Sydney’s Cafe NW Portland
Yes, that is a picture of me blogging or twittering at the cafe! This has quickly become one of my new favorite cafes in Portland due to it’s proximity to the main office (not that I spend very much time there) and due to the great drinks and food. They have a cute area for kids that has toys and a couple of flat screens that show constant nature animal footage.

The Airplay Cafe

In the past couple of months I have been to the Airplay Cafe at least once per week (if not twice!). The mornings, around 10am caters to the 4 and under crowd and they have live music for kids, I said LIVE MUSIC for kids! The owners are brilliant for opening this type of cafe with family activities. Every time we go it is beyond packed, so if you do try it out come a little early to get a seat. In the evenings they cater to an older crowd with great musicians and adult beverages.
