The Waypost

It's truly a dive bar, but that's what we like :) The food is ok, but the selection is limited. The margaritas are the hidden treasure, do not miss out on them!

We went to see one of our friend's play a show. The drinks were fine, a little spendy for a draft beer but it seems like that everywhere we go, these days. We didn't get any food but it looked and smelled delicious. Overall it was a good experience, they have a beautiful seating area outside next to the bar and they had plenty of seating inside.

I’ve had two terrible experiences at the Waypost now. Most recently I was there for the Sumpp show. And frankly I’m disappointed that this bar would host this act. They had a terribly homophobic parody song and I just won’t support a business that gives someone like that a platform. Before this, one of the bartenders, was extremely invasive about my sexuality and gender. They were drunk on shift. And they made us extremely uncomfortable when they singled us out as our identities. I’m looking for spaces to exist comfortably, and Waypost ain’t it.

The Waypost is amazing. We played a show there this week and Tony was awesome to us. Bar itself had a great aesthetic, whiskey Wednesday was happening and we took full advantage. Southwestern vibe created a great atmosphere. It was a blast! Really couldn't be more pleased with the experience.

Epic Portland dive bar. Down to nachos and hard shell tacos for food. Don't come for the food, come for the live music, rooftop balcony, and cheap drafts. Cool staff, huge band space, strong pours. Must stop on the Williams dive bar crawl

After going multiple times I would have to say I really dig this place. Super Cool vibe. Nice atmosphere. Good food and strong drinks. Even the karaoke is on top of it

This is one of my all-time favorite spots to get a drink after work- the staff is amazing and the drinks and perfect. If you need a place to unwind in a great atmosphere with great people- this is your spot.

Only been here twice, but have been very impressed. Small menu has 3 yummy tacos, quesadilla & nachos, with meat & veggie options. Their speciality is their house-infused liquors. I seriously can't get enough of the habenero lime tequila!! It is so damn good. The patio outside is beyond adorable, with rickety wooden tables and a wild, beautiful garden with a pathway through it (good for keeping the kiddos entertained while you enjoy your drink). Today when I came, the bartender Brian was so friendly and accommodating, I just had to hang out for another drink!

If you're in Portland and haven't been to The Waypost, you're missing out. This place is not just a bar; it's a beacon of warmth and good vibes. Their Waypostaritta is a standout, offering a delightful twist on the classic margarita. It's one of those drinks that leaves you wanting more after the first sip. The bartenders here are the heart of The Waypost. They're genuinely awesome, making everyone feel welcomed with their friendly and knowledgeable approach. As a member of Izy Kactus, I've played here a couple of times. The Waypost is incredibly band-friendly, ensuring everything from soundcheck to the live performance goes smoothly. It's rare to find a venue that supports local music with such enthusiasm. In short, The Waypost is a gem in Portland's nightlife. Great drinks, wonderful staff, and a supportive environment for musicians.

Not a bad place. No one stood up for karaoke while I was there for two hours in the cozily lit but loud (from one persons laughter) space. I had a waypostarita abs beef tacos. Loved the drink's orangey flavor. Tacos were tacos. No options to bring home anything for my vegetarian/pescatarian partner.

Wanted to leave an update to my review for Waypost. I still love this bar as they have the best house infused tequila in town. I do want to give a heads up to the vegetarian / vegan folks out there. They no longer serve tasty veggie friendly tacos, only meat filled ones. They do have chips and salsa (or cheese dip) as well as nachos, but that is about it.

We showed up at 10:30pm. I asked for a food menu. The guy said they had no food but offered some weird doughnuts on the bar. It's now 11:15pm. They are still open. All businesses in Oregon must make at least five different meals available at all times and in all areas where alcoholic beverage service is available. Random food from an unknown source is illegal. Plus not serving your own food. Hmm..

