I absolutely love this vegan only cafe and it is must stop for me and my sister anytime we are in Portland and let me tell you why IT IS SOOOOO GOOD!! I don't know what they put in their pastries, breakfast sandwiches, cream cheeses or matcha lattes but I crave it all the time and stuff my face to the max every single time. They are a small bakery/cafe with a straight forward menu, they don't overdo it. The use very clean ingredients and make everything fresh but that will be obvious from the taste of all the food. Staff is very friendly, helpful and provided excellent service. The cafe is very clean and cute. Here is what I have ordered from here so far and literally everything was a 5/5 and had no complaints at all! Not common but very much true and deserved for this cafe. Almond Croissant - 5/5 soft and full of flavor Breakfast sandwich - 5/5 tofu scramble is the best I ever had. I'm usually not a fan of tofu unless fried because of the texture but this is totally different and is done so well and full of flavors. The tempeh also adds that nice smoky flavor. If you are not a fan of tofu please do me a favor and give this a try, I am almost sure you will change your mind. Bagel with bacon chive cream cheese (forgot to take pic) was 5/5. It was warm and the house-made cream cheese was very very good! Goes well with the tofu scramble if sharing a plate or on its own too. Matcha Latte with oatmilk 5/5 - very simple but like I said before they use high quality ingredients with local Matcha and very obvious from the first sip. I have only ever had 1 other matcha that was just as good and that was in Houston, TX. Overall, this is a must visit for vegans or non vegans. You cannot tell the difference, I promise you!!
I ordered my fiancés birthday cheesecake here. This cheesecake was INCREDIBLE. He is not vegan and he couldn't even tell that the cheesecake was vegan. The berries taste so fresh and the cheesecake is creamy and smooth. The whip cream on the edges is light and fluffy. It's hard to only eat one piece we could eat the whole thing in one sitting it is so tasty. The danishes were also delicious as well as the chocolate peanut butter bar. The staff made ordering a cake incredibly easy and had it ready in w yuck turn around time. The basketry itself is a small and very homey feeling bakery. When we went I instantly felt at home and very comfortable. Any vegan or non vegan who loves pastries and cheesecake should definitely stop by
Would kill to have one of these in Arizona. The location, seating, staff, and most importantly, food and coffee were all awesome. I had a really good Reuben with what tasted like Seitan and a side of pasta salad. It was very tasty and the perfect amount of food. Grabbed a vegetable cream cheese filled croissant to go and it made for a great breakfast the next day.
Nice casual cafe for a quick breakfast or pastries to go. I arrived during the week upon opening and got their tofu scramble ($12), which comes with crumbled soft tofu seasoned to perfection with small amounts of spinach and red pepper, and accompanied by several pieces of tempeh bacon (basically tempeh with tons of liquid smoke). Quite tasty, though I would have preferred more spinach and red pepper in the scramble. It doesn't come with potatoes, but you can add that if you want. Pretty solid spot. Doesn't wise to the top of PDX's copious high-quality vegan breakfast spots, but this was very satisfying. Recommended for a quicker option or to go option.
Sweetpea Baking Company is 100% vegan. They were Portland's first all-vegan bakery in 2005 and they've continued to be awesome at their SE Stark St location to this day. In addition to baked goods of all kinds (pastries, cakes, bagels, cookies), their storefront offers breakfast, soups, sandwiches, and more. Saturday is donut day and Monday is croughnut day. During COVID there wasn't/isn't much in the way of seating, so grab your items to-go. I believe it is street parking only. They also do a lot of wholesale, so you may see their logo on products in the grocery store or restaurant counter. I've primarily had their cupcakes and cookies secondhand in this way, though I've stopped by their store a few times for a specific order. It's always been a good option, in my opinion!
Breakfast sammie was very filling and the bread was soft. Good fuel for a hike. I would have gone back if they were open later in the day!
Very good vegan breakfast sandwich. fairly priced. This ciabatta bread is yum. tofu eggs seitan bacon and house make sauce. So good 10/10.
This is a cute little rustic bakery. The place is a little hard to find just because there really isn't any signage out front. We were greeted right away by the super friendly and helpful staff. My husband was goggle eyed at the giant cinnamon rolls and had to have one. I went for the breakfast sandwich. The cinnamon roll was gigantic, soft and sweet with a tender bread. The staff was nice enough to warm it for him and he tucked right in. My sandwich was piping hot and very flavorful. The tempeh bacon was wonderful! The sandwich filling was a little mushy for me but the flavor was so good it wasn't a big deal. We will definitely be back!
I only came in for a pastry. they didnt have the tea i ordered and received a Hibiscus tea instead. The pastries were to live for strongly recommend. Service was good. The inside feels like a library . Its nice and quiet.
I've tried their bagels, sandwiches, and pastries. The pastries are delicious and very fresh, sometimes I don't believe they're vegan because the texture is so perfect. Last time I tried the bagel it wasn't good and it was missing the vegan meat I ordered so I removed one star. I also wish they knew what flavors of croissants they had the next day because they never know when I call :) other than that it's a great place!
Quality Vegan Baked Goods! Yes sir, indeed! So glad we had to opportunity to stop by this beautiful joint! Super friendly customer service; loved the vibe & food/drink options! This was our first opportunity to try the Famous Marionberry! Not pancakes, but PIE it was! Delicious! We snagged: -two MB Pies -Brownie! Def recommend! COVID Notes -Indoor dining is available. -The order was effortless, quick, & accurate. -Excellent customer service -Masks were required. Staff wore masks. -No issues at all. Thank you, Sweetpea, for having delicious Vegan Options & being a spectacular community staple!
I absolutely love this place. I wish they would open more locations so badly!! (One in Southern California perhaps...). My parents and I came here for brunch and we shared the tofu scramble, breakfast sandwich, and bacon cheddar quiche. We all loved the breakfast sandwich most, followed by the tofu scramble. The quiche wasn't our favorite but everything else really made up for that! We also shared a raspberry cream cheese danish and an almond ring. The danish was to die for! We also picked up some more pastries to take home and their danishes really are mind blowing. The blueberry cream cheese was my favorite!

