Coffee and beer.
Even with the prevalence of Starbucks, it's sometimes really hard to get a good cup of coffee elsewhere. It's also hard to find similar coffeeshop culture beyond the PacNW, with the exception of some college towns.
And though there are other places in the world with excellent beers, nowhere else beats the selection available to me here. There is no doubt about it; Oregon loves beer. Though microbrewing has caught on in other parts of the United States, certainly, there are still enormous black holes where the predominant beer served is Budweiser (shudder). And often, when I do find a beer that I like somewhere far away, it makes me think of a beer back home, brewed in my home state, and that makes me very homesick indeed.
