I managed to find time to have have lunch with a friend during a business trip to Portland. She has been going to Zell's for years, and it's a quick walk from her office. We were seated right away and they brought out scones and jam for starters - very tasty! She said that the interior hasn't changed in years,... More

I have heard of Zell's before but never been. So good! I had the corned beef hash and eggs, my pal had the eggs benedict....very tasty. Great service, intuitive but not intrusive. Friendly all the way around. Really neat little neighborhood restaurant. $15 for breakfast, a little high maybe but very good food. More

Zell's is dedicated to using local and organic foods to create their incredible menu. Been eating there for many years - breakfast and lunch. The quality is incredible. They quickly provide their wonderful scones with homemade jelly. The portions always mean I have an extra meal to take home. Such a simple but wonderful place dedicated to quality and service....

gluten free options. good service, good food. extremely busy and noisy. the tinyest bathroom ever. often a wait for a table but if you want salad with salmon for breakfast, Zells is it. More

I’m going to date myself because I’ve been coming to Zell’s for 25+ years. It was great then and it’s great now. Granted, I have the same thing almost ever time, but when it’s a home run, there really isn’t any reason to bunt. I always go for breakfast, but the serve breakfast all day … and they serve lunch...
