So excited about this little tiny SE portland brunch spot, Trinket. I stopped in before a long, treacherous day of hiking and left feeling full and ready to rock & roll.  They have so many delicious looking meals and drinks on the MENU - (even a watermelon mimosa!) it was hard to decide!

I settled for "The Cure" - they're version of a bloody mary with fresh beet, carrot and ginger juice AND the "Huevos Al Pastor", which is my favorite type of mexican carnitas with pineapple. 

Open for Brunch DAILY, 8am-3:30pm.
Address: 2035 SE Cesar E. Chavez Blvd. Portland, OR 97214

Wandered into this little cafe this morning when looking for a place to grab coffee and a quick croissant (anything but starbucks!) while staying in NW portland at my boyfriend's parent's condo. 

I opened up the website and saw macaroons and said YES PLEASE. Sadly, no macaroons there today but lots of delicious scones, cookies and croissants. 

I got us the lemon poppyseed scone and a ham and swiss quiche croissant. Both delicious.

Byways Cafe in NW Portland was delicious!

​We went on a sunny weekday morning and there was no wait for a small patio table. We ordered their bloody mary's with bacon which were awesome! I had the migas with fruit instead of potatoes and loved it!

Griddles on the table so you can make your own pancakes. Tons of batter and topping options! I love SE and I love this place! The Marypolitan bloody is amazing with balsamic and basil! We had tons of fun here, I definitely recommend.

SE Portland is my favorite place.. on EARTH.. to brunch. And Genie's is like the hottest bloody mary spot, hands down. They've got tons of housemade infused vodkas. If that aint your thing, the mimosas are pint glass sized and you can get pineapple, orange, grapefruit or mix any of them.  The scorpion mary pictured above is served with a pickled scorpion as a garnish. Order everything here! It's all good.
