What People Are Saying About Genies

In Short – Southeast locals flock to this bustling and bright cafe with its polished hardwood floors and mixed red and neutral-toned decor. Genie's offers an egg-centric menu ideal for the protein lover. The creative scrambles are delightfully light, even with mixtures such as tortilla chips, black beans, cheese and spicy salsa. Hotcake lovers should try the blissful white-chocolate chip toasted-hazelnut pancakes--so sweet and delicious they don't even need syrup.

Too cool for me
by Bike Guy
The weekend host is completely incompetent. Go here if you want to be ignored for hour(s) unless you are a hipster. I am a long time Portland resident and this is by far the worst breakfast place I've been to since Denny's in 1986. Actually, that's not fair to Denny's because they have better service...
- Pros: Nice post-Genie's BM! (bloody mary)
- Cons: Worst service ever?

How hard is it to cook a tofu scramble
by dangus
I ordered a tofu scramble after the server was very short with me when i asked if other menu items vegan. What I got was a wet pile of luke warm tofu and beans. There was so much water left in the unscrambled tofu that my sausage and tortilla chips were limp and soggy.
Genies, Tofu scramble is extremely easy to prepare, I would suggest that you take 10 minutes and look up a recipe online (there are many good ones). Then experiment until you find one that is actually worth serving
- Pros: good looking non veg fare
- Cons: i had poor service and even worse food

Burnt food, burnt service.
by ThomasWellington
I used to come here every week, then they changed the service sometime last year. Since then its a miserable place to go for food.
Bottom Line:
Either revamp the service/cooks or close the place.
- Pros: Decent location
- Cons: Service, food.. Everything else.
