New Deal Cafe

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Hubby had tuna melt and I requested potatoes with cheese. Both were very enjoyable. Will definitely be heading back there again. Service was courteous as well.

Went here for breakfast with a relative. The service was fine, nothing to write home about. The food was average, water was available for free. The prices are average. The restaurant was clean. I would go back again.

I was really hoping to like this cute local cafe better. It's got a great vibe, are comfortable to hang in and are friendly and I especially like their commitment to social values. But I wasn't thrilled with my breve latte and I ordered the Farm Scramble with Black Forest Ham BUT without mushrooms (as I just detest this flavor with eggs, but love it elsewhere) and lo and behold my order came with mushrooms! Yuk! The eggs were cooked perfectly and they did ask if I wanted a fresh plate, but I don't like to waste, so I picked out the mushrooms and actually liked the rest. The home fries were PERFECT and I cheated and had some homemade strawberry jam with my biscuit, which was delicious. Daughter had a bacon grilles cheese and really enjoyed hers. All in all NDPDX was good, not great, but we do support local, so keep up the vibe.

I was in the neighborhood petsitting and the owner told me this place had good breakfast burritos, so I popped over and grabbed one. Big fan! Would love to be able to add avocado but otherwise, all good. Heading back in a few days to try the biscuit and mushroom gravy.

Absolutely ideal spot on NE Halsey for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or tea.There are plenty of items to choose from their menu, and the many we've tried are both ample and delicious. Very friendly, cordial service. Booths and tables inside as well as out on the street. New Deal Cafe is a perfect spot for a meeting over cups of coffee or tea, or just sitting by yourself while working on a laptop. No loud music or TVs. Very clean and safe. All the staff continue to wear masks.Open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays.

My husband and I ordered the same thing, special scramble as a burrito, I however did not get my burrito at all, instead just a small pile of eggs a and some potatoes... really looks and feels like less for than my husband got in his burrito.... I'm sick and tired of restaurants failing to do their one job: make food to order. Wasn't able to come back and complain, because all the doors were locked by the time I got back. I guess I can't trust anyone to make my food.... Really sucks.

Good coffee, friendly counter help, and (scary) fast service... which is kind of the problem. Your food arrives lightning fast and as a result isn't hot or taste as if it's been cooked to order. How could it be? Now I know home fries are made in advance and kept warm until needed, but would it kill them to slap some on the flat top a minute before serving just to add a bit more life to those spuds?

Great food. Love their bacon and breakfast is great. Eaten many times over the years. Their BLT sandwich with a side of salad is bomb.

Ok, I came in yesterday after a year and oh no. Same old same old, not even to acknowledge that I was there, a customer already eating said you have to pay for your food first, I paid for exactly the same breakfast as before, just no gravy on the side, I was thinking that maybe the cook was having a bad day as before. I paid and sat down, put my purse at the table and got my coffee "lukewarm" I asked if they could make fresh as it was just warm, she rolled her eyes and said she would get to it when she could. I thought oh noooo not again. I just stood there until she walked over and went to get another carafe, after she put it down....I got another cup and wow still warm. I asked if there was a microwave that she could at least heat up my coffee, she said no. I said, please take the coffee off my bill, she did and put the cash on the counter. I walked over to my table and oh no, now my food was so over and undercooked, microwaved biscuit was hard. I walked back up to the front with my plate and tapped my biscuit on my plate and said "not acceptable and said please give me a refund, I'm not eating that", she said no refunds, I said breakfast was not touched and coffee not drank. You just gave me a refund for the coffee but not my breakfast, I said please again and she rolled her eyes and again put my money on the counter. This was strike 2, I'm never coming back for strike 3. Same counter person from a year ago. Ambiance is a zero, food and service zero.

This place is great- super cute! They have the best bacon in Portland!! The service is good and fast.
