158 Pickett Street Cafe in Soutd Portland

One of my all time favorite places to get breakfast or lunch with friends! They have amazing bagels and home fries, and their specials are always sure to please. Between the vibe and the food, this place will always be five stars to me.

home made bagels with salmon and capers. world class

Excellent breakfast sandwiches. Other stuff is good, too. Service has gotten slower since the menu expanded, but still very much worth it. Come early if the weather is bad because there's not a ton of seating indoors

Solid breakfast spot! The home fries were amazing. And allows dogs in the back!

Good quality food. A bit pricey so not an everyday thing, but I would go every once in a while. Awesome outside sheeting and a great family spot.Overall my only problem is price.

Small, local bagelshop with really great breakfast options, local coffee and espresso. In the summer it's a treat to bike down to the lighthouse and stop for a fresh bagel.

Friendly staff and environment! Love the backyard picnic style area! Get there early to get the fresh bagels.

Best bagels I’ve had in Maine thus far!

Great food and service, only thing missing is WiFi

Unique choice of bagels, cool laid back atmosphere

Salmon/lox bagel rules!

Tasty breakfest for sure. One of the better places to eat at for a good morning wake up. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff!

Good , but having gone there multiple times over the years. The fact they have done nothing to improve efficiency is a real turn off. The cashier shouldn't be a baristaThat being said the food is amazing .

Warm and cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious baked goods. Try the Super Toast special.

Great place all around! If you're looking to just stop in and get something to go or to sit and chat for a while. They also have great outdoor seating when it's warm out.

Great food! Good coffee, only thing is you need to have time because service takes some. But really worth the wait.

Love to stop here. Left car at Vinnie's across the street to get oil change. Great bagels and super coffee!

Such a cool little place.I've tried pretty much all of the bagels on the menu by now, and all are excellent. Add in the friendly staff, and the awesome back yard to sit out in and enjoy your tea/coffee and bagel.......just heaven. In fact, no - it's horrible, don't come...........I want to keep it all to myself. Muahahahahaah.

Good food. Very nice staff. Helpful with children.

Amazing. Love the food, love the service, love the staff. I would go more often if I lived closer. I go to Rover instead. Fantastic!

SADIE IS THE BEST

Vibe is effortlessly cool. Food is always bomb. Perfect setting. Great staff. Plus the tattoo flash sheets plastering the wall near their bagel case just seals the case that this is the best cafe in all of the greater Portland area.

Best bagels I've ever had. Try it with their chili garlic cream cheese and spinach, it's out of this world. Wish I still lived in the area!

Such a great breakfast place. Highly recommend it!

Great place but the line is long and slow.

Great food, great coffee. Had an everything bagel, toasted with butter and cream cheese. Wonderful staff as well!

Good coffee, tasty sandwiches, and a lovely area to sit out back on nice days. It's my preferred smcc study and lunch spot.

Great little place with a nice atmosphere and delicious food!

This place is highly exceptional and rightfully so.The coffee and the home fries are beyond expectation...STELLAR!The know don’t skimp out on ingredients and quality for sure. (See picture)Great job 158!

My favorite place in south Portland! Delicious, cozy inside. Service is great but know it’s walk up to the counter to order. Can get pretty busy. We called ahead last time and that was easy.

Best bagels in town! The super toast is always good and so is the home fry special. Not to mention the excellent coffee and the staff is always friendly and helpful!

Breakfast salad. Day old bagels (or fresh if you're into that kind of thing.)

Best overall breakfast we've experienced in a long time. The service was friendly and quick, the establishment was very clean, the food and coffee were excellent. We ordered a variety of food and coffee items over the few days we were in Portland. We had a bagel sandwich, a plain bagel with schmear, and the home fries.The all were excellent. We would return here again when in Portland.

A very interesting twist on a bagel cafe. This is a very South Portland place ... very stylish and hip. It’s close to the college so there are plenty of young folks enjoying a bite and a coffee. Inside it’s small, nicely decorated with a few tables for enjoying your meal. In warmer weather, it’s great to enjoy your food relaxing in the backyard.These are not NY style bagels ! They are baked and crunchy vs. boiled then baked to get the shiny crunchy outside and soft chewy inside.158 Cafe has several varieties of bagels to choose from and later in the day popular choices sell out. They have soups, salads, sandwiches and many spreads here. Many traditional egg and bagel combos plus some interesting twists such as smoked salmon and capers. If you don’t mind a non authentic bagel, you can relax and have your latte or chai tea in a pleasant atmosphere.

Amazing bagels, great outdoor seating when it's warm outside.

Always a spectacular experience! Everything bagels are the best here

Ordered an open face it was amazing yall are killing it keep it up

Cured salmon on a seaweed bagel! No idea why I have lived so long without this amazing place!

Friendly service and phenomenal breakfast fare. Great coffee. Best salmon bagel sandwich in Maine!

This place friggen rocks! Great atmosphere — warm and welcoming; attentive and kind serving; superb food and drink! I wish all restaurants I went to exuded this same energy. Big thank you to the business owners. I’ll be back!

What a hidden gem! We got breakfast sandwiches and cookies (no judging please) and Sat out back. The prive, food, and atmosphere easily earn the 5 stars. Go check it out!

I drive out of my way for the bagel sandwiches here. Another "popular" cafe in Portland is two houses down form my apartment but I would rather get in my car and drive across the bridge for these. Try a bagel with cream cheese and olives, it comes open face with plain CC and diced greek olives on it, magical!!

Place is different of a regular cafe. But the hamburgers were delicious and also the lemonade.

Best place to hang out in So Po and commiserate with friends Very friendly staff and good food -- where every meal is a happy meal !!!

Great food, friendly staff and fast service.

What a spot! Amazing food, comfortable atmosphere, great people. Everything I want for breakfast or lunch, or life for that matter. 158 rocks.

After stopping at Scratch Bakery for some bagels, we headed over to 158 for a late breakfast/lunch on a Sunday. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. You've got to try this place. Great coffee too!

Love this place! Really good food, good prices. Small inside, but there is seating. Very busy while we were there - a popular place. Staff was very nice. Highly recommended!

Yummy food, good atmosphere.

Awesome coffee, bagels and more. Be ready to answer when they ask "Are you stayin or goin?"
