What People Are Saying About Cup & Saucer Cafe

In Short – Granted, the brightly painted walls in this eclectic, artsy eatery are covered with unpretentious art, but it's still a diner, complete with Formica tables and hearty breakfasts, which are served all day. Breakfast classics include French toast, pancakes, home-fried potatoes and specialty omelettes. For lunch and dinner there are simple sandwiches, soups and salads.
i pay to sit where i want to
by decernment
I was there on Friday September 11th for lunch. The place was less than half full at eleven thirty. We asked to sit in the inner room and at the window. The rude man doing the seating was clearly irritated that we didn't want to sit next to people in the outer room. He took us to a far table in the corner away from the window and said "you will have to sit here".
We had requested a table that sat four by the window as it was the only one open in the inner room. He gave us a small two person table. Later, he seated two people at a four person table.
There are too many good restaurants in Portland who, especially given the economic climate here, will be glad to see me and treat me as if i am the one paying to eat there.
- Pros: food is good.
- Cons: person seating was rude
blueberry pancakes are good
by kanino
the original c&s is the better one. blueberry pancakes are good, as are most of the breakfast items.
my gripes 1)service can be slow, 2) cost. breakfast should not be noticably expensive. why should i pay 9-10 bucks for something i can make at home for about 2 bucks, even after paying retail for raw materials?
also, the expansion c&s over on whatever street just is not as good.
- Pros: good pancakes
- Cons: somewhat expensive
Best Club Sandwiches on Earth
by CoffeeMaster
Cup and saucer has the best club sandwich on the face of the earth, period! It's huge, full of fresh ingredients, and comes with their amazing house potatoes. If I could eat there every day, I would. they also make amazing hot chocolate. The food is only made better by the brisk and professional staff. Many of the waiters have the tattoos, scars, and emaciation of former heroin addicts, but they are friendly, and they do a great job. It just adds color. Add some AC in the summer and a few fly strips, and I would never leave.
- Pros: Great food, good service
- Cons: flies in the summer, no air conditioning
