Loved the cilbir (Turkish eggs). The menu is a good mix of traditional breakfast items and also other unique menu items that I am excited to try.

Tiny space, I'm sure there will always be a wait. Overall, for me, nothing special. Seems very trendy, and no bar seating. I generally eat alone. It was great having an espresso based coffee and not a normal restaurant brewed coffee. I'm not a fan of their biscuits and gravy; it's a little too designer for me.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor.

The Cricket Cafe has some decent menu items and a good variety of vegetarian options. It is however stuck in a cramped and drafty space that does noting to improve your experence. The waitstaff is polite but not particularly motivated or attentive. The hours are also not great so when they are open there is often a wait to be seated.The best experence is to sit outside in the summertime.

One of my favorite little breakfast place! Staff is always so nice and food is excellent. I love the eggs Benedict.
Slow lukewarm food with almost no cheese, avocado costs more than buying an entire avocado at the store, drip coffee is 4

Nope. Nope. Nope. Cricket was an establishment with the best omelettes and gravy, seriously. Changed owners about a year ago, and hadn’t been there in a while. Brought the FIL today and we’re so disappointed. No more flavor on the menu, you could almost taste the carton of the eggs and the freezer burn on the potatoes. Wow. Just wow. We will be on the look out for our next great breakfast/brunch spot.

Pretty slow and FYI its a small place. Our food was good, I had the golden goat omelette, which was pretty darn tasty. We also have a Florentine, which was all right and the ranchero, I have to say, the golden goat had the best flavor
Over poached my eggs! Twice! Poached egg yolks should not be congealed. They should run over your plate and mix with the hollandaise. Mmmmm. Re-try order took so long to come out my friends were almost done eating and eggs were again over poached. Server did not ask how they were.English muffin was under toasted too - not as big of a problem, but worth mentioning.Sad cause that hash brown cake is so so so yummy. My friend’s over-easy eggs had super runny yolks. I guess I would recommend ordering the Benedict with over-easy eggs!I hate sending plates back. It’s a real bummer. Also makes your friends feel awkward that they’re eating and you’re not which is why it was even more painful that the second plate took so long. Kinda ruined the vibe. Sad birthday brunch.

The food took a half hour to come out and it was incredibly mid. I got the classic breakfast and the hashbrown bar thing that came with it was not good. Our server was nice though! The ambience was p cute but we were stuck in this cramped cubicle area.

The Cricket Cafe is an amazing place. The cafe is small and intimate with a great wait staff who are funny and willing to help you decide what you want when you are undecided on what to get. The food is amazing and so yummy. The breakfast I had was super good and filling. Next I am in Portland, I will be going there again.

One of the best parts of our trip was our walk from the park to Cricket and back to the airbnb! Definitely recommend the skillet with the vegan gravy!!

Jam on Hawthorne was packed, so We went for lunch and ate brunch. The eggs Benedict Florentine was just ok. The sauce not great. But the bowls, cheesy potatoes, biscuits and gravy were all good. And the Bloody Mary w all the toppings! Would definitely go back and try some of the different bowls and scrambles. Not an extensive menu but it works for what it is.
