The Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes in Portland’s Hawthorne District | Eater Portland

"A Hawthorne staple for more than three decades, Common Grounds belongs to a Portland of the past, where coffee shops were places to rest, talk, write, and think. Stepping inside is like taking a trip back in time: The rush slows, the espresso smells strong, and there’s a general sense of community, whether grabbing a yuzu white mocha and a turkey bacon avocado panini with a playful N’Oreo sandwich cookie to enjoy in the main room, on the go, or in the slim alley patio on the side of the building." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
