Listen to the reviews. This place is amazing. I'm absolutely addicted. The sandwiches are nice and thick and they have Dutch crunch rolls. I would eat here everyday if my wallet allowed. I love that there are two lines for the window. On the right is the normal line where you place in person orders. Left side is where you can go if you're picking up an online order. read more

This is a solid sandwich spot, with some fun and unique menu items. When I went, the indoor area wasn't open, which was a bit of a bummer since there wasn't any outdoor seating either. I had the Jimmy Pesto and enjoyed it. The pesto was delicious, and the bread was so soft and fresh tasting. My only minor complaint was that there wasn't much meat, especially at the ends of the sandwich. read more

Highlights/Lowlights 1. Easy online ordering available 2. Gluten-Free options 3. Great sandwiches! Placed a pick up order for 7 today online. It was quick and easy and our entire order was ready for pick up in about 20 minutes. There are a variety of sandwiches (including vegetarian options) as well as salads. The spot is just a cute little pick up window and they have a line to place orders and a separate line to pick up orders (makes it very efficient!). I had the Turkey pesto sub on gluten-free bread and it was AWESOME! It's so rare to be able to truly have a gluten-free sub sandwich. 10/10 recommend! read more

Visited 10/20/23. Omg cannot say enough good things about these sandwiches. The second my friend and I saw a line down the street we knew these sandwiches were going to be good. I got the #1 (turkey, avocado, jack cheese, bread sauce, caramelized onions, mixed greens, tomato) and my friend got the Fresh Prince (avocado, cucumber, crispy onions, pickled jalapeños, coleslaw, ranch, and herb aioli). I paid 50 cents extra for the sourdough bread. Although there was a line, it wasn't a huge wait and wow was it worth it. Everything was so fresh and they make many of the things in house as well which adds a lot of freshness. Would definitely recommend. read more

Seriously some of the best sandwiches my family has had! We're New Yorkers, so we are picky about bagels and delis. Plus, my dad is a chef and super critical about other people's foods and he even sang its praises! My cousin even texted me that he dad told her about the delicious sandwiches I had bought for their arrival. I had to pick my parents up from the airport at night and knew they'd be hungry. I called around to see if any of the top-rated PDX sandwich shops trusted that their breads could withstand the 5 hours until their arrival. The team member that answered the phone listed off the ones she thought would survive as long as I omitted the tomatoes. I got the Jimmy Pesto, Chubby Puggy, Stein's, C.A.R, and the Goods. All were still delicious and not soggy when they arrived. And even better, there were leftovers because they are a decent size and when they ate them two days later at their picnic and they said they still weren't soggy! I was impressed. The bread isn't a stale block or anything, just well made! The only one I didn't steal a bite of was the Chubby Puggy. My husband took that one to work. He wished there was a little more bacon jam, but said it was a good sandwich. My mom and I aren't particular fans of pastrami, but the Goods was so good! They have definitely reopened the pastrami menu possibilities in my book. This will definitely be my new sandwich go-to, especially for adventures (picnics, beach, hiking, etc.). read more

Break Bread - Pearl - The half Jimmy Pesto (nice quick snack/small lunch to tide me over til I got home after errands) - Delis Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been on the hunt for the best sandwiches in the Portland/Beaverton area and unfortunately, this place did not quite deliver. A good sandwich (to me) is supposed to be packed with meats and the additional ingredients should all come together to create a delicious bite. A good sandwich should also always have good sauce/aioli/condiments. That absolutely makes or breaks a sandwich and this place does their sauces and aiolis really well! They are house made and complimented the sandwich. They only have a window at the door to order. There is no indoor/outdoor seating. The goods: The bread was soft and toasty but the bread to meat ratio was wayyy too much. There was barely meat. Felt like I was eating bread with aioli and pickles. This therefore make the sandwich too expensive for what you get. Would love to hear your thoughts! read more

