Capers Cafe Et Le Bar

Chronically understaffed, but the servers here hustle. Not the best for a super quick bite, but great for a drink or three and some surprisingly good food. Come to the airport early if you have a priority pass, but buy more than $28 or bring cash for a tip. These folks deserve it!

I’ve passed by Capers Café many times while passing thru PDX and last Friday I finally had time to stop in for a late breakfast. My main consensus - not bad for airport food! In fact, I loved it! I ordered a Breakfast Burrito (ham, eggs, potatoes, onions, peppers, chives, cheese, green chilies and cilantro served with sour cream and salsa, $11.25) because the variety of ingredients caught my eye. The sour cream and salsa are served on the side. I even got a ramekin of Tapatio! I have to say it was smaller than I hoped but that’s airport cuisine for you. I really liked how there was an abundance of everything, and not just one or two of the listed ingredients. I didn’t find myself piling on the salsa and hot sauce for flavor, the burrito itself provided plenty of taste! Also, they use higher quality tortillas, the homemade kind that are soft, pliable and oh so delicious. 10/10 would get again! Our waiter, Craig, was absolutely exceptional! The restaurant was definitely short-staffed and he was running around the place like crazy but he did a fantastic job while remaining friendly and attentive! I hope he’s raking in the tips because he deserves it.

I had an absolutely delicious breakfast and then bought a slice of carrot cake to go. Yowza! Some of the best carrot cake I have ever had. (I wish I didn’t live 3,000 miles away.)

As far are airport restaurants go this place is great, recommend the daily special menu, ask the server for this or look at the board. Last time around we had the salmon risotto, butternut ginger squash soup and a pasta chicken dish, all of which tasted great and good quality - we are very critical of restaurants. If you have a priority plus, make sure you use it!
