Milo Coffee House

Always same experience; great hostess and great food!

Lived in Portland for almost 2 years now and we found this place almost immediately through word of mouth. It's fantastic. There isn't a word in english to describe how much we love this place. The food as been consistently good and as ordered, maybe had 3 mistakes in the 2 years we ordered, which is amazing for food service standards. My fiancee tells me their coffee is fantastic, and I love their sweet tea and chai. If you have the opportunity try the green salsa, they make it in house and it's just amazingly flavorful with the right amount of heat for breakfast foods. Overall 5/5 stars, great staff, great experience, it's SO CLEAN inside, online ordering and in person with easy pay options, I just have to recommend everyone eat here, it's simply the best cafe experience around. I haven't had this good of food and drink from a cafe since we moved from Atlanta.

Great place! Food is some standards and some very healthy options with some unique. Servers are great.

We moved to the Lebanon/Gallatin area 4 years ago from Indianapolis. We find ourselves rolling through Portland as we travel back to Indy for work or to visit old friends. If it’s morning time, we ALWAYS stop at Milo. Sometimes for coffee. Sometimes for an amazing breakfast to go. We’ve never been disappointed. If I lived closer (we’re 30 minutes away) Milo would be my go-to for work meetings, laptop/coffeehouse time or breakfast with my wife.

What a cool space. I love the book section as well as my kids did. Always great food and coffee.

A "Starbucks" type when you first enter, but an additional dining area. Nice atmosphere. Sophisticated without being starchy.
The breakfast was enjoyable but nothing special. Reasonable price. They do serve lunch items as well..burgers, salads,etc. Friendly staff. Plenty of safe parking. The train running beside the building gives it a nice flavor.
A higher class feeling than most Portland establishments.

The food and service was amazing, my complements to the Chef!

Updated Review:

The food has always been excellent, but the service could be very hit or miss so my family had taken a break from visiting. Recently, we received a couple of gift cards for the restaurant and decided to use them a few weeks ago. I was incredibly pleased with the improvements that had been made to the restaurant's service and was impressed with how they handled a full restaurant on a Saturday. The food was delicious as always, and my family plans on visiting more often. We love supporting local restaurants, and Milo Coffee House is truly a gem in Portland.

Decided to take the wife out to lunch, from her office. She wanted Milo's, so, that's where we went. She had the Chicken Salad, and enjoyed it, greatly. I chose a bowl of soup, said soup being Chicken Tortilla.

A nice full bowl was brought out. Lots of chicken, corn, black beans, red and plain corn tortilla strips, cheese...a very filling bowl, indeed. A bit spicier than I personally like, but not something that was going to blister my throat. I detected something missing. Flavor. The soup looked good, smelled good, but, for some reason, seemed to lack the flavor that the smell hinted at. I'm thinking that perhaps, someone got interrupted while seasoning the recipe, and that was the issue. I guess I'll have to return, and give it another try. Maybe it was just an off day for soup, today.

Excellent food. Wish they had delivery.
