Cornell Farm Nursery & Café
Portland, Oregon
1. From family farmhouse to quaint café, the original building at the heart of Cornell Farm was converted to preserve its original details, charming architecture, built-ins and fixtures inside and out. What was once a living room used by the family is now the cafe’s primary dining room.
2. In 2019, the IGC added a covered outdoor pavilion to connect even more diners and nursery-goers with the beauty and history of the site.
3. Since 2016, Cornell Farm has been serving up fresh, seasonal fare from the Blatter family’s historic 1926 farmhouse, which has found a second life as a café with a full espresso bar, pastry case, sit-down brunch service and more.
4. At Cornell Farm Café, guests can enjoy seasonal espresso drinks as well as an ever-rotating menu of pastries and other goodies from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
