Service with a Scowl

by nailbiter

This used to be my FAVORITE cafe. I've been going for years! But the last few times I've been there I've been disappointed. Today was a very busy sunday, not unlike other weekends I've been there, but the service was dismal. My server never made eye contact and she walked around like an aloof ghost, hardly keeping up with the pace. No coffee refills, no "how is everything?"....

I was a server for years and worked busy sunday brunches, so I'm aware of the stress involved but I was quick and smiley and I made SURE everyone always had enough coffee!

Anyway, I'm done with Utopia. There are many other breakfast places to choose from.

• Pros: good corned beef hash
• Cons: the current wait staff

Great Breakfast

by orderout

WOW what's happening here. Things must be worse with the economy here in Portland than I thought. Utopia Cafe not busy at 10:00 on a Sunday morning. This place is what breakfast in Portland is all about. The food and service can't be beat. I spoke with the owner and she said business is down, down about 30% and she's struggling. Help keep local businesses alive in these tough times. You won't regret trying Utopia or remembering that they're there.

• Pros: Great Service and Food

By the way I understand that was a great little restruant you are working at . Hope to see you there soon. My girlefriend and I love to grab a bite out when we go big city shopping in portland and love the market across the street. Now that we can all see you at that wonderful little coffee shop it will be worth the trip to the big city. I understand from other reviews what to expect in quality of food that you prerare. I know your Dad is looking forward to it, the food that is.

Love as always Mom and Dad
