"From morning Danish to evening cannelloni, breakfast porridge to after-dinner panna cotta, Northeast MLK’s Cafe Olli is a haven for gorgeous pastries, char-dotted pizzas, and bubbling pastas al forno, all entering and emerging from the wood-fired oven at the center of the space. Oregon produce plays a major role in dictating rotating menus, though a few dishes have become beloved constants: the simple breakfast sandwich, featuring a juicy house-made sausage patty and a fluffy milk bun; pizza pomodoro, showcasing the flavor of the hearth as much as the tomato and grain in the dough. However, Cafe Olli’s charm is in those fleeting seasonal portraits, from springtime green garlic cavatelli to summery beet salad dotted with Rainier cherries. Dessert is mandatory." - Eater Staff
