My Mom and I have been to this cute little cafe 2 or 3 times now. Mom uses a walker and is able to get around and park it just fine. The folks who work here are so welcoming, kind and thoughtful toward us, so much so that Mom bought one of their Hello Cafe t-shirts on our first visit! The food tastes and feels like your visiting a good friend or favorite Auntie--made with love and served with a smile. The place is clean, comfortable and they play great music too. Thanks you guys, Mom and I hope to see you soon! Katie and Kay

We live in Milwaukie and We really appreciate this cafe, locally owned and run! Their pastries are so well baked, the bagel breakfast Sando’s are our favorite! Great Avocado Toast for only 5 bucks!

So excited to have this delicious deli in Milwaukie! They have a very robust sandwich menu, coffee drinks, house-made soup and a nice selection of goodies in the deli case. The seating area is spacious enough to have a quiet meeting in the corner and there is a beautiful wood bar to cozy up to with a book. I’ve had a build-your-own turkey sandwich and the pastrami panini, both were excellent!! I love a pressed sandwich so I will definitely be back for more. Parking available on the street and 2 spots available in the parking lot. Great place to grab a drink and sandwich before heading to the Riverfront park.

Great place to read a book, work remotely or have a conversation with friends. Lunch sand-which menu is impressive of hot and cold with salad and breakfast options. There are soft drinks and home made pastries. Many herbal teas as well as speciality coffee drinks. Many places to sit with some outlets if you pick the right table! Will be back and appreciate friendly service.

Came here for a visit and had one of the best experiences. Had a delicious Ruben and a broccoli soup that is one of the most flavorful you will have. Lastly have a chocolate chip cookie one of the best.

That was quite possibly the most incredible BLT Bagel I've ever had. The bagel toasted perfectly. The perfect balance between the heat of the bacon and bagel, and the cool of the lettuce and tomato. Each bites' flavor consistency was as magnificent as the last. The experience itself was poetry. Simply ethereal.
