Brunch in Portland is quite the event. There are SO many tried and true brunch favorites in town. I always am looking to try the newest brunch menus, but that comes at a cost…waiting in line. Trust me when I say D is reluctant (at best) to wait in line for breakfast. It’s never an easy sell. SO when I was invited to try Circa 33’s new brunch menu– I was so excited. What was EVEN more exciting- when I headed back 2 weeks later. Amazing brunch my friends..with little wait. Dream come true.
Circa 33
I had never been to Circa 33 before, only heard about the amazing bar program. I wasn’t disappointed when we headed over for brunch. The cocktails were on point. I also loved the speakeasy vibes. (there is a secret room behind the bookcase- no joke!). The menu had classic brunch dishes with a Pacific Northwest twist. Everything we tried was fresh, light (hard to do with eggs benedict!), and SO flavorful.
The bloody mary was AMAZING. I consider myself a bloody mary aficionado and this one passed my test. Are you seeing that delicious bacon? Don’t miss the Mimosa or the Circa Pimm’s Cup!




There you have it- an amazing Portland brunch spot and hopefully little to no wait. If you are like me and brunch is a must on the weekend, check out Circa 33 for brunch. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks to Circa 33 for hosting us- We will be back again!
Love,

Beautiful photos! Sounds delicious!! I love when nice bars/unexpected places have good brunch, too!
Thank you! I really enjoyed the food!
Brunch is only the best invention ever!! Looks delicious!! That bloody mary has my mouth watering & I know a thing or two about that drink as well =D (however, I’m from Canada, so I’m more of a Cesar’s gal) Cheers x
OMGOSH I love Cesar’s too!! I need to order those more often.
my husband and i are currently planning a portland trip! This looks SO delicious! Thanks for the rec!
Hi Kristen, Ohh let me know if you need any recommendations- I’d be happy to email you 🙂
Great review! Those biscuits and gravy looks Ah-mazing!
That bloody looks amaze!!
This all looks wonderful! Definitely adding to my list of places to see when we visit.
I’m also loath to stand in lines for restaurants – I burned out on that while living in NYC where everything is a struggle. The brunch sounds really good here – love your mouthwatering photos!
Thank you Meg! You should try it- I bet you’d enjoy it

Oh my goodness! The food and drinks at Circa 33 look absolutely amazing! I wish I lived near their location. Hands down, that would be my favorite place for brunch!
Wow, that all looks SO good! Wish it was a lot closer to me… wait, no, it’s probably good that it’s not closer to me! lol
