Who we are
By serving up delectable breakfast offerings, gourmet salads, sandwiches, and flavorful bites, we aim to offer a light, healthy, and flavorsome fare that not only satisfies the taste buds but also uplifts the spirit. We endeavor to provide an inviting alternative, making our patrons feel good and fostering a sense of community in every visit.
Our journey began with a simple idea: to create a community-centric gathering spot that marries good-for-you food with a welcoming ambiance. We believe in nourishing both body and soul. That's why we've crafted a menu filled with delectable breakfast offerings, gourmet salads, sandwiches, and flavorful bites that not only tantalize the taste buds but also uplift the spirit. Paired with our carefully curated selection of espresso beverages and light alcoholic drinks, we strive to provide an inviting atmosphere where every visit feels like a warm embrace.
"The meaning of Lei Brilla comes from the heart. My father has texted me shine every day since I was a sophomore in college. In my late teens to my twenties, I was navigating my way through life and trying to find that all-encompassing light within me that my father reminded me every day to find. I have found myself in more ways than one living in Portland. I have found peace with myself and found my home in this community.
Lei Brilla means 'she shines' in Italian. That "she" is me. "
-Riley, Owner
Here, amidst Lei Brilla’s atmosphere, we aim to create a space where these relationships can flourish. Lei Brilla presents a warm and inviting environment for all to stop in - from remote workers needing a space, friends connecting after a workout, and those meeting for a light drink before dinner.
We aim to foster a sense of community. Where together, we shine a little brighter.
