Bagel.Basic breakfasts. Bagel or toast mostly.Delicious but small dishes. Inside a bit crowded (covid). There is little space on the sidewalk as well.High pen price.

$7 for a microwaved burrito. People were nice. Coffee was fine. But I can never forgive them for highway robbery of my $7

Their breakfast burrito is so good, warm and delicious, just perfect after a trail run in Forest Park, which is only a few blocks away. I also had a Turkey sandwich and definitely got full and satisfied.No dining in at the moment but there are three tables outside on the sidewalk.

Great rich latte with just the right thickness of foam! Breakfast bagel sandwich was light but filling and full of flavor! Definitely recommend!

Great place to stop for a warm beverage, sandwich, pastry or bowl of soup after hitting the trails. Good vegetarian soup, nice large bowl with some toast. Nice atmosphere, and no judgement for coming in dirty after a nice time in the muddy trails of forest park!

Should say open when ever they feel like it not 7am very inconsistent with their opening times

Definitely decent place to start your day.

This Cafe is such a find! The food was relatively cheap, so good, and very filling. Would come here again and again!

Im from out of town and happened to stop at The Clearing Cafe after visiting the local Bike shop Fat Tire Farm I enjoyed a Matcha and a delicious breakfast burrito and sat outside enjoying the fall colors. Its a small establishment but parking was adequate and its located in a nice neighborhood. I would recommend if your in the neighborhood....

This is my favorite cafe in all of Portland. Everything I have tried there is absolutely delicious. The chai is nice and spicy, and they will add extra cardamon to it if you ask, the chimpanzee smoothie is to die for, the breakfast burrito is excellent, and their homemade granola with plain yogurt is excellent too. Thats all Ive tried so far. I hope they open up other locations throughout Portland !

This is the place to go for incredible food. Really good coffee and the service is wonderful. I’ve gone here with friends and try to bring any out-of-town friends to this café. It’s in a quiet part of the neighborhood and it’s fun to walk around and look at the homes nearby. Seating is comfortable. And clean bathrooms., What else can you ask for.

Perfect local coffee shop. Friendly staff, delicious fresh pastries & sandwiches and they always discount the coffee when I bring in my own thermos!

Neighborhood charm and cozyness guaranteed. Honey cardamom latte is a must-have. Stop by on your way from the trails.

Good prices, conviently located near a great hiking trail.

Stopped in briefly but didnt stay. From online pictures it seemed to be a place to be a place to have a breakfast or brunch meal, but upon arrival could not see any food menus or anyone eating more than a pastry or drinking coffee. There was also very limited seating that seemed to be filled up, which is not a problem, a good sign for their quality of coffee.Just as a note to the owners/managers, if you do serve food having a menu posted or visible somewhere would be great as an indicator, otherwise some editing of the description or images associated on Google would be necessary.

Exceptional cafe serving Willamette Heights - a true gathering place with unsurpassed delights to nosh on. Extra credit goes to the chimpanzee smoothie. Youll feel so healthy afterwards youll need to check yourself or appear ridiculous

Uh, a very nice spot to enjoy a morning or small delight. Staff was kind and helpful.

Never thought I would find a coffee shop where the price for a cup of coffee was more expensive than Starbucks ($2.50 as compared to $1.85). The flavor of the coffee is good.Update: My personal 11 oz coffee cup now costs $3.00 to fill up. Apparently they would rather me use one of their throw away cups. I didnt realize the landfill was low on paper cups made out of fortified paper...non-recyclable.Lose a Star

Good options for vegetarians/vegans: sandwich, avocado toast, and fresh smoothies. One of my favorite places to stop for lunch during the work week.

Went here the other day because I was in the neighborhood with some down time. Giving 3 stars because the baristas working should work on their customer service skills. When I walked in I was not greeted with any hellos or how are you, I stood at the counter and the people behind the counter seemed awkward and uncomfortable, did not make me feel welcome. I was a barista for 3 years and know you should greet each customer. The coffee was okay, I love that they have hemp milk here.

Cute little cafe place for a quick grab. Wonderful device!

Great cafe, frequented by runners and cyclists on the weekend mornings. There isnt a better place to go after a run in Forest Park near this entrance. The cafe has hearty food and delicious coffee.

I spend every Saturday morning here and I see the same people every week coming into the shop. The staff know their customers by name and unless they are slammed, you can always count on being greeted with a smile! I love the rice and beans bowl. The soups are always amazing! Kelley makes the most tender and flaky scones that are super hard to resist. Oh yeah, the breakfast burrito might contain crack because I am addicted to them. I live in NE and there are so many places I could go for coffee and treats, but I still find my way here instead.

Small cafe staffed by professionals. They have odd taste in art. For instance once there was an installation of photos of dental implants or something. They bake most of their own pastries and all the food and drink is excellent.

