| - Porter has a very unique location and interior. We tried the breakfast sandwich and the porter pocket, which was like a hot pocket quiche. Both were good, as was the drip coffee that we tried. They also serve beer, wine, bakery items, and lunch.
The only downside is how very small the cafe is, and this is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. There's not much seating inside the actual cafe, but there's additional seating inside the bike shop next door. That seating area has a nice view of the train, which is cool, but it's really awkward to sit and eat among the merchandise and is quite cold. The shop wasn't open yet when we went, but I imagine it would be even more awkward if people were trying to shop around you. It's also quite cold there, but uncomfortably hot inside the cafe because of the open kitchen layout. Because of this, it just isn't a very pleasurable or relaxing dining experience. I don't think it really fits the vibe they're going for, either -- I wouldn't pay $7 for a glass of wine and $10+ for a delicious meal if I had to eat it sitting besides a clothing rack. If you are taking your food to go, or you happen upon the cafe when it isn't very busy, then it's a nice place. I'm hoping they can set up tables out on the platform when it's warmer out - then I would probably go back.
