According to an article in Tuesday’s Portland Daily Sun, the Exchange Street Cafe plans to start serving breakfast.
Manager Cynthia Tubbs-Maier, 56, is a proven fixture on the Portland food scene having started Black Tie Catering in 1987 with then business partner, Chris Webber. Selling her ownership in 1995, and parting amicably. Tubbs-Maier went on to the Whip ‘N Spoon as the General Manager and Directer of the cooking school, a concept just ahead of its time. Moving on to other ventures such as being the general manager of The Portland Club and overseeing things at The Danforth Inn, Tubbs-Maier has brought her skill set to spearhead breakfast at Exchange Street Cafe. Located at 7 Exchange, Tubbs-Maier has also brought along Patrice Keating, her right hand from past ventures.
This is wonderful news as with the closing of the Port Hole, there is no place during the week that serves a full breakfast in that area. And I can’t remember the lady time anyone on Exchamge Street served a full breakfast as O’Natural’s just did breakfast sandwiches.
