One of the few airport eating establishments I actually look forward to visiting. Great variety and quality, you really can't go wrong with it.

Best coffee in PDX by far. Strong, full-bodied with moderate acidity and a generous crema made on a La Marzocco machine. The food is good and reasonably priced for an airport . Try the croque monsieur .

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

Everything is so good. The veggie frittata is very tasty

Jeanne Pollard

I especially like the winter squash and pear soup ! The coffee is always excellent.

Beth Ann Gallagher

They have a case featuring meal items packaged in such a way that they will pass through security, even tasty salads with dressing .
