Things To Do

Prince Coffee

I might be Prince Coffee's #1 Fan. I go here about 4 times a week, and I have become actual friends with the baristas. My favorite drink here is a hot anijsmelk latte with oat milk. It feels like a warm hug. But during the summer, you can't go wrong with an iced Stroopwaffle latte with oat milk (it tastes like an oatmeal cookie).

Powell's City of Books

This is America's largest used book store. 3 stories high and a city block long, you can spend a day just exploring the inside.

Wahclella Falls Trail

This hike is only a mile long, but beware, it's almost all uphill. That being said, we have decided that it is our favorite waterfall in Portland (even over Multnomah, which we still would recommend.)

Oxbow Regional Park

Looking for a place to just swim in some fresh water? Oxbow is a beautiful place to sit and relax and swim in a natural river.

Laurelhurst Park

A large park with a man-made lake that has many a duck, Laurelhurst is one of Vienna's favorite places to sunbathe and read.

Thai Peacock Restaurant

We went on one of our first dates here (when we dated the first time in 2019). The food is phenomenal and you really can't go wrong, but Vienna's go-to is "Evil Jungle Noodle".

Pac Thai

Insomnia Coffee Co - Baseline

A super fun place to just drink coffee and talk.

Banks Trailhead Banks-Vernonia State Trail

A large bridge and a small river, this is a quick hike that is filled with beauty.

Jones Creek

Jones Creek is a popular part of the river to swim in. There will be a crowd (not as crowded as San Diego Beaches mind you), but there are some really deep spots to swim in, a lot of sun to warm up the water, and some great rocks to lounge on.

La Parrilla kitchen

Some of the best Mexican food in the PNW. Not as good as SD's, but good for the area.
