Eat here immediately - Edit
Friendly and attentive staff, pancakes the size of your head and a cooler version of iced coffee. Need I say more? This place is fantastic! They were prepping for Mirisata’s opening of an evening and it smelt absolutely incredible in there. Gratuity is included which is much appreciated to confused travellers. GO HERE.

Great breakfast! - Edit
Got there just in time to try their breakfast and we were not disappointed! Everything on the menu is Vegan. If you haven’t already and are a fan of breakfast/brunch, be sure to visit Cooper’s!

Solid Classic Breakfast - Edit
Pancakes were awesome. Maybe not the most unique or special options, does feel like you could just easily make most of it at home (impossible sausage, just egg, just okay coffee), but I love having a vegan breakfast place. I’ll have to dry the non-breakfast items sometime.

Tasty food and lovely staff - Edit
Nice classic American pancakes. Just egg, Hashbrown and muffin was lovely as well, would be nice to have more additions to breakfast e.g. Fruit loaded pancakes, as well as vegetables (even if optional) with the tofu scramble

Huge portions, affordable price, amazing breakfast - Edit
The classic breakfast plate is just perfect! An option to add blueberries or chocolate chips to your pancakes and a choice for just egg or tofu scramble for an egg substitute. It’s also a lot of food so be mindful. We unfortunately didn’t realize and wasted so much food :(

Good Breakfast - Edit
They were cleaning up and servicing the stove in the kitchen. Despite this, they were welcoming and friendly. I had the full breakfast with pancakes, hash browns, "sausage," and tofu scramble. The food was good. It tasted and had a mouth-feel like a non-vegan meal, which would be a plus for if you bring any non-vegans with you. The coffee was very good. The portion was huge and I left very full.

Breakfast that’s out of this world! - Edit
How often can you get a vegan English breakfast?! Trust me… this is better than what you can make at home. These pancakes are so fluffy you won’t even believe it, and you can add blueberries and chocolate chips! The hashbrowns were out of this world, but don’t sleep on the tofu scramble. Huge portions for great prices, I highly recommend getting a large meal so you can try all that Cooper’s has to offer! Get the orange juice if you’re willing to blow a bag

Cozy - Edit
It was my first time visiting definitely will be back next time in town. I had the American breakfast combo, deviled wings, and cider no alcohol. It was all quite yummy, took a to-go bag. Prefer my sausage a bit crisper, but other than that, it was good.

I didn’t realize just how poor my own pancake game was until I had Cooper’s pancakes. WOW. So fluffy and sweet. Didn’t even need syrup. Worth a trip just for the pancakes!

Okay - Edit
Friendly staff and good vibes. I found the food to be just okay. Both dishes seemed under seasoned, and the “eggs”, sausage, and hash brown were more oily than I am used to. The portions were huge; two adults could split one entree.

Acceptable American Breakfast - Edit
So, I would have given this 3 stars personally, but it gets an extra star from me because I love Mirisata. The American Breakfast was good but presented nothing unique or special. What was special was the Egg Roti I got on the side. Combined it was an excellent meal. Also, props for the Worker owned business.
Read morePros: Pancakes were excellent , Worker owned, Mirisata breakfast also available

American Combo - Edit
The pancakes are really fluffly and delicious! The eggs are pretty terrible. They tasted like uncooked, really green mung beans with no attempt to be egg like. The hash brown patties were only crispy, there was absolutely no potatoes left in the center.

Lovely sandwiches - Edit
My friend and I enjoyed two sandwiches from Cooper's. They were serving a special weekend brunch when we got there, but they let us order off the regular lunch menu. We tried the BLT and the Chick'n Club — both delicious!

Best pancake breakfast in Portland - Edit
I arrived here expecting a good breakfast and instead had an incredible breakfast! Cooper’s Co-Op Cafe is a small, unassuming restaurant that as you approach, you’re not sure if it’s the right place.
Read moreThe restaurant doubles as a breakfast spot in the morning and a Sri Lankan restaurant from noon onward. As I arrived the hostess gleefully greeted me and told me to grab a seat either inside or outside. The breakfast menu keeps options simple with less than 10 items to choose from.
Shorty after my cup of water arrived, I ordered the Pancake Breakfast. The pancakes were fluffy and cooked perfectly. The “eggs” were folded, dense just like chicken eggs and super tasty. The hash brown was oily, hot, and had that nice crispy crunch you want it to have.
The food was great, the meal arrived fast and the staff was friendly.
My only criticism is that I would’ve like my “sausage” more well done. Not sure if this is even a thing with Impossible Sausage as I’m recalling the crispy sausage patties I used to eat as an omnivore.
Overall this place gets a solid 8/10. I’ll definitely be back here next time I’m in Portland!
Pros: Good food, Food arrived fast, Service was excellent
Cons: Would’ve like the “sausage cooked crispy

Good - Edit
Came for breakfast and ordered the breaky roti. Should have gone with the spicy version, as there wasn’t much flavour. Filling was just egg and onion. Could have done with a sambal side or some sort of sauce. Didn’t scream Sri Lankan to me. Keen to come back to try more of the menu.

I had a cup of coffee which was good and an all American breakfast which had pancakes, egg, sausage and a hash brown. It was so good that I could not take a good picture. Come hungry. *also i forgot it was a bus your own table and I apologize for leaving my plates there, not my intention.

Incredible food and service - Edit
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was so great! The Sri Lanka coffee was delicious! It’s a co-op so location is with Mirisata, just ask for the breakfast menu and they’ll take care of you! 10/10 would highly recommend!
