Eater PortlandApril 2025 08Behind The Museum Cafe
café1229 Southwest 10th Avenue, Portland★ 4.7Wi‑FiPowerWork 100
Behind the Museum Café is a cafe with two locations in Portland, Oregon, United States. Owner Tomoe Horibuchi opened the original restaurant in 2011 and followed with a second in 2019.
They have a lot of individual tables, half with outlets and half without, and one super large table at the end, so you can pick and choose what is right for your needs. Just a heads up that it’s usually on the quieter side

Radio Room ... earns high marks for having tons of power outlets, decent coffee and a wait staff that's courteous enough to acknowledge when you're still a few hours away from drinking yourself out of the productivity zone.
