Panda’s Portland Oregon Vegan Recommendations

Veganstock comes to Portland Oregon, this September! I have assembled a list of Panda’s Picks for all comers. These are some of my preferred places to get a vegan meal in the Portland Oregon area.

First up! Dovi Vivi pizzeria. I love the corn cashew pizza with cornmeal crust. So good. They use a homemade cashew cheese which is preferable to many of the local places that use Daiya.

Departure is the place to go for a ‘fancy’ meal. The prices are still reasonable and I’ve yet to have a bad menu item here. Asian-Fusion-y served as small plates. Excellent when you have a group so everything can get shared around. Chili lime Brussells, spicy carrot avocado salad, salt and pepper tempeh, oh yes.

Sweetpea Baking Company, for the sweets and sandwiches. They have a line of breakfast pastries that include croissants, almond rings and danish. The lunch sandwiches are also worth checking out with a mix of housemade seitan and tempeh meats.

Falafel House at Slabtown has the best vegan falafel in town. The whole menu is vegan and includes seitan gyros and tater tots.

AND Cafe is my favorite breakfast spot. Good waffles, good housemade sausage,  good sandwiches, love their meatloaf. I love the biscuits and gravy Soul Bowl.

DC Vegetarian is a food cart downtown that has a good selection of sandwiches. I prefer the burger but a lot of people like their cheesesteak.

Flavour Spot for their maple pecan waffle taco. Yes.

Cellar Door Coffee Roasters have bagels with Tofutti and good coffee and teas.

Palio also offers coffee and tea with vegan dessert options, including fabulous Irish oat cake.

This is obviously not a comprehensive list of vegan food in the Portland Oregon area. It’s a list of places that I frequent and would recommend to others. The real estate market here has costs going way up, so lots of places are closing and opening with short notice. Check all hours and websites before you go.
