Long before Portland’s largest neighborhood was incorporated into Multnomah County in 1985, it was Neerchokikoo village — home to Chinook peoples. Beyond ranking largest in terms of landmass and population, Cully is also the most ethnically and racially diverse Census tract in Oregon.

Today, this Northeast neighborhood supports community members, embraces its rural topography as the perfect site for urban farming and has a growing reputation as the city’s next major culinary hot spot.

Nearby Hotels

Cully is close to the airport, and these stays offer easy access to downtown Portland, as well as the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge and the slopes of Mount Hood.

Where to Eat in Cully

Bringing the kids and/or dog along? Stop by Cully Central, a local beer haven with a kid’s corner, spacious patio and an incredible Laos menu with options like the rice noodle soup khao piek and pork-and-rice-laden nam khao.

Stop by Portland’s only Native-owned coffee shop, Bison Coffeehouse, where fresh pastries (like flaky bacon-and-green chili biscuits and lemon olive oil cake) are made every morning by owner Loretta Guzman, a Shoshone-Bannock tribal member.

Hankering for a sweet treat but don’t want to brave the crowds downtown at Voodoo Doughnuts? Try the fresh-to-order mini doughnuts from Pip’s Original Doughnuts & Chai. These small-scale creations may bring back nostalgic memories of state fairs. Try them paired with one of their house-made chai teas, guaranteed to bring home the blue ribbon.

What to Do in Cully

Kʰunamokwst Park (pronounced KAHN-ah-mockst), opened in 2015 just a few blocks west of the Cully neighborhood, is a great place to read about and peruse Native plants. This park is also an especially good spot for kiddos, thanks to its newly constructed playground, interactive water feature play area, picnic benches and a skate park designed just for beginners.

More Portland Parks and Gardens

In a city as green as Portland, it’s only fitting that some of the top attractions are outdoor spots that appeal to home gardeners and hikers alike. With more than 200 parks and gardens within city limits the urban greens offer a breath of fresh air.
