What people say, in short
Harlow's breakfast recommendations cover its Portland outlets, including NW 23rd. Commenters suggest it for vegan choices and lighter breakfast plans. One calls it a Portland classic; another likes it but finds the style too earthy for a traditional brunch. A further diner considers it overrated. The broader citywide praise should not be mistaken for accounts solely from the Northwest location.