If I could somehow get the bacon scallion schmear delivered to San Diego, I would. Seriously the best dairy-free cream cheese I have ever had in my entire life. The bagel itself was okay, but the schmear was out of this world. I initially did not want a pasty, but after tasting a bite of my boyfriend's, I took half. The pasty and schmear were so good that we came back the next day to try one of the sandwiches. While they all sounded good, I decided to have the Sweatpea Club which came with house seitan, pastrami, and tempeh bacon. Even though the sandwich was enormous, I left feeling full but without the heavy-sitting feeling you get when you overeat at some restaurants. I think because of the high-quality food Sweetpea serves, you leave satisfied without feeling too full or tired. This place is awesome! read more
Sweetpea Baking Company is my favorite vegan bakery in Portland, Oregon! When I first became vegan years ago, it was actually one of the only vegan bakeries in Portland, Oregon. I always order my birthday cakes here and try as much as possible to get vegan pastries! The staff members are always so kind and friendly. I also love how there are different meals that you can buy and coffee with dairy alt. Milk. Great place to eat brunch and lunch with an area of open seating. I ordered the pain au chocolate and it was really delicious with the croissant, tasting very fluffy. Also the ube cookies are delicious! Highly recommend. read more

If you love this place and want to get them a gift, I recommend a label maker for their condiment section. I accidentally put nooch in my coffee, and it was not the most pleasant taste first thing in the morning. Gratefully, everyone who works here is super nice and patient and understanding. I've been here before when they had a breakfast buffet, and it was super yummy. I've always liked the pastries too. I don't know if today was just an off day, but I tried the slice of daily quiche (tempeh, mushroom, and onion) and the biscuit with gravy. The quiche was bland - I had to add salt and franks red hot from the condiment counter (that I was now becoming quite acquainted with after my coffee incident) just to be able to eat it. The biscuit was rosemary and bacon flavored, and I tasted the rosemary, but it was also sweet, like they had used vanilla soy milk in the recipe. I've had this problem before, so it must be a different style of biscuits and gravy than I like. I did just have the biscuits and gravy at cornbread cafe a couple of days ago, so maybe my expectations are just too high. Anyway, come here for the coffee and pastries. And bring your label maker. read more

