★★★★★ 5.0 Dana Elm · Feb 2026

Absolutely delicious breakfast experience. Everything tasted super fresh, flavorful, and unique. I especially loved the hash browns/potatoes, they had a rich taste, were very satisfying, and the portion sizes were just right: filling without being too heavy. The price was also very reasonable .. about $55 for the two of us — which felt fair for the quality and portions. The only small service miss was that no one asked how I wanted my eggs cooked. I happen to like them runny, so it worked out for me, but it could be an issue for guests who prefer them more well done. They were also out of lots of menu items (cafe). The atmosphere is beautiful and really adds to the overall experience. The only downside was when we were leaving, there were around six dogs gathered in the lobby area, which m

Salt Yard, located on the ground floor of the Canopy Hotel in downtown Portland, is an absolute gem. The space itself is stunning—luxurious, modern, and incredibly inviting, with an open, airy design that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. It feels elevated without being intimidating, and effortlessly stylish. The drink menu is truly unique and creative. Standouts include the Salt Yard Latte, an espresso with caramel and sea salt, the Matcha Dubai Chocolate, and the honey lavender latte—each one thoughtfully crafted and perfectly balanced. These aren’t just drinks; they feel like small indulgent experiences. Beyond coffee, Salt Yard also offers an extensive menu of breakfast plates, making it an ideal spot whether you’re grabbing a morning latte or settling in for a relaxed bre

★★★★★ 5.0 Genita Johnson · Feb 2026

I went to Salt Yard & Cafe twice just for drinks — and the TikTok hype was actually worth it. The coffee was to die for, and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. I even missed cafe hours on Monday, and the bartender still made our coffee. That kind of service makes a place memorable. 10/10 would go back and I havent stopped thinking about that coffee.

My search is over. I have found the absolute best corned beef hash in my life. I don't know if I could make it at home any better. One bite of this and you'll be looking in the kitchen to see if your mom is back there. Great atmosphere for sitting and chatting. Great coffee options. All around nice place with super service. If you're in the area give this place a try.

I had lunch here and everything was delicious. I’ve had the Salt Yard Latte twice now and it’s really good, I prefer it hot over iced. The chowder and the leek soup were so delicious. The clarified cocktail was so so so good!
