Cameo Cafe



This intimate Portland treasure is a must for breakfast lovers. Tables placed in nooks give you a sense of privacy and importance, the wait-staff is friendly and efficient and the food is incredible! Pancakes are ordered by the acre and can be custom made with your choice of berries. I ordered a banana and blueberry pancake with strawberries on top. The pancake was served drooping over the edges of a standard ...
