Park Avenue Cafe — Restaurant in Portland

Went there in a group of 3 and had never been here before. my sister ordered the park avenue special sandwich and she didn't know there was multiple options for that special, the employee who 'helped' us was a petite woman who had red hair and bangs, and after we all ordered, she gave my sister her drink, I waited a second to see if she was gonna give me mine or bring to me later on becase she had no communication skills whatsoever and she looked at me like I was stupid and said "well are you gonna get something else?"

The food and coffee was delicious, I had the turkey and Swiss BLT with my coffee. When it came to the end of the meal, we had gotten up and she walked by and said "You need to clean up your table and put the dishes in the tub over there." Being surprised by the comment I said "what?" To make sure I heard her clearly, she then coming closer repeated the same comment. which I felt was quite rude considering there was 2 other tables was left with dishes which she said nothing about to those customers and I felt a little upset paying someone else, and still doing part of their job to clean up the whole table.

A strange combination of not really 100% knowing what they're doing and not really being interested in the job is really apparent.

What was once a good neighborhood cafe well worth regular visits is now nothing more than a typical overpriced cafe not worth the time or money. Again, I can't be too harsh because it's not any worse than just a slide...

This place goes above and beyond to accommodate for customers ON TOP of having amazing food and drinks. For instance, when I stopped in today, I got the wrong drink and was unable to get it remade as I was running late for class. They remembered my drink order over 2 hours later and were able to make it for me without question or charge, even when the shifts had changed and it was new people taking orders. I really love the customer service here. On top of this, the cafe has such a nice atmosphere and the owner of the cafe is there on a daily basis and really gets to know the customers first hand. It's so hard to find a place like this in Portland. Park Avenue Cafe is...