Yep, I'm big into this place. A boy I know moved just down the street, and this become his go-to neighborhood watering hole. I'm happy that he's introduced me. Lots of tequila! They have a good margarita list, though I typically stick with their most typical one, the Waypostarita. It's made with an orange-peppercorn tequila and some sort of orange liqueur. Pretty dang tasty. The other varieties aren't really my cup of tea, but it's good to offer options, right? Oh, and on Mondays margaritas are $6 instead of $9! Taco Tuesday is in full effect, and both the tinga chicken and the carnitas are delicious. I'm not into tempeh, but if you like it, I bet theirs is good. $2.50 on Tuesdays, which is a buck off. There's typically some kind of programming and hanging out at the bar can get kind of loud. But open mic night on Mondays has been entertaining! The bartenders are all really friendly. Good staff here, for sure. The outside area is cute, with a funny little walking path. I'll have to spend more time here in the summer to properly understand it, but I like it! I like The Waypost, I'll most certainly return.

Rum horchata slushie paired with Wednesday karaoke is a winning combo! Drinks were a good price, bartender and DJ were very nice and karaoke is always an entertaining spectacle. If you would not enjoy loud and slightly off key yet passionate renditions of early 2000 classics, come some other night to have a drink and eat some tacos :)

Sometimes you can get to where you want at the right moment. And sometimes you walk in as the band just finished. As is life. Got here after seeing the Blazers wrap up their round one series win. Traffic was crazy and public transit was packed so we took a stroll from the Moda Center. Wasn't awful. Got there and as I mentioned we just miss the band. They stuck around and hung with their friends but that was it for live music that night. But as is life you can cry about it or make the best out of it. We stayed around for a couple of rounds. The played some nice toons. The beer selection was pretty good. And I dig the low ceiling. Gave the place a real authentic feel. Wish I caught some live music but I still enjoyed myself. I'd imagine you would too.

Fun medium sized dive bar with super friendly bartenders. Also, they have two slushie machines - few of their whiskey Cherry Lime Ricky did me in that night! Most patrons order Montuckys or PBRs so service is quick. They serve food as well but I didn't try so I can't speak to that. I was there for the first time for a friend's band playing, so it was a $5 cover for live music that night. Check it out if you need a laid back place in the neighborhood!

Love The Waypost! Great margaritas and a fun vibe. I wish the patio was a little nicer, but it's all good. We went to a comedy show here and it was pretty fun! We've also gone to a few local music shows and they were also great. I like the overall atmosphere and the drinks aren't too pricey.

First visit ever! It was great but wish I had been there for happy hour 3-6pm I believe. Love Yelp!! Check in and $1 off $5 spent. I got chicken tacos without sour creme. Those tacos were not small and fully loaded! Totally worth the price! Although I didn't buy a margarita; they have margarita Monday's $6 and spicy nachos $6.

The WayPost is Way Cool. Cozy ambiance, slightly dark, like a cool party basement - I've seen people in the early hours (2pm ish) with their headphones and their PC just chillin', cheerful groups gathering for pints and a chat, craft cocktails being served, and a friendly vibe from patrons and staff. I bellyed up to the bar and had a local IPA in a mason jar. I had just the one, but was tempted to stay. Cute bartenders with charm. They host a lot of acts, music, and others. I do want to try their brunch sometime. Something for everyone here. I didn't see one typical group: it was all ages, types, I love that variety.

Remember the fun, fun days of basement shows? You can have that here, and a patio, and brunch, and competent bartenders. What's not to like?~! Part of the Waypost is literally a basement to an old wood apartment building. It could be dangerous to live in those apartments with a bar and a basement show every night! They do close the side patio early for noise with that reason, but the front tables on Williams are open nights for the duration. The evening food is simple. They do a good job on drink specials. The brunch is the food star. The Waypost has a good network of musicians for their basement shows and it is a gathering point for community groups in the dill pickle club and zine worlds. It's a fine unpretentious neighborhood bar for the close-in bike crowd.

