Either/Or is a restaurant on North Williams Avenue in Portland's Boise neighborhood. Previously, Either/Or's original location operated in southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood.[4] The business's name refers to Elliott Smith's 1997 studio album of the same name.[5][6] Either/Or is queer-owned, has a large LGBT clientelle, and is "designed for all marginalized populations to feel at home", according to Jack Rushall of Willamette Week.[7] The restaurant has been described as a "queer space".[8]

The business has operated as a coffee shop during the day and a cocktail bar at night. The "Chinese-influenced" menu has included breakfast sandwiches,[9] noodle bowls with sausage or tofu, as well as vegan "fried chicken" sandwiches.[10] The drink menu has included Aperol spritzes, mimosas,[11] coffee soda,[12] and cocktails which include coffee.[13] The Salty Russian is reminiscent of a White Russian.[14]

Either/Or has also served chai lattes,[15][16] and has used Heart Coffee Roasters.[17][18] The restaurant has also made caramel, orgeat (almond/orange), and vanilla syrups in-house.[19]

Ro Tam is an owner.[20][21] The original location in Sellwood-Moreland closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] The Sellwood-Moreland location also operated as a tea bar, and Tam is also the owner of Tanglewood Beverage Company.[23]

In 2023, Eater Portland editor Brooke Jackson-Glidden received the James Beard Foundation's Jonathan Gold Local Voice Award in part for her essay about Either/Or.[8][24]
