Dog-friendly spot with American brunch, covered patio, & dog menu
"One of the more popular brunch spots in northeast Portland, this cafe is a favorite among dog owners for its little dog dinner of chicken and sweet potatoes, as well as an add-on dog dessert of bananas, peanut butter, and yogurt. There’s a covered patio as well as an adjoining one with umbrellas and tables, and customers can buy a Tin Shed doggie bandana knowing the proceeds will go to animal rescue groups." - Michelle DeVona
"Listed as a classic, more traditional breakfast option for visitors seeking standard Benedicts, scrambles, and reliably classic breakfast fare rather than innovators." - Dianne de Guzman
"The patio at Tin Shed has always been a breakfast hangout, even pre-pandemic: Neighbors would help themselves to mugs of tea or coffee, tucked away on Alberta, while awaiting piles of eggs over cheesy grits or raspberry jam scones. Expect things like topping-layered potato cakes, biscuits doused in bacon gravy, and vegan-friendly tofu bowls, served alongside libations like pineapple mimosas and coffee drinks from a full espresso bar. Dogs are also welcome, with their own curated brunch and breakfast options like chicken thighs with sweet potatoes. EARLY BIRD" - Zoe Baillargeon
"Catering to kids of all ages, Tin Shed serves bright, flavorful American-style dishes at family-friendly prices. Kids breakfast plates range from cheesy eggs and potatoes to sourdough French toast, with vegetarian options like tofu, greens, and grits; during lunch, plates of grilled cheese and quesadillas are accompanied by carrot sticks or chips. Tin Shed also offers Crayon coloring and a selection of small toys for little ones. The key is to visit during the week or make a reservation on weekends." - Rebecca Roland
"In the old days, Tin Shed was one of Portland’s longest lines for brunch; today, the all-week brunch spot remains a neighborhood haunt, whether it’s for fluffy biscuits and jam or piles of scrambled eggs. Those willing to brave the morning wait should try one of the restaurant’s stacks: egg scrambles over grits or potato cakes, often smothered in mushroom gravy." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
