Happy to have another spot in the neighborhood with some interesting veggie/vegan options. I had the roasted broccolini and my bf had the Italian. Both were yummy as was the side of cole slaw. Look forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

Better Half - Roasted Broccolini - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

What a great new addition to the neighborhood! We tried the chopped salad, tomato soup, roasted turkey sandwich and italian sandwich. We loved the salad and soup, but the star was the sandwiches. The bread was unbelievably soft and the toppings were the perfect balance. We are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Better Half - The Italian and turkey. Both were awesome! - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. read more

The sandwiches were great. We had the MOJO and turkey BLT. Unfortunately, the chips were stale and a 20-minute wait to get our order. Arrived at 11:45, only customers inside, but could tell there were many large pre-orders. read more

Literally the best vegan sandwich I have ever had! Perfectly balanced. The bread is seriously next level. Get the vegan Italian and you'll crave it constantly. Their team is also super kind and friendly. Forever getting my sandwich fix from Better Half! read more

I mean, wow! These sandos are the freaking best! The breakfast sandwich, add bacon *drool* In all realness, Better Half makes some really delicious sandwiches. They offer veggie/vegan alts for all of their meat options. The house-made chips, fries, hash-brown, cookies, and pickle spear are all great too! If you like a little spicy, add their chipotle mayo to your sandy. It is extremely difficult to stop myself from eating there every day. The owners/staff are so so sweet. They will make the appropriate accommodations to any dietary restriction you might have. They even run your order out to you when it's ready. 10/10 would recommend! read more

A wonderful little gem of a sandwich shop. I've tried both the roasted turkey and the spicy sriracha pork. Each sandwich has a vegan counterpart. Fresh ingredients and nice selection of sides (homemade chips are tasty) and beverages. Right now they are takeout only, but there is a nice shady courtyard for outdoor dining. So glad to have this lovely sandwich option in my neighborhood! read more

I wanted to like this place, but was sorely disappointed in the sandwich I got. I ordered a blackened chicken salad sandwich. There was so much lettuce on the sandwich and barely any chicken. Among the few pieces of chicken I received there were 4 or 5 pieces that were grizzle and fat and impossible to chew or eat. I wish I could say that I was able to taste the chicken salad, but that would be a lie. There was so much of everything else except the protein. Thankfully there are so many other quality sandwich shops in Portland where I will be spending my money, i.e. Taste Tickler. Certainly this was a one and done, never to repeat this experience. YMMV, but I was not at all impressed. Next. read more

I was so excited to see another vegan/gf friendly option opening up in our neighborhood. We ordered the vegan chicken salad sandwich and the spicy lemongrass tofu sandwich to go and both were delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more

Very flavorful, best sandwich I've had in years! love all the broccoli on the menu! The chips for me are meh but the pickle is tops!

I came in right before they closed and I still received great service! Tried the breakfast sandwich with a hashbrown INSIDE. It was a absolutely delicious. I'm not kidding. Like top 3 in Portland for me so far. I can't wait to continue coming back here. Outdoor dining was clean and convenient. Great food, service, and VEGAN OPTIONS. Might I add they have a vegan option for almost every meat item, AND they aren't more expensive just because they're vegan...what a concept! I DEEPLY respect this concept. Never change. Please. read more

Excellent sandwiches! I've had the Reuben, BLT, and Blackened Chicken Salad, and recommend them all. I'm eager to have them all again and try others, including breakfast. Also wonderful is that they have a full vegan menu I've be been told is delicious as well. read more

Great sandwiches! Man it's a nice layout and very warm and inviting. Either on a rainy day with a nice bowl of tomato soup and grilled cheese or on a sunny day, this place is good. read more

Maybe my fave sandwich place. Ok ambiance. Food is great why it's this app making me type more just to post this?

Have had half the sandwiches, repeatedly, and they have always been great. The chips are delicious, and that every sandwich comes with the pickle and chips makes it a pretty fantastic deal within the Portland sandwich scene. The vegan/vegetarian options are delicious, even for omnivores. read more

Sooo good. The spicy lemongrass tofu sandwich is the best combo of spicy, savory, and slight sweet from the pickled veggies. Also- their GF bread is fabulous! read more

Fantastic sandwiches, and huge! In retrospect "better half" obviously means a half sandwich would be plenty. Still, I had a whole sandwich and I regret nothing! read more

This place makes THE BEST sandwiches. The bread, sauces, and other ingredients are top notch. Every item on the menu is a banger. Plus the homemade chips are a nice touch. read more

Thoroughly surprised! I was a little hesitant to try the veggie Italian...haven't had good vegan deli options in the past, but this sandwich was so good!! Would definitely recommend read more

Excellent sandwiches! We especially love the sriracha pork sandwich - tasty! We always eat here if we're in town! Also - fries & dipping sauce are scrummy! If you're nearby, give it a shot! read more

I happened upon this place when I was wandering N Williams killing time before an appointment and I'm so glad I did. I got a delicious gluten free breakfast sandwich that was on an unbelievable roll. I checked that it said gf on the package multiple times haha. Always happy to see a new place where I can bring my vegan friends and eat veg or not and gluten free. read more

