Beverage or soft serve!

We stopped in for coffee, a matcha soy latte and matcha soft serve! Was told be the (what appeared to be manager) that none of the food is vegan so be aware of that. Matcha latte was good, coffee was
Ok and soft serve was our favorite!

Lovely light food

Some nice vegan options in a lovely café behind the Portland Art Museum. Ordered miso soup and asked if it contained dashi flakes. I was told no so I went to sit down and wait for my order. The server called me back and apologized, saying that the miso in fact contained dashi. Very nice of her to double check. But be sure not to order miso soup!

Pros: Food, Ambiance, Location

Cons: Limited menu

excellent matcha latte

I just got a matcha latte with soy and it was delicious :-) I don't think the baked goods are vegan, which is too bad, but I'll definitely be back for a study spot in the future.
