You've already been to the coffee chains - try something special. Unique and extensive drink flavorings, milks, and almost any customization you can think of - but not pretentious or over-priced. Just good coffee, and a few other things. Your trip to the village is not complete without a stop in here.

Best Ramen I've had in Portland. The owners of this shop specifically chose Portland for the water - something about it creating the perfect flavor for the Ramen. Try a house-made cocktail, and some gyoza with your Ramen to create the perfect meal.

Bowls, tacos, fresh guacamole, daily specials, and a selection of homemade salsas ranging from "mild" to "my tongue is dying." Usually a bit of a queue, but that just gives you a few minutes to narrow down your selection from EVERYTHING to JUST THESE 8 THINGS. Come hungry!

If you're on a tour of Ramen, this should be #2 on your list (right after AFURI in downtown Portland). It's located inside Uwajimaya, a fantastic Asian grocery store. The restaurant is not fancy - but you're there for the Ramen, and you've come to the right place. Try the Deluxe, or take a chance with the spicy version. Add more toppings like extra Chasu pork, or a perfectly soft-boiled egg. If you're very hungry, you can order extra broth (Miso is my favorite!) and noodles. Wander around Uwajimaya while you wait. Pro tip: if you know what you want to order, write it down on paper (provided) and hand it to the waiter to expedite starting your order. Don't forget the gyoza!

Great beer and well-made cockails, good food (menu available from Sizzle Pie next door), and usually a funky music selection. Take a Lyft there from the house, and you'll be chilling out in no time! We like sitting at the bar, but there's additional seating upstairs and on the main floor, too.