Went to this establishment on my recent trip to Portland and was really impressed by their pastries! Honestly better than most non-vegan pastries I've had. I deducted a star because I got the bagel and cream cheese and honestly I did not like it... the cream cheese was oddly sweet? It's probably not their fault, but it just wasn't my fave! I remember thinking the bagel was a bit overpriced too... Overall, I would definitely recommend! I brought a cinnamon roll home for my boyfriend and he couldn't tell an difference... it was terrific! Also, I love the whole little strip mall that this is a little a part of! read more

Wasn't really feeling the sweetness of Sweetpea Baking Co when I came here last. Went to get a latte and try out one of their vegan pastries and get some work done. Overall it was not a great experience. Stood in line and waited patiently as each person had to order and pay and there was only one person doing most of the work. Finally got to the front of the line and I was a bit confused because there was an one pasty left in the case and the sign had two things listed, a walnut one and and almond one, both were $5. The lady who took my order was very unfriendly to the point of not even wanting to answer basic questions such as what it was that I saw in the glass case and what was in it. All I got was a curt answer that they ran out of the walnut ring and all they had left was the almond one. Do you recommend the almond one I asked? Her reply is everything is good. Ok then so went ahead and ordered it. Then tried to ask about the alternate milks they offer and I got a "every thing is vegan here" reply back. Didn't want to start losing it with this person who obviously was not enjoying her job and was obviously not going to be of much help so I just said give me an almond milk latte please. Paid and gave no tip, she quickly threw my almond ring on a plate and that was my order experience. Really hate to eat my pastry when I don't have my coffee drink in hand but 15 minutes went by and no sign of any drink. Really wanted to not wait and take a bite of the ring but held my restraint. In the meantime I did a little investigating what others ordered to see if anything looked good. One lady sitting next to me got the Tempeh Bacon Cheese Quiche. She had a funny look on her face so I asked her what she thought about it and her words were dry and mediocre. Meanwhile back at the headquarters Ms. unfriendly lady was taking orders and going back to make drinks at the same time and I'm not hearing any hints of my name being called out. Decided to head on up to the barista serving area and kind of look over the drinks and wishfully thinking my drink had to be coming up soon. I'm at this point wondering if she forgot my drink so politely asked if the drink for Ron is coming up? She said "not yet" then walked away and started to chat with one of the other employees. They were having a laugh about something. That was the only time she even cracked a smile so it must have been a good joke:( Finally I got a holler when my Latte was up. Got my drink and sat down to eat my pastry. First sip of the latte was not very exciting. Coffee was weak tasting, no latte art and the almond milk wan't very creamy at all. My almond ring looked really good visually but it didn't translate in the taste. I think it might have tasted better if it was warmed up because the pastry tasted really dry and super sweet. I guess with a name like sweatpea I should expect that but I guess if the pastry tasted kind of stale, super cold, and not flaky at all. The icing tasted like pure sugar and it definitely needed some coffee to help cut the sugary taste. Overall just wasn't feeling the love of this place. To end my mediocre experience I went to use the bathroom and I see these giant drums of canola oil sitting in the hallway next to the bathrooms. Not sure if that's what they use in all of their pastries but if so I would definitely not eat any of them again. Canola oil is almost all GMO and very unstable oil and not recommended to eat if you are health conscious and don't want to eat things that are inflammatory to your health. Not saying they do use it but If I come back I will make sure to ask. I feel kind of generous to give 3 stars but I give them some slack as one bad employee doesn't make a place and I only tried one item from the menu so maybe it was a bad day here. read more

I love this place! Been here MANY times before. The cinnamon rolls are insane and the croissants are the best! I've never been disappointed by anything I've gotten here. Everything is amazing! Staff was great as always. Very kind, upbeat and happy. Front doors propped open so customers don't have to touch a door. Clearly placed markers on the floor for social distancing. Staff wearing masks. Customer in front of me ordered coffee and employee used pastry paper to hand the lid to the customer. They clearly care about their employees and customers. read more

