Portland Penny Diner
What Our Expert Scouts Are Saying
Our most famous of coins may be imperiled, what with the ongoing debate over abolishing the cent, but in downtown Portland, the (giant) penny isn't going anywhere, firmly ensconced as the proud mascot of this casual corner café. Set inside the Hotel Lucia, Imperial restaurant’s weekday-only sister eatery targets the early bird and lunch crowds, since those who work 9 to 5 desperately need access to homemade toaster tarts, duck bologna breakfast sandwiches, Rueben croissants and frybread-wrapped beef belly “Bun Me” from 7 to 3.

The Paley's second new opening this season (for the first, see: Imperial) is serving up fry bread sandwiches, breakfast nosh, and throw-back soda fountain cocktails for kids of all ages. Where Imperial is dark, historically-inspired, and luxe, the Portland Penny is bright, modern, and laid-back.

Portland Penny Diner packs all the sophistication of Paley's Imperial into breakfast sandwiches with hazelnut romesco, bagel puffs with cream cheese centers, and pickle plates of watermelon and fennel. Experience all the flavor of Imperial without all the pomp.

Banish bleary eyes and morning brain fog and gird yourself for a wondrous workday (haha) with homemade toaster tarts, Reuben croissants and a few rye and praline liquor-laced Cafe Imperials at this creative corner cafe. (Check the company policy on three-cocktail breakfasts first, please.)
