Description and history

Cup & Saucer Cafe was owned by Karen Harding. Portland Monthly has said, "For over two decades, Cup & Saucer has served up diner classics at multiple locations in Portland. The quintessential Portland diner, offering a menu of egg and tofu scrambles, sweet scones, salads, deli sandwiches, and burgers, this homey eatery caters to a just about everyone with huge portions and sustainable ingredients." [1] The menu also had sour cream coffee cake, as well as gluten-free and vegan options. [2]

The original restaurant opened on Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood, within the Hawthorne District, in the late 1980s. According to The Oregonian , the restaurant's walls were "heavy with posters for women's karate and foreign policy groups". [3] Another location briefly operated in downtown Portland during the early 1990s, and was later replaced by a bicycle shop. [3]

The Cup & Saucer on Denver Avenue in north Portland's Kenton neighborhood was replaced by Derby, which opened in 2018. [4] [5] The Cup & Saucer on Killingsworth Street in northeast Portland's Concordia neighborhood was replaced by Jinx, [6] which opened in 2019. [7] [8] The original Cup & Saucer was the last to close, [9] [10] doing so in early March 2022 after operating for 34 years. [11] Eater Portland attributed the Hawthorne restaurant's closure to the COVID-19 pandemic. The space became a second Little Griddle location. [11]

Reception

In his 2017 city guide of Portland, Robert Hull of The Guardian called the Cup & Saucer in north Portland "a good backup option" for Tin Shed Garden Cafe and recommended the Tommy-go-Hammy omelette. [12]
