This is the best coffee in town! And that's really saying something... I've lived in portland my entire life and of all the coffee shops I've been to, this is the one I recommend. Fast, friendly service... and more importantly, great tasting coffee.

This is one of the best bars in Portland east of Mt. tabor. It has amazing southern food, an outstanding micro-brew selection, and a great patio. The bartenders are friendly and the clientel is a good mix of different types of people.

The blackened catfish sliders for $3 during happy hour are worth the trip.

Here's what I had to say about Thriftway in my recent blog post about choosing your grocery store in the Portland-area:

"What they sell: Local, healthy, organic, and specialty foods. Brand names.

The Pros: A hybrid somewhere between New Seasons and Safeway, Thriftway offers a lot of options. You can pick up your favorite brand names and local products all at one store. The traditional supermarket environment without any "membership cards."

The Cons: Stores are mostly on the west side."

Here's what I had to say about Trader Joe's in a recent blog post about choosing your grocery store in Oregon: "What they sell: A wide variety of products. Trader Joe's refers to its products as "a culinary adventure," meaning they offer many foods from around the world "with the high cost of airfare." They specialize in imported foods. The Pros: You can choose from a wide variety of foods, many organic and specialty, without leaving the store smelling like patchouli. Trader Joe's is a good middle-ground for many consumers. Trader Joe's is also privately owned and is known for having friendly employees and offering gourment foods at reasonable prices. The Cons: While Trader Joe's offers some healthy, ethical, and environmentally-friendly foods, they are missing out on the local thing. The company is not based in Oregon and imports a lot of food, moving your dollar out of the state (sometimes out of the country) and producing pollution through transportation."

Here's what I had to say about Food Front on my latest blog about choosing grocery stores in the Portland, Oregon area: "What they sell: High quality, nutritional, organic, and local foods. Organic beer and wine. Free-range meats. Vegan, vegetarian, and ethnic foods. Farm-direct produce. The Pros: Food Front Cooperative is very similar to People's. One additional pro is the fact that they provide information on their website about their suppliers. Another is that they have two locations, in case on might not be convenient for you. Food Front also works with a lot of local charitable organizations including DoveLewis, Sisters of the Road, Friends of Trees, Growing Gardens, and Yellow Brick Road. The Cons: Outside of the fact that the location might be inconvenient for some, I haven't found any cons yet."

Here's what I had say about New Seasons in my recent blog post: "What they sell: Local, healthy, organic, and specialty foods. New Seasons focuses on "home grown" foods and handcrafted soaps, candles, greeting cards, etc made by local artists. The whole concept revolves around keeping your dollars here in Oregon. The Pros: New Seasons is similar to Whole Foods except that they are local and privately owned. They might not be everywhere, but it's not too hard to find a New Seasons. They offer a wide range of products, so it's likely they will have what you are looking for. New Seasons offers online shopping with delivery or pickup options. Unlike Safeway, you don't have to give out your information until you are ready to place your order. They are also active in the community, giving a good portion of their earnings (some even post-taxes) to a large list of charities that are noted on their website. My favorite part, New Seasons makes it very clear where they are getting their products both on their website and in their stores. The Cons: Some products can be a bit spendy, but like Whole Foods, you can easily find things you need at reasonable prices."

Here's what I had to say about Zupan's Markets in a recent blog post: "What they sell: Local, healthy, organic, and specialty foods. Quite similar to New Seasons, except with a greater emphasis on fine-dining than on local products. The Pros: Zupans is local and privately owned. They offer a wide range of products, with many organic and unique products. No online shopping yet, but they're working on it. The Cons: Some products can be a bit spendy, but the Zupan's experience is plesant and it is possible to find some low cost items." Read about more Oregon stores at my blog: portland.blogspot.com

We are very lucky to have these guys move into the Mtn. Park area. Not only do they serve great coffee and ice cream (among other great stuff), they are very cool and have great taste in music. From the first time I walked in I was greeted with a huge smile, a wonderful cup of coffee (at a great price) and a great chat with one of the owners. If you're in the neighborhood drop by, you're in for a treat.

I've been here for several "birthday lunches" with girl friends and have always found the food fresh, delicious and nicely presented. We like eating outside under cover and close to the heat lamps. The inside is dark and cave like which probably appeals to the bar lovers. I'm taking a friend there for a birthday dinner this week. It will be my first dinner instead of lunch. I'm expecting it to be just as good.
