Lovely branch! Nice and open with lots of seatings both indoors and outdoors. They seem to also have a lot more varieties of items than other branches I've been. Wine prices are great and you can open them without corkage fee. read more

Elephants on Cedar Hills - Delis Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

My partner discovered Elephants Delicatessen on NW 22nd, which led us to finding the Elephants on Cedar Hills a few weeks ago, a location closer to our house. Elephants is a bright, airy, and inviting space with yummy treats, meals, and fun gifts. As we're new to the area, we weren't sure where to find high-quality Italian deli meats. I love their focaccia, and we were delighted to find a small but mighty selection of imported Italian deli meats. Our favorites are the mortadella and hot coppa. On Sunday, my partner chose the staff pick of the day: Levoni salami- a must try! The deli folks are artisans! They slice and package the meats to perfection. It's like opening a gift when we get home to assemble our sandwiches. All of the peeps working at Elephants are friendly and knowledgeable. I got some pro tips on pairings when they cut the focaccia for me! We also picked up some macarons- chocolate, Earl Grey, and animal cracker flavors. I was silly-happy when they had Earl Grey macarons this time! Look forward to going there in the morning, trying a coffee drink and pastry, and enjoying the adorable patio. I had gelato at NW 22nd, so I know that pistachio flavor is molto bene. I look forward to enjoying some gelato at this location, too. read more

The grilled cheese sandwich was so bad sadly and was dry, cold, and not exciting. However, I really do enjoy their tomato orange soup. I would love if they could do a tomato basil instead. Just stopped in quickly to shop through their food and gift section. This is a great place to put together a gift basket or to grab items for yourself, and they have bags to put it in. Great local business and brands too! Seating indoors and outdoors. May not be suitable for larger groups. read more

I've been to many Elephants around the PDX area, and while all have good quality food, this location is especially nice! Beautiful layout and lighting, a covered patio with heating, and a great flow for all the goodies they have. Clean restrooms too. Everyone that served us was friendly, and allowed my family and me as many samples as we needed to make our decision. I ended up getting the chicken pot pie over a homemade biscuit. So warm and yummy. It felt like Christmas in a bowl! read more

5 stars for the design and selection of gifts. At the same time, it was so confusing where to order and where to pay. Then we had to double-back to find the drinks that were clear across the space and leave our food on a plate, on the counter by other customers waiting. Completely weird set up. We ordered from the glass case and the area where they prepared the food. The chicken enchilada, from the glass case, was lukewarm. It would have been good had it been served hot. The food prepared for us was really good and looked great. read more

Elephants is like stopping by at that loved one who's always experimenting in the kitchen and has a cozy place. :) There is a rotating array of items - both cold and warm - from sandwiches, salads, soups and meats like salmon. Unexpectedly, this is a great place to pick up a memento or small gift - e.g. cute chocolates from across the Atlantic! Granted, just as some experiments are learning opportunities, there is room for growth here. For starters, I'd really, *really* appreciate a larger offering of gluten or vegan friendly options. Yes, there are limited options with both in isolation, but how about in combo, please? I was dismayed that the only salad option in late August (pre-packaged, so great for grab n' go) was a medley of baby spring mix, pepitas and fennel, flavored with some dried cranberries, along with a vegan dressing. At the price point, how about a meatless alternative thrown on top? The salad was fresh, for sure, but so much potential was left behind in the kitchen. Ditto to the chickpeas salad offering: The mango chutney sounds like a great addition, but it's made with corn syrup???? This discovery was a little let down because my hope was that quality of ingredients over quantity. Like, there is a gluten free bun/vegan black bean burger option (yay!), but sourcing some local gluten free bread to pair with sandwiches would be lovely. I hope the Elephants team takes this feedback with open ears, because I truly, truly, appreciated the friendliness of the team working here. Everyone was so friendly and willing to accommodate dietary needs and made us feel welcome. Such kind people, willing to go above and beyond. (Thank you for tossing my salad for me, even though it was in a plastic container!) Finally, while the inside seating area is a little cramped, I honestly prefer the ample outdoor seating area: Covered (and non covered options), heating lamps for cooler weather, and a water station conveniently outside. This is a wonderful place to catch up. The ambiance and friendliness is exceptional; the food, a work in progress. I'll definitely be back, and I hope there's more inclusivity so everyone feels like they can have a wonderful meal! read more

I came in looking for a bit of a comfort meal, as a result I ended up with a classic combo of tomato soup and a grilled cheese. The soup was so good, it was nice and bright and good flavor. The grilled cheese was nothing special as I find most grilled cheeses are pretty standard. Together they were lovely for the cold and quite filling. I will say if you are a person that needs more to feel full, maybe consider getting a bit larger size as I hot a half pint. I did also take my order to go so the grilled cheese might have been better in restaurant. The servers were friendly and quick. It is also a deli style restaurant so theres quite a few options. read more

