The Most Anticipated Portland Restaurant Openings, Fall 2024 | Eater Portland

"This cheery cafe will offer light fare for breakfast, lunch, and happy hour, with morning coconut milk–based smoothies, topping-laden yogurt bowls, and espresso drinks made with Upper Left Roasters coffee; sandwiches on Dos Hermanos bread (including a breakfast sandwich of egg, pepper jack, avocado, and salsa macha) served pressed or cold for lunch; entree-sized salads such as a kale chopped salad dotted with dates and goat cheese; and an owner, Riley Riotto, whose background as a yoga instructor informs the cafe’s spirit as a community space for post-Forest Park hikes or shopping along NW 23rd Avenue." - Janey Wong