What a gem! -- seriously I wasn't knowing what to expect but when I got there, the service first off was amazing. I was squinting in the back at an old chalkboard menu and they showed me there was a menu to the side. I then asked which would be preferred the C.A.R. or BBQ Sandwich, and steered me in the perfect direction. There's also some seats to the side to enjoy downtown Portland while "breaking bread" -- don't forget to get the Dutch crunch bread for an extra $.50. Totally worth it!!! read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday and there was a short line. I ordered a Jimmy pesto on the dutch crunch bread. There were some seats and tables available outside of the shop and it's also a close walk to the waterfront. It didn't take too long for my order to be ready. The full-size sandwich is pretty big and can be shared between two people! I ate half and saved the other half for later. IT WAS DELICIOUS. The combination of the turkey with all the fixings and pesto was so tasty! The bread had just the right crunch and it didn't feel like it was cutting the roof of my mouth. If you're looking for a solid sandwich to satisfy your cravings, this is the place. read more

This place has a nice attitude ... friendly people . But ... they have their so called chicken and turkey Sandwiches that are mixed with weak bbq sauce - Horrific ! If you don't know how to order here , you will make the same mistake I did . I might Try this place again .. some day ... maybe read more

Ohhhhhh my gosh. Stopped here today after my haircut and I'll definitely be back. I had the Jimmy Pesto and it's my new favorite sandwich. I could make it at home but, who are we kidding? I won't. The pesto and roasted red peppers are made in-house and are mouthwatering. The turkey to pesto to roasted pepper ratio is spot on, and they aren't stingy! And they have a nice selection of drinks (still/sparkling waters, a few sodas, and maybe kombucha I think?), and ALL the Kettle Chips flavors. I just finished my lunch sandwich and am seriously considering returning for dinner. The one change I'd make? Not wearing a white shirt! read more

Definitely a must if you love freshly homemade creative sandwiches. No seating at all and a sometimes a 10 to 20 min wait after ordering but SO worth the wait. The bread is freshly baked and all the ingredients are farm to table. The produce tastes like they were picked that morning. The staff are all friendly and want to make sure that you're going to love your sandwich. read more

The bread was good and crunchy but wow, would it hurt you to spare some meat on your sandwiches? For this reason, we will not be returning. The Baker's Mark is our comparison. An ample amount of meat to bread ratio. So sorry Break Bread, we wanted this to be a good rating considering the Puggy Sauce is great. You have to add more meat to the game for us to return. read more

I had an hour plus delay for Amtrak in Portland so I yelped sandwiches and found this place. Ordered the C. A. R. Which is the chicken, avocado, ranch and crispy onions. I added the Dutch Crunch bread for an extra $.50. The Pearl district near the train station is sketchy but the business is beyond that area. If walking, you just have to travel through that area. The sandwich was great. Very fresh ingredients. Crunchy tiger bread is good but be ready for lots of crumbs. The avocado slices were perfect and added some wonderful creaminess to the sandwich. Overall I liked this sandwich. If you're in the area, give it a try. read more

I happen to live in the Portland area and I found this great sandwich place the same way I find most new places, by searching yelp. While many of the posted reviews may be from out of towners, one visit to this busy shop will tell you that the locals love it. The menu lists a nice variety of sandwiches including three tempting vegetarian choices. Usually I'm lucky to find one veggie sandwich on the menu. They also have two side salads, potato and arugula along with assorted chips. There is a variety of beverages available including cider, beer and wine. Today I ordered the credible hulk veggie sandwich and the potato salad. Both items were delicious and I would definitely return. read more

My husband and I have been here twice now, and each time we're amazed with how good the sandwiches are here! They always seem busy but they're pretty efficient and they keep the flow going smoothly. Honestly I think even if they did take a little while for the food I wouldn't care because I know the sandwich would be so worth the wait! The employees have been really nice both times we've been there too. They make sure to pack the sandwich up with a ton of meat and toppings. Their menu is full of different creative sandwiches, and they have different bread options as well. The price isn't bad if you take into consideration the quality of the products they use and the fact that the meat/toppings are end to end on the roll. We got their August special to split this time, if you happen to go while it's still available I highly recommend it! (And look at how packed that sandwich is!) read more

