Ringo's Ale House

Mrs BDB says “it’s time for a cocktail”, one doesn’t argue – at least I don’t. I know better. I just slam the car into reverse or the nearest parking spot, as the case may be, and out we go. Today it was in beautiful (?) (sic) Beaverton, and the nearest purveyor of potables was a placed called “Ringo’s”, referred to at different places online as “Ringo’s Tavern,” or “Ringo’s Ale House.” Burgers Dogs Pizza – Read More>

Shirley's Coffee House

Beaverton Bakery has been an institution in the city of Beaverton and Portland Metro area since 1925. Everyone knows about their great bread, cakes, pies and assorted bake goods, but if you are looking for a good deli sandwich and a bowl of soup for lunch Don’t forget about Shirley’s Coffee House.

Roast Beef On Rye and Tomato Bisque Soup

Shirley’s Coffee House is owned and operated by the folks at Beaverton Bakery. It’s a small and quiet place with only about 8 or 9 tables located on the same block as the bakery. Shirley’s is an excellent place to go for a good cup of coffee and a donut, you can sit at your table and watch donuts being made in the bakery while you eat. but they also have really good sandwich and soup combos . You can get a half sandwich for $2.95 or a full sandwich for $4.95, add a cup of soup for only $1.00.  This week I tried The Roast Beef On Rye and Tomato Bisque Soup and it was excellent (you can’t get the bread much fresher when the bakery is right there).

Donuts Being Made In The Bakery

So next time your at the  bakery around lunch time picking up your favorite baked good, take a few minutes and walk down to the corner and give Shirley’s a try. You won’t be disappointed.
