This morning a couple of friends got together to say goodbye to Meg - (Blog: Bow Ties Are Cool) before she leaves us and PDX for a year over in London - at an awesome little cafe in the SE called - Cricket Cafe.
Highly recommend this cafe for multiple reasons the first being that the environment is totally typical Portland and I love it. A mix of hipsters and DINKs (dual-income-no-kids) (a better term for the "yuppy") all come together to enjoy that small town cafe feel in a larger city.
The menu also rocks! They have your basics, eggs, toast, etc. but they also provide a large selection of specialty items e.g. challah french toast and numerous "scrambles" that have poached eggs in lieu of scrambled eggs - at least for some dishes. All together a great experience with great drinks to match.
$$ - They are a little less spendy as Cadillac Cafe but as this post isn't about CC I will dish more on that at another time. So for now I'm going to start the whole monetary rating scheme...$ being cheap and $$$$ being freaking ridiculous (but totally worth it hopefully!)
The service was very good as well - another plus in my eating world. Though our server reminded me of my mom a little back in the 80s...haha but that's cool cause it is totally Portland! Wait...maybe I do like the 80s and 90s more then I think....!