Ive been coming here since I moved to the neighborhood almost 4 years ago, but it has seriously gone downhill. I love their simple breakfast burrito but today they served it to me like this with no explanation (I cut the good part off) I asked them what happened to it and they said it got stuck. Um, take a cue from taco bell and at least put another tortilla on it. They didnt offer me another one or to fix it...unacceptable.

This is a good place to do something little for yourself - reading a book, having a break while taking a dog for a walk, etc. We had Americano, Cappuccino and small pastries. They all were good. Not pricy at all.

Damn good coffee in a great little spot! Closes at 4 though. What are you trying to do, have me sleep at a reasonable hour?!?

Love places like this. Charming street. Great quiet place to grab a coffee and work or just relax.

Great service from super friendly people. The coffee drinks are very well made.

These folks are great, and their coffees & teas are superb! My favorite lunch item is the creamy garbanzo bowl, pair with a honey cardamom latte and youre set.

Always friendly staff and lovely pastries, as a transit operator, its wonderful to have these folks at the end of the line early in the morning. (Their coffee aint half bad either)

The coffee, the people, the atmosphere, the breakfast burrito. All good things. I adore this place.

Wonderful service and the best baked goods in all of Portland, if not Oregon. The Basque Cakes is so incredible. Kelly is a pastry goddess.

Delicious vegan gluten free bowls! Really super staff!

Great spot! Come here on Saturdays are about 10:30 with a ton of runners. Bout the only time to avoid this shop.

This is our go to neighborhood coffee shop. They are so friendly and make yummy bevvies.

Looks closed, very uninviting.

Coffee tastes good. The pastry was delicious. It was the perfect place for me to stop by and read a book

Great coffee. Staff is awesome too

Get your coffee to go. The coffee is amazing, but the place itself is nothing special. The reviews of this place made me come here while in town and while i was extremely happy with my breve latte, the shop is crowded and small, with little to make it stand out. After the hype I was a little disappointed in that regard.

Bad service and coffee. I used to grab coffee from this place a few years ago. No longer. Stay away, coffee and milk are burned. If you are looking for good coffee, look at a different place.

This is my favorite place. Delicious breakfast burrito. Yummy french press coffee. I can stay at this place for hours and get tons of homework done.

Hipster service, decent tea and coffee. Another coffee shop in Portland.

Used to be a top notch little spot. New owners have raised the prices and switched to cheaper coffee.

Great neighborhood spotSeems like everyone knows everyone in thereGood coffeeSmall number of pastry choices, not a lot of gluten free so I havent had many treats here but I like it a lot

After changing owners in Feb 2018, the cafe has gone sadly downhill. While the general vibe is the same, the new owners switched to bad coffee (del arte- same burnt junk as at the Dragonfly down the street), lost most of the employees who made the place fun, and the pastry quality went from amazing to ho-hum). Hopefully theyll come round to serving proper coffee, otherwise there will be little reason to continue visiting.

Really like this place 2nd favorite coffee shop on the neighborhood hood, so it gets a 4 star review, solid coffee, good espresso, friendly baristas

Great coffee. Midway into a 17 mile hike from Firelands 1. Great spot for a coffee break...

Great little place for coffee and fresh pastries, friendly atmosphere

Always good coffee and the best bagels. Very friendly atmosphere

Great little local coffee shop!

Very nice little café, food prices are reasonable.

Friendly staff get you ready for the day with good coffee and small breakfast sandwiches.

Home made and tasty food! Very recommended

Nice little neighborhood coffee shop. Looks like they have a menu of cooked food but didnt try anything.

Long time fave haunt. Try the honey cardamon latté.

Good eats aaaaaannd good coffee. And the speed of service was exceptionally well.

The breakfast burritos are microwaved. Coffee is tasty

Great atmosphere. Wonderful neighborhood feel and a great place to gather after a mtb ride in Forest Park.

Great pastries and coffee, nice jumping off point to walk in Northwest

Lovely staff, favorite chai on the west side, delicious baked goods, savory and sweet, and always several healthy scrumptious real food choices!

Nice people. Good, fast service.

Great place. Staff seem friendly although I was expecting them to close at 5, they closed at 4 pm which seems very early...

The delicious food and coffee is made even more enjoyable by the team that works there. A true neighborhood cafe.

A little overpriced and not very imaginative, but overall good.

Grabbed coffee to go. Very friendly and fast service, and delicious coffee.

Best breakfast burrito in town.

Fantastic food, pastries and coffee. Our favorite neighborhood spot!

Very friendly, very chill. Tasty, healthy menu.

Blackberry lime cake is heavenly!

Excellent coffee and peanut butter crumble fruit bar thing

One of my favorites

Great place.

I come here for the latte and breakfast burrito. You should too.

Great Ti

Great!!

Start with a café au lait, delicious burritos and pastries Popular with hikers and runners as it is within walking distance of Forest Park.

Super cool place. Not too expensive and super good.
