It's strangely remarkable and funny how I've never posted about Doug Fir on this blog. It is unequivocally my most frequented restaurant in Portland, without question. Doug Fir has served as my family and I's default place to eat for years, largely for two reasons: 1. they are one of the only places in town that cater to our night owl tendencies, 2: the atmosphere (designed by modern architect Jeff Kovel). However, the food is good too. Doug Fir excels particularly in their breakfast/brunch menu. The Burnside Biscuit is a pretty frequent choice for me on Sunday mornings, accompanied with a bowl of fresh fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice.

Kaiser rolls always remind me of growing up in New York and corner delis.

Valentine's Day breakfast. A typical breakfast at the Jay's, beside the insta-toothache cupcakes.

Stocking up on some of our favorite Japanese goodies.

I love Crema. Since my first visit early last Summer it's quickly become another one of my most frequented coffee shops/bakeries in town. It's located on a strip of Ankeny street, right off of East Burnside that I love to hang out on. First I'll stop into Crema for coffee and a pastry (or even lunch), and then walk across the street to Una- the best women's clothing boutique in Portland. After that, I'll head down the block to my favorite vintage/thrift store, Smut. And around the corner is Nationale, a fantastically curated little art gallery/shop specializing in French goods.

BERRY GOOD

I'm by far more of a waffle man (Belgian especially), but once in a while I crave a good stack of pancakes. Especially if there are blueberries in them.
