I love this place! OK, I'm spoiled because I live yards away, but seriously, these gals brought some great karma into the neighborhood when they took over for Florio. Still serving great Florio pastries but also adding soups, bagel sandwiches, and other goodies along with a wonderful assortment of revolving artists decorating the cafe. They landscaped the front this past year and it is just gorgeous and colorful and homey, and the sisters are so welcoming to everyone who comes in. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that I'm not crazy about the coffee itself - Trailhead. Most folks I know love it though so it's probably just me (and big kudos to Trailhead for their bike deliveries!) I will say I *love* the hot cocoa with the homemade whipped cream on top, the lox bagel, and the savory (mmmmm) pastries. They've been a great addition to the neighborhood!!

Update - 1/16/2012 3 photos

Just wanted to update to say congratulations to Sarah for keeping a unique, beautiful, quiet spot for still the best mocha in town, the fluffiest waffles (mmm, peach...), killer smoothies, and the nicest cafe owner around. Enjoyed breakfast and a book this morning - YUM. Glad to see the neighborhood embrace this spot for almost 3 years, and prove that all coffeeshops don't have to be hipster hideouts. Yay for Elevated!!

Elevated Coffee just moved into the neighborhood and into an interesting location - the new Vanport Square. It's nice to not have to go to Alberta to get free Wifi as well (I live in Woodlawn). Not a lot of traffic yet and it takes riding around to find that the bike parking is not out in the square area but in back by the parking lot. A sidewalk sign both on MLK and in the back would help direct people in, which is deserved because the coffee is GREAT! It's an interesting combination of menu items, but the belgian waffles with peaches is something I've returned for several times. The environment is NOT one of those skeezy stinky ratty vibes of many hole-in-the-wall cafes we see in PDX, and hey that's not a bad thing. I like coming in to do my wifi, have a coffee, and not smell the cigarette and body odor of the person next to me because they pack people so close together in some other places. The owner is super nice and the music is different every time I come there. I think the challenge is figuring out the identity and where she wants to take it. The piano/jazz thing in the evening is great however it would be great if she therefore served beer/wine, as I can completely see myself coming here for that vibe in the evenings if I could sip wine, have some appetizers, and listen to jazz (no full menu needed). Having the 2 computers is really nice to access, as I have a netbook and it's a splurge to come in and do some of my bigger work on a Mac with a large screen! It's one heck of a time to be starting a business and I am amazed at the rudeness on some of the reviews - let's be constructive in our suggestions and support our local businesses!

Green Microgym

Neighborhoods: Northeast Portland, King

1/16/2012

Suh-WEET! Finally, a gym without attitude. My friends already know I'm a treehugger, but the core mission of GM was more of a bonus compared to what I really enjoy most about this place - it's quiet, there's no blasting crap-pop music, and I'm not surrounded by people more concerned about their makeup and everyone around them. It's a working class gym mixed with urban sustainability - totally rad. I love the individual switches for the fans above the equipment and the ellipticals are top-notch. Best part for me is that the mornings are quiet. It's clean, the owner is super friendly and absolutely no sales pitch. I signed up online, $40/mo month to month (no contract), and in January there's no enrollment fee. Doesn't bother me that there aren't showers - I'd rather do this at home anyhow. After going to the ridiculous 24 Hour Fitness Pearl which more resembles Southern Cal than Portland in attitude, this is a refreshing change of pace. Oh - and being able to just let myself in when I need to work out, and turn the lights out when I'm done? Extra cool. Brilliant business, kudos and thank you from one of your newest members!

This review is for the Starbucks inside BN. Absolutely the most horrific, apathetic service I've ever dealt with from a Starbucks, where at any other location the employees are cheerful and polite. Greeted the girl behind the counter (brunette) and asked her how she was, paid for my food/drink and rather than say thank you, or tell me my coffee & food would be ready shortly, she asked me if I needed a receipt and when I said no, she simply turned around and walked into the back. I was dumbfounded. Didn't know when I'd be getting my food, but saw another girl getting my drink prepared (faded blond dye job). She called out my drink name (there was no one else waiting or nearby) and when I said thank you as she put it on the counter, she just turned around and started doing something else, like I was invisible. I waited and waited for my food, and she finally blurted 'are you waiting for something' and I explained what it was and she asked the girl who'd taken my order several times about my food and the original girl snapped at her sarcastically that she took my order (no one told me if it was being heated, what the deal was, nothing). Finally, several minutes later (10 minutes at a Starbucks waiting for food as the only person there? wtf?) a third girl (blue/green hair) called out my food item, tossed it on the counter, and with my THIRD thank you, still ignored me and went to work. Really? Can't be bothered to say thank you to customers or show the least bit of courtesy? They were all such a-holes to me that I will never go in there again. Starbucks should fire all three of them and start from scratch. Pathetic.

not my favorite coffee chain but whaddayagonnado - had to wait for a friend and picked up a mocha (1 pump keeps it from being a choco-mess) and the cheese/fruit bistro box. the crackers sucked but the rest was a good alternative to a sandwich and the service was friendly and quick. nothing out of the ordinary but no complaints.

Noodles & Company

Neighborhood: Pearl District

1/5/2012

Pleasantly surprised - one of those places you walk by and never go in, but I decided finally to go in. Had assumed it was Asian varieties but actually offers all kinds of noodles from mac n cheese to pad thai and more. Ordered my standard pad thai and while the spice was milder than I'd like, it was actually pretty flavorful! Good price, not too terrible of a wait, and convenient to my work. No five stars because the service was pretty bland/bare minimum. And the guy who handed me the food just called my name, stuck his hand out with the bag, and said nothing, no thank you or enjoy or anything. Dude! Other than that though, I was satisfied.

Yay! Great to have one on a stretch of Lombard not known for any decent food. Good service, good food (rajas quesadilla simple & tasty), good price. Hope more restaurants pop up here, the University Park area really deserves some love in the food department :)

Beauty For the Beast-Grooming Salon

Category: Pet Groomers
Neighborhoods: North Portland, Portsmouth

1/2/2012

One word: bummer. Went to wash my 14 year old Rottweiler and the place was a mess- possibly renovating? Barely shown what to do by the attendant (doesin she even likeif dogs?), a bottle of extraordinarily watered down shampoo with no labels to see what's in it, and the brushes were all full of other dogs' hair- eww! And the cold air from the dryer was terrible :( The hardest part was there was no easy way to get my elderly dog in the tub or on the drying table- the main reason I came & paid $20! Might as well have used my bathtub for this low quality operation. Total bummer. Oh also? Dog poop all over the entry to the shop- as my friend noted, why couldn't they put bags & a trash can for owners? Gross :(

Really enjoyed my lunch here today, as suggested by a friend. Nice fireplace! The cobb salad was one of the best I've had - really amazing chicken in it, something you usually wouldn't notice. Good service as well. I will say I'm glad we went early because it was really noisy in there with the lunch rush. Look forward to trying out something else on the menu next :)
