Super yum! Be sure to try the Ocean Roll, a croissant like baked treat unlike anything you’ve had before. Also, fresh macarons!? Don’t mind if I do! Pick up a dozen and keep them in the fridge at home, so you can gobble one here and there. Just a few minutes away from both Cedar House & Heppner House! This is a bonus.

Our humble yet determined opinion is that this little restaurant tucked into the back of a grocery store/bakery is some of the very best Mexican food in all of Portland. Call your order in and pick it up in a jiff; it’s right down the street. Head back to the house or if it’s nice out, do it like the locals and go enjoy lunch at Cathedral park.

3 blocks from HH. All the best groceries. Amazing bakery and prepared hot/cold foods. If you’re a chef, you’ll be glad this place is close by. Try the banana cake! You can thank us later.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Your Inn. This place is literally in the middle of a neighborhood with houses all around it. It’s the classic definition of a dive bar, which is why we love it. Nothing hits the spot quite like a bacon cheeseburger, plate of buffalo wings, and an IPA from this place. They do it up right, with unbeatable and personable service. After dinner, go catch an evening stroll at Cathedral Park just a couple blocks away.

If you’re headed to Multnomah Falls, be sure to stop at Sugarpine. Diner food and soft serve, but handmade with the freshest local organic ingredients. It’s a big winner.

You can’t miss this place during your stay. Historic because it was part of the Portland 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition (World’s Fair) and was in fact shipped by boat from downtown Portland where it was used during
the fair to where it sits now. And hey, only a 10 minute walk from Heppner House! Also check out mcmenamins.com for a list of all their amazing properties.

Sightseeing
HH would not exist as it is currently without the ReBuilding Center. If you’re moving to Portland and plan to buy a house, make sure this place is on your radar. The best people, all the new and old building materials you could ever ask for (always rotating, donation based, so it’s always a hunt!) and just totally loved by Josh. If you’re a picker, this place is for you.

The Rebuilding Center is on Mississippi so it couldn’t be that bad. We’re kidding, this street is really great and you’ll have lots to do. But definitely don’t miss the the tacos at ¿Por Qué No? because they ARE THE BEST.
P.S. 15 min drive from HH
