Coffee Shop · 28 tips and reviews
Alley Hector: Super friendly service even as hip as it is and the coffee is delish. You have to ask for the cream but they DO have it ;)
Andrew C: Good coffee is a good description. Sometimes the staff seems a little too hip and disaffected for their own good. But you know, good coffee keeps ending up in my hand regardless.
Joey Brantley: Love the design of the shop. Lots of drink options. Chai was super good.
Rebecca Rogers: Cute, trendy, and hip rooms. Stumptown Coffee, and Clyde Commons. No need to leave the building.
Portlandia: This hotel made an appearance on Portlandia as the “Deuce Hotel.” Known for its great décor, it has been called hip, modern, and funky and is located close to many of Portland’s favorite places.
Chet Mancini: Trendy spot in the center of everything. Hang out in the lobby with a Stumptown or hit up their bar. Rooms clean and fun, but beds not most comfortable in the city.
Mark Munro: Trendy spot with delicious, steamy pita bread. The labnah with fried cauliflower and grilled octopus are winners.
Stewart McMann: Order everything..food is excellent and they have some fun cocktails too. Great place though a bit pretentious at times..they open at 5, so if you have early reservations..all food is put in at once
Chris Hayes: Grilled Octopus is great. Decent bottle of wine for 36 bucks.
Serious Eats: This stylish, spacious roastery cafe shares space with a woodworking studio.
Al S: Very spacious cafe with a chic atmosphere. Quality coffee and great pourovers. Some seating, though not as much as you might expect for the size. Come early on weekdays when it's peaceful and quiet.
Arthur Mitchell: Cool venue and excellent coffee that is well prepared.
Joseph Le: Super trendy place with beautiful and delicious cheese plates. Try the Aussie Lemonade too!
John Khuu: Such a cool little spot in town that offer's a great selection of light bites to eat. A fair amount for ONE but for TWO, it's perfect. Probably one of the most aesthetically instagram'able dishes.
Ben Horten: Really delicious cheese selection with great sides and a nice happy hour menu. Can't remember the name exactly, but the sheep's cheese is unbeatable

Joseph Sun: fresh sushi and hip vibe
Joachim Laqueur: The Ika (squid) salad is absolutely my favorite!
Eater: The first certified-sustainable sushi restaurant, the NW location ups the kitchen offerings to include seafood "charcuterie," featuring bites like uni custard and tuna prosciutto. [Eater 38 Member]
Emily Jordan: Great bubbles selection, trendy vibes
Angela Wangela: Try the Beef Pho With Brisket - Complex broth, great price
Sereita Cobbs: Bit too much "Brooklyn" attitude from the staff, but the food is quite good. Go between 4p - 7p and enjoy the Happy Hour menu. $2 plates. Try a bunch if things, but don't miss the shrimp skewers.

Ice Cream Parlor · 129 tips and reviews
Gary Powell: It was just ok, a little over hyped like most trendy eateries here in PDX. The organic blueberry chocolate gelato at Caffe Pallino, right down the street, was better.
Maya D: First time here - extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. We tried a number of flavors and weren’t hurried in the least. Ended up getting the almond brittle - yum!
Neil Dacanay: Dessert after Pok Pok? Hell yes. Can't decide? Go w/ the flight.

Cuban Restaurant · 58 tips and reviews
Grant Kruger: Decent place to go, with unique food options, but crowded, trendy and a bit overpriced as well.
Benjamin Chait: Sandwiches are great. Staff is delightful. Everything on the menu is yummy.
Lisa: The only indoor cuban restaurant I could find in Portland and it is AMAZING. After living in Miami and moving back to Portland, I needed a good place. The empanadas are to die for.

Middle Eastern Restaurant · 32 tips and reviews
Kyle Turman: Food is good, but it’s more trendy than it is tasty. Go to any falafel cart downtown for a more delicious and authentic experience.
Nicholas M.: All the food was exceptional. Menu changes but the beef and lamb casuela and halibut were memorable, veggies great too.
Chris Messina: Decent selection of amari.
