Portage Bay

When you want a big breakfast to start off your day, head on over to Portage Bay Cafe. The French toast is made from house made challah bread. If you order any of the sweet breakfast items, you get to use the self-serve Berry Bar, where you can choose from berries, maple syrup, and whip cream. Expect long lines to get in on the weekends, if you do not make a reservation. Portage Bay has four locations in Ballard, South Lake Union, Roosevelt, and University District.