This place is one of my favorite bars, the staff is always super upbeat and happy to see old and new faces. (Antonio you're a star) They actually have some pretty tasty food and the vibe there is very community and friend forward. You could say cheers Esq. It's usually not super packed, and hopefully this review doesn't change that aspect too much, but I can't not say good things about it. Also who am I to think what I say has any influence over people? That's pretty lame haha. Anyway I love it particularly for Wednesday nights because duh karaoke y'all. I went there last night and while I'm sure I sounded terrible and probably made a fool of myself because I decided to drink like a ton of fernet on a basically empty stomach beforehand and then continue to drink whiskey once I got there, it's all good because I had fun and I'm gonna try and forget that I was a donkey on stage because there's plenty of other things I don't remember sooo. What is this my journal? Yeah, come here for good food friendly staff and super awesome theme nights, they also have trivia and live music which is purty cool. BTW I don't support over drinking in establishments or in life because it's really dumb, I was having a bad day yesterday and didn't make great decisions even though I knew better, it all worked out fine, I walked everywhere cuz at least I'm not that stupid and I live in the area, drugs are bad mmkayy. Yelp is my diary.

Friendly staff, delicious nachos and has a weekly trivia night. Excellent customer service. Highly Recommend.

Went for the inaugural Surprise Party Theatre and found a great place to hang out when I'm in the area. Comfortable and inviting, feels like you are hanging out with friends. I was feeling a bit head-achy when I arrived and it was cold and wet outside, so I decided to order a lovely Hazelnut Hot Chocolate ($3.25) to warm up and relax. And for nourishment I selected what I believe was called the Small Planet ($6). After scoring a Willamette Weekly from the well stocked book shelves, yes there were real books to choose from too, I sat at one of the tables and was soon joined by a friend. In no time the nice guy who took my order brought out my selections. I was delighted with a lovely plate that consisted of fresh sliced carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, two different types of hummus and a small serving of fresh avocado, all accompanied by a toasted bagel. Everything was good, the Hot Chocolate was just right in taste and temp, decadent and satisfying. And all of the veggies were great tasting, sweet, crispy, fresh, really tasted farm fresh, the tomato was so good I'd love to know where it came from. The entire evening was a success and I look forward to having a good excuse to be in that area so I can hang there again.

The Waypost combines my two greatest loves. Mexican food, creative cocktails and live music. I came to see a friend play a set here a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the 1. good sound system, 2. dope tacos and 3. house- infused liquors!!! Definitely a genius venue. I appreciate places like this. Makes me remember why I'm in the music/food industry. Love The Waypost!

Real great place besides the obvious smell of mold. The burrito bowl I had was great, ambiance was swell. Drink menu was slamming. However, the stench of mold is obvious

Awesome little dive bar, good food, great drinks and awesome local live music! Great ambiance!

A decent spot to drink on Williams. Plenty of space, but it sure gets noisy. This place seems to maintain a loyal group of followers. I was expecting some top notch cocktails, but wasn't overly impressed with anything they had to offer. They have several house infused liquors, and they honestly were not all that either. Not bad and in no way was I super disappointed, but just not anything to get your hopes over. I will say I enjoyed the live music they had to offer on a Friday night. I stayed for 2 different sets and both provided nice vibes and added to the atmosphere. I would certainly consider coming here for live music. And finally, while I can't comment much on the food, I will say, WHERE WAS THE GUACAMOLE?! For a place that has tacos, tex mex, and chips & salsa, I thought surely I could snack on some guacamole.

Saw my favorite concert here!! Such a cozy vibe but a fun one at that! The mudslide I had was delicious

First of all, this is a neighborhood joint. It's not a destination bar that the "in" crowd travels across Portland for. That said, I found it when I lived right around the corner, and now that I've moved across the city, I still drive back here because everything about it is perfect. The food here KILLS IT. So good. Mexican influenced, always fresh, filling, tasty!!!!! The beer selection is small but good, the cocktails are unique and great! The staff is quirky in the best way. There's usually live music that is actually fun to listen to, and the décor is southwestern-meets-hipster-meets-india... Fun and quirky just like everything else here. I love this place. Always feels like I'm going to a friend's house for drinks. I'll trek here from wherever I live because it will always be my favorite neighborhood bar!!

