Great food in a relaxing environment

by iamb at Citysearch

I met a friend here for lunch. The place is very comfortable with high ceilings, inviting seats and a wall of interesting magazines that guests are invited to share. I had a perfectly prepared soy latte while I was waiting for my food. At lunch they specialize in sandwiches and crepes. All the items are named after historic literary figures.

I ordered a crepe with spinach, mozzarella and caramelized onions. The crepe was incredible served topped with creme fraiche. I also had an excellent house salad for $2 extra.

I can't believe this place only has two reviews. I highly recommend it and hope I get back to the neighborhood to enjoy this cozy little Portland space.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: None

Exceptional for a hipster joint!

I had the Truman Capote crepe: Brie, pears, crushed walnuts and some kind of heavy cream. Let me tell you, this was absolutely divine- the best crepe I've had, ever. Service was above average for a place like this; meaning: for a hipster joint where the waitress is also the bartender, there is no attitude, and she actually works her butt off. Great selection of mags to read, too. I'm going back.

• Pros: Food, service, atmosphere, reading material
• Cons: only been there once, but none so far

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. I LOVE IT!

I found this place two weeks ago and am embarassed to say how many times I've been back! You can spend an entire day there, espresso in the morning, crepe or panini and wifi at lunch, and wine after work. The service is great and if your alone there are a ton of good mags. Love it!

• Pros: Stylie but relaxed
• Cons: none
