Broder Café

Amazing food and place. We had such a good brunch there. The 45 minute wait was definitely worth it. The Swedish pancakes and egg-mushroom dish we ate were both really good. Definitely recommend going here, just come 30 minutes in advance if you hope to get a table.

Absolutely loved it here! Each dish was filling but not too heavy. Fresh ingredients really bring out incredible flavors. I totally understand why this place is so popular— I would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Service was attentive and quick once we were sat down. Theres a wait - get there early to put your group on the waitlist. Nice stores to walk around while you wait and self serve coffee! Orange juice was delicious and fresh, coffee and teas were good. We tried a variety of dishes with the pickled herring and sausages. Recommend the danish pancakes they were cooked to perfection!! We also got the breakfast sandwich, Swedish hash, the lost eggs and two eggs with fruit fritters and mushrooms. My only complaint was that the mushrooms tasted a bit bitter/burnt but besides that we all enjoyed our food.

This place is amazing!!! We've been going here for close to 15 years and we've never had a bad meal. The Broder board is delicious and the different varieties of lefse are fantastic. It can be a little bit of a wait to sit down, but it's absolutely worth it. We will be back for sure.

I love this place <3 The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, noise and tight seating considered. The food is fresh and delicious, truly the ultimate comfort food experience. The service is unmatched, staff here are friendly and helpful. Who doesn’t enjoy being around positive people? Not me! As a typically savory eater, I branched out today and tried the pancakes. They were hot and fluffy with an herby essence to them. The jam & curd were just as lovely. The Nordic bread served with savory breakfast is absolutely amazing flavor and texture wise.

Coming from a Norwegian family, me and my Dad loved having breakfast/brunch here! Great hole-in-the-wall vibe. Not surprising this place is popular!

I have been here many times. Everything was good. Especially the pickles. I love Swedish food. My sandwich was unusually undersalted last weekend. That’s not normal there, and it was easily resolved with table salt. Waiting an hour for a table is always part of the Broder experience. The coffee while waiting makes it worth it.

Broder Café is a must-visit brunch place in Portland! The cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food make it worth the wait. Their Swedish pancakes are light and fluffy, and the baked eggs are packed with rich flavors. (Photography by Yu-Min, Su)
