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.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasKids' menu items offer plainer, cheaper choices with playful names such as "Goofy Grilled Cheesy" and "Betty Burger."
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
