Such friendly service and flavorful, authentic Iraqi dishes! Seating is cozy and warm either inside our outside. Our family have become big fans.

Food is tasty -- though I wouldn't say 5/5 stars on Yelp tasty. Be aware that it's a very small place - most of the seating is outside. Covered w/ heating, but not for everyone during winter.

First let me say this family owned restaurant/lounge is the hidden gem! We had the pleasure of having Leslie, daughter of the owners, and her sister's daughter-in-law serve us. (This is a family owned, family run place.) Both ladies were so sweet! And mom was working too!!! Okay, on to breakfast. Coffee was good black. No bitterness. Cinnamon roll was not too sweet so easy to eat as a side. Eggs were cooked to order and done perfectly. Country potatoes were seasoned just right. Biscuit was soft and not dried out. Hubby said the side is gravy was really good! Sausage was tasty. We could not eat it all so took over fifty percent home for lunch. Like I said, this is a hidden gem that you would not expect breakfast from. And service is top notched! So glad we stopped in! We'll be back.

Family Cafe is a hidden gem in the heart of Beaverton! This family-owned restaurant, run by the sweetest Iraqi couple, truly offers a warm and welcoming experience. The chef and his wife are incredibly kind, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The cafe is beautifully decorated, and there's even outdoor seating if you prefer dining al fresco. The menu has a great variety, but I visited for breakfast and ordered the omelette with cheese bread--both were absolutely delicious! Everything is cooked to order, right in front of you, and you can tell nothing is frozen. Everything is fresh, and the quality is top-notch. Plus, it's halal and offers plenty of vegetarian options, which is a huge bonus. Most dishes come with a side of bread and salad, and you even get complimentary water. And to top it off, the prices are extremely affordable for the quality and portion sizes you get. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic, fresh, and flavorful food with a personal touch!

A small family-run business with some great food! I had the Fava Beans dish and it was delicious and filling, and the bread at the bottom soaked up the sauce quite nicely. This was my first time having a Turkish coffee. It had a fruitier taste than I usually go for but I still enjoyed it. Overall a great place that I will be visiting again.

Year Update Review! I'm very happy to write that everything here is just as exceptional as it was the first time we visited, and now they have their very own homemade hot sauce which has earned a dedicated spot in our fridge! The stuff is awesome on anything and everything. The staff are still probably the nicest people in the neighborhood, providing excellent and attentive service, but more than that, really making us feel like family every time we stop by. Plus, they now have a really nice outdoor dining area that's charming and matches the vibe inside. I really can't say enough nice things about this cafe, it is truly exceptional.

We were wandering the downtown area and admiring all of the new businesses popping up and bringing life to this area and being it was Sunday, several restaurants were closed. We came to Family Cafe and my buddy mentioned that him and his family come here quite often. And yes, they did recognize him when we went in. Family Cafe is a small Iraqi restaurant that serves coffee, tea, smoothies, breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My friend typically comes here for breakfast and an item called the Beef Mix. We opted for a light lunch and some of their wonderful pastries. The spot itself is tiny with maybe five? two tops, but they just constructed a shelter outside for spring and summer seating. Everywhere you look there are signs of middle eastern culture, including many items for sale like necklaces, teapots, mugs, and hamsas (a small symbol that is a hand with an eye within it in middle eastern and Israeli culture). As for the food and drink? I had a milk tea which was quite pleasant with a strong touch of cardamom and my buddy had Turkish coffee. We each got a wrap, one beef and one lamb that are each cut into four pieces, so we swapped two so we could try both. The beef was seasoned with Iraqi spices (per the menu) with cheese and veggies and the lamb was gyro lamb strips. Both came with a very flavorful dipping sauce. We had to get some pistachio baklava (they also have a walnut version) and that was flaky and sweet and nutty. There were a few other dessert and pastry options too including some savory ones that looked tasty. Overall a great experience and I'd like to go back for more. Very friendly family and I got the impression that Family Cafe has been here for quite some time. Enjoy and as always, support our local businesses!

Family Cafe is a tiny shop in central Beaverton. They offer American as well as Arabic food. I ordered a light lunch of delicious baklava, and large portion of fruit salad, and a Turkish coffee. The coffee was such a treat, great flavor. Even though I usually add milk to my coffee, this did not need it. And a lovely presentation - I should get similarly intricate serving ware for home so I can delight in the ritual of drinking coffee even more! Would love to come back for a larger savory meal. It's truly a family run business, and the family is from Bagdad. They are really sweet people, you can tell when you interact with them behind the counter or when they bring your food. Their website says they want customers to feel like they're part of their family. Just a few tables inside (four I think) so seating is limited and there isn't much standing room either. Looks like they have some outdoor seating in nicer weather. They've got a small area with cute merch for sale too. They operate Thursday through Monday, closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Once you overcome the challenging parking then you're in for a treat. The service was top notch friendly and attentive. Seating in a cute and cozy interior is very limited. Iraqi tea was satisfying, they refilled it once. The veggie plate was good, a bit light on spice, but worthy nevertheless. Cheese pastry, halawa, and baklava are all future reorders. Oh, and the dessert that looks like a caramel layered parfait, ya get that. Almost every customer that frequented during my visit was Middle Eastern: a good thing. And many ordered juice smoothies so they must know something. One guy brought his own dates and snacks so it's a place where we people come to socialize. The owners are the type you root for.
