Editorial Review for J&M Cafe – by Kristin Kaye
In Short
The charm of the farm meets warehouse spaciousness--old wood fridge, Mason jars for glasses and high, wood-beamed ceilings. Brunch is a hit, with an array of fluffy egg or tofu scrambles to choose from. Belgian cornmeal waffles topped with apples and pomegranate are crisp and tender. Sandwiches, salads and breakfasts served during lunch hours are equally bountiful. The Reuben is piled thick with corned beef, sauerkraut, Russian dressing and oozy Emmentaler cheese.

Insider Tips
Look GoodDon't risk looking the rube--bathrooms are in a hallway through the back door. Keys hang by the coffee cups--burger for boys, alligator for girls.
Know Before You GoDuring brunch, coffee is self-serve. Grab a cup of joe while you wait for your table.
When to GoArrive early to avoid the crowds. Waits can be upwards of 30 minutes.
The ExtrasJ&M offers a tofu substitute for egg dishes.

I've been eating at J&M's for about 10 years now. They always come through. It's my favorite place to meet and talk with friends and have a healthy breakfast. Friendly, open, I just wish they opened earlier.

J&M has a short menu, and a simple atmosphere but don't mistake simplicity with a lack of effort. Every item on the menu is delicious and the decor is very appealing. As per Portland's tradition you get your own coffee and water, but this time your water glass is actually a mason jar. You will eat well, and yes, there will be garlic, but we think garlic is fantastic. You can eat breakfast and stave off heart disease at the same time! How fantastic is that?
Pros: The food and the atmosphere.
Cons: The bathroom is down the hall and one of us got temporarily locked out of the restaurant...
