Nom Cafe

What a great find. Natasha was the best waitress we have had in Portland and the food was unique and delicious. My only fear is others discovering this hidden gem and making it harder to get in in the future. If you shy away from something new, you are doing yourself a disservice by not trying this place.

Great Bulgarian food and good vibes/atmosphere. I recommend the Eggs Panangura.
The OJ was small but other than that portion sizes were good. They also have Thai Tea which I love. Great brunch place.

This space is a cute vibe, we came in here on Labor Day, really appreciate your staff for being there on a Holiday. Immediately greeted & sat, our server was attentive without being over bearing. We tried multiple dishes, all delicious, so beautifully presented, we especially appreciated the breakfast sandwich with bacon, it was flavorful without being over pretentious(happens a-lot in Portland). The server with the cool mustache even followed us out on the street to give us our leftovers we forgot, thank you. Would recommend & we will be back!

Went here this morning for breakfast. It's very clean, welcoming, beautiful and relaxing decor, noise level is good, food is excellent, service is wonderful and it's a great little brunch place. I'm definitely going back. I got the waffles and my boyfriend got shakshuka. We both loved our meals.

Absolutely loved the food, the server, the host, and the atmosphere. Wasn't crowded at all for Sunday breakfast, but this place should be packed wall to wall with how fast and delicious it was.

Food delicious!
Service top notch!
Atmosphere cozy and welcoming!
Anything in the menu deserves applause.

I rarely leave reviews but the food was so amazing that I wanted to give this place a shout out. The eggs and sausage were some of the best I've ever had, and the staff were very pleasant and attentive. This might be my to-go breakfast spot in Portland from now on.

We came here on a whim because I didn’t recognize the name and thought it might be new. It was SO amazing that we literally came back with more people the next day for brunch. We tried multiple dishes and shared them, and there wasn’t a bad bite. We don’t eat meat, and there were tons of options that worked with our diet. The presentation was just as good as the flavors, textures, and ingredient quality.
We tried the Zara toast (twice), the mushroom toast (twice), the eggs panagura, Shakshuka, crumpets, and the eggplant small plate. I can’t even pick a favorite.

The staff were amazing, too! We were greeted by and chatted with multiple people, and I cannot wait to go back again!

Cute place, smiling and polite staff, very fast service and the food and drinks are great! Highly recommend. I had the waffles and berries and Thai tea

The details! The flavors! How is this my first visit!??? It won’t be my last. The food was amazing. Beautiful presentation, exquisite flavors. A must visit.

The food is incredible here and the people are wonderful. I hardly ever leave reviews these days, but this place really deserves praise. I've eaten the granola, the shaksuka, and I've tried an amazing stuffed French toast special and the kyufte sausage. Everything is so good. The service is super friendly. Nom also provides work opportunities for special needs kids during the week, which they absolutely do not need to do but it illustrates their kindness and community spirit. Great brunch. Try it

Food is fantastic! We didn’t know the place had a Bulgarian bent and wow! So good. And, I left my license there by mistake and they were so nice to keep it safe! Great food and nice people. Highly recommend.

This place is deliciousness. The second time we ate here I got the granola boat and a side of eggs with an iced mocha. My friend got the Thai tea and said it was amazing. The staff couldn’t be any more friendly. A sunny and airy atmosphere. Truly a flight of fantasy, I would highly recommend eating here

Wow! What a fantastic brunch! My family had the avocado toast, the mushroom toast and the breakfast sammie and we all loved our food! Also got a side of the house made sausage (kyufte) which was amazing! The coffee and drinks were great too! Cute spot and good service! Highly recommend!

My husband and I love trying new things. And boy does that bring some of the best experiences we have. Not only was the staff amazing, but the food definitely gets a homemade stamp of approval. If you have been crazing some authentic Bulgarian food, well here it is. It was light, yet fulfilling. We also had the joy of meeting the owners and hearing their story of how this lovely cafe came to be. We will absolutely be back and if you haven't gone, then you are missing out. (This photo doesn't do any justice to how great it tasted)

SO delicious! This is a new favorite for me. The Bulgarian-influenced food is so flavorful and I was pleasantly surprised at how light and refreshing everything was. The mekitsi (crumpets with cheese and honey) and parzhen (eggplant fritters) were my personal favorites, but I’d recommend anything with the Bulgarian cheese or Lutenitza spread - a savory, roasted red pepper dip that’s not to be missed! The butterfly tea was a fun cherry on top of an excellent meal.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff and owners were all warm and attentive . I will definitely be back for some cocktails and brunch soon!

I was so excited to go to this place! I had it bookmarked ahead of our trip. The mimosa flights are what caught my eye and they did NOT disappoint. So cute and colorful! And my breakfast sammie was so delicious. The kyufte took it to another level. The staff was very friendly and talkative which we liked. Can’t wait to come back again!

One of the cutest places to have brunch in Portland and the food is absolutely incredible! Our waiter was also amazing, super helpful and had fun conversation :)

Portland was in dire need of more brunch spots and Nom really delivered. The space is cute, modern and clean with lots of light with a few sweet decor nods to its Bulgarian roots and a beautiful mural done by a local artist. Staff is friendly and attentive and even the owners are always around checking in on how people are enjoying their time and their food. The worst thing about the menu is that it’s so hard to choose. My personal favorite meal there (after trying ~*almost*~ everything) is the eggs panagura and the mekitsi. The panagura is herby and flavorful with perfectly cooked eggs. Eating the whole plate is just enough food to make you feel full but not sick like I do at other brunch places- No one wants leftover eggs! The mekitsi is like breakfast dessert. Sweet crumpets with fresh fruit, honey and cheese that I’ve never had before and I haven’t stopped thinking about since. Did I mention the cocktails? Yes, there’s a mimosa flight but the Tinkerbell cocktail is where it’s at. All this to say, RUN, don’t walk, to Nom. You’re welcome!

Long wait at another place, decided to walk a block away to this spot. Super glad we did. The food was delicious, coffee was great, the atmosphere was perfect and there wasn't a wait! Highly recommend 10/10. Try the shashuka, be a little adventurous if this kind of food isn't on your typical radar.