Nonsense to use their birthday coupon. This place, nice location in my hood, will never get to fool me again. Emails from them will be marked as spam. Italian sandwich, quite small portion, has so thin lunch meat like 2 skinny ones didn't come with chips or pickles. Chicken soup in a cute paper cup has no souls of chicken just broth and few veg. A small woman will still be hungry after. For those two rang about 25 then the magic screen of pressured tipping which ironically same amount of $5 birthday coupon they spammed me to go serve myself and buzz the table on my birthday. How special is that. Not again. read more

Looking for hostess gift and found a small variety of items that I could pull together around the "theme" of lemons. (Selection seemed a bit small but I was comparing it in my mind to the Portland location.) One of our party purchased hot lentil soup to take home for her lunch and enjoyed it. The helpful server showed me the "Cure" soup to answer my questions and I'd like to return for that. read more

I came here with a group of four at 12:30 PM on a Thursday afternoon. The indoors seating area was already fully packed but there were some tables outside that were still available. You order at any of the register and they can bring it to your table. Everyone at the counter and register was friendly, they also allow you to try samples of any of the soups. I ordered the ELEPHANT CURE soup which was very tasty and really warmed the body. Additionally, I had the FISH TACO. The fish was not fried unfortunately and was a little bit dry but the combination of the veggies and salsa was nice and refreshing. All in all, a nice lunch spot if you're ever in the area. read more

Stopped by for lunch, browsed the cooler, for grab and go (Lots of great options, salads, sandwiches, desserts) but decided to stay and eat inside. There are a few tables inside, more seating outside under a covered area. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Overall the food was good. The sandwiches had soft, crisp bread which was yummy. We had the Italian and roasted vegetable sandwiches. Both were tasty , however, it felt like they were rationing on the filling. For the price, I would have expected a little more filling in my veggie sandwich, one thin layer of roasted veggies wasn't enough. Had the Elephant Cure Soup and the Mama Leone's soup. That's where they shine. Both soups were delicious with great flavor. The cure soup had nice subtle hints of warmth of lemon grass and spices, very tasty. Mama Leone's was favorite of all the dishes we had. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch. Great lunch option to try. read more

I gave it average because I didn't eat the food (so I can't say). The decorations were nice and festive. Lots of local products, foods, gifts, etc for Christmas presents. However for me personally, as I walked around the different areas, nothing really caught my attention. The desserts looked okay, was hoping for some mint or peppermint sweets but didn't see any. The other foods looked pretty pricey. I don't know if this is a fancier place since this was my first time visiting. But I noticed they had unique foods but the 'deli' area looked a bit too much for me. However, it was a great place to walk around and maybe on a special occasion, I'll treat myself to something here! read more

We have been waiting for a long time for this Elephants to open up in Beaverton. We were sad to see Bargarten go, though. So on a weekend morning I dragged Minion in here for breakfast. I gave him a week's warning so he could prepare to be frustrated because we know how this goes. First, to address access for people with disabilities. Since I had cancer, I deal with pretty debilitating neuropathy and I have a hangtag for my car but the handicapped spots are west of the building not very close to the doors. The front south facing door has a lot of steps and two sets of doors to go through. The west door says "Handicap access only" with no button to open it and it is heavy. Inside that entrance there is a pretty narrow space with people and barstools in the way. I think wheelchairs would have a tough time. Once inside the service process is effing screwy. There are no posted instructions. You cannot order hot frittata from the employee and have them hand you your plate even though she is right there and the food is in front of you in a hot plate thingy. No, you have to go stand in another line and pay and then she gets sent the order and she calls your name.She is literally two feet from the register. If you want a pastry you serve yourself and carry it to the register. I don't know if you are supposed to pay for it first. The plate was too small for the pastry. You order coffee from the discombobulated cashier who gets things wrong and seems lost. A lot of employees are looking lost, and all the customers are lost. There is a sign on a stand that says welcome to Elephants that COULD explain things but it doesn't. Outside seating didn't have a bus tub the first hour so people were coming inside to bus their tables. Inside seating could not see the hidden inside bus tub so after one was taken outside to the patio they carried their dishes out through doors precariously balanced while hordes of customers came through the doors. And lines of people wound around a pretty big space trying to get their orders in with a cashier. Honestly, it was a clusteryouknow what. It made my head hurt and Minion the engineer lost his mind. The food was delicious. It always is. My coffee and fritatta and shared pastry were great. But the paper straws suck. Pun intended. I have been to a lot of delis and self serve places. This structure isn't working. Fix it. At least give people some posted clear instructions. OMG. The reason they stay afloat is the food is good. Get it delivered, catered, send someone with good distress tolerance skills, but I warn you, take a Xanax or have a drink if you are going to go in. read more

