This filming location for Portlandia was featured in Episode 6 of Season 1, in a sketch that could be best described as "gourmet chefs get crazy sexy on their photo shoot."
In the sketch, the exterior of the restaurant says "Porchlight", but it's a southern cuisine place called Screen Door. No word on whether the chefs really do lines of flour.

Everybody makes the team in Portland.

The Women and Women First Bookstore (real name: In Other Words Women's Bookstore) is located here. Run by Toni and Candace (Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen), it has a pretty diverse client base, including Steve Buscemi, Aubrey Plaza, and Heather Graham. I haven't tried the campu-choochoo-choochoo tea there, but I heard it tastes like soot and hot water and looks like a stillbirth.

In Season 1, Episode 6 of Portlandia, this coffee house is where Fred and Carrie meet the mayor (Kyle MacLachlan) when he has the bold idea of bringing a professional baseball team to Portland (and to get bagels). The Portland Thinkers are later transmuted into a cartoon at this same place.
