jennifer hanNovember 10, 2013a cozy little cafe with the sweetest attention to detail. every table needs an order of the aebelskiver, danish pancakes with dipping sauces. not too sweet and so fluffy.
Sara DNovember 17, 2015Such a beautiful and delicious place. I highly recommend, but advise to not go last minute. Wait times can get long, but it is worth the wait. Bring a small group or date, and be ready to share.
HinaApril 6, 2016Stood out in line for about half an hour before we got a table, but it was worth it! The Swedish Hash, Lost Eggs, and potato pancake were amazing, along with the mimosa.
Kristie WinbergOctober 24, 2014Get the Aebleskiver (Danish pancakes) and you will never want another taste in your mouth again. Pro tip: The half order isn't on the menu and comes with 4.
Long ChenFebruary 14, 2014If you like IKEA Swedish meatballs, then you'll love the ones here. Get a side of potato pancake (like hash browns) and a side order of Danish pancakes (puff balls)!
Serious EatsNovember 5, 2013The spherical Danish pancakes, Swedish hashes, and Aquavit cocktails are just a few of the authentic mainstays on Broder’s Scandinavian-inspired menu.- Bethany DufresneAugust 27, 2016Split a few of the signature dishes and get a specialty cocktail. Pictured and delicious: Aebleskivers, förlorade ägg, tunnbrödscrulle
IzaletteApril 29, 2018The wait was a bit long but the food was worth it. We had the smoked trout potatoes, fika board and the hotdog.
Gehlen ExumOctober 3, 2014Had my first ever potato pancake. My life has changed. It was one if the best things ever to be in my mouth. The breakfast boards are pretty great.
William MullinOctober 12, 2013Amazing and friendly staff. I got the trout hash with eggs. Just do it. If you are a table of one. Let them know. You'll get seated quickly.
Mason WilliamsOctober 28, 2014Lost eggs is the most amazing thing I have had in Portland yet! So creamy and delicious.
Annie ChiuSeptember 10, 2016Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Laid back vibe, fast, great service. Get here early to avoid the wait.

Katie Hilyer HollisterMay 18, 2014This place is amazing!!' Everything is good! But the egg skillet & ebelskeviers are a fav!!! Sunday brunch must!!!!
Anna MorenoJuly 1, 2019Hash was delicious. Services is great. Warm and relaxed atmosphere. Very Portland.
Christian BakerNovember 25, 2015They're doing good and important work here out of a small kitchen. Definitely worth the sometimes long-ish wait.
Jennifer Y.December 30, 2012this place gets packed! but u can wait next door in this bar and drink free coffee. the waiter will get you when your table is ready :)
Mike WalekeJuly 11, 2015Try the danish pancakes, like a cross between a beignet and a cake. The danish mary was very strong.
Blair TownsendNovember 1, 2011Stockholm hotdog, add the shrimp salad the flavor combination is absolutely amazing. Rarely do I feel this content that I want to slow down so I can savor every bite. 1st foursquare tip!
Philip HaaseJune 25, 2014Great good, service was great as well. Server offered some recommendations and I loved it all!
BreDecember 30, 2012Huge fan of the elderflower mimosa and fish cakes, and both are worth a try especially as a late night dinner.
James PotterOctober 19, 2012Come hungry and order two dishes. The imaginative and Scandinavian inspired menu will leave you unable to decide.
Scott AnstettFebruary 20, 2014I wish I could come in every day for a couple weeks to try everything on the menu. The food here is so good.
Chris CampbellAugust 17, 2014Sit at the bar so you can watch them make the food, it's an awesome experience.
Brook ShelleyAugust 19, 2014So many delicious open-faces sandwiches. I especially enjoyed the rock shrimp.

Grayson ScottDecember 10, 2014The Swedish breakfast is terrific, and all of the servers are wonderful.
The Lost Eggs are the best! Just be prepared for a long wait on the weekend.
Whit BreedenAugust 4, 2016Your going to wait, but your going to love it. Someone get the Danish pancakes.

"Amazing! A book lover would happily spend hours in this place. Literally, city of Books & old fashioned note cards and board games. And a very good cafe in the Gold Section. 10/10"
Wolfie - 9.3
"Outstanding espresso drinks! If you're unsure of which espresso to order (they have a rotating menu of two options), ask the barista for a recommendation with your preferences and tastes in mind. Yum!"
Luke Bornheimer - 9.3
"Unique & awesome ice cream flavors and fresh waffle cones. You'll probably spend more time finding parking than you will waiting in line. The queue can be long, but moves quickly and staff are fast."
