Kopi Coffee House

[Retroactive post - written on 7/8/2020 but backdated to 3/14/19 - which is funny since our actual trip was Spring 2018]

Our next stop of the day after having had lunch at Nick's ...

was this coffee house specializing in coffee and drinks from Southeast Asia. It is also next to a popular brunch spot, The Screen Door (which was mocked in an older Portlandia episode)

Nick's Famous Coney Island

Steps away from the Bagdad Theater is this old school sign proclaiming, Nick's Famous Coney Island Food...

I remember seeing it back in 2010 and again in 2012...

Stuff seen on Hawthorne St...

We hadn't been back to this area since our visit in 2012...

Hawthorne St. is part of the Hawthorne District...

The now defunct I Heart Retro, Portland OR

Next door to Carnelian Coffee was yet another vintage store.

It was always fun checking out the many cool vignettes within...

Carnelian Coffee

After our quick snack at An Xuyen, we headed off for coffee in the Foster-Powell area...

Before our trip, I saw that there was a just opened coffee shop called Carnelian...

which was An Xuyen in the SE Quadrant...

Pips & Bounce, Portland

Even in Portland, we saw a San Diego based brewery,

which was Modern Times. But this post is not about them, it's about Bert's choice of venue for entertainment...

Coava is a roaster local to Portland...

This was one of their newer locations...

After our fun stop at TOV Coffee House...

we made our de rigeur stop at a local comic shop...

Portland Day 4 - ToV Coffee House

I didn't have coffee earlier that morning when we did the aerial tram. Hospital coffee isn't my thing, ha ha.

I wanted us to try this place I read about prior to our trip...

Portland Day 4 - Rose & VL Deli

Fresh from our donut haul from Doe Donuts,

we ventured further eastward on Powell Blvd...

Portland Day 4 - Even more donuts, this time from Doe Donuts!

Yes...from Coco Donuts on the SW quadrant,

over to the SE quadrant for more donuts!

Portland Day 3 - Red Fox Vintage + Grand Central Bakery in Woodstock

Just up the street from Cloud City Ice Cream...

is another of of Portland's many thrift stores...

Portland Day 3 - Elk Rock Garden at the Bishop's Close

After our morning coffee from Either/Or,

and headed back across the bridge...

Portland Day 3 - Either/Or Coffee

Our third day in Portland began bright and early...well, more like cloudy, eh.

We crossed one of Portland's many bridges...

When we were in PDX in 2012, Blue Star hadn't existed yet...

since then, this donut shop has expanded to several locations...

Portland Day 2 - Return to Movie Madness (formerly known as Mike's Movie Madness)

The morning's events were quite exciting...

and we would later end up watching news coverage later that evening...