Okay so the thing about this place is that if you want something, you have to come early. We came within an hour of closing and they were sold out of a number of treats. We opted for the charlie brown (a MUST) and the chocolate chip cookie which was straightforward. Their coffee and teas looked so good but alas would come earlier for the caffeine fix. Worth a stop if delicious desserts are your thing! read more

Got a bunch of baked treats and honestly I loved every single one! Definitely will be going back to try more! Update.... went back for more just a couple days later, couldn't resist! Tried almost every vegan bakery in Portland I could find and this was hands down my favorite! Go go go! read more

Strapped for time and needing to eat before my tattoo next door at Scapegoat, I popped into Sweetpea for a quick bite and a much needed coffee to prep for my long sit. I've been to their former NoPo location a few times for a quick pastry but was excited to try their lunch offerings. Now, I'm no vegan, but holy lord their food is good. I ordered their vegan Pastrami Rueben, mac salad, and a dirty chai. The food came out in less than 5 minutes and was stunning. Perfect toast on the bread and their Pastrami alternative was savory and filling. While it certainly wasn't meat, the flavor was amazing and left nothing to be desired whatsoever. Mac salad is tasty with hard hints of pickle and creamy creamy creamy. I love the milk options at Sweetpea. Hemp is my go to but I've heard awesome things about their hazelnut milk as well. Staff was crazy welcoming and the shop was warm, clean, and had a nice vibe. Parking here is street based but PRO TIP: There's a side lot next to Scapegoat reserved for this plaza. Park there for sure as street parking is packed and limited to 1 hour. Overall, stoked on all the food I've ever had here and will definitely be back again. read more

Very nice staff and accommodated a late custom cake order for me. Cupcakes are good. Would be 5 stars if my cake didn't have a massive crack in the middle barely keeping the cake together read more
A fully vegan bakery? What did I do to deserve such a blessing. Came by for a breakfast sandwich that was so flipping good I forgot to capture it with my phone. Ordered a side of potato salad because why not! It was also incredible. I'm here on my second visit waiting to indulge in a salad and bagel sandwich. Will update on that when it arrives. Edit: Our create your own bagel sandwich was so good and the chikin caesar salad was probably the best I've ever had. read more

My child is severely allergic to dairy and eggs. Managing her allergies and keeping her safe are constants in our lives, and can be very stressful and draining. Like any parent, I want her to have the typical highs and lows of childhood. I nearly cried when I saw the beautiful job Sweetpea did on my daughter's birthday cake and cupcakes. This is the first year she has had birthday treats that were not homemade. It's been 6 months and she still talks about them. The cake and cupcakes were both beautiful and delicious. The staff was very kind and helpful during the ordering process. They also told me they can handle nut allergies and are happy to do so. Thank you Sweetpea! UPDATE: Another year another fabulous cake from Sweetpea! We got another birthday cake in August 2019 for a group of kids who are allergic to dairy, eggs, and tree nuts. My gratitude for safe food I don't have to make myself knows no bounds. Those who deal with serious food allergies know what I'm talking about. The cake was beautiful, delicious, and safe. Wonderful end to my child's birthday! read more
Very pleased with the sandwich I chose. I was trying to decide out of 2, and the cashier said the Untuna Melt was her favorite adding the cashew cheese. She prefaced that they do not add Nori or anything to give it a fish taste which I was perfectly fine with, and knowing what tuna tasted like, my first thought was, "there's no way that this will taste like REAL tuna.." But, to my surprise, it totally could pass as a real tuna melt. Giving up meat 8 months ago was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time, and I occasionally miss certain things, like a tuna melt. So thank you SweetPea for allowing me to indulge in something so delicious without harming anything in the process! I'd absolutely come here again and give it another try to see what other vegan goodies they offer! read more
My friend and I enjoyed our first meal here very much. This is a cute and casual dining spot with great food and pleasant employees. You order at the counter and pick up your food when its ready along with water and utensils. I really appreciate this current trend of self service because it means once you sit down you can relax and enjoy the conversation without someone interrupting you for your order or opinion on things. We had the turtle power sandwich and the club sandwich along with potato salad and soup. Everything tasted delicious. Their bakery case was beautiful and so tempting. Everything on their menu is vegan. Yay! Highly recommend Sweetpea baking company. read more