We stopped here for lunch yesterday and I see why it was highly recommended! There's not a huge amount of seating but do have an outdoor area that you can bring your dog with you and some indoor seating as well. Has a happy atmosphere and large variety of foods to choose from: you walk around and place your order and they call you when it's ready. They use a lot of local Oregon products so love to see that. They have 3 separate individual bathrooms which is nice. The food was very good: we got sandwiches, breakfast burritos, fries, garlic fries and desserts: pumpkin caramel cupcake, ding dong cake and salted caramel cheesecake. Everyone enjoyed their food. I would definitely drive across town to get that ding dong cake again it was that good!!!! read more

The newest Elephants opened up in Beaverton in the perfect location! Came around 1pm on a Saturday and it was packed! Only waited about 15 minutes for my hot foods so that's pretty good in my opinion considering how busy it was. It has the same Elephants' charm that the other locations have, with cute candies packaged near the check out and lots of friendly staff. There is kind of limited seating but majority of customers take the food to go. Overall, this place is a true Portland classic and I'm so glad they're branching out into other local spots! read more

Elephants is such a cute local deli, glad they brought one of their shops over here on the west side. I love the layout of this place, especially the French inspired outdoor patio. Although this is a deli, it doubles as a gift shop, since there's some local food and gifts you can get. The food choices were overwhelming but I settled on the Tuna Melt with a cup of Mama Leone's Chicken Soup. I was eager to eat and both the sandwich and soup were so yummy that I forgot to take a picture of my food before I started digging in. That's definitely a sign that I'll come back for more. read more

We are so lucky to have the most beautiful of all Elephant's grace us with their presence in Beaverton. It is hard to believe this used to be a German Beerhaus. They did such a nice job, keeping with their brand, but adding a little uniqueness to this location. It is large and open with a wine bar, gelato and coffee in the middle. There is limited seating inside, but they kept the large patio from the previous restaurant. which more than doubles the seating capacity.  If you are ever in need of a last minute gift, I would highly recommend stopping here, they have everything from gourmet prepared foods, wine, cheese, and gift items, such as soaps.  Today, we stopped in for breakfast, you never know how pre-made food will turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised with everything, especially the veggie frittata. I don't eat a lot of frittatas, but I will say it is the best I have ever had. It was so moist and light. read more

I was excited to try this place for the first time and after my experience, I thought it was decent. It wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday morning around 9am. Their outdoor seating is well decorated and cute. Aside from food and beverages, they also have other household items for sale that are made locally. The food items were mediocre, nothing special. I thought it was pretty expensive for food that is just heated up and not made fresh. They had a basket of pastries by the counter that are marked half off, which is a good option. I was disappointed that the chocolate croissant was very plan with little chocolate inside. The salted caramel latte was delicious though! read more

Nice deli style restaurant. Really good salmon, variety of salads. Clean and has fast staff to help you get the food.

I've heard people talking about Elephant's before, so I was excited to try it! Unfortunately, I was recovering from an awful migraine, and it was my first time eating in almost two days. I could only order chicken soup and cheese twists. But they were both excellent! The broth was just what I needed to get some strength back, and it was tasty too. The side was just the right size. The cheese twist wasn't too cheesy or greasy, so that was nice. My husband ordered the steak sandwich and pot pie thing. He really enjoyed both. I hope to visit again soon now that I can eat more than soup and bread read more

So much good stuff here! Hot food by the slice, soup, sandwiches, pasta and orzo salads by the pound.. coffee bar including yummy chai.... deli case with prepared bites.. A great place to grab a quick lunch and spend hours catching up with your best good friends. Seating inside and out (covered) and even more outside (exposed, small tables). Plenty of parking since it's the Winco parking lot, but note that right in front it's tricky bc there are some one-ways. read more

I've been going to Elephants for 20+ years. All of the Elephants have been in decline for several years. Quality has nose dived and prices shot up. But I've avoided writing a negative review because I so wanted them to improve. But my lunch today was just too bad. First, they now have a system where you stand in line to order; then you stand in line to pay; and rather than deliver food to your table (as in the past) they yell out names--which you can't hear outside. And then bus your own table. For that they suggest a 20% minimum tip? For what? There was no service. I ordered chicken strips--something I've ordered in the past. What I got were two greasy, over fried chicken cutlets on top of fries. How was I supposed to eat it? Oh Elephants I miss you. Perhaps better to fold up shop than to slide lower. read more