Best sandwich in town!! However I haven't tried every sandwich shop, it's just that good! The sandwiches are loaded with fresh ingredients and packed with flavor! I love this place! Can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches. I've tried the Bahn Yu which was delicious, it had a bit of a spicy kick but nothing you can't handle. And I have also tried the #1 which is a simply and next level classic. Pictured in my post is a build your own sandwich and just look at the layers of fresh ingredients! My bread of choice is the French bread. This place makes hearty sandwiches that will satisfy any flavor craving and keep you nice and full. Definitely give it a try! read more

In the end at least the sandwich was very good. Nice to have the option for Dutch crunch bread. The ordering process needs some help. We tried to do the online ordering while driving over. It seemed good allowing us to put in a special custom sandwich for myself as I like simple sandwiches. Working well till we put in the credit card and hit order. Then it just spins and spins. So got to the store and went in and were told oh we turned off the online ordering off. Well that's not cool it still took our card looking like it worked. The next challenge was ordering my simple sandwich. We could do it online but in person it was a struggle to get a half sandwich with meat and cheese that didn't cost more than a full sandwich with everything on it. Really does that make sense? Took some pushing back that why should we pay more for a lot less and all are made right there in front of you. Multiple conversations to the guy in the back and finally got it worked out. Again in the end the sandwiches were good but a lot of pain and now worry about our credit card. When they turn back on online ordering will it place our order??? read more

Decided to try the local "Pearl District" sandwich shop. This particular sandwich shop's specialty is the different types of bread offered. I tried the "Dutch Crunch" it's like a French bread, but much crispier and lighter as well. The sauce was subpar, a type of "Pesto" that looked and tasted more so like a thousand island hybrid type. The deli meat is just that, deli meat. The location is in a yuppie-ish neighborhood, as the clientele is such as well. It's all about me me me! Old yuppie saying for you young people read more

I'm actually disappointed that I only get to Portland once a year to visit my brother now that I've found this joint. Don't get me wrong, PDX has plenty of really delicious food, you can't go hungry, especially in the Pearl. That being said, I am a sandwich guy and this take out only spot is so worth the wait. They have two lines so you can pick up orders or place new ones, and while there were 5-6 people waiting when I walked up, it maybe took 10 minutes to get my sando. I got the "Someone on the Blazers" and it was incredible. Really good, everything was so fresh, but the Dame sauce is the winner. Little sweet, little spicy, all amazing. You really need to check these folks out. read more

Vegetarian sandwich selection is great. Boyfriend says the turkey sandwich is his go-to now. There is no seating indoors as it's a grab and go window but they have like 3 tables outside. read more

I was in NW portland for a training last week and the instructor recommended this place. I'm glad we took her suggestion. I was in line waiting to order and someone from the class came in and she recommended the chicken salad sandwhich on the dutch roll. I took her recommendation and I'm glad I did. It was filling and a good combination of chicken salad, lettace, tomato and sweet slivered almonds. read more

Adding to those who were totally underwhelmed by the sandwiches here. I tried the Chubby Puggy and my husband had I Try To Be Vegetarian. Both of us thought the sandwiches were just ok and we won't be back. They were lacking in flavor and substance. I liked but didn't love the Dutch Crunch bread. If you want to try a really good sandwich, cross the river and go to Snappy's. I've only been there a couple of times so far but those are sandwiches that actually stopped me in my tracks and I was like "that's sooooooo good". (Tried the 4 pointer and the veggie, both are fantastic) read more

