Wonderful! Friendly service and the food was delicious and healthy! Incredible French toast and the omelettes are perfectly made. Great selection of tea and coffee drinks. We went around noon on a saturday and did not have to wait for a table. Will definitely be back soon.

I agree with what I've read on Yelp about Artemisia. I wanted to add:
They don't take reservations. -

i went for lunch, right around noon. found the booths to be a little uncomfortable - the distance from table to me was tight where i was sitting, and the table didn't move, so i couldn't adjust it. i'm not that big, and i got used to it, but i imagine some people might find it really tough to negotiate into the booths.
anyway, the food is the important part, right? i ordered the turkey sandwich with stuffing and cranberry mayo, with mixed greens on the side. the turkey was flavorful, the bread was excellent, and the stuffing properly savory. the bread, though, is a good half-inch thick. that much bread plus stuffing was a little too bready for me, so i ended up eating the sandwich open faced. the greens had peppers and dressing, neither of which i was expecting, but fine, i picked around the peppers, and i liked the dressing - i guess i expect to be asked for choice of dressing, and green peppers are one of those things i wish i liked.
service was fast, food was properly tasty, price was reasonable (9 bucks or so). yay. -

In town for a wedding and found this place on the fly. My wife and I were actually in line to be seated at Marcy's when I found this place on Yelp and took a walk over. It's a bit out of the way as others have noted but worth tracking down. Heads up: cash only. The service was extremely prompt and friendly. The food was unreal: my wife had the Florentine Benedict and I had the California omelet. Both came with home fries which had sweet potatoes mixed in and were delicious. We found perfection in the in the food prep, portion and the presentation was beautiful. My wife's chai was to her liking and I recommend saying yes to the raspberry jam if it's offered for your toast. Not enough good things to say about this place - check it out if you're in the area. We'll definitely be stopping in again next time up in Portland.

Checked this little cafe out the other morning for the first time. My wife and I walk past it all the time but have never stopped in. The food was amazing and exactly what we wanted on a lazy sunday. I ordered from the daily special board, a breakfast burrito, and washed it down with some fresh squeezed OJ. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The setting was very inviting and cozy. Can't wait to go back soon.

This has been one of my favorite Portland restaurants for years. The space is wonderful-comfortable with great plants, art work, and interesting decor to investigate. The food is rich and consistently good. Just like the decor there are unique dishes and drinks like Maracuja Orange Tea-great iced. Dishes are reasonably priced and well-portioned. This is one of the most often over-looked spots in Portland. Some of my favorite dishes from over the years have been: for brunch-the breakfast sandwich, veggie hash, huevas rancheros. For lunch-Veggie Dumpling Salad, Sweet Potato Sandwich and the the Portobello Sandwich. Today I had granola with fresh fruit and it was excellent.

A most exciting and interesting breakfast spot. I always get the Huevos Rancheros and I'm always happy. Best toast I've ever had. Waitresses are not bad on the eyes either...and they're nice.

Fantastic french toast and a good breakfast in general. Opens at 9am on the weekends and gets busy fast. In a very pretty part of Portland next to a park you can relax in before/afterward. Overall one of my favorite breakfast spots in Portland.

Set on a quiet side street, parallel to Congress St, it took us 2 years to find this gem. Have only been for brunch but returned within a week of trying it for the first time. The staff members are incredibly friendly.
The oeufs en meurette were delicious and creative, but a bit salty (even for a salt lover like myself). The Southwestern Eggs was simple but satisfying. I had expected all the ingredients (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, beans, etc) to be mixed together as a scramble. Instead, there was a healthy portion of scrambled eggs and smaller side portions of each of the ingredients. The Salmon Hash is out of this world. Generous portion of salmon, potatoes and eggs smothered in a dill creme fraiche sauce to die for. The vegetarian omelet special was a little less tasty than expected but the asparagus was cooked perfectly. This dish also came with a disappointingly tiny portion of home fries. Depending on the day (and not necessarily how busy it is), your water glass may remain empty for a while. Overall, a terrific, cozy place to enjoy brunch in Portland!