Service- you're lucky to be there Food- you should've brought a bag lunch, the tacos I had were honestly the worst tacos I've ever had in my life. Beer- Decent. Bartender acts like it's an inconvenience to have to look at you or answer any questions.

I dunno, I just like the vibes of this place, man. Easy going place with live music every night, occasional trivia, private patio, killer margaritas and living room lamps hanging from the ceiling. Discovered this place in a meetup group for free art Sunday's and I've been back a bunch. There's a bookcase with boardgames and books to chill out with and subtle western vibes to aid the name. A good place to chill no matter the day or time.

What a quirky and offbeat place. We were there on open mic night and there were some...interesting acts. We opted to sit outside. Definitely try their house-infused liquors. We had the strawberry sage brandy and the honey ginger bourbon and they were sooooooo good. We had them straight, not in a cocktail. Bartender was great. Very helpful. Also check out the vending machine. Highly entertaining. The location is the only issue. It wasn't super safe after dark. Go with a group.

Funky little cafe/coffee shop/music venue with eclectic decor and a laid-back, bohemian vibe. Had the Curry Tofu Scramble and it was really good. It had an earthy, wholesome flavor with just the right amount of curry spice. Filled the gap perfectly! There were a few interesting microbrews on tap, and a good selection of quality tea. Also noticed a cocktail menu. Purchased a cookie to go, and it was yum!

They have the sweetest bartenders. Always something fun happening, be it trivia, open mic, or shows. Everything that goes on here is so genuine. Best bar in Portland!

First I'd say this place is more about the music and atmosphere than the food and drink. That being said I had the plantain (in the bowl-version rather than taco) version. The bowl itself was tasty, the tortilla chips on the side I left sitting there because they didn't taste like anything. I ordered a margarita it was middle of the road good. One thing I disliked is the bathroom smelled like curry and the funk of 1,000 hippies, maybe because they store mops in there? All that being said I would go back to hear a band play and get a snack and a beer but I'd time my bathroom visits to go to other nearby establishments if I could! :)

Killer bar with amazing live music. The habanero margarita is amazing. One of the few remaining classic Portland bars...so much so it was featured in Season 3 of Portlandia. You are lucky if you get one of the coveted patio tables adjacent to the Fargo Forest/Garden. Can't wait until the next time I go back!

I'm going with 3 for now. I would have gone 3.5 if you guys would let me. Because I do indeed like this place.. but am I a fan? Maybe not yet. But maybe I will some day soon. The location is cool. The parking is non-existent. The layout is interesting... A small room at the entrance with 4 tables, allows for quieter conversations. The main area has more tables (some are picnic tables, I think). You kind of feel a bit exposed in the middle, but it's a social and festive feel. The bar is to your left - fairly wide, but sometimes there's not much room to stand. There's also a stage up front to accommodate live music - which is cool. But we were there to talk, and once the place got crowded, it was hard to hear, and just forget it once the band starts. There is an outside smoking area in the front. No heat, sadly, but it's pretty friendly and usually crowded there. The drinks aren't as cheap as I like during happy hour. I got the special drink on the board - a "fruit salad", it was $6. I didn't really like it. But I took it back to the bartender and asked him to add a little ginger ale and cherry juice - and all was solved. They were very accommodating and quite sweet and willing to chat. My friend had a hot cocktail. I didn't much like that either... But they have quite a few options on the menu and I will go back to check out some of them. We didn't eat there, but I must say that whatever I smelled when I walked in smelled divine! I wish I knew what it was. So, this place is cool... I wish it was easier to sit and cheaper to drink - but I'll be back.

