Food Scene

Wonderful baked goods, as well as sandwiches, soup. Their seasonal specialties are delicious, and I love their cinnamon rolls, olive bread, basil egg salad sandwich, and bread pudding.

Paleo based burger place with vegetarian options. I love the salmon burgers, my kids love the hot dogs and burgers, and the fries are great, with a sweet potato option.

This is an amazing jewel, we are lucky to have this in Portland. A tour is highly recommended, as most of the magic is in interpreting the Garden. Even go on a rainy day, as special things happen there when it rains!

Essentials

Focused on natural foods, but most everything is available. There's a deli, salad bar, burrito bar, and prepared foods. The best part is the open rooftop bar, where you can bring the food you bought to eat, and enjoy with beer or wine served there, and enjoy the neighborhood view, and in the summer sometimes they have live music!
