Rain in the forecast? Take a break from the trails and head inside 3 iconic Portland restaurants that appeared on Grimm.
The beauty of this itinerary is that it will take you to 3 different areas of Portland, from the Pearl, to Northwest, to Downtown core. You can easily explore other sites in the area.
1. Breakfast at Fuller’s Coffee Shop
136 NW 9th Ave. · Pearl District
Start with coffee and breakfast at the counter of this old-school Portland diner. See if you recognize it from “Kiss of the Muse” (Season 2) or “Thanks for the Memories” (Season 4). If you’re rewatching before your trip, Fuller’s gives you two episodes to choose from.
Pro Tip: From here, you're only a few blocks from Powell's, which is a perfectly Portland way to spend a morning or afternoon!

Was Powell's filmed on Grimm? Not exactly... But, a fictional "Nolen's Booksellers" was featured on "Kiss of the Muse" (Episode 220), with details reminiscent of Powell's, and filmed just a block away at The Armory.
2. Lunch at Café Nell
NW 20th Avenue and Kearney Street · Northwest Portland
This corner restaurant in the Alphabet District turned up in “The Hour of Death” and “The Eye of the Beholder.” In the latter, Juliette meets a friend here and Nick joins them. It’s one of those scenes where Grimm lets a real Portland neighborhood shine through.
Pro Tip: Cafe Nell is a few blocks from NW 23rd, where you can stroll and shop the local boutiques, sip some artisan tea, and immerse yourself in the Pacific NW aesthetic.
3. Dinner at Huber’s Café
411 SW 3rd Ave. · Downtown Portland
Finish at Huber’s, which appeared in “The Red Menace” (Season 3). Look up when you go in: the arches and stained glass are part of what makes this dining room so recognizable.
If you’re in the mood for a little tableside theater, Huber’s is also known for its flaming Spanish Coffee, popularized in the 1970s by late owner, James Louie, the drink combines showmanship with rich flavors.
You can spread the three stops across a day or pick just one to work into your trip.
