If you're over near the RiverPlace Esplanade in Downtown Portland and are looking for an undisturbed atmosphere with healthy options, check out Little River Cafe.  It's tucked away along the Willamette River and would make a perfect stop during a stroller walk or run.  Their menu consists of classic light breakfast options including a Micky Mouse Pancake for your little ones, and quinoa bowls, artisinal sandwiches, wraps, and all natural hambugers for lunch.  They also have a variety of vegetarian options.  For kids, they also serve pb&j and grilled cheese for $5.50 and for desert, they have 20 flavors of Umpqua Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt!

Emily Coleman
Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
