    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
