

I used to come to Park Ave just for their pesto chicken panini (& sometimes the Caesar salad). It is convenient to the PSU campus on the park blocks. The cafe is cute and the service was good. I wish there were more outlets, but I have the same thoughts on most cafes. During this trip the panini felt just okay. For the price I paid, I was a little disappointed. The taste was still good just like I remember, it was just smaller than I remember. I took it to go and by the time I was a couple blocks away it was cold :( Would still go back for the panini, but it might be more of a nostalgic thing for me. read more

Stopped here a few times when I was visiting a friend and it was genuinely the best iced chai latte I ever had. I didn't care much for the ham and Swiss bagel but going for the drinks alone is worth the stop. My friend really enjoyed their sandwiches though so I should try that the next time I'm in town. The staff were super delightful and gave us shopping recommendations too :). The atmosphere is very relaxing making it the perfect spot to relax and sip on some yummy drinks. read more

Starting to become a regular again after a 10+ year absence. The Affogato was a little pricy for what you get. The breakfast burrito had three strikes against it: cubed potatoes instead of crispy hash browns, folded egg instead of scrambled (so the eggs ooze out), and it's very small. A future pass for me. Lovely atmosphere, that's why I come. The young gal tending the register around breakfast was super nice. But the young guy around lunch sports too much attitude. Owner seems nice and dedicated to his business. read more

Park Avenue Cafe - My most often reviewed item, but a pass here. - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

If you're looking for a great place that has bagels, croissants, and great coffee this is it. They are always consistent in the few times I've been here. The only negative is how busy it can gets, but that just shows you how great of a place it is. read more

Cozy little coffee shop. One of my favorites when I'm visiting Portland. Nice place for breakfast and lunch. read more

The service has been pretty dubious the last few times I've been here. The food is ok but not great for the price. I'd still happily go here for a coffee as long as I'm not in a hurry. read more

Usually we go in the morning for tasty breakfast delights, and we have never had this place disappoint. The environment feels like something from France or Italy and the people working here have always been professional and pleasant. read more

Cons: they only have a few outlets by the window/display case. I'm sure the building is old and it would be expensive to install outlets, but the cafe is literally next to PSU so it would be worth the cost. They'd likely get a lot more business just having outlets at every table along the walls. Pros: food is really good and the employees are kind as well! read more

Ahhh. Nothing beats a good cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich! Also, they have free WI FI which is nice if you gotta get some work done. Service is very good. They get your food and drinks out to you in a timely manner. The streetcar is right outside the front door which means this place is VERY accessible by transit via the B and NS lines. When the sun rises over the city and comes through the windows and you hear the smooth jazz music playing as you sip your coffee, I'm telling you. It's a vibe. This place is right by my apartment and I love that. It's a great place to meet up with some friends! read more

Popped in after daughter's graduation from PSU. Great breakfast bagel and nice atmosphere.

Great coffee' pleasant enjoyable atmosphere friendly service. Just a great find here in Portland.

A decent spot for coffee and sandwiches. The inside was very cozy with many seatings, love the jazz music. Plenty of familiar options to pick from for both drinks and food: paninis, wraps, bakeries etc. The drinks that we got, Dirty Chai Lattes and Cappucini, were 4/5 for me. Meanwhile, the food, Veggie Wrap and Turkey BLT Special, were more of a 3-3.5/5. Pretty generic tasting but they totally tried to fancy it up by panini-pressing them, which was nice, making them warm and toasty. Albeit not being mindblowing when it comes to flavors, I really do appreciate the casual vibe that this place has going on. Lovely staffs too. Come check them out! read more

Let me start by saying, this place has a very European vibe, and it is so cute! The food is delicious. We have had breakfast and lunch here. a everything has been exceptional and flavorful. The service is top notch. Every one we have encountered has been so open and friendly. I definitely recommend this place for a good quick bite to eat. read more

Nice place, aesthetic cafe design and location. Their coffee is good quality and rich in taste. However the food lacks freshness and has an off taste. The main reason I subtracted two stars is because of the matcha latte i ordered. I asked if they can sub in oat milk. And received a full cup of whole milk with a small dash of matcha. My friend confirmed it was whole milk. The drink wasn't flavoured and just had a light green tint. Sadly my stomach will suffer. read more

Park Avenue Cafe - :( disappointment matcha :( - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I like the variety available on the menu and the staff is polite and efficient but every time I order a sandwich about 1/3 of it is bare, just bread on bread. The filling in parts that aren't bare are meager at best. read more

I had the best coffee of my life here I cannot wait to come back!!! service is warm and kind, good food and great coffee!! I enjoyed the playlist while I was there :) read more

Been here twice now for breakfast. I ordered some kind of breakfast bagel the first time which was good. This time I got the veggie lox bagel which was really tasty. Also got a cappuccino which was good too. Love that it's right across from the park. This place has a nyc coffeehouse vibe to me, I love it. Prices good, service good, definitely will make a point to come back next time I'm in this area. read more

One of my favorite spots in the city!! Park Avenue Cafe is the perfect environment to get a coffee and do some work or to meet friends. I come here all the time because the coffee is very good, the seating is comfortable, and staff and management are very friendly. I also recommend the fresh fruit smoothie. Overall, I highly recommend! read more

Very homey down to earth breakfast cafe with consistent food and service. Ill start off with, the food is not amazing but it's good enough to get the job done especially with the price in downtown. They have cute patio seating and plenty of seating inside. This place seems to be a local spot, I've been here twice and have seen some of the same people pop in. They have pretty standard breakfast items and the paninis sound delicious. I'd recommend if you're walking around on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and want a lovely breakfast. read more