I'm a big fan of Elephants Deli so was surprised and happy to see them in Cedar Hills in the previous Bargarten's location. This is bigger than their other out post locations like on S. moody down on the waterfront, the downtown SW Salmon location by the Workd Trade Centwr or the one by Nordstroms. This location has all the favorites - hot dinner entrees, variety of cheese, cured meats and prepared foods in the deli counter, fresh soups, sandwiches, hot meals (mac&cheese and chicken enchiladas are fab), prepared sandwiches and salads to go, and of course lots and lots of treats. Fresh baked cookies, bars, brownies, a variety of mini cakes - the ding ding cake is absolutely delicious, just wish they hadn't raised the price to $8. The counters all have packaged licorice, chocolates, gummy's. They certainly know how to decorate with food items to encourage those spontaneous purchases. They do the same with the kitchen and bath items, books and toys for kids, greeting cards, seasonal decor and gift items. They have a decent wine selection if you need to pick up a bottle to go with dinner or as a gift. I've had Elephants Deli cater many events for my team at work, have picked up trays of appetizers for parties and even trays of chicken enchiladas or lasagna when I don't feel like cooking for a dinner party. Everything has always been delicious. Prices are high, but quality does match. Since I live downtown, I have several options but I'm out in Beaverton frequently and this is a great spot to meet a friend for lunch or pick up dinner and treats after running errands. read more

First time at this Elephants deli, but I love the one in downtown Portland & have been going there for more than 25 years. This one is mapped out well with very nice ambiance, plenty of seating, friendly staff (although they forgot about my order), etc. I ordered the chicken enchilada pie which has been one of my fav's forever, but unfortunately it was very dry and not as flavorful. But it's come back and give them another try . read more

I am always grateful when a friend meets up with me at a spot I am unfamilar with since it gives me something to focus on beyond my limitations. I am ADA and I get used to being challenged or just not being able to get into even new spaces since most spaces (even new ones) have next to no accommodations. I usually have avoided most of the businesses in here since the parking lot was inadequate for the amount of people when there were half the amount of businesses in the strip here that people went to. So, attended during lunch or dinner time will be a disaster and there are no real ADA spots near the entrance. I've heard there is another entrance with an access ramp but I genuinely did not see it so I hoofed it up the stairs as that caused less strain/pain then circumnavigating the building trying to find out how to get in, especially since my friend wanted to meet up when it was proper busy. A gent was kind enough to open the door but since the doors are not ADA someone standing and holding the door is genuinely having to stand in front of me so I then get to try to pole vault over them. Sooo, just a heads up for challenging mobility folks - plan your visit at an off time so that you can proper hunt the ADA access or have a friend pregame for you. I have been excited for the opening since I found out that this spot was joining us in Beaverton. A friend asked to meet up for an episode of ladies who lunch and it was perfect though it is indeed popular. A huge shout out to that amazing crew of wonderful people working hard not only to get it opened but seriously deliver on friendliness and being so helpful. I have some movement challenges and I just try to be mindful but seriously when I needed anything they just helped out with a sincere smile. My friend arrived first, snagging a perfect table waiving me to wander and order first. I was overwhelmed by all of the delicious looking things! I saw their focaccia and had to have anything on that but decided to give the Caprese sandwich and some garlic fries a go with a Coke. AMAZING... We leisurely ate and the crowd was much smaller towards the 3-4pm side so we could take a stroll to grab baskets of goodies. They have a ton of day old things 50% off and quite a collection of neat gift shop things, specialty sauces, jams, teas... frozen entrées, baked goods, Gelato and a whole array of delicious desserts and delicious things. I escaped with (for under $20!): a chunk of cooked dill salmon, a butter croissant, a chocolate buttercream cupcake, a passion fruit mousse and a container of hummus! They have a few vegan options as well which is great to know - I have quite a few vegan friends and am glad when places I go have an inclusive menu. read more

Lovely new spot in Cedar Hills to grab a quick bite or take something to go. Huge variety of grab and go items as well as different hot menu items. The store has a ton of different drinks and great dessert case. The Affogato was delicious as well as the breakfast burrito. I had the chili con queso breakfast burrito. My son had the Vegetarian Frittata and hubby had the sausage breakfast burrito. All were good and filling. I grabbed some macarons to go for a treat later that day. They have a lovely outdoor enclosed patio that has plenty of seating. There are a few tables inside as well. Look forward to enjoying another great meal here. read more

We finally decided to visit Elephants' newest location at Cedar Hills. It's probably been a few years since our last time in one of elephants' establishment and we can't quite remember why. As many reviews had mentioned, it isn't very clear with the flow in the store, and that was certainly the case. I lined up at the hot food section for a couple of minutes, only to hear someone from the center (coffee) station saying hot food can be ordered there. One of my kids wanted pasta, but after grabbing a lasagna from the fridge section at the back, we were informed it had to be the aluminum pan for them to heat up in store. Overall the food were all tasty, for the various items we had from sandwich to soup to fries. Instructions isn't clear but nothing too complicated after the initial visit. We did figure out that price might have been the factor that we just haven't had the motivation to visit in the recent years. Quality food, nice and clean decor and interior, friendly people, casual vibe, but expect to pay for sit down service level price. We'll probably come again given the close proximity to our home ans the quality of the food. read more
