My hubby and I love this spot! It has a cozy and comfortable vibe and the staff are always friendly and happy to take care of you. We typically get blueberry pancakes (which are HUGE) and a build-your-own omelet which comes with a side of their amazing sweet potato home fries. But we’ve had several of the eggs benedict dishes, French toast, and tried options off of their rotating specials menu. The food never disappoints and always fills you (often times I have to take leftovers home with me).
Bayside American cafe is my favorite spot for brunch in Portland! The food is to die for, I love the scrambled eggs loaded with veggies and the hash browns. Everything is fresh and they are happy to accommodate food allergies. The staff has always been friendly, despite how busy it can get! I recommend going on a week day if you can, it’s a small place and gets packed quick.

Bintliffs was well worth the hour long wait. They had self-serve coffee for guests waiting for tables. Once seated upstairs, our server was attentive and immediately took a drink order. The breakfast cocktails were delicious and they had a wide variety of classics (bloody marys and mimosas) as well as unique drinks like a iced cappuccino with grand marnier, white chocolate liquor and cinnamon. Everyone drooled over the breakfast menu, but settled on the savory options for our Sunday brunch. I had the lobster Benedict- perfectly poached eggs, light, tasty hollandaise and a generous portion of lobster! The fresh spinach was also a nice touch. Others in our party had chorizo Benedict on corncakes which sounded amazing, and the lobster fritatta. They added some sweet potatos to their homefries, which I always find to be a nice touch. All in all the bill came to around $100, which was very reasonable considering we had two lobster dishes and 5 cocktails. I left feeling satisfied but not overstuffed.

I'm not sure anything here is special. On a rainy March day, I stumbled into Bayside for a Sunday morning breakfast. The friendly front of house sat me right away at the upstairs bar, which has 3 seats. There's a real lived-in feel to the establishment. I went with a granola French toast special. I realized belatedly that I hadn't specified that I wanted the wheat toast option, but the waitress didn't catch it either. Then it took nearly 20 minutes to come out. The fruit was delicious, and honey with vanilla yogurt is a classic combination. But I wanted much, much more crust from the French toast. The granola was soft - it should've sat in the skillet for at least two more minutes per side. And it was plated in the yogurt, making part of the bread soft. I got a real kick out of reading the breakfast cocktails menu, which included not only mimosas, but also the bourbon smash, which is a bold choice for a breakfast drink! I might've been happier if I'd gotten a lobster or crab benedict.

Phenomenal brunch spot!Friendly service, cozy and charming atmosphere and delicious food. My dish specifically was just a tiny touch dry, but that was more my fault as I piled my hash on the generous size of toast (so really it was nothing that couldn’t have been resolved if I accepted their offer for ketchup or jam), but it was still so delicious that it didn’t even matter.Mimosa selection is fantastic and very generous in size.We came as tourists but will be recommending this place to any of our friends if we know that they’re heading to Portland.

Very cute and cozy old-timey resteraunt. Upstairs bar with dining room. Breakfast was fantastic though pricey. Two entrees with juice and coffee ended up being $60. Would come back for an occasion, lots of cute cocktails on the menu.

Incredibly delicious and pleasant breakfast. The bayside scramble was phenomenal. Super balanced flavors and came with impressive potatoes and a huge 1 inch thick slice of toast. They make two homemade hot sauces too! The blueberry and chocolate chip pancake was a star - not too sweet, perfectly soft, drizzled in syrup. The maple sausage was also great. Iced coffee was fine. Love this place!
We visited in November 2023 from Iowa and I’m an old Texas fella. Hands down not close by a mile, the best crab Benedict EVER!!! The hollandaise was sooooo awesome, I could have drank it all and bathed in it and the crab was so fresh. The place was was wonderful.

Ordered the lobster roll here, don't see much of a reason to come here for lobster roll compared to all the other good spots in Portland. I know this is a brunch/cafe spot, so can't comment too much on the other food. But the lobster roll was bland, not much flavor, and not impressive.
