Review by Carmine N.

Nom Cafe captures the essence of cozy mornings in Portland. The breakfast menu is a delightful array of choices, with the shakshuka being a standout - spicy and flavorful! The kyufte and eggs were beautifully paired with a fresh salad, making for a satisfying meal.

Although a few dishes could benefit from more seasoning, the homemade garlic butter was a lovely addition. Fast service and great coffee enhance the laid-back atmosphere. Perfect for a casual brunch or solo dining. I’ll definitely be back for that chai latte! ☕
