Hostel Cafe

Always a nice place to enjoy a bite and glass of coffee good brew. The staff is always very personal and friendly. Also they know their stuff and can answer the questions about the food. I'll had a burger since its burger week it's called the cowboy killer and nothing was dead on this beside the meat : Smoked cheddar cheese, zesty garlic horseradish aioli, crispy fried onions, tomato, and lettuce, served on a buttered toasted brioche bun. It's always a sign of a chef that k owe his profession when the bins are toasted! It gives it an extra crisp and also makes sure the bins not soggy from the mayo or ketchup. So yes this was a delicious meal.

I never really gave this place much of a thought, I felt like it was similar to a hotel bar, not a place for "locals," just a spot for transient folks to hang out. One day I desperately needed a place to go to get out of my house and get some late work done. Not only was hostel cafe open, but inside was warm and inviting. The music is solid but not too loud, the prices for a drink are very reasonable, and the wifi is strong. The windows are open when the weather is good as is the back patio (heads up though that their wifi is spotty back there). They even sometimes have live music. It's overall a very comfortable spot to plop down and focus. I've been back several times since and I will continue to come back!

Lovely bright, airy, quiet coffee & cafe spot to chill on 18th/Glisan close to the park, away from the busy hubbub of Burnside, Pearl & NW 21st.Staff are attentive and friendly and barista offered with our hands full, to open doors & show us out to patio and turn additional heaters on if needed as it started to cool down on a gorgeous fall day.Americano 16oz $3 Cascadia Espresso akin to a Stumptown :/ brew, and Marsee iced Lemon Poppy Scone $3.50 needed warming to soften the dryness and corner ends esp. but overall enjoyable enough and loved the spaces. Water filter station is inside side dining room with glasses to help yourself. Space is very clean and in good repair and a calm vibe and maybe time of year with less visitors. If it's been a lifetime since your last hostel visit, Euro backpacking in youth lol it seems that all we've visited for sips around the globe have a definite uptown new gen appeal. Lots of events Open Mic, Music, that even locals can get in on and they show every Timbers game on Big screen. Got Taps for brews and vine + fresh cut fries, dirty or garlic thyme, to burger out on 100% grass fed patties. Seems to be a busy scratch made kitchen from Mac n cheese, hummus, marinated tofu, biscuits, etc and local purveyors for artisan breads, Marsee Baking scones, Bentley Bagels, real maple syrup... Putting HC breakfast and fries on my Next Eats!

My friend and I decided to check out the cafe for dinner to reignite our love for hostels + solo travel! We came on a Monday night where they had live music + an open mic night. The performers were great and really added to the sweet summer nights here in the city. It also was a packed house, which was great to see for the performers.My friend and I chose their burgers, I immediately ordered their house made veggie burger which I really enjoyed. Fries were an extra $3. Overall, large portions and worth it. We both will be back for another fun night!

Service was good the people were really nice but the food was gross the fries were somehow burnt and soggy at the same time? I had the biscuits and mushroom gravy because I love mushrooms, the presentation was horrible the gravy was mid. Just doesn't feel like it's worth the 5 minute walk honestly. Inside it's fine, bright, loud.

Just had the Baked Eggs for breakfast. Oh so yummy!! Second time we've eaten here; we will be back!!

This was the perfect spot to get lunch. We ordered food to go for two families with a variety of diets. In all, we got a burger, chicken sandwich, TLT sandwich (tofu/vegetarian), and vegan loaded fries. It really hit the spot! They had vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, and meat choices. We ordered through their website and went to pick it up. They were very kind to get us little containers of ketchup (Portland ketchup) and two types of hot sauce (secret aardvark) to take with us. I will definitely hit this place again when we're nearby for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

The Eggs Benedict special was really good, the sauce was rich and the eggs were perfectly runny. The potatoes were not crunchy but rather soft and chewy. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside which is nice when the weather is warm!

hostel cafe is a popular spot for both pdx locals AND travelers from around the world! they offer scratch made, classic american food with options for #glutenfree, #vegetarian, and #vegan meals. #hostelcafepdx is bright, spacious, and open. during the week they offer events like movie nights, trivia or live music and performances to complement your meals. service was quick, kind, and helpful!! if you need any recommendations, i recommend asking what they like best.i ordered the #BLT with extra B and extra T i paid an extra $3 for a side of fries and ordered an oregon cider from @swiftcider! (i've been having #cider nonstop since i moved!) kevin ordered the warwick burger, 100% grass-fed beef patty, pepper jack cheese, sautéed peppers and onions, lettuce, tomato, pickle! decent prices for lunch! i recommend wholeheartedly. come here and have a drink, a pastry, or catch up with a friend, or come try their breakfast to start your day!

The location and hours are super convenient when you are staying at this hostel. Wifi, good amount of outlets and seating.My enjoyment of the cafe (live music sand space) is why I'm rating 4.In terms of as a restaurant it's a 3. Standard food for a cafe. Service is friendly ordering but nothing further.Great place for the hostel convenience but definitely don't come out of your way to eat here
