I love Maggies' Buns. Being a bicyclist and avid seeker of interesting cafes in the Portland area, I was introduced to the place several years ago by the Wheelmen on one of their weekly rides. I couldn't keep up with them but they definitely have good taste. Situated next to Pacific University this place has a great clientelle - Students, cyclists, and locals. Maggie knows her customers and she and her staff and do a great job serving what they want. You have to go there to check out the decor, check out the restrooms (always clean). The place is work of art. The coffee drinks and lunches are very good but would not appeal to snobs or fast food junkies. The atmosphere is relaxed. I happen to have it from a good source, Maggie's daughter, that she is a clean freak. Today after closing I saw three industrious souls cleaning up for at least an hour.
Pros: Maggie, Maggie's staff, Happy Hour from 2:00, Buns are delightful, Everything is very homemade
Cons: Sometimes gets very crowded
