Breakfast/Brunch places

Portland has a fascination with breakfast/brunch places. There are many, and often lines to get in. Sometimes up to an hour at places like Screen Door and Mother’s.
There are a number of Petite Provence locations around town, but this is the most convenient to the house. It is a fantastic French bakery and Breakfast/brunch place. My friends and I are regulars here on the weekend.

Good, hearty casual breakfast. Especially like the Eggs Benedict and Omelets. May have to have a cup of coffee outside while you wait for a table to clear. Typically no more than 15 minutes.
