Reviews for Genies Cafe in Portland, OR
My friend and I go to Genie's every Sunday morning. We have loved it since our first visit two months ago. The staff is... wonderful and will even remember your name. The food is excellent, my favorite is their Brioche French toast and a BFD coffeefor breakfast or brunch. It really isn't all around great place to eat . Read more
I usually add some kind of sauce or syrup to my breakfast to add some extra flavor to it, and after every bite I kept thinking,... wow it still doesn?t need any sauce. I don?t know why this word comes to me but the smoked tomatoes were charming. Call itpretentious but I was charmed! They had the perfect amount of acidity. I ordered the Florentine omelet with potatoes and it wasamazing. Read more
This has been my favorite brunch place for years but no longer. When my mom visits from CA I always take her here first. She... loves the food and bloody Mary?s. Unfortunately I had to tell her upon my last visit, the bloody Mary?s went from stellar toundrinkable. It had no flavor in n the mix, and was mostly thick tomato pulp texture. There?s improvements to the food but it?sno longer my favorite brunch place. To be fair most places in Portland make horrible bloody Mary?s and drinks in general. Toomuch fresh horseradish, too much acid without a balance of sweet. I would love it if managers would take some feedback and goback to what works. Read more
Super tasty brunch spot. Not a super long wait on a Sunday, they have vegetarian options and the meat-eaters in the group said... it was the best country fried steak they'd ever tried. Definitely on the list of places to go to over and over! The onlydownside was that it was pretty loud in there, but not a deal breaker for us. Read more
The Bloody Marys really were fantastic. Those reviews were why I selected Genies. But I was not prepared for that vegetable... hash. Hands down the best hash I've had in a while (which says a lot given hash outs one of my favorite things to order at aloved restaurant back home). We don't get to to Portland for breakfast often but I know my husband will love this food. Theservers were fantastic too. All around great experience. Read more
Great Bloody Mary's and Mimosa'a. The food so delicious and beautifully plated. A bit of a wait on Sundays due to the pandemic... and being short staffed right now. But it was clean, with friendly staff, and amazing food! Well worth the wait time. Read more
