"The couple have a regular table here, are known (and know everyone) by name, and can be found having breakfast almost every Monday. Chase Dopson: “We like the cozy intimacy. We feel welcomed here.” Maggie Irwin admits a sweet habit: “I have a pastry problem. I quit drinking and smoking and — every day — I deserve a little treat.” Irwin also insisted the piece note this self-description: “Irwin self-describes as a pastry slut.” On pastries: “Sweedeedee has a lot of tarts and cakes and — I know these are fighting words — the best cookie in the city.”" - Thom Hilton
"A North Portland breakfast favorite recommended for Spanish tortillas, cultured butter corn cakes, and morning pastries—an essential stop for those exploring the Albina area." - Dianne de Guzman
"This homey all-day cafe’s breakfast menu includes heavy-hitter favorites like corn cakes with cultured butter, a Spanish tortilla with the subtle smoky heat of romesco, and a breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheddar, and spicy mayo. Next to these sweet or savory mains, diners can add seasonal add-ons like the house focaccia or a mixed berry cobbler tart. The wine list is always stellar, for those who want to get the party started early." - Zoe Baillargeon
"You heard it here first: the thing to order at Sweedeedee is the salad. There’s a pastry case for fans of tarts and cakes, but the delicately arranged root vegetables and chunks of cheese cannot get to the table fast enough. For a power lunch fan, look no further." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This eternally beloved Portland daytime cafe has slices of its salted honey pie on offer year-round but also comes correct with holiday pie offerings. This year, diners can pre-order one of their three pies in November: the salted honey pie with an all-butter crust, salted honey custard, and Maldon salt flakes; a pumpkin pie with a warmly spiced pumpkin filling; and an apple quince pie laden with quince jam, apples, and cinnamon. Whipped cream can be added to any pie." - Michelle Lopez
