Clyde Common is one of the hottest restaurants in Portland right now. It is also loud enough to bring well-behaved children (and provides high-chairs).

This cupcake bakery sells delicious filled cupcakes (and mini-cupcakes) to take away. The menu changes monthly to keep things interesting, and there is a different selection each day of the week. Some recent choices included a Mimosa Cupcake: an orange yogurt cake filled with orange champagne pastry cream and iced with champagne buttercream and Downtown Cupcake Brown: devil's food cake filled with chocolate ganache and topped with fudge icing. If the bakers are in the kitchen (and they usually are) they are very accommodating about letting you choose your own flavor combinations. more

Known as the best bread bakery in Portland, and I have to say that I agree. Not only are the fresh breads delicious, but they also have excellent pastry and takaway sandwiches. On a recent trip we picked up Peanut Butter and Jelly for my son, yougurt for my daughter, and chevre, prosciutto, and fig jam sandwiches for the grownups. The convenient location makes it a great place to pick up a picnic lunch. more

Some argue that Voodoo Doughnuts are the best on the West Coast. We're not sure, but they're definitely delicious... and creative. Try the Memphis Mafia, a doughnut with chocolate chips, banana and peanutbutter glaze. Best of all, Voodoo is open 24 hours, perfect when baby is up in the middle of the night and you have given up hope of going back to sleep. Be warned ... though ... some of the doughnuts are are a little... anthropomorphic ... so if your kids are at an age where they might ask a lot of uncomfortable questions, you might want to send one adult ahead to pick up doughnuts and bring them back. more

Mother's is high-end comfort food at it's best. "Authentic cooking from mothers around the world." They welcome babies, toddlers, kids, and adults of all ages. Kid's corner with toys to keep little ones busy when waiting for dinner or waiting for mom and dad to finish up. Kids menu is amazing. Delicious homemade bread offered when you sit down to dinner and everyone gets a cookie for dessert. Mother's is awesome for special nights out like anniversaries and birthdays...or if you just want to make any old weeknight feel special. We like to go early on weeknights with our toddler, but we've always felt welcome with him no matter the time of day. more

They even offer baby food on their kids menu, and you can ask them to bring you a bit of pizza dough for your little ones to play with at the table!

We often eat here with our friends who also have young children. more