It's taco Tuesday and I arrived hungry. Ordered tacos. Literally the TINEST tacos I've ever encountered in my life. 3.50 usually 2.50 on taco Tuesday. It's one growth stunted corn tortilla taco with about 3/4 oz of filing. I checked in with friends who had been there longer and they agreed with me so it wasn't just a fluke serving. El Nutri on Alberta has two tacos for 1.75 that are also way better. I don't know what is going on here. Had to leave because I was a hungry hippo but also wanted to spend money on booze. Seems pretty stupid to have small tacos ever considering how cheap they are to make.

I like this place. I just don't love it. Let's start with what I like. Their cocktails are really good. I had an old fashioned and a hot toddy. Both were great for the price. Their food was pretty good too. I ordered a plate of happy hour nachos for $6, and I feel like I got about $30 worth of nacho. Big heaping plate with chips, cheese, salsa, etc. THAT is what you should get when you order nachos. I know I'M not kidding around when I do. The ambiance is overwhelmingly hipster, but I feel like you expect that. There's plenty of space and comfy couches everywhere. There's even a patio that's open when the weather is good. The one thing I do not like about this place is a pretty inconsequential and judgmental thing, but I really don't care. In my experience, the staff is SO HIPSTER PRETENTIOUS. Like, to a degree that makes me post about it in a review on Yelp. Some people don't mind that, but I do. Mainly because it's stupid. So The Waypost is getting two stars for the food, two stars for the cocktails, and one star for the location. I'm subtracting a star because of the bartender's haircut and outfit. He knows who he is...

Awesome live music, great tequilas drinks. We got the hibiscus tequila infused cocktail recommended by bartender who was super cool. I had a blast!!

On my actual birthday, I went to The Waypost. I had a Groupon burning a hole in my pocket, uh smartphone, so I decided to give the place a shot. The food was decent enough. I had the plantain tacos. The tacos were nice and spicy how I like. I only wish you got a bigger portion for the price. My Groupon deal was for 4 "infused' drinks. I was thinking something fancy. My friend said "girl, all that means is a mixed drink." Oh. ha, ha! The restrictions with the Groupon deal was that you could only pick drinks listed on the chalkboard behind the bar. There weren't that many options. I decided to try the cucumber vodka just to be different. Ick! My next drink I got the jalapeno spiced something tequila. Now, that was better.... The staff was okay. The thing about The Waypost is that it's symbolic of what's wrong with Williams Street. The pushing out of a poor/working class community of color for new middle class white residents clueless about the neighborhood, or know but don't care. The Waypost will probably be a place I will never go to again because it was hard to be inconspicuous. Also, when I showed the bartender my Groupon, he made sure to click the "redeemed" button on my phone. I guess he was trying to make sure my black/brown crew didn't come back. Just joking. Well, half joking ;) P.S. It's a small space so grab a table quick when waiting for friends.

This is one of my neighborhood spots. I wouldn't call it a vegan place though. I'm vegetarian and I can only eat a handful of items on the menu. Let's be real though, I go there for the booze. Some of the best prices in town. One bartender can get a bit grumpy if he's in the weeds or you have a Groupon or! in the weeds and you have a groupon. Yeah, I was that guy once and man was he pissed at me. Only other con - it gets hot as hell in there in the summer. Better get there before post work happy hour or all the outside table will be gonzo. Pro in the con, the outside seating is in a local garden. Sorry smokers, you gotsta smoke those American Spirits outside of the garden.

i really jive on this place. it's classic portland hipster yes, BUT they have a super chill vibe, lots of table space community seating style and they make a mean drink. music events here are intimate and highly recommended in my book. all in all it's charming, small and perfectly suited to the vancouver/williams corridor! love it. it'll be competing for some of my time at vendetta now :P

The Waypost is my favorite. I know, I know - that's cheesy. But I found it while meeting up with some friends over at People's pig. We all ended up here instead and the bartender gave my friend an old fashioned that he raved about. I go there all the time now. It's the one place I can hang out at that feels relaxed (that and the goodfoot). Plus, their tacos are legit amazing.

