“ Costello’s Travel Cafe is a must-stop to eat!! Grab a patio table if the weather is nice. If not, enjoy sitting at a table in the warm and eclectic interior. I ordered the Bacon and Berry salad with chicken. Phenomenal!! The chicken had a delicious herb crust, and the vinegarette was packed with flavor. I ordered an ice tea that was refreshing and tasty. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast. I highly recommend Costello’s!! ”

“ This place is such a vibe and I loved it! Not only was the atmosphere great with cool deco to look at but the food was absolutely amazing and the people who work there are so pleasant! I got the garden breakfast sandwich and it was perfection. It’s like they added some love to it or something because I’ve never had a breakfast sandwich that yummy! Such a great experience! ”
“ Waffle and two scrambled eggs. Love this place. That was five years ago!! I don’t know why I took so long to come back but a dog may be the reason? Then I find out I can bring my well behaved boy in and get my waffle I have missed so much. It’s the breakfast special today and I hope this place with new ish owners do well and it’s as sweet as ever. ”

Owners make an effort to connect with their customers, welcome feedback, and have a really good sense of what this legacy Portland cafe is about. Community has always been Costello’s core value and that is even stronger today than it was two decades ago. ”
“ I loved visiting Costello’s! The vanilla latte I got was one of the best I’ve ever had- perfect temperature, balance of sweetness and rich espresso flavor, and just the right amount of froth. I’d definitely recommend it with oat milk. The quiche was also great. Overall, the cafe is super cute with its travel theme. I plan to come back on my next visit to Portland! ”

“ Such wonderful staff, Sebastian was fantastic and super friendly! I really enjoyed the breakfast tacos, the salsa is the perfect accent to bring them together. Had the hot chocolate and it was the perfect level of richness. Pairs great with their brown sugar chocolate chip cookies if you’re a chocoholic like me. Can’t wait to come back here many times over! ”
