This last week I did a little shoe intervention with one of my friends. She hadn’t bought any new shoes in 7 years so we figured it was about time. We had a great time at Nordstrom Rack and she walked out with 5 pairs of shoes! We were quite famished from all that hard work so we headed over to the Hands on Cafe at the Oregon School of Arts & Craft.

Have you heard of it?
The cafe is located at 8215 SW Barnes Rd, Oregon College of Arts and Crafts, Portland, OR 97225 and is open Mon-Fri 11:30am-2pm, 5:30pm-7:30pm; Sun 9:30am-1:30pm.
Prices are incredibly reasonable and average about $6.00. I have only enjoyed lunch there but am anxious to try it for dinner too!
It is a little hidden treasure over on the west side just down the road from St. Vincent’s Hospital. It had been several years since I had been there and I forgot how much I like the place.

It is a cozy, student run restaurant and the daily specials are prepared right there in their small kitchen each day. The menu is rather limited but it is always hard to choose! The menu changes on a daily basis so it is always a fun surprise to see what they are offering.

Here is Jack – he is the one that took our order and he also made the delicious soup we ordered. It was a tomato, roasted red pepper and blue cheese soup – so good!

My friend and I both had the soup/salad combo. I had bread with mine, she was good and didn’t.

For lunch we split a piece of this amazing lemon cake with lemon curd and whipped cream. After I took my first bite I was wishing we had each got our own – I wanted to lick the plate the lemon curd was so good.

After lunch be sure and visit the gift shop that is right next door that is full of beautiful creations made by the students at the school.

I wish a school I had gone to had had a cafeteria this amazing.
Just be prepared – they only take cash!
