The coffee is fantastic. The croissant taste buttery and delicious. And the most important thing that they don’t just serve you; but the actually talk to you, ask and start small conversations.
This is so important in a business that you leave a mark. Thanks for a coffee well done and for being so friendly. I highly recommend it.

Owner response

We're happy you had a great time and enjoyed your food! We appreciate the support.

My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat after they landed at PDX, our food was ready quickly, the staff was friendly and prices we're reasonable for being at an airport.
It is located next to the exit point by the C gates glass doors and southside ticket counters.
They also offer a variety of grab and go snacks too.

Owner response

Thanks for the review! We're glad you stopped by and grabbed a bite to eat.

I GOT FOOD POISONING FROM THIS PLACE! I had a very unpleasant experience with this establishment.
Yesterday 08/13, I ordered the mac and cheese dish and observed that it appeared to have been left out for an extended period.
The noodles were excessively dry and hard, the bread crumble lacked its usual crunch, and there was very little amount of cheese sauce.
The meal was so horrible that I couldn't finish it, and the small portion I consumed made me terribly sick.
Roughly ten minutes after consuming it, I began to experience stomach discomfort.
This discomfort persisted through the night, leading to a restless sleep and a full day of feeling unwell, which also affected my work performance.
Due to this situation, I was not able to eat anything today and just have been feeling miserable the entire day. In addition, a lot of the tables across the long bench were dirty and the staff didn’t seem to mind that at all.
I do not recommend this establishment and strongly advise against visiting it.
I’d give zero stars if I could Update: on Wednesday night (8/16) I started to feel really really sick, with an extreme stomach pain and non stop vomiting.
I had to visit the emergency room as the pain was unbearable.
