I'm sitting outside this place. Never been before but it looks funky and interesting. First thing she asks me is how far away I am because she's closing soon and "Do you have Visa or MasterCard?. How about a hello to how can I help you? I've ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel on an Asiago. I had to ask what kind they have after the person in the phone said "We don't make cinnamon raisin." OK, I'll play along. "What kind DO you have?" I can already tell you dear reader that I won't be back. The last thing she said after getting my card I do was "Would you like to leave a tip on the card." Really? For what? It seems like the customer does all the work here. Not my taste in well run establishments but seems like others like it so there you go. The sandwich was unremarkable except for the overdone bacon. Eggs chewy of all things. Bagel was nice. You can walk through the big puddle in the aide driveway to get to the side window. I'll pass on another visit.

Just walked up to this place to get a coffee. At window they said I had to order on line then pickup. All I wanted was one black coffee and I was the only guest. Sigh!

Used to be my favorite breakfast place but it has gone downhill. The sandwiches barely have anything on them anymore, you still can’t dine in or outside in the back and customer service is curt. My salmon bagel had very thin slices of salmon with 2 round pieces of cucumber. The hippie was basically just some lettuce. I don’t know if it’s new ownership or they’re just cutting back on costs but it isn’t what it used to be.Suggestions to management:- Bring back vertically sliced veggies- don’t skimp on the toppings / veggies- open the back area and inside for dining

it baffles me that SMCC students are so lucky as to have this place nearby. I certainly didn't have access to food this good or affordable at my college.Bagels, coffee and breakfast menu are all fantastic.

Even with the courtyard closed, the salmon bagel is always worth the short drive to SoPo. Just walk a bit and look at the boats while you feast.

*The*Best*Bagels*You've*Ever*Tasted* Seriously, this is where bagels were born. Bagel Prime. Drove 45 minutes in the wrong direction today, just to grab some of these bagels. Kept it simple today, just bacon/egg/cheese on a Garlic and they still amaze me at the quality. Insanely good prices, great COVID safety (online/phone-only ordering and pick-up window only). I miss sitting inside their beautiful store or on the sun-dappled back deck, but we will get those back someday soon. Stop reading this review and start driving here RIGHT NOW. You'll thank me!

Best home fries ever!! Just like how my mom made them- melt in your mouth delicious. Even better loaded with all the fixins’. Great espresso drinks and the staff is so friendly!

Terrible service. This place has amazing food but it’s pretty much impossible to get since Covid. Even now that Covid restrictions have relaxed this place is still a mess. I walked up to the window and got scolded for not placing my order online. I very Politely showed the woman behind the window when you click on online ordering on their website it says online ordering not available for this location. So she then told me that I have to call instead, I put the phone on speaker phone and called while I was at the window, to show her that it does not even ring and it just goes to an automated message saying caller not available and hangs up on you. Then another woman came to the window all in a tizzy saying that they are just absolutely slammed, and I said OK no problem I’ll take my business elsewhere and she said yes you would be better off….. it’s not the first time this is happened to me, so sadly to say I am all done until they can get it together……seriously

Take out was awesome. We took avo toast with salmon and great coffees to bug light to enjoy the ocean view and beautiful morning. My favorite people and dogs made it exceptional !!
Only allow phone orders but do not pick up the phone.

I usually like to try different places when I travel but I'm a repeat offender at Pickett Street Cafe every time I visit Portland. I mean, who allowed salmon lox on an everything bagel with chili garlic cream cheese, capers, & cucumbers to be this good? The lady behind the take out counter was delightful too. Like really, really nice. I'd go back just to say hi.

The most fresh and yummy lox bagel in Portland! We got takeout here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. The location is cute and easy to access, and they made the pickup process easy with a side takeaway window. I loved how my lox bagel was assembled. The bagels were perfectly cooked and seasoned and I really enjoyed the oil/flavor they drizzled on top of the lox. Excited to try out other menu items here!

Fun spot! They have breakfast classics with a few different items too like queso hash brows. Its right down the road from Bug Light lighthouse so its great to order online, grab breakfast, and then drive or walk the mile to eat by the ocean. The smoked salmon bagels are highly recommended and the garlic chile cream cheese spread was a zesty twist! It may be that I'm used to Connecticut bagels but the bagel was a bit denser than what I am used to but I still enjoyed, gave me an excuse to go a bit heavier with the cream cheese.

Randomly tried because they were the first pick on door dash. They did not disappoint! Home fries were absolutely delicious I'm still dreaming about them. I NEED to try the rest of the menu.
