PDX Parent

The 2026 PDX Parent Family Festival presented by German International School is coming to Topaz Farm on Saturday, June 27 from 9 am-1 pm — and admission is FREE! 🎉 https://pdxparent.com/family-festival/

And yes, I asked the server if they wanted me to blast this information from the rooftops, and they said absolutely. So families, save this for your next Portland brunch plan! 🥞

Hunnymilk has moved and is now serving brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 9 am-2 pm inside La Buca Restaurant on NE 28th.

Even though they don’t mind, if you don’t feel comfortable making a request, they have a couple of options for sides, and the current option of biscuits and strawberry schmear and honey butter would definitely make kiddos happy and keep them busy.

No reservations, just show up and eat something amazing.

I LOVE boba tea and I think I found my new fave spot: Softea in downtown Vancouver.🧋✨ This cute shop serves hand-shaken bubble tea, and soft serve. 🍦Their boba is perfectly chewy (because no one likes sad, mushy boba). And the soft serve: The ube flavor is SO good! 😍 Softea is the kinda place you wanna hang out at. It’s capybara themed!! I was in love from the moment I stepped inside.

📍 808 Main Street, Vancouver
 🕐 Sun–Thurs: 11 am-7 pm | Fri–Sat: 11 am-9 pm
💸 Drinks from $5.95 and soft serve from $5.95

🌟 Also on our radar: In the same space, don’t miss Minari Market, which soft opens this Saturday, May 24 . It’s a Korean-inspired retail space with a self-serve instant ramen bar, house-made onigiri, mochi, Asian snacks, and so much more. 🍜
