I am not sure how I missed the memo on the fact that Zell’s Cafe offers some of the best eggs benedict in Portland. This oversight has been corrected. Now I know why some of the ladies in my Pulse PDX Zumba class are regulars here. And, now I wanted to share that option in case you are looking for a nice eggs benedict to spend time with your mom or because you’re a mom- but genius, they have this everyday, not just Sunday, so you can avoid the brunch lines.
Yep, Zell’s serves breakfast everyday, so you don’t have to wait for weekend brunch at this neighborhood spot – you can get this any day. And, coming on a weekday means a much calmer atmosphere and no wait. Make sure you check out what specials they may have for breakfast on the chalkboard.
Shortly after you are seated, you are greeted with complimentary little biscuity scones with butter and raspberry jam as they quickly and efficiently understood our immediate need for coffee. Nothing says being mothered as much as immediately being fed these complimentary biscuity scones upon arrival, like a buttery hug to you mouth and tummy.
They have other offerings- waffles, pancakes, German pancakes, lots of omelettes and hashes, and what I came for, the famous Eggs Benedict. I had mine actually as Eggs Florentine, so that instead of Canadian Bacon I had spinach and tomato.
I think the photos speak for themselves.
Be still my heart. That eggs benedict looks amazing!! I haven’t heard of Zell’s before. That’s so cool that they give you free little scones! Thanks for the great tip, cheers 🙂
Thanks for visiting! I didn’t know about the lil scones, and it was a nice happy moment- reminded me in Chicago when all the ladies get a free powdered donut holes and Milk Duds at Lou Mitchell’s
Oh man, I haven’t been to Zell’s in many, MANY years, but these photos bring back all of those delicious breakfast memories. I think it’s time to go back! Those eggs look perfect.
my husband loves eggs Benedict. I’ll have to take him.
that sauce definitely stands out, and you can see they are generous with it!
Hmmm, Genies is my usual eggs benedict go-to… I will have to try Zell’s when we’re back in town!
funny, you’re the second person to mention Genie’s to me in the past couple days – i admit i’ve never been there for brunch!
Mmmm…..looks delicious! I’ve never been there before!
It’s definitely family friendly too!
You definitely had me at those fluffy biscuit scone things. Yum. I would like all of that, please 🙂
Wow! I’ve never been here, but it looks fantastic!! I am an eggs bene kinda girl so I will let you know how it goes!
I’m definitely an eggs bene girl too, and with crispy potatoes (hash, oven fried, however) of course.
I’ve heard of this restaurant but I’ve never been. That needs to change! 🙂
That’s how I felt when I heard the ladies at the gym talk about it!
