Portland, OR: Fabulous Waffles and Other Breakfast Treats at Fresco Caffe
April 9, 2005

Listen to this feature (How to listen)

The Sterns think the Pacific Northwest has the best breakfasts in the entire country! When they're in the area and waffles are on their minds, they head to Fresco Caffe in Portland, Oregon. They serve three meals a day at this town café, but the breakfast fare is what Jane and Michael go for.

Waffles are the highlight here. The oat waffles (thin treads!) are first rate, and the crushed hazelnuts put them over the top. Other great breakfast dishes include "complicated potatoes"(roasted red skin potatoes topped with veggies and cheese), steamed scrambled eggs, and homemade granola.

Fresco Caffe
2387 NW Thurman Street
Portland, OR

Update, June 5, 2006. The Fresco Caffe, sadly, is no longer in business.
