Tin Shed Garden Cafe

By WW Editorial Staff

Outdoor seating? Check. Charmingly mismatched coffee mugs? Check. Creative scrambles also available with tofu? Check. (Try the Goat Boy, with raspberry-marinated portabella mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese, $8.95.) Dog menu? Check! Indeed, Tin Shed meets all the Portland-appropriate requirements for a Hip Breakfast Joint, yet year after year manages to endear itself to even the most jaded hipster-hater. Why is this? Perhaps it's the buttermilk biscuits with bacon-sausage gravy ($7.95), or the beefed-up burgers on the dinner menu. Our theory: Never underestimate the power of a good bowl of cheese grits. (KH)

1438 NE Alberta St., 288-6966. Breakfast daily, lunch and dinner Wednesday-Sunday.
