Cheap Eats 2008

Though at first glance it looks like just another coffee shop, with its narrow dining room and fewer than 10 tables, this cafe on the edge of Mount Scott Park is much more: The place boasts some of Portland's best biscuits and gravy ($9), served with paper-thin slices of roasted pork loin, two biscuits and rosemary-sausage gravy topped with chunky potato wedges. On the lighter side, try the salmon salad ($9), with Creole-crusted grilled wild salmon, mixed greens, red onion, pecans, berries and citrus-mint vinaigrette. Or, if you're a control freak (or just in a hurry), build your own sandwich for $6. (LH)
