Sellwood-Moreland's Only Tea House
by evil genius
Jade Teahouse & Patisserie has opened along Sellwood's bustling "Antique Row" on SE 13th Avenue.This spacious and bright teahouse offers a kid-friendly, savory, sweet, and cozy coffeehouse alternative for residents and travelers through the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood. Just a few blocks from the traffic of Tacoma Street and the Sellwood Library, Jade opens in time for our much-needed winter warm-ups.
Owner April Ecklund designed the interior herself, from choosing the bamboo-like mosaic tile beneath the counters to the sophisticated, yet cozy furniture. About the assorted knick-knacks for sale, Ecklund says, "I just pick things that amuse me. I hope they amuse someone else too."

Fortunately for me, all but one of the bagel selections were vegan (my toasted onion was tasty without being overwhelming) as were the bialys (which could have actually benefited from a little more flavor).

The Delta Cafe on Woodstock Now Serving Brunch
by pearlgirl
The Delta Cafe has been servin' up southern goodness on Woodstock since 1994—and now it's a great place for a little brunch goodness as well—served Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Have you ever wanted more celery, pickled green beans or just a bit more spice added to your Bloody Mary? Now, you can be in control of your Bloody Mary. At the Delta, they''ll serve you a shot of either the house-infused garlic vodka or habanero tequila (Bloody Maria) and, if you'd like, you can build your own at Delta's build-your-own bloody mary bar—add as much ice, garnish and spice as you like. Or, they can make it for you. Pair your Bloody with beignets, smoked brisket hash, eggs sardou, frittatas or chicken fried steak. As if you weren't salivating already, check out the full menu . It's Monday—why think when you can look at photos instead? Baked eggs, grits and a bloody. Mmmmmm!
