At first, I was a little worried that we would have to wait a long time for a table, but my wife and I were seated after only five or ten minutes. Yay! On our way to the table we passed the toppings bar which consists of fresh fruits, nuts, butter, and syrup. It looked so inviting. The seating area is a little crowded and noisy so, if you're looking for an intimate breakfast for two, this is not the place for you. They are able to accommodate pretty large groups which may make breakfast with lots of you friends a nice experience. I watched several of the people nearby enjoying their food. Everyone, adults and children, seemed happy and pleased with their meals.
We ordered orange juice and coffee while we looked over the menu. The orange juice tasted fresh and the coffee was nice. I especially liked that their coffee mugs have big handles...I hate those little dainty cups that only allow the tip of your index finger and thumb to be useful. Everything sounded great. It was hard to choose. I had made up my mind before choosing this place that I wanted pancakes, but after seeing the Dungeness Crab Cake Benedict I quickly changed my tune. Thankfully, my wife ordered the Swedish Pancakes and I was able to have both my desires satisfied. The crab cakes were fantastic. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and smooth, and all the flavors complimented each other very well. Having ordered pancakes, my wife was able to select an assortment of berries from the toppings bar. I think every single berry that found it's way into my mouth was perfect. The ligonberry butter for the Swedish Pancakes was extremely tasty.
Overall, I thought Portage Bay Cafe was a hit. I definitely recommend it for breakfast and I'll will be making many more trips there in the future.
