I keep Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and John Legend in my car rentals and on my mp3 player, and I've been at Broders Cafe 3 times, and all three times, I was able to groove to all three artists while enjoying some great food. The music is something I wouldn't expect from a Swedish Cafe (considering I'm always the only person of color each time I have gone), so it was very welcome. the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is great each time. When friends come to visit, I must add this cafe to the list of places to bring them to. I was there for my 3rd time on sunday, and the same Jill Scott cd that was playing was the same cd I was listening to on the way to the cafe! This last time I had baked eggs over a potato and beef hash, and walnut toast. AS delicious as the music. First of all, let me say that who ever chooses the music, is the coolest of the cool.

Which is why last weekend I was happy to discover — thanks to my hip and in-the-know friend Kristina –Broder. Portland has a wide array of restaurants featuring cuisine from around the globe, but Broder has the one thing that no one else does: Swedish food. In my personal opinion, it really is hard to go wrong with Scandinavian fare — although my Swedish-born mother might disagree. Simple interior design and just enough lingonberry jam made me feel like I was in a Stockholm cafe… right in Southeast Portland. Read more about Broder on the Stumptowninfo blog.
