I was looking for a place to have breakfast while I was in Portland for a memorial service at Reed College, and a student recommended that I try Beez. Fun Betty Boop theme. The create your own omelette was delicious and I had a nice chat with the owner about copyright law and the fact that the original Betty Boop comes into the public domain in 2026 -- so she can use the restaurant name she REALLY wants

FOOD POISONING ALERT!I'm sorry if you are even looking this place up.You can stop reading now and please trust me, skip this place.Went in the other day hooked like a fish with a cheap breakfast deal. Had the chicken fried steak and got sent home from work with violent food poisoning.Idk how this place is in business at all with the horrid food and sanitation practices.This place needs to just shut down or actually start serving edible food. It's all sisco crap and still not cooked properly.If that wasn't enough to scare you off it's also Betty boop themed ugggghhhhhh barf "LITERALLY!!"

Went for Mother's Day, basically empty! It was just ok, nothing to bring me back again. Prices are higher but I'm not really shocked at restaurants anymore. $12 for a side of pancakes is a 1000% markup but hey, I didn't have to make them. Betty Boop theme is cute. Owners could probably lower their prices if they didn't have thousands of Boop figurines collecting dust. Waitress was friendly enough, not overly inviting but maybe she was a mom and had to work :/ "Meh" sums it up.

I almost passed this place by, and I'm so glad I made a u-turn. Such an adorable cafe and if you like Betty Boop, you will LOVE this place! Everywhere you look there are tons of Betty Boop memorabilia! Almost like walking into a museum. It's mainly a breakfast place since they close at 2, but they have sandwiches and omelets. I was hoping they had a create your own, but since I didn't see one on the menu (which was kind of small), I opted for the chicken strips. They were very good and came with a cute little metal basket of fries. The owner was really friendly and there's a parking lot out front. Not a whole lot of parking, but when I was there around 1145, I found a place right in front. I will definitely seek this place out on my next trip to Portland to try their other menu items. They have milkshakes which I really want to try. I bet they're amazing.

We went to Bees Knees as a party of 3 at 10:00 AM on Saturday. We were able to be seated right away, and had a lot of fun checking out all of the Betty Boop decor! It was so clean and well organized. I ordered a Chicken Caesar wrap with a side of fries. This was so simple and good! Whatever they season their chicken with is wonderful. I ordered my wrap with no tomatoes. I would be happy to order this again. I love how unique this place is-did you know they have a fry of the month? Our waitress was lovely and she even did the Betty Boop makeup! This was such a fun way to start a day in Portland. We will absolutely be back!

A local treasure, high ceiling cafe with breakfast until 2PM.Outdoor tables that are quiet (little street noise on Holgate) and have overhangs to shield you from rain. Owner Julie I will likely greet you, and what a pleasure that is! I had the Caesar salad chicken wrap, and friends had burgers with a cute little wire mesh basket of fries, or a pancake with eggs over easy. Sublime, and recommended.

Betty boop theme everywhere! It was so cool!! Only thing missing is a checkerboard floor. Basic diner food, everything my friend and I ordered was freshly prepared. Had a great vanilla milkshake. Our waitress was lovely. I wish I got her name so I could give her a shoutout. 10/10 recommend. This is my favorite diner in Portland!
