Beautiful dishes, DELICIOUS PANCAKES! I got the Eggplant Polenta Benedict and it was really good and my kiddo got the pancakes and loved them. The smoothie was also delicious. The staff went out of their way for us and you can tell they love and respect their locals.

This cafe in Multnomah Village seems to be owned/run by a Persian family. We visited on a Sunday morning. They have Stumptown coffee so the coffee is solid. Our waitress was on point! She remembered customers and their coffee preferences. That's so rare nowadays. I had a very delicious eggs benedict and asked for my hollandaise on the side because I've encountered more hollandaises that I haven't like than ones I have, but this one was very good! I used it all. We'll have to come back but later in the day so I can order one of the specials. On the particular day we visited there was a special with I wished it wasn't so early so I could have ordered one of the specials with tahdig rice and shirazi salad yum!

For a Sunday brunch I was so surprised this cozy spot was almost nearly empty. Upon first arrival the full staff was nice and the food was delicious . Make sure to grab a smoothie to really get that nice juice of nutrients that you maybe missing. They had a special of crab cakes and let me tell you it was perfect of savory and such with the hollandoise sauce. The plates were perfect amount Me and partner can't wait to come back for the food.

Compact, cozy but reliably good breakfast spot in Multnomah Village. They serve legit Stumptown coffee, and the servers are beyond helpful. Excellent selection of benedicts, scrambles and even salads and sandwiches, if you're looking for lunch. My Greek scramble was perfect with loads of spinach, feta and tomatoes. Ambiance is a bit dark, unless you score a table by the window, but a super friendly spot. Highly recommend.

And here we were again yesterday! This time we sat near the back, and I mixed it up by ordering a tasty (but not too filling) waffle. My Son enjoyed his Omelet dish and over a big glass of OJ. Down to Earth is just that.

I have been wanting to give this place a try for a while and finally stopped in for a Sunday brunch. We were seated right away which was great! It was not too busy around 11:30am. Food: 1. Northwest scramble-7/10 the food came out within 5-8 mins which was extremely fast and I liked that. The portion size was perfect for me but might be a little small for someone else or if you are really hungry. The food was hot, fresh and had a good taste (I mean it is a fairly simply meal so pretty hard to mess it up, IMO). 2. Mimosa- nothing too special here 3. Latte- same, nothing stood out about it, average latte Overall 7/10, I would say the service and food was above average. Nothing stood out to me, good or bad, for me it was as just another brunch place in town and somewhere new to try. I will note that the menu is expansive and I would consider returning to have lunch at some point. Also one last note, the restaurant is very small in size and the tables are quiet close together so if you do not like being close to other customers then this isn't the place for you.
