  My go-to brunch location for more than two decades! Delicious and reasonably priced options abound for a vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Gluten-free options available also. Good coffee, Great cocktails. My only complaints are the two things that used to be there that I loved and no longer are: high quality tea and cozy booths. Would love to see both of those things return, but even if they don't I'll keep going there for another two decades.

  Cozy little cafe with a wonderful staff and atmosphere. Woman owned and family operated; its a wonderful place if your looking to support the community and get a giant portion!

  Here’s a NED-style review of Genie’s Café (Portland, OR):nn---nn✅ What Works Welln- Top-Tier Breakfast & Brunch: Known for hearty, scratch-made breakfast fare like Benedicts, scrambles, and biscuits & gravy. The Chorizo Benedict is a standout.n- Great Bloody Marys: House-infused vodkas (like jalapeño or garlic) make their Bloody Mary bar a local favorite.n- Cozy Diner Vibe: Casual, friendly atmosphere with classic Portland charm — laid-back but welcoming.n- Gluten-Free & Veg Options: Several vegetarian, gluten-free, and substitution-friendly choices.n- Local Favorite: It’s been a staple on SE Division for years — consistently praised for reliable food and service.
  
  ---nn👎 What to Watch Out Forn- Wait Times on Weekends: It’s a popular brunch spot, so there can be a wait (especially late mornings).n- Small Space: Limited seating inside — can feel cramped during peak hours.n- Service Can Vary: Usually solid, but a few guests mention slow refills or rushed servers when it's packed.n- Heavy Food: Portions are big and rich — not ideal if you’re seeking a light or quick meal.
  
  ---nn🎯 VerdictnGenie’s Café is a classic Portland brunch pick — great food, strong drinks, and a homey, unpretentious vibe.

  So good! Dang tasty, cooked to perfection. Solid hollandaise. The Bloody Mary was amazing - so many fantastic pickles and bacon, even though mine was virgin ($6.95). Definitely making this a repeat breakfast spot!

  We had a nice breakfast here! As a couple, we split the veggie hash and there was plenty for both of us. It was really tasty. Lots of options for vegetarians. The service was okay. It was pretty quiet and the seating was comfortable. Street parking nearby. My chai was alright - tasted more like milk than tea.