Man, I honestly don't have anything to say that hasn't already been said, but I had to give it the five stars it deserves. I was a little hesitant to come here because I can get intimidated by overly hipster places, but this place has a very unique, comfortable charm that is welcoming to all. I love the ambiance, the patio, the cocktails, and the tacos. They also seem to play all the music I want to hear just when I want to hear it. Great place to bring your laptop by yourself and work, or a date, or a group of friends. They also serve some of their cocktails in mason jars, which I always heartily approve of. Mmm, masony goodness.

On a bright Portland Parkway, Cool wind in my hair, Warm smell of espresso, rising up through the air- Up ahead in the distance, ...I saw a sweet cafe sign, My head grew heavy and my knees grew week I had to stop for awhile. There she stood at the counter, Pouring a beer, and I was thinking to myself Thank God I made it here, Then she poured me some water, and showed me the way, There were voices from the chairs outside, thought I heard them say: Welcome to the Williams Waypost, such a lovely place, such a lovely place... plenty of food here at the Waypost, Anytime of year, you can find pork here... This great little coffee shop has good food (ham on a bagel, so wrong, but so good!) good coffee and all the charm a cafe should have. I was biking up Williams flagging and there they were- an oasis of charm and smokey pork goodness. I do not often come that way, but when I do I know my coffee stop will be here.

Awesome little place! Prices are OK, but the service is super friendly. Great music venue and a lot of fun when bands are playing.

The bartender wasbso helpful and attentive! I thought the place was 100% vegan, but he told me it wasn't in a very kind way and proceeded to tell us about all of the vegan options on the menu. We ordered the nachos without cheese (per his recommendation) and they were totally delish! Super friendly place with lots of candles. Love the vibe here! Great service!

This place is the closest place to your home that isn't your home. You could literally hang out here all day and feel happy about it. Great food options, great drinks, friendly staff, low-key vibe, wifi.. I mean the only thing you're missing is a bedroom. I like hanging out here when I'm in almost any mood- tired, wanting to read, wifi, with friends, outdoor patio hang out... it really has it all.

What a lovely little place. As close as I live to The Waypost, I'm surprised I had never been. At first it can be a bit confusing to get into the place since their sign hangs above the door for the neighboring business, but one of the workers was sitting outside having a smoke and informed me of my mistake. Apparently it happens relatively often. I was happy to see that they offer a variety of Foxfire teas, which I'm a huge fan of and I tend to have a hard time finding them. I ordered the lemon myrtle tea, which was served promptly and courteously. After a few hours of sitting their with my face buried in my laptop, I got hungry and ordered one of their gardenburgers and some of the spiced beet soup. The gardenburger wasn't really a gardenburger per se, but more of a gardensandwich. It was still quite delicious, though. The beet soup was amazing, and didn't have that gross overbearing vegetal flavor that beets sometime have. Anyway, I'm a fan of this place and I'll definitely be back sometime soon. They just need to fix their door labeling!

When given the choice to pick literally anywhere in Portland to head out to and grab a beer on a week night, I'll always pick the Waypost. The crazy thing is I can't really explain why. Maybe it's how cozy and low-key/unpretentious this place is. Maybe it's the great prices, the food (far more satisfying than your average bar menu), the clientele (I note many regulars here) or the overall atmosphere... but something about this place just does it for me. I'm glad places like this still exist in Portland.

Went in the other night for sandwiches and beer because of all the great reviews on here I was expecting a great sandwich...not the case. The food was boring, and lacking in flavor. The beer was good, as was the ice tea, but the bartender was kinda defensive...so we didn't bother to stay for a second round. Lots of bike parking, and a great location. Outside garden area is great and has seating if you don't mind the smell of the compost bin.

