Food
A few of my favorites, although I still have many new spots on my bucket list!
Highest quality toppings on a perfectly crispy crust — I eat an entire pizza every time I go!
Ken's Artisan Pizza
Handmade pasta and a great atmosphere. Need I say more?
Grassa
My favorite burrito in Portland — make sure to get the mild green and hot red salsas!
Taqueria La Marquesa
My favorite carts are Thai Sunflowers and Christina’s Cartel! Make sure to go on bingo and trivia nights for food and fun.
Happy Valley Station — Permanent Food Carts
One of Portland’s most well know brunch spots, but that’s for a reason! I have never had a plain oatmeal that was so good!
Jam On Hawthorne
Food for the soul — spend the night playing some board games & watching live sports on 5+ TVs. I love the pickle pizza!
Rudy's Gourmet Pizza
Great food with a beautiful view of the city! It made a great venue for my sister’s engagement party too — catering is great!
Portland City Grill
The Old Spaghetti Factory started right here in PDX — it’s a great spot to view the Willamette.
The *First* Old Spaghetti Factory
Best fries and pickle plate in Milwaukie! So many choices of drink too.
Milwaukie Tasting Room | pFriem Family Brewers
Coffee & Matcha
I make most of my coffee/matcha at home, but here’s where I’m headed if I’m stepping out in the morning!
You have to try the yuzu matcha tonic, especially on a hot summer day!
Project Matcha
One of the most consistent coffee spots with AMAZING seasonal specials! I’m in love with the banana pudding matcha.
Cafe Le Fleurs
Coffee and cars in one spot! So cool to wander around and see what’s for sale.
Porsche Studio Portland
A hidden gem — come early for room to sit! I love the cozy menu and decor.
Elka Bee’s
Day Trips & Activities
These are favorites of my friends, especially the ones who are down for any adventure.
A favorite of my adventure-seeking in-laws!
Tree to Tree Adventure Park
This is also right next to a Top Golf! It’s a great place for some adrenaline and friendly competition. This location is pretty clean and staff are so helpful.
K1 Speed - Indoor Go Karts
Bucket list item! A great spot for someone who’s looking to combine art and play.
Hopscotch | Immersive Art Experience
Ski Bowl is a favorite at all times of year with summer and winter activities for anyone to enjoy!
Alpine Slide Skibowl
Cannon Beach is just about 2 hours west of Portland and has so many cute small businesses to see! I love to stay at the Hallmark Resort and wake up to the misty pink skies.