They don't heat their pastries. It's on a nice plate but I wish it were at least a little warmed if I'm paying for a pastry at a restaurant. Overall everything was fine. There isn't much parking. Everything came out quickly and it looked nice but the restaurant has obvious wear and tear; pencil marks on the walls, scraped, dents, etc. i would be more lenient if it looked like a big project was coming but it looked like basic scuffed paint and a shelf that never went up. read more

Park Avenue Cafe - Eggs Ham, Avocado and Tomato Benedict - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Alright, I am all about fair reviews, but this place really did leave a bad taste in my mouth (not literally). It took me a minute to decide whether or not to give this place two or three stars, but ultimately I chose to settle on three stars because I don't enjoy being mean, and there were at least a couple attributes that could be categorized as positive. The highlights: In general, the ambience of Park Ave could be considered cute from the perspective of the typical consumer. I think they are trying to give the impression of a quasi-European eatery with an emphasis on Illy coffee. It was fairly busy, which seemed like a good sign. We ordered the croissant sandwich with avocado and turkey, accompanied by tomato soup and potato chips. The meal tasted fine and the ingredients seemed fresh. Cool cool cool. The improveables: The meal we had was not memorable. Imagine making a turkey sandwich at home; it tastes fine, it does the job, but you're probably not going to sing its praises to your friends or family nor remember it a week later. Unfortunately, the service was quite disorganized. Perhaps we arrived on their first day of work, ever. Our poor tomato soup was almost forgotten to the ether, and our turkey sandwich was shuttled out to us after almost thirty minutes of waiting. I try to have some level of understanding, especially when a restaurant is understaffed, but I am fairly certain the staffing wasn't the issue; it was the capacity of their staff to keep track of orders. Finally, the entire place felt like their was a thin layer of grease film on everything, and there were multiple tables that boasted dirty dishes for almost an hour. Not a cute look. My guess is that the majority of positive reviews here are from college students or folks with low standards. It does not deliver a solid experience, unfortunately. I will come back to reassess, but for now take my first impressions as they are and decide for yourself if this is the right place for your afternoon meal. read more

Very disappointed with this cafe. I live nearby on park avenue so this is walking distance from me. I went last week for an iced vanilla latte and was excited because of how cute the place was and how legit it seemed (I am a barista) I got my drink and they forgot the vanilla, the bottom of the latte was fullllll of espresso grounds which means they aren't cleaning the porta filters after every drink or flushing out the machine before making another drink so I'm getting parts of old espresso :-/ I decided to try again thinking it was the baristas mistake but the same thing happened only less grounds at the bottom and the forgotten vanilla :/ my sister got a dark chocolate frappe that was extremely watery and foamy :/ sad that I wasted $11 on lame drinks def won't be returning. Giving 2 stars bc the baristas are always very nice :) read more

Unfortunately this place was a huge disappointment. I ordered a Cobb salad through UberEATS and went and picked up when it was ready. I asked for extra dressing and I got a 3/4 of the way filled ramekin of the worst blue cheese dressing I've ever had in my life. The description said there was blue cheese crumbles on the salad, there was not. The description did not mention croutons which I cannot have, and they were on the salad. Also cucumbers were on the salad which weren't listed. Not a good experience and won't be back. read more

Nice looking place, friendly person who took our order at the counter, but service at the table was awful. The young man had no idea where to deliver food even though everyone at the restaurant were all given numbers for our tables when we ordered. My meat omelette was a veggie omelette when it came out, and when the young man brought back the corrected order, he just dropped the plate on the table with sliced ham hastily added inside. The omelette was simply inedible at that point because it was cold. My husband brought it back to the counter, the owner was brusque saying that they were accommodating my request for an omelette and it wasn't something they offered. BTW, it was the owner who offered to make an omelette when I asked if they had them. The omelette was remade and was much better hot but not something worth going back for. The whole experience was so disappointing. read more

I really like this place. They serve authentic italian coffee (Illy) and they have some non-dairy unsweetened alternatives for people with dietary restrictions (like me). They have a nice outdoor seating in front of the park, it is really pleasant to have a coffee date in there read more

Nice cozy cafe with plenty of seating. The coffee is good and the customer service is even better. Sadly the pastries are not good. The croissant I ordered tasted like a Fred Meyer croissant from the 90s. Meh. read more

Not very impressed with the service at all.... I ordered an Italian soda and the employee asked me if the flavor raspberry was fine... I asked him what other flavors does he have, he said raspberry or orange. I just ordered raspberry, knowing I saw that they had way more flavors.... I will never be going back there. If you have more flavors then that.... You should be offering your customers more then just two!!! read more

A an early Saturday morning. I come in and the place has such a nice ambiance. I'm excited to sit down and do my homework. I order a cappuccino and a lemon poppy scone. Both are very good! The reason why I am only giving three stars is because of the way they treated me. When asked "for here? or to go?", I reply "for here" please. They look at me and are silent, surprised that I, a college student, wants to sit down and study. They bring me a paper cup as the rest of the customers in the restaurant all have fancy little mugs. They treated me as a child and had no respect whatsoever. I also saw the couple next to me pull out a hair from their breakfast sandwich (which they still ate?? Yuck!). Would consider returning on a day with better workers at the counter. read more

I have been coming here for a year now (live in the area) this is the third time that I've gotten the wrong order, either someone else's, or my addition to a simple bagel was confused with a whole other menu item. This time, I ordered a breakfast bagel subbing my meat option. I was given a croissant with bacon tomato (?) and egg. I was already home when I realized my order was wrong (my b for not checking before I left due to their history of giving out wrong orders). read more
