Editorial Review for Tin Shed Garden Cafe – by Bonnie Martin Fazio

In Short
Breakfast and lunch are served in a cozy, pet-friendly dining room with wood tables and neutral decor. It adjoins a large outdoor patio with a huge brick fireplace surrounded by an herb garden. Breakfast is the star. Scrambles include combinations of veggies with sausage, ham or tofu and come with a buttermilk biscuit and potato pancakes or cheese grits. Lunch features burgers, salads and sandwiches with ingredients such as peach preserves on a cold-roasted chicken.

Know Before You Go

"Spontaneous music happens," so proclaims a sculpted-metal sign on the wall above a set of floor-bongos, a guitar and some other gear. With several musicians on the serving staff, it probably wouldn't take much to coax a brief performance out of one of them.

The Tin Shed's breakfast burrito has an ingredient in it that's not listed on the menu -- the sweet, sweet taste of dreams coming true. The food was delicious, there were options to suit both herbivore me and my carnivore boyfriend, the wait staff was friendly in a casual, non-patronizing way, and the wait was no worse than you'd find at any decent-plus restaurant in Portland. Which is to say, I did have to wait 25 minutes for a table. But damn, if that burrito wasn't worth it! I will be heading back soon.

My boyfriend and I frequent the Tin Shed, usually for Sunday breakfast. I love their biscuits and gravy and the fact that there are grits on the menu. My boyfriend is a vegetarian and there are tons of tasty option both for him and me, a dedicated bacon lover. Even I like their house made veggie sausage. I've also eaten there for dinner, which is good, but I feel like breakfast is where they shine. The only downside is the wait on Sundays. Get there early. I think the longest I've waited was 45 minutes.

Pros: Breakfast, serve yourself coffee, covered patio with a fireplace

Cons: Long waits for breakfast sometimes
