Lightbar- A new Portland cafe!

Like most of us Oregonians, I could use some more sunshine, which is not always readily available in Oregon, but I love it here anyway!

 Recent research reveals that people who live in northern climates can experience problems related to lack of sunlight. When daylight is reduced, Melatonin production increases, causing greater drowsiness and lack of energy. It affects a person physically, emotionally, & mentally. This problem is easily corrected through the use of full-spectrum lighting fixtures.

--> Enter a new European style café at SE 14^th and Morrison, Lightbar! This cafe has therapeutic lighting! Lightbar is the first place on earth where full spectrum lighting and light therapy boxes are available to the public in a café environment

Lightbar serve healthy made “big salads” and Panini’s (gluten free choices too) on their menu created by chef Randy Hopkins. I had one of their specially salads with their homemade dressing which was so good! You can create your own salad with a good variety of ingredients they offer if you choose. They have full children’s menu and tasty gluten-free cookies.

I recently had one of the best tasting cappuccinos (Coava, a Portland roaster company) I ever had at Lightbar! There is a good selection of beer, wine, and craft drinks too!  The “golden hour” is 4pm-7pm & Sundays 2pm-5pm, is where they offer drink specials and more

Lightbar also offers a variety of light boxes and other light therapy devices in their sales area during the day. Just ask a barista or server for assistance.
