I got the vegan harvest bowl and it was delicious! I also got a bagel with tofu veggie cream cheese and it was very good

We went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Portland has a surprising lack of breakfast places in downtown and Old Port. Food was good. I expected beans and/or rice in my breakfast burrito but got sweet potatoes instead (not on the menu and not a standard burrito ingredient) which was really surprising. Lots of people waiting around for orders. Apparently the food was ready but just sat there. Took 20 minutes to get our food. They need better systems so 20 people aren't standing around waiting for food right up next to people who are seated and eating. Put in a separate take out window for mobile orders.

I don’t know if I got unlucky or this place is a mess. 10-15 people came in after us and got their food first, we didn’t order anything complicated. 2 of the 4 orders were made wrong, my son’s mac and cheese was cold and it was the smallest sandwich I’ve ever gotten. Food was good, terrible experience.

I hate writing this bc I have loved this place, but today I found a glove burried in my 8oz tub of cream cheese that I bought a few days earlier from doordash. I've tried calling several times with no answer. It's disgusting finding something like that in something you're eating 😒

I ordered a BLT sandwich and it had undercooked bacon and more mayo than fixings. It was completely inedible.

Seeds on sesame bagels can break teeth. Plan on waiting 20 minutes for your order to be bagged. Approximately 15 people waiting for their orders to be bagged

Great tuna melt and pickle. I always love the works. Nice staff and good seating selection. Cold draft by door.

I’m here 5 days a week. I cannot say enough good things about the crew, the food and the atmosphere. This crew really cares about the customer.

Great food and tasty coffee. I has a quinoa bowl and a latte and would definitely order each of them again. It’s somewhat removed from the wharf so I didn’t see many tourists in the morning. It’s a great local spot.

Lots of yummy bagel flavors and spreads to choose from. Wanted a little more from our bagel maker, there were some details missed in our small order that took much longer than expected. Decent option in a spot where breakfast places can be limited early in the morning.