Pierce is as knowledgeable as he is friendly behind the counter. I based this lunch stop - strictly - on Yelp's feedback and it was outstanding. I opted for the Bahn Yu with chicken sriracha mayo, pickled jalapeños, pickled shallots, carrots and fresh French bread. Everything came together perfectly balanced, proper portions and a really well built and structured sammich. Just an outstanding lunch spot and I am certain we will be return customers. read more

Ordered the Someone On The Blazers sandwich on French bread for lunch last week. Ordered online and was quoted a 15 min wait. It was ready when I got there + the staff member was super friendly. The sandwich was quite literally the one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had in my life? It was savory with a slight kick and the bacon jam brought the perfect amount of sweetness to the mix. Didn't see an option for the order to be on Dutch Crunch when I placed my order online but I'll definitely be back to try the other options. read more

I was in the neighborhood, so I looked up lunch spots on yelp and found this place! I was wanting a sandwich and the pics on here looked great! First off the atmosphere is great! I walked in and was greeted right away. I said I hadn't been there before and the girl working was super helpful on making a decision. I decided on the half Jimmy pesto on sourdough w/ chips for $8.50. It was the best sandwich I have had in a long time! There is house pesto is to die for! I didn't get to the chips, but I polished off the sandwich. I was the perfect amount of full. Check this place out! I will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding! When I arrived at Break Bread for lunch there was a line out the door that moved pretty quickly, enjoy a glass of lemon water while you wait. All sandwiches looked delicious, so you can't go wrong there...make sure to order your bread "Dutch Crunch" I ordered the Credible Hulk which was a fantastic vegetarian option that paired so nicely with the Happy Mountain Kombucha, they have a nice variety of Kombuchas and sodas.

Absolutely love going to Break Bread for lunch. My office is just a few blocks away on Flanders and it's without a doubt a staple for our company. The Pearl has needed a true deli sandwich for quite sometime, and they've nailed it. I've been hitting the shop for lunch since their opening in April and it continues to get better and better as the team dials it in. My favorite sandwich so far is "Someone on the Blazers", the bacon jam is delicious and doesn't overpower the sandwich. Do it on a Dutch Crunch, don't even think twice. My only wish is that you'd open on Sunday's for my hangovers, but I know ya'll need a break from slingin' bread all week! Keep up the good work! read more

I'm always on the hunt for a good sandwich shop. Subway just doesn't do it for me. I seen someone post on Instagram about Break bread. One pic of the sandwich and I was hooked. Took a bit for me to find it as it's on Hoyt and not Glisan. Once you enter menus are on the right or the board behind the cashier. I ordered the Corleone minus the almonds. I'm not allergic just not a fan. The Ham and Salami ohh my and the pesto Uber tasty. I went with the French roll, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I can see why they start running out of it just after lunch. Plenty of seating and I love the communal table. read more

I Try To Be Vegetarian... current life motto and now my favorite sandwich at Break Bread. The aesthetic was pleasing, the food was delicious and the service was fun. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back. Chicken Avocado Ranch; "Bomb sandwich" -Guy at the table next to me Update from 6/10: I walked over a mile to come back today when they open, and I'm back to eat their Chicken Avocado Ranch sandwich myself. It's more than just the bomb - it's the best cold chicken sandwich I've ever had. The ranch was subtle, but very flavorful. Same thing with their fried onions, they're made in-house and are super delicious. I paid a little extra for the sourdough bread, but it was worth it. It wasn't too crunchy, nor was it too soft. It was perfect, like their avocados. Oh, and a message for Anna D. - News Flash: They're real reviews. Yes, I'm from California, but I don't know the owners at all. Other people, from out of town, also decided to eat here. They weren't disappointed. What's fake though is YOUR review. The only 1 star review that you've ever made, and you even said the sandwich is okay. So, why the 1 Star? It sounds like we do need Batman, but to fight off YOU, Poison Ivy. Oh, and yes, I hardly write any reviews, and they're only 5 stars because I don't waste my time otherwise. - But this one is definitely worth it. Break Bread, I'll miss you when I fly home tomorrow! read more
