Hawthorne

From the bridge all the way to Mount Tabor, Hawthorne Boulevard ambles across southeast Portland with a laid-back charm. Once a hippie haven, Hawthorne still has a counter-culture vibe — even with the few shiny, multi-story apartment buildings that have sprouted up recently. Walk past those, and you’ll find a funky collection of brunch spots, bars, vintage stores, the prerequisite coffee shop or two, and much more.

Palio may not be right on Hawthorne, but it’s worth the detour into the unique old Ladd’s Addition neighborhood, which huddles around a charming little circular park and roundabout. Palio is perched just across the street, a cozy and quiet location to sip a cappuccino while studying, or to bring a date for a shared slice of chocolate cake. Either way, you can easily disappear for awhile here.
