"Vietnamese American brunch spot Mémoire Cà Phê, opened in August, is a collaborative project between friends — namely, Matta’s Richard Le, HeyDay’s Lisa Nguyen, and Portland Ca Phe’s Kim Dam. The trio apply their own twist to breakfast staples; fried chicken sits on an aromatic pandan waffle, breakfast burritos are filled with fish sauce-lacquered bacon and Thai chile avocado salsa, and cinnamon rolls are enhanced with black sesame filling and dollops of marionberry jam. Order an iced Vietnamese coffee topped with egg cream to enjoy with brunch or on the go." - Paolo Bicchieri
