Crema Coffee and Bakery

Start your day of feasting with a cup of local Stumptown or Coava coffee at bright, airy Crema. This beloved neighborhood bakery offers a wide range of tasty pastries. Savory options include quiche and mushroom-manchego biscuits, while sticky buns and chocolate espresso bread top the list of sweets.

PaaDee

It can take weeks to snag a pair of seats at celebrated Thai eatery Langbaan. Thankfully, you don’t even need a reservation to dine at its more casual sister eatery, PaaDee. Admire the teak tables and birdcage light fixtures while lunching on fried fish cakes and shrimp-, crab- and pork-stuffed dumplings.

Cheese & Crack Snack Shop

Immediately next door to PaaDee, Cheese and Crack is a playful snack shop that caters to adult palates. In addition to cheese plates piled with pickles, olives, crackers and spreads, the ever-evolving menu might include frozen rosé, potato chip “nachos” and soft serve topped with matcha or beet dust.

Laurelhurst Theater

It would be hard for any visitor to Northeast 28th Avenue to miss the striking art deco façade of Laurelhurst Theater. Built in 1923, the theater shows second-run flicks at bargain prices ($4 or less!), leaving moviegoers with extra cash to spend on microbrews, wine, pizza and other gourmet concessions.

Brew ‘N’ View – Movie Theaters That Serve Beer

Portland’s beloved “brew ‘n’ view” movie theaters run the gamut from funky to swanky, serving up all manner of drinks, food and films.

Migration Brewing

Home to one of Portland’s most spacious patios, Migration Brewery offers a small-batch beer menu that boasts two award-winning IPAs, plus a handful of other signature and seasonal brews. Pair your pint with a round of darts or a housemade doughnut topped with apricot glaze and prosciutto sprinkles.

Stammtisch

Declared the best bar of 2015 by Willamette Week, Stammtisch recreates the German bierkeller experience in the heart of Portland. Don’t expect any local ales here — instead, you’ll select from a long list of imported European brews. Small plates like Bavarian pretzels, veal sweetbreads and fried rabbit complement the German beers.

Fifty Licks

Founded as a food cart in 2008, this popular ice cream shop opened its second brick-and-mortar location in 2017. On offer are ice cream cones, milkshakes and beer floats, featuring unusual flavors like Thai rice or the booze-infused “butterSCOTCH.” You can also keep it simple and delicious with a flavor called “Vanilla as @#$&.”

Ice Cream in Portland

Savor culinary creativity by the scoop at Portland's top ice cream spots, including regional chains, frozen yogurt shops and vegan options.

Angel Face

This softly lit bar boasts pink floral wallpaper and deluxe European-style eats, like caviar and duck confit. What you won’t find here? A written drink menu. Instead, chat with the bartender, who will gladly whip you up a bespoke cocktail to fit your whims and preferences.

The Goodfoot Pub & Lounge

Looking for dancing, games, live music and cocktails? You’ll find it all at the Goodfoot Pub & Lounge. The upstairs bar features pinball, pool and a classic pub menu. Meanwhile, the basement hosts DJs, dancing, live music and open mics. Located on the Southeast end of 28th Street, this destination lounge is worth the extra steps.

Tiny Digs

After a long day of exploring, tuck yourself into bed at this tiny house hotel. Although only 150 square feet (14 sq m), each tiny house includes a queen or king bed, shower, flush toilet, mini-fridge, heat and air conditioning. Best of all, each dwelling is decorated in a different theme; choose from barn, beach, bamboo and others.

Neighborhoods

Laurelhurst Park

Just north of Portland's Belmont neighborhood sits Laurelhurst Park, one of the city's most scenic escapes with over 300 trees, a duck pond and an array of free public events.
