Cheryl's on 12th

I stopped by Cheryl’s on 12th while visiting from Atlanta and had such a great experience thanks to Christine! She wasn’t my server, but she went out of her way to bring me a drink and chat for a bit. She was warm, engaging, and offered great recommendations—the Portuguese fried rice (a favorite!), the French toast if you like something sweet, and her personal favorite, the corned beef hash. I mentioned I was unsure about the rice, and she even surprised me with a small sample so I could try it first. That extra touch really stood out. Christine was fantastic and made my visit even better!

Food was really good and service was fast. My only complaint is how cold the food is. Not sure how or why but none of our food was warm. We looked around and no one else had warm food, no steam coming from any plate. Makes me wonder how much they make ahead of time. It did taste good so that’s good. Worth the visit. Ask them to make sure food is hot.

Cheryl’s has been my fave go to brunch spot since 2021 and this last trip truly affirmed that it will always be. My bestie took me out for a birthday brunch and we were sat outside- absolutely adorable table set up they have out front. The staff went above and beyond with how fun and kind they were, our server Sunsariay was so sweet and attentive. 10/10 service all around. I was surprised with a complimentary cinnamon roll with a candle at the end of our meal and it really made my day. Also the food is really good and they have like 3-4 types of hot sauces

We came here for breakfast before exploring the city. For a Sunday morning without a reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and since it was hot outside, we opted for a table indoors. The food was decent, and our attentive waiter checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I think this place lives up to the hype.

Loved this place. Solid breakfast. Fun cocktails. Staff was super friendly. We got a sample of the Portuguese rice, what a winner. Free beignets when seated. I would come back again and again.

Their breakfast "Portuguese sausage and egg fried rice" is the most iconic Portland breakfast. Sure, there are other quintessential breakfast items all over Portland where many restaurants do awesome french toast or awesome biscuits and gravy or awesome chicken fried steak or awesome chicken and waffles. This breakfast is unique. And delicious. The Free beignet is the lightest one in the world! (Cuts on the calories)! Make sure you get one because they forgot mine until I reminded them after my food came. The service is great here, so it was a simple error.

Shout out to Lilly and Nik for sending us your way! The food was great! The lemon curd is top notch. Complimentary bignets are mouth watering. Get the fried rice you wont regret it, sane with the French toast brunch style. Never had eggs Benedict with steak before, that was quite the treat! Thank you again Cheryl's cafe, it was a pleasure!

What a neat little place. We were served complimentary elephant ears and it paired so nicely with our chai tea. Our server was really nice, bantered with us a little bit (me and my husband work food industry). No judgement either! Fast service, quick to be sat. Will be here again!!
