The St. Johns neighborhood is a hidden gem that combines the best of small-town charm with urban convenience at the northern tip of Portland. This quaint district boasts an array of majestic parks, inviting coffee shops, delectable restaurants and fun boutiques all in the shadow of the iconic St Johns Bridge. Here are our current St. Johns favorites … and if you find yourself at the farmers market on Saturday, pop over to see Matt’s newest listing (a 3 Bed PDX Craftsman Zoned R2.5 that would make a great equity-builder in this current market!)
The Great North Coffee Shop – Switch up your pumpkin spice latte routine with the Great North’s Cardigan (Cold brew concentrate, house-made Star Anise simple syrup and milk, topped with a cozy spice blend!)
The Fixin’ To – St. Johns’ live music venue! Come for the show, stay for the comfort food including frito pies and pimento cheese.
Tienda Santa Cruz – In terms of tastiness and affordability, their tacos can’t be beat. The taqueria is located at the back of the store and remains a very popular lunchtime destination for a quick bite.
