Better Half - Portland

With food allergies and sensitivities, I'm always impressed by the Better Half team! They go above and beyond to ensure I can eat there safely even analyzing the ingredients in the condiments. The flavors are excellent and creative combinations! They have some of the best gluten free sandwiches in Portland!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread from New Cascadia, vegan cheese and meat options, dairy free alternatives.

Now this place is what I think of when I'm craving a GOOD sandwich! The Italian is layered perfectly with fresh ingredients a nearly perfect combination of flavors that compliment each other so well. I'll give it a 9.6/10, only because it's missing a sauce with a kick or maybe next time I'll add avocado to make it a 10 for me. If you get it to-go be sure to eat it soon because it does get soggy. The grilled cheese is okay 5/10, kinda greasy on its own for my taste buds but if you dip it in the tomato soup then it's enjoyable. The tomato soup on its own is a 6/10, I really like the creaminess hint of lemongrass lime leaf but I couldn't help but feel like it was missing a spice.The breakfast also ranks high in my opinion.The sausage, egg, cheese is simple done really well 9/10! The bacon, egg, cheese is good but not as satisfying as the sausage, also not enough bacon 8.5/10. The breakfast BLT had a lot going on just too messy for my liking but nonetheless it was good 8/10. Hash browns fries are really crispy, get the fry sauce 8.8/10! I've ordered online multiple times and once in person, service has always been good. I highly recommend ordering online because it takes time to craft these beautiful sandwiches waiting in the restaurant can be overstimulating.

Great service and super clean area, the sandwiches are to die for , their Jacfruit Mojo is so delicious.

We had the roasted broccolini which was a little heavy on the broccolini, but still tasty! The fries were a yummy addition. Good portion sizes and clean café.

Holy moly. I haven’t been this satisfied with a sandwich since becoming a vegetarian 6 years ago. The Chick’n Salad sandwich flavors are top notch. Well done.Vegetarian options: Just as many veg options as non-veg!
