Genies, Portland

Just a quick ride from downtown and you'll soon find yourself at one of Portland's hippest brunch spots. Eggs are the stars here, including a particularly rich and innovative benedict selection that shines the brightest. Breakfast is served all day, along with an array of luncheon sandwiches. Weekends often find people on the sidewalk, sipping the local Stumptown coffee, waiting for the next free table to open up. Be sure and check the board for daily brunch specials and the drink of the day. Revelers will appreciate one of the most sublimely balanced Bloody Marys in town, made from house-infused vodkas.
