Nestled right at 700 NE Multnomah St Portland, OR 97232, this cozy gem is drawing in locals and travelers alike with its warm atmosphere, flavorful menu, and loyal following. Whether you're on your morning coffee run or settling down for a hearty brunch, Cafe 700 Portland hits the mark.

A popular Portland café that brings the neighborhood together

Just a stone’s throw from Lloyd Center, Cafe 700 isn’t your average coffee shop. It’s a place that locals rely on and visitors are pleasantly surprised by. With its laid-back vibe, wood-paneled interiors, and a mix of regulars chatting over mugs of freshly brewed coffee, the space feels like part café, part community hub.

What makes it so loved? It’s not just the location. It’s the rhythm of daily life here — the way the baristas remember your order, the hum of the espresso machine, the way sunlight filters through in the morning, and the scent of house-made pastries wafting through the air. Ask anyone in the area, and they'll tell you Cafe 700 Portland is a daily ritual.

From espresso to eggs benedict – the menu that wins over every appetite

The menu at Cafe 700 covers every craving with ease. On weekdays, you’ll find busy professionals grabbing cold brew and avocado toast before heading into nearby offices. On weekends, the diner-style breakfasts take center stage — think buttery pancakes, smoked salmon bagels, or a loaded bacon and cheddar omelet that will have you skipping lunch.

Each dish is made to order, and you can taste the quality. The coffee beans are locally sourced, and their seasonal specials often include pastries that highlight Oregon’s best produce — marionberry muffins in the summer, apple-spice scones come fall.

Not to mention, the lunch options are equally comforting. The chicken pesto sandwich, served on warm ciabatta, and their take on the classic grilled cheese with tomato bisque are both must-tries. Even their vegan chili has its own fan club. Whether you're dining solo or in a group, there's something familiar but elevated in every bite.

A downtown location that keeps things convenient and welcoming

Located in the heart of the Lloyd District, Cafe 700 Portland sits between office buildings, hotels, and retail centers. That’s part of what makes it such a reliable go-to — it’s the kind of place that feels easy to reach but hard to leave.

There’s plenty of seating, both inside and out, with views of bustling NE Multnomah Street. On a clear day, the outdoor tables are a prime spot for people-watching while sipping a chai latte or munching on their popular breakfast burrito.

The team here keeps things efficient without losing the friendly touch. Whether you’re on a 15-minute break or have time to linger over brunch, service is quick, polite, and full of personality.

What diners are saying – honest reviews from real people

Word of mouth has done wonders for Cafe 700. Scan through online reviews, and you’ll find a chorus of happy customers praising not only the food but also the consistency and welcoming vibe. One reviewer raved about the “perfectly balanced cappuccino and surprisingly fluffy French toast,” while another mentioned how the “staff treat you like family — even when they’re slammed.”

There’s also something to be said about its unpretentious charm. It doesn’t try too hard, and that’s exactly why people keep coming back. It’s the spot you recommend to a friend visiting from out of town, knowing it will deliver every time.

Regulars often highlight specific dishes, like the turkey club with a side of crunchy house-made chips, or their matcha latte, which has a loyal fanbase of its own. You’ll even spot some reviews that mention bumping into coworkers, neighbors, or friends there — a testament to its local reach and appeal.
