Well, I've stopped hitting up Portland Variety for coffee because Quantum Coffee has them beat. 1 for no pretentious staff, and 2 for actually giving a shit about your response when the asked how you're doing. HOWEVER, I figured I'd go with a girlfriend to Portland for brunch. I am vegan, I asked for a very very basic substitution! Beans (which they serve) for the eggs. NOPE! "We don't make any substitutions here. We can only remove and item" the waiter said in a dismissive tone. I said "wait....so, I remove an item and it's the SAME price?". To which the waiter replied "yes".
I'd give this place 0 stars. They lost me before..I've given them a second chance. I even brought a new patron who was equally disgusted. Shame on your shitty shitty staff and service.