Ordered the tofu banh mi, vegan chickn salad sandwich, and vegan kale Caesar salad today. All were 10/10 and portions were generous. So yummm I recommend read more

I've never had a better sandwich in my life. I love that they offer gluten free bread and vegan options! The staff are always friendly and the food arrives hot. Check out the lemongrass tofu sando, you won't be disappointed! read more

We stopped to pick up a couple breakfast sandwiches and are so glad we did. Got the egg and cheese with chipotle and the broccoli cheddar egg and they were both delicious! The sourdough rolls are just so perfect and the ingredients and proportions are exactly right. Yum! read more

Absolutely delicious! Got the vegan breakfast sandwich (best vegan breakfast sandwich I have ever had) and my boyfriend got a non-vegan lunch sandwich (he loved it!). Super quick and easy ordering process. Highly recommend! read more

I've been on a wild sandwich hunt, ordering takeout from a range of sandwich joints during these COVID times. Sadly I've been pretty disappointed (I'll keep the names to myself since they're local sandwich spots that seem to have quite the fanbase despite my unimportant opinion) ... up until now. Thank you Better Half, for getting creative with your sandwiches and still bringing a full dose of the savory goodness I was craving. Although not vegetarian, I ordered the tempe/broccoli sandwich made me feel healthy while not feeling healthy? Does that make sense? I did swap out the vegan cheese for regular cheese, so maybe that's why. Mmmm, just what I wanted. I also ordered the tomato soup to dip it in for ultra luxury. Will come again and maybe try the italian... or the banh mi... read more

Best sandwich shop in Portland!! LOVE that they don't upcharge for gluten free bread. Their ingredients are always super fresh, sandwiches are thoughtfully made and their covid safety practices are on point! I go out of my way to pick up their turkey sandwich like weekly I'm fully *addicted* to it. read more

I was looking for two things in a sandwich shop: an opening time earlier than 11am (so that I could grab sandwiches on the way to the river on those glorious summer adventure days without having to delay my start), and great vegan sandwiches. This place not only checked both boxes, but also had two great bonuses: outstanding breakfast sandwiches and nitro cold brew coffee from Coava. The vegan meats and cheeses are homemade, the bread is fresh, the sauces are tasty, and the prices are fair. To top it all off, the service is friendly and efficient, and the interior is clean and inviting. I am so happy I found this place, and I highly recommend checking them out for your breakfast and lunch sandwich needs! read more

The sauce on the turkey sandwich was sooooo good. High quality ingredients! Will definitely be going back.

I first went to BH a week after they opened, and knew they were going to be one of the city favorites in no time. Best breakfast sandwich (and best breakfast sausage) in PDX. Regular sandwiches are equally amazing. read more

This place is seriously so delicious!!!!!! And customer service was phenomenal. I would definitely come back here in the future. Everything seems to be really fresh and house made. read more

I've had the sandwiches before but I went inside to pick up an order for the first time and it's very clean and nice inside. Customer service was wonderful and the food was as great as last time. I really like how the menu is laid out and I'm excited to try this beautiful cookie later. read more

This is honestly the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. I had to get mine on gluten free bread, which was soft (usually gluten free bread is hard). The perfect amount of ingredients was used in the sandwich. Nothing fell out of it as I ate. Each ingredient tasted fresh and complimented each other. I forgot everything else and had a moment of peace enjoying this sandwich. The chips are house made, and have the right amount of crunch to them. The pickle was crunchy, the right amount of sweet and sour, too. I also indulged in a gluten free cookie, which was chewy and delightful. I would definitely go back here in a heartbeat. read more

Yoooo I never do this but this place just opened and I saw they only had 2 reviews so I thought I would leave mine. These sandwiches are the TRUTH ... I've ordered twice for pickup this week and both times was very satisfied. The Italian was a great classic hoagie with just about every Olympia Provisions meat product you could ask for. Today I had the breakfast sandwich with sausage and herb aioli and almost went back to order a second one it was so good. I haven't eaten at the restaurant yet but the place looks really nice and they have a great little patio area in the courtyard of the building. Next time I'll be trying the roasted broccolini sandwich (vegan) because it sounds like fire. The vegan chocolate chip + sea salt cookie was also really good. This is for sure my new lunch spot. read more

Rude staff and trash food. Employees refuse to take orders and require you to order on a dirty kiosk. Employees wont answer questions about the menu as well. Overpriced. read more

Pretty much the best sandwich I've had in a long time. Quality ingredients and the tastiest salted chocolate chip cookie in town. Love this place! read more

I got the breakfast BLT and my friend got the breakfast sandwich with a veggie sausage. It was so delicious, the spreads on the sandwiches added so much flavor!! It was a pretty good price too. I will definitely be back read more

Sooooo delicious! The BLT breakfast sandwich is absolutely the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! Highly recommend, sadly didn't take a photo before my whole group ate their sandwiches! For sure will be back! Thank you! read more

Came back to those restaurant after our first incredible experience. This one was only made better by Jada! Truly passionate customer service. She allowed us to customize our order to meet our gluten-free needs. There is usually an up charge for gluten-free but there is not at this establishment. The place was clean and tidy. Food was amazing as usual but it really was our experience with Jada that put it over the top!!!!! You have restored my faith in humanity! read more
