There is a new place to get a quick detox in a cup! It’s called Sip, (their other location is in SE outside People’s CoOp) a juice cart on NE Alberta between 22nd and 23rd. I ordered the “Summer Breeze” juice with cucumber, cilantro, apple, lime, and substituted the pineapple for carrot! Service was sprightly [...]
A new gluten-free bakery has arrived to Portland (commence jumping up and down with joy)! In the building that formerly held the conventional yet not-so-successful Sweet Thing Bakery, now holds a solution for people with mean allergies and a meaner sweet tooth. The location is a bit odd – coming from the parking lot into [...]
Jade Teahouse and Patisserie made a miraculous first impression on me in a quick two minutes. I meandered inside to peer at their selection of desserts, only to discover a platter of drool-worthy, golden sesame-seed encrusted balls of perfection. Assuming I could not eat them, I ask if they are gluten free, just for kicks. [...]
Last night was my first failed foray into Sellwood, at an attempt to locate a fabric store. No matter where I went, the GPS red dot on my iPhone was always traveling in the opposite direction from where I was headed. The fabric store closed before I could find it, and on the brink of [...]

Am I dreaming? No, but I have discovered the café of my dreams, Cloud Seven Café. Right on Jamison Square, located in the Pearl District, every single detail of this café has been thought out impeccably. Outdoor seating is punctuated by sky blue umbrellas. A troop of yogis plant themselves on the lawn to gracefully [...]
Moments like these are why I started my blog. Your favorite food of the moment is on the menu, they carry your favorite secret coffee brand, the album you’ve played on repeat in your room, your car, your work, is now on their speaker system. Artists with funny hair surround you, speaking of Germany and [...]
Most people know Montage as the place to order alligator. It’s the place with a flaming kitchen. The place where grizzled chefs and baristas shout “oyster shooters!” at the highest of decibels late into the night. What most people don’t know is that Montage offers a killer breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, with most items [...]
PBJ’s, a gourmet, grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich food cart, is the new exciting place to grab lunch in the Nob Hill district. They rolled onto 23rd Street in mid April and have already grown an avid fan base. Customers line up outside of the cart, laughing and indulging in sweet and savory grilled [...]
Do you ever wish you could bust out your sketchpad while eating a delicious sandwich without having fellow diners give you funny looks? The Canvas is the perfect solution for a multitasking hungry artist. They opened their doors less than a month ago and are already causing quite a fabulous stir in the community. I [...]
