Poa cafe | Portland, or

While we were in Portland, OR last month, we ended up trying this sweet little cafe called Poa Cafe for brunch. We were so pleasantly surprised by the unique menu options and the friendly service. The location had plenty of parking, and they even have a back patio area for enjoying your meal out in the sun on warm days! When traveling, it’s always a priority for me to find options that are local and fit my dietary needs. This cafe checked off all of the needs on my list! We all ordered something different so we could try multiple items. I ordered the Sweet Potato bowl, and my daughter got the avocado toast. We ended up splitting each meal with each other and let me tell you… It was so delicious! The avocado toast was some of the best I have ever tried. And while that seems like an easy dish, it was the bread that sold it for me. No all breads are equal haha! Not only do they have great foods, but the smoothies and elixirs are also an added benefit to this cafe. They are all full of so many good nutrients that I have a hard time finding at other places!

If you are in need of a great brunch spot that offers healthy meals at a decent price with great service, definitely go to Poa Cafe! They are located on N. Williams street and also have such a cool background story. Their name means “Everything is Cool” in Swahili, and was inspired by a trip Tanzania, Africa that the owner had gone on back in 2013. You absolutely won’t be disappointed!