Nice quiet place for a drink or brunch. There is a outer area with a couple of tables, chairs, shelves of books and board games. In the main area are tables and bar. I had a great experience just having brunch with a friend. I had a bloody mary and a breakfast burrito. We sat there for a couple of hours and started indulging in some of the local beer from the tap. After a walk around the neighborhood we came back, sat on the couch and had coffee. It was a Saturday afternoon, there were many people there with laptops having a drink and writing papers. I had great customer service and will be back

I spend a good four days a week here and they don't mind one bit. The folks who work here are friendly and helpful. The sandwiches have all been good, especially the one with hummus and carrots and they all come with a side of carrots, which makes me especially happy because if there are chips on the side, I will eat them. Wifi, comfortable chairs, quiet in the days. I've never been at night, but they're often playing movies or shows like Fishing With John and always serving beers. Plus! In the loo there is a place for drawings and collages: you can take one and/or leave one of your own. Also, cheap comic books.

I don't think there is any other place in Portland that holds so much magic that it streams out of the front and side doors and flows into the street and side garden. COZY POT PIES are my life bread, and their signature drinks are my reason to live on. If the lights were any more enticing I'd think I was still in my bedroom at home, except surrounded by the best folks and always running into more friendly faces every time I am about to open the door that keep me sticking around for more. Sometimes I get so comfortable I leave my jacket, but I don't notice until the next day when it starts to rain as I'm walking by, so I'll stop in and pick it up.... Or it's just an excuse to say hi to those who work there... Love you guys, thanks for being the most inspiring establishment in all of my world.

Starting a life in Portland was not easy. The only place my wife and I could find to spend our first few nights here was in the backyard of a wonderful family who we found on craigslist. Not wanting to be in the way, we woke up on the first morning, walked a block to Williams and began to head north. We passed the Waypost, but since they don't open til 10 (their one downfall) we didn't even notice the place. However, the patio for said coffee shop/bar has three picnic tables, and then a wild garden. Next to the garden is a sign encouraging people to turn abandoned parking lots (like the garden we were looking at used to be) into food! Brilliant. Because of this, we waited til ten and chose the Waypost. I don't even know where to start. As soon as we walked in, we felt like we had found our place. I briefly noticed the amazing beer selection (I'm not from here, and am still shocked by the amount of places that serve good beer), but decided on coffee and some kind of breakfast. Both were phenomenal. The person behind the counter was more than kind; she made us feel like we were regulars or were visiting our aunts house. Coffee was great (and featured a free refill), food was great, and no one bothered us when we hung out there for a couple hours and both pooped in their comfortable bathroom. While there we noticed the chalkboard with weekly events. They all seemed pretty amazing, but that night was a Workaholics marathon. Needless to say, my wife and I went back- before ever going anywhere else once, we had been to the Waypost twice. We weren't disappointed. It was a small, close knit, group of people watching this marathon. Instead of a breakfast sandwich, I got some bomb curry and instead of coffee I had a few IPA's. Its been a few weeks now, and there hasn't been a three day stretch where the Waypost wasn't visited. If they opened earlier than 10, I would be there every morning for coffee and breakfast. I've tried multiple dinners, multiple breakfast, coffees, teas, and a bunch of their revolving beers and have never once been even slightly disappointed. Finally, the staff - especially Antonio - are all pretty amazing (seeming) people. I can't wait to spend more time here!

If you can promise a Variety Show, complete with "Cowboys, Tap Dancing and Pretty Girls," have people line up halfway around the block and run out of tasty pancakes 38 orders later, chances are you're a hit, folks. This can definitely be said of The Waypost. The cafe is quiet, open and comfortable. There's a schedule of Coming Attractions on the wall, snuggly couches & a music library to peruse. I found this super enticing and comforting having travelled from San Francisco just to see something awesome. Our barista was nerdy, friendly and helpful. We chatted about the best places to eat donuts, awesome comics and an upcoming Waypost menu with dancing pancakes (rough draft). All in all, if you're looking to chill back to killer tunes, chat with some awesome peeps or rock an amazing Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin, you've got the right place. Oh, and there's Stumptown Coffee. That is a pretty big deal.

I almost don't want to rate it so high..It's the best hidden gem,but it's pretty freaking rad so I have to share. Chris is a super awesome bartender! If your'e a pretensions hipster you probably won't fit in. Good Vibes Only!
