Had a really delicious lunch here with the J Club (gluten free version) without the relish since it was described as sweet. The bread was smaller but had nice texture, had seeds, didn't fall apart and the sandwich was well proportioned with ingredients. Side of chips and salad was delicious as well.

Had a great chai latte here. The line was quite long, so I figured it was going to be a good spot!

Great panini and very nice quiet little cafe. I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't speak to their coffee, but the panini I got was so good I was going to come back every morning while I was in town. Sadly, they aren't open on weekends, leaving me panini deprived.

Quick Service. Clean restaurant. Beautifully made latte that tasted great. I also got the Belmont breakfast panini. 100% would get it again.

I was in Portland for a conference and I have to tell you that J Cafe is a hidden gem. I ended up going three times for lunch while I was there. Having some unique food allergies can make eating out a challenge. I ended up getting a grilled cheese and would add bacon to it on sourdough bread. It was really good. You can tell that the owner really cares about his patrons and puts a lot of effort love into his product. I can see what was packed each day I came to eat. I loved the decor and intimate seating that was available. If in Portland, definitely check J Cafe out!

J Café has friendly staff, delicious food, and good vibes. The Nutella and banana grilled panini was amazing! I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you're in the area!

Delicious lunch options near the Oregon Convention Center! I visited twice during my conference and enjoyed having a cafe walking distance. The line was quite long but considering it was one of the only walking distance lunch options, I understood. I wish they stayed open later as I stopped in for a late lunch and to get some work done but they were closing early that day! The indoor seating is limited so avoiding the lunch rush is recommended.

Excellent food and service. every. single time. One of my absolute go to places for early morning breakfast in Portland. The owner is nice, the coffee is delicious and the paninis are delicious! Keep up the great work, J Cafe!
