Cafe Theobroma, Portland

If you want it to be, it's always morning at Cafe Theobroma—they serve breakfast all day. The chefs have designed their fare to be flavorful yet light and energizing, so you can sustain a stimulated feeling all day without taking breaks to touch an electric fence. Try the quiche filled with chicken and caramelized apples, sweet and savory crepes, or omelets studded with cuts of Pacific salmon. These pair well with the cups of Illy coffee or any of the bar's classic cocktails.

But though their fare is light, it's still hearty—in the Rome Hunting salad, for example, they toss seasoned beef and sauteed mushrooms with pistachio dressing and a drizzle of cranberry sauce. There are also gourmet sandwich options.
