Missing a hub cap, want to donate one...

Beaterville Cafe is very eclectic. It's like walking back into the 50's. If you enjoy vintage cars you'll feel at home here. Beaterville serves Portland Roasters coffee, if you have to wait grab a mug of your choice and serve yourself then go next door and check out the glorified garage sale.
Food here is good. Very reasonably priced. They aren't overly nice here, it's more of a "you eat here because we let you" type place, but I've had mostly pleasant service.

Longest bar

136 NW Ninth Ave Portland OR 97209
Fullers is like one long bar. The only seating is pretty much at the bar. It's a welcomed difference to the usual cafe feel. This gives you the small town, read your paper and talk to the bartender/waitress experience. The food here is not my normal desire (local, fresh, organic). It's your regular breakfast food; better than Denny's though. Prices are low. I don't remember the coffee being note worthy, but not bad either. It's a great place to take your dad who doesn't like all that fufy stuff and just wants to read the paper with his eggs, bacon and coffee. Does that explain it...

Homemade ketchup...

Ever had homemade ketchup? It's interesting, you should try it. If you eat ketchup with your breakfast you'll have to try it because they aren't giving the Heinz's a penny here. Bread & Ink has their own ketchup, how's that for "from scratch."
I have no idea where B&I get's their coffee, funny that I've never asked as I've eaten here several times. I don't know how that has escaped me. It must be ok though, since I've gone back more than once.
This is a very classy cafe. It's a great place for a special breakfast date. The prices are on the high side but not unreasonable (i.e. Cadillac Cafe). The food is good from what I can remember (it's been a while). I do remember they have great omeletts.

Like an English Pub

1538 NE Alberta Portland OR 97211


Helser's is another one of my favorites. They serve Kobo's coffee (I know), it's very good though. They also offer the option of having your coffee with a French press, which you should try if you never have, mmmmm.
The food is excellent. I normally get my usual, eggs, chicken apple sausage and potatoes (now you know my staple). I have tried their french toast, it's wonderful as well as their potato pancakes and eggs benedict, yum!
This is a great little place to meet your friends or bring your kids, they have cute little cups for the munchkins. You will be waiting outside if you come after 9, so come prepared, but generally there isn't that long of a wait even if you sleep in a little. Prices are average to high. It's not a great place for big groups as there is limited seating. Helsers is at portland.citysearch.com

Coffeegirl's layered latte

This is my specialty layered latte. Mmmm.
You can only get this at my home breakfast cafe. Come on over and I'll fix you one.

Take me home, country road to a place I belong...

Mmmmm, this is one of my favorites. This is a new find, thanks to my Stumptown buddy Stephen. And yes of course they serve Stumptown (so does that little coffee shop down the street).
Screen Door prides themselves on their country home cooking. Normally when breakfast places claim they have home cookin, it's a whole lot of butter and grease, not so here. They use fresh and I think a lot of local ingredients (I could be getting my restaurants mixed up sorry) but it's good and fresh and that's what really matters. A lot of the locals in the neighborhood come here so remember the rule "before 9 no line, after 9 takes time." They open at 9AM so don't get there too early.
They have a great "specials" menu with food combinations you wouldn't normally think of but everything I have had here is excellent. I especially like the mushroom scramble and the biscuits and gravy look scrumptious! This is a great place to bring groups as the space allows for larger parties than most breakfast places. Mother's on 2nd and Stark is also a good place for groups.
