TwentySix Cafe

I've become a regular here since moving to the neighborhood, loving it!! Today my card was declined for some unknown reason? So I'm writing this review as a thank you to the kindness of the staff that I experience every time I go:) They still gave me my usual breakfast and allowed me the trust and the grace to pay next time I visit<3 Please *don't* see this review and try to take advantage of their kindness and, Please *do* see this review as a reason to support a friendly neighborhood coffee shop:) It's been a highlight of my Portland experience! Especially buying breakfast and taking it to go, eating at Irving Park, a short enough walk down the street to allow my drink to still be hot when I arrive:)

This place is amazing the people working here are very friendly… I’m from out of town but I felt welcomed like a neighborhood regular. I feel like looking at the other people here really gives me some insight into the culture of cool looking people in Portland 🎉 it’s probably not cool to say that but just being real.

Stopped by here today for a Sunday breakfast, TwentySix Cafe is great! They’re currently set up as patio seating only and have a really nice set up in front of the cafe that spans a few storefronts. A lot of effort has clearly been put into the seating area, complete with varied table options and sections that offer different amounts of coverage from the sun. The patio is also covered, making this a great place to stop by rain or shine. We ordered through the doorway of the cafe (which is now operating as the counter) where a nice assortment of baked goods were on display. The cafe was busy but not overwhelmingly so, creating a lively but relaxed atmosphere- this is clearly a well loved spot in the neighborhood. We ordered some bagels (one with Lox and the other just cream cheese) and iced coffees. The bagel selection was solid and the bagels themselves were a great mix of crunch exterior and soft, chewy interior. The bagels were also very well stuffed (sometimes cafes can really skimp on the fillings, which is not the case at TwentySix Cafe) and the coffees were also very tasty. We were served by Naomi who was very friendly and helpful; as more customers lined up and placed orders she had the task of juggling taking orders and passing out the finished food- Naomi did this incredibly efficiently and made it look quite easy. I would definitely suggest this spot to anyone coming through the neighbourhood. While you’re here make sure to walk by the wishing tree (a block north and on the opposite side of the street to the cafe) and continue on to the nearby Irving Park- a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning.

I was a visitor to Portland, and did think that there was much beauty and many interesting restaurants. I also noticed that everyone gave seemingly automatic 5 star ratings to any restaurant that was eclectic, and a bit "hole-in-the-wall". OK, I don't do that. Sitting on a rough wooden outdoor table with wooden benches automatically disqualifies that 5 star rating. The food was good, service was fine. But I won't seek out this cafe the next time I'm in Portland. 5 stars should be reserved for unique, great dining, comfortable restaurants. There is no 3.5 rating available, so I gave thus restaurant 4 stars.
