Milwaukie Cafe And Bottle Shop

6/22 Biscuit/eggs/bacon/coffee. The coffee was rather tasteless, did I get a bad brew? Where do people park is the answer to a riddle.The End

Used to love coming here but a bad experience probably won't bring me back. I went in on a Saturday and wanted the brisket sandwich but they didn't have the greens so they subbed the smoked chicken sandwich slaw. It was better than the original! Came back the next weekend, waited in line and was rudely told they "don't do substitutions when it's busy." Um. Unless you're forced to because you're out of something? I even told the girl how much I enjoyed the brisket sandwich with the modified slaw. I understand being busy and maybe even frazzled but she made me feel like I was doing something wrong for asking. In the words of the late great Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Also, they run out of monkey bread every weekend before brunch. Such a bummer, I live close and am an avid brunch-goer.

Definitely a must stop in Milwaukie!! I was craving a new breakfast spot and Milwaukie cafe and bottle shop came up on my search. Parking is available in a small parking lot or street parking. We came on a Sunday afternoon and had to park on the street a couple of blocks down due to how busy they were. You order at the front, grab a number and self seat. We waited about 45 mins for food which was expected as they warned us when we ordered that they were slammed - good for them! The two sandwiches we got were 5/5 sooo good and flavorful. The chicken jam biscuit is a must and the traditional bacon egg cheese will never let you down. They must smoke their own meats as I saw a smoker out back!The biscuit with butter and jam wasn't my fav. I would get the "jam" on the side as well as the butter as it immediately was mushy. This particular biscuit was overdone, which I know is just a variation as our other biscuits were perfectly cooked. The "jam" is also more on a compote, not a traditional jam which probably played into making the biscuit mushy. I would also pass on the "orange" soda - I think they could have given us the wrong flavoring because it tasted very floral - maybe orange blossom? Not sure. Definitely good for smaller groups, but with some finagling you could make a larger group work here. My husband and I are already talking about going back soon! Apparently they have amazing monkey bread, it was sold out when we arrived but I overheard two parties talking about it!

The biscuit with goat cheese and jam was incredible! As was the breakfast sandwich, would definitely come here again next time I'm in town.

We went at noonish on Sunday. Not crowded. I had an almond milk latte and the polenta bowl with pesto and roasted veggies. The hubby had a polenta bowl with scrambled eggs and sausage and an iced chai. Extremely good. I like their varied menu and the people were friendly and helpful. Art on the walls and stained glass items for sale. I like this place!

Our first time here. Arrived at 10:30 am. 40-minute wait & ended up receiving our food in 30 minutes. You order first & take a number & stand or sit where you can till you can steal a first come, first serve table. Wasn't much room inside to stand so we took a little table outside after we ordered & took our coffee out into the beautiful first day of October. The vanilla latte was yummy but surprisingly a much too sweet, which I didn't expect here, so I didn't ask for less vanilla.Received our food, and it was very yummy. I was initially enticed by the brisket but it was sold out already so I went with the pork shoulder polenta bowl & it was yummy, the fried egg was sadly overcooked so no yolk and I could have done without the pimento cheese and maybe had some sautéed mushrooms or spinach/vegetables instead but the pork shoulder was exceptional. It was like the highest quality of bacon with the best flavor & perfect amount of saltiness. My husband got the biscuit with egg, cheese & bacon & the for some reason he thought it came with some gravy on it, which he said would have been the perfect addition, as it needed a little sauce or something for him. I loved it as it was. The biscuit was so moist & buttery. The people who worked there were kind & I appreciated that given how busy they were. I will return with my ladies next time for brunch to try the brisket! Thank you, we had such a nice Sunday morning date.

This is our favorite neighborhood spot. They are consistent and the food is always absolutely delicious.

The best neighborhood surprise EVER! Came during the week so lots of breakfast sandwiches (full plates on the weekends). Ordered today's special, smoked pork on a biscuit with yep, peaches and a balsamic reduction and taleggio (cheese) Bitting into this hot crisp yet moist and fluffy biscuit to have tender smoky pork and the sweetness of the peaches was the best part. The cheesy goodness ran over the sides and the balsamic was perfect! Wish my tummy had room for another! Loved learning how much they make in house including the bacon. Also the Bloody Marry was wonderful loved the horseradish. I will be back!!

InCREDIBLE!!!!! Ordered the brisket sandwich and was absolutely blown away. Beautiful fat cap, gorgeous portion of brisket, and the greens were excellent. Paired with the chips and the peach habanero sauce available in the dining area was one of the best meals I've ever had

I'd been wanting to visit this place for a while and I'm really glad I did! The staff was super friendly and the food was so delicious! I got the pork shoulder, pimento cheese and fried egg polenta bowl and damn! It was so good. You know when a dish is SO good so you eat it a little slowly so you can savor all the flavors? I did that. And I wanted to give them 5/5 stars here but in the dinning area they have those super uncomfortable bastard metal chairs that are literally a pain in the butt. This won't stop me from ordering from them again. I just may take it to go.
