    Stein's

    One of the best sandwiches in Portland! Fresh ingredients, bread with the right texture, and great combinations on their menu, I just wish they were open weekends so I could stop by more often when I find myself in the area. Their new space has great creative energy with big murals and a fun layout.

    BLT salad

    Great bay area style sandwich place in Portland and one of the only places to offer Dutch crunch bread. Chubby Puggy and BLT salad are favorites of mine.

    10/10 sandwich shop!! I don't eat any deli meat and I do enjoy as odd as it sounds the occasional sandwich! I I kid you not this is the best vegetarian sandwich ever. I have no hope to recreate this masterpiece. They even cut my half sando in half! Very kind of them. They also nestle napkins into the sandwich for easy carrying. My only pain point is I wish they were open weekends, I would definitely be back more often. Great selection of sandwiches and very very happy I went!

    First thing first, the sandwiches were fantastic, no complaints at all. Perfect portions from the meat to condiments I'll admit that during lunchtime, it gets packed, but I assure you it is worth the wait. Cleanliness was definitely noticeable. I even noticed that the cashier would wash his hands after every phone call. If you ever get a break during the day, definitely stop by Break Bread. Service 10/10 Food 10/10

    BLT Salad, Strami Sandwich, and the Steins Sandwich

    I was having an ITCH for a sandwich and after seeing this spot on Tiktok, I had to try it. The inside of the shop is spacious, but there is limited seating (only 2-3 tables with only 2 seats each). It is much better spot for to-go. I thought it was so creative the way they had their menu painted on a giant space on the wall, and it was so done so well and separated by meats. They have a variety of sandwiches and salads, but my favorite part is how they offer full and half portions! As someone who has a smaller appetite, often times a full sandwich is too much for me. My boyfriend and I ordered a BLT salad and two half portions of the Stein and the Strami. The portions were PERFECT, meat was plentiful, and the bread was amazing. Loved how they paired each of the ingredients in each sandwich and the salad was light and refreshing. I would love to come back here to try some of their other sandwiches!

    Hands down Break Bread is my favorite shop in all of Portland. Their bread is amazing and their sandwich options, in particular the sauces, truly stand out. They can get very busy at lunch so I recommend ordering online a head of time. Also as a first time visitor I did get lost as I didn't expect a sandwich shop inside of a building that appears to be a bank; just follow the smell of sandwiches.

    Atmosphere: Take-out only when I went. You ordered at the counter and they brought it out Food:Eh sandwich was average tbh. Just didn't really come together all that well. Would rather get a hoagie somewhere Price: Little expensive for a sandwich IMO Service: Service was fine Parking: Street parking

Menu: There are pre-designed signature bowls and there's a build your own bowl option that's starts at $16. I opted for building my own bowl: brown rice, the included sides of imitation krab, cucumbers, seaweed salad, corn, crispy onions, and went with salmon shoyu poke. Absolutely delicious, salmon was so tender and marinated with just the right amount of sauce. 9/10! I find the canned yellow corn a little odd (not something you typically see in Hawaii poke bowls), but it works and I didn't mind the extra color/crunch. Portion size was great for there being one size. The interior of the space is a nice corner location off Hoyt and NW 11th, so lots of bright natural light, cute but simple decor with wood slats decorated along their white walls and cute plants tucked into the corners. Service was quick and presentation of the bowl was great. I'm really excited about this spot, my new favorite lunch spot when at work. Will spread word to my coworkers of course! Hope All Blue sticks around for a while!

The patty was cooked with a slight pink -- exactly how it should be -- juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The spring lettuce was an interesting switch from the usual, but it actually worked and gave the burger a fresh bite. It's a solid-sized burger too, definitely filling. Only minor thing was some of the cheese slid off, but nothing that took away from it overall. I also tried the Caesar salad. It didn't come with croutons (not sure if that's intentional), and while the dressing was evenly coated, the Parmesan was a bit heavy and ended up overpowering the rest. Not bad, just not as balanced as it could be. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It's put together in a way that makes you forget you're even in the city -- relaxed, comfortable, and easy to settle into. Service was easily a 10/10. Attentive without being overbearing, respectful, and genuinely friendly -- the kind of staff that makes the experience better without trying too hard. Overall, a really solid spot. I'd come back without hesitation.

Their tap list is extensive but also includes non-standard options. We love to see non-alcoholic beers as well as gluten free beer, cider, cocktails, and other libations. The food menu is great too. There are several items that either come gluten free or can be modified to be. The servers are knowledgeable about the ingredients of the menu items and I feel confident and safe eating here when gluten free is a need for me. They can get pretty crowded, but have several seating options. It was nice out today so outdoor seating was even possible, though it looked like there was a wait. There are tvs in several spots that showcase local sports when possible. There is a kids area and you can sit close while the kids play. Everyone we come in contact with here from servers to hosts are super friendly and welcoming. The food is pretty good. This time around, we shared the garlic Parmesan fries and the chicken wings (buffalo and honey gojuchang sauces). The wings were smoked and moist with good flavor. The fries were alright. More of the aioli would have helped so maybe request extra sauce or get some on the side. The dessert menu has some non-traditional offerings. The highlight for me was the cheesecake. I was assured by a server one time that the chef creates a gluten free cheesecake that rotates on the seasonal dessert menu. The current offering is tiramisu. The coffee chocolate sauce is good and I appreciated the bonus chocolate chip biscotti. The actual cheesecake is decent and I would be excited to try other flavors in the future.

We got here at 10am on a Monday, and every table was filled. It looked like they had numerous staff, but I would guess that the traffic level must be hard to manage. Perhaps because of this, my order of Sawmill breakfast was very poorly prepared. The gravy was luke warm at best. The eggs had the texture of frozen powdered egg that was just thawed. The biscuit was like a brick and hard to eat. I also saw numerous other patrons who were leaving their scrambled eggs untouched. The chicken tenders were warm and delicious, and the quiche was decent. Salad was probably the highlight. Besides that, I think the vibes inside the restaurant were very beautiful and memorable. Just unfortunate that the food was very sub par. I probably wouldn't recommend if you were trying to impress someone important.

We couldn't decide what to order, so we split the Huevos Rancheros, and wow... it was AUHMAZING too! It was loaded with zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and caramelized onions. We added linguiça sausage, which took it over the top. Every bite was delicious.
