Delicious local cafe established after the owner's waffle food cart did amazingly well. Often a line to wait on weekends, so if you can find a spot at the bar grab it.

This is a food cart. The lines can get long and intimidating, but there is a reason. What do they serve? As they describe, "We serve a comforting and healthful mix of brown rice, black and red beans, avocado, cilantro, olives, Tillamook cheddar, sour cream, salsa and Tali Sauce." Whatever combo you get will be AMAZING. Excellent choice for an on-the-go quick stop when you're fading and need to refuel.

We love this place! It is NOT a theater, really, we swear. It is a very casual restaurant that's lively and colorful and DELICIOUS. You may be overwhelmed by the menu, but if so just ask them for newbie recommendations and they will help you. Get yourselves several plates (they're small) and enjoy.

Dutch Bros is kind of a big thing around here, and it's because they're quick, cheap, and the service is always super friendly. Really, they only hire outgoing, friendly, positive people, so you're bound to leave with a smile. This location is a drive-through only (most are).

Parks & Nature

Council Crest is the highest point in Portland at 1,073 feet above sea level. According to legend, Council Crest got its name because it was here where Native Americans held meetings. This park is a must on a clear day, you can see 4 volcanoes and of course the city of Portland. It's a great 1.5 mile hike from our house, almost entirely vertical on the way there... but, all downhill on the way back!
