My all time favorite little mom and pop shop for yummy bite-sized donuts. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I have never had a bad seasonal flavor from them, on top of their divine staples. Coffee and chai is good too to pair with the donuts!

Literally some dope ass coffee. There's no menu, so either ask them to surprise you or they can come up with basically anything you want. Staff are so friendly and fun to chat with. They also have some sick kicks on display. Just a warning, there's no seating so it's more grab-n-go.

They recently remodeled! Not sure if they still do, but they used to have multiple motorbikes on display that were cool to look at. Staff are so nice and make great coffee drinks. Nice, quiet place to enjoy some coffee and chat with friends, or just get some work done.

Experience some of Portland's weird charm while sipping a hot coffee in this double decker bus. Tasty coffee and a great atmosphere.

Okay this is my last mention of banh mi but they also make pretty great banh mi if you're in this part of town. HOWEVER, my favorite part of An Xuyen is the pastry goodies!! I LOVE me some baked buns and desserts. The guava cookies taste fantastic, especially if you heat them up and have some milk!

This Vietnamese restaurant has absolutely ruined Vietnamese rice plate dishes for me. I cannot have com thit nuong (rice with grilled pork) anywhere else. My dad also swears by the pho and he's pretty picky about where he eats. These are all subjective opinions of course though, but they are run by lovely people and are worth a try!

Love this place on a chilly, rainy day. The atmosphere is warm and comfy like I'm eating at an auntie's house. The staff are kind and friendly. The bun bo hue is like a warm hug for my stomach. Great place for Vietnamese dishes if mama doesn't want to cook haha.

Love to get my banh mi fix here if I'm on this side of town.

This is my number one spot for banh mi, but they serve other Viet dishes too. Could just be cause I grew up eating their Vietnamese sandwiches, but I really love this place and the kind staff who have been running the place for decades.

Don't be fooled by the market front, this place is hiding a homey little restaurant upstairs with GENEROUS servings of comforting Korean food. And when you're done, you can go shopping downstairs in the G-Mart! The staff are so lovely and the food always hits. Come hungry!!

I love friend chicken... This place excels with their fried chicken... Their rice bowl will for sure put you in a food coma though, so be prepared.

Sad their original Beaverton location closed but you can still get their famous hand-pulled noodles here!

I love me a good katsu curry. This place is it.

In my opinion, this is the best Hawaiian food in the tri-county area. Servings are generous and it just really hits the spot.

Sometimes simple is best. They excel in what they do so make sure to enjoy some good, fresh baos and whatever else your heart desires.

I've had a lot of burgers in life but I never crave them like I crave a Mr Bento Burger. Their burgers are seriously something else. Just try it (please).

Fun place to chat with friends and enjoy sliders that pack a big punch of flavors. Fries are delicious too.

BOMB fried chicken and biscuits with gravy. There are multiple locations to choose from as well scattered around the Portland area, so no worries if one is busy.

Honestly a pretty busy and maybe over-hyped place but good to try at least once in the Portland area since it's a brunch staple. Have a nice hearty helping of chicken and waffles!

Beautiful interior with a great atmosphere. Can get a tad loud sitting inside but overall a great place to enjoy beers and good food.

Beers on beers on beers. Treat yourself to wonderful IPAs and a plethora of sours and fruit beers to keep you on your toes.

In my opinion, the most beautiful bridge in the city of Portland, which is well known for its many bridges. There's a park area underneath the bridge (Cathedral Park) with lots of open space to enjoy by the water. This north Portland area is also not as busy or crowded, so it's easy to enjoy some peace and quiet.

I personally love this alternative to the International Rose Garden. It's a beautiful park that is peaceful, quiet, and easy to enjoy the roses when they're in bloom. Sitting by the fountain or under the gazebo on a hot, sunny day feels nice.
