    BLT salad
    Joseph N.

    Great bay area style sandwich place in Portland and one of the only places to offer Dutch crunch bread. Chubby Puggy and BLT salad are favorites of mine.

    10/10 sandwich shop!! I don't eat any deli meat and I do enjoy as odd as it sounds the occasional sandwich! I I kid you not this is the best vegetarian sandwich ever. I have no hope to recreate this masterpiece. They even cut my half sando in half! Very kind of them. They also nestle napkins into the sandwich for easy carrying. My only pain point is I wish they were open weekends, I would definitely be back more often. Great selection of sandwiches and very very happy I went!

    First thing first, the sandwiches were fantastic, no complaints at all. Perfect portions from the meat to condiments I'll admit that during lunchtime, it gets packed, but I assure you it is worth the wait. Cleanliness was definitely noticeable. I even noticed that the cashier would wash his hands after every phone call. If you ever get a break during the day, definitely stop by Break Bread. Service 10/10 Food 10/10

    BLT Salad, Strami Sandwich, and the Steins Sandwich

    I was having an ITCH for a sandwich and after seeing this spot on Tiktok, I had to try it. The inside of the shop is spacious, but there is limited seating (only 2-3 tables with only 2 seats each). It is much better spot for to-go. I thought it was so creative the way they had their menu painted on a giant space on the wall, and it was so done so well and separated by meats. They have a variety of sandwiches and salads, but my favorite part is how they offer full and half portions! As someone who has a smaller appetite, often times a full sandwich is too much for me. My boyfriend and I ordered a BLT salad and two half portions of the Stein and the Strami. The portions were PERFECT, meat was plentiful, and the bread was amazing. Loved how they paired each of the ingredients in each sandwich and the salad was light and refreshing. I would love to come back here to try some of their other sandwiches!

    Hands down Break Bread is my favorite shop in all of Portland. Their bread is amazing and their sandwich options, in particular the sauces, truly stand out. They can get very busy at lunch so I recommend ordering online a head of time. Also as a first time visitor I did get lost as I didn't expect a sandwich shop inside of a building that appears to be a bank; just follow the smell of sandwiches.

    Atmosphere: Take-out only when I went. You ordered at the counter and they brought it out Food:Eh sandwich was average tbh. Just didn't really come together all that well. Would rather get a hoagie somewhere Price: Little expensive for a sandwich IMO Service: Service was fine Parking: Street parking

    Their Dutch crunch bread is to die for even if it will scrape up ur mouth, it's worth it. Lunch rush is not horrible but not great so I would order head if you need it quickly! Every sandwich so far I've tried is a 10/10

    CAR- very little avocado. Don't recommend.

    Very underwelmed. Door dashed the CAR sandwich had hardly any avocado or fried onion on it and was very disappointed. Between door day fees and the price of the sandwich it was $17. Not worth it for barely any avocado.

    A great sandwich option with their own variations! Their full sandwich size has a better price per size, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try two half sized sandwiches. I got the cubby puggy. Their puggy sauce is ranch based with hints of avocado. I wish I also tried the #1 which has the bread sauce, a ranch based tangy sauce. Instead, I got the Italian one, a classic. Both sandwiches were awesome and held up nicely until the next day. I asked if they could use a clean washed knife for the gluten free bread and they were super accommodating. The oven to toast the bread is shared and NOT dedicated so I recommend skipping the toast if your gluten free allergy is severe.

    Service is SLOW! Give yourself an hour for a sandwich to be made. Food is pretty good, but not worth the wait

    Great service and delicious food! Visited while in Oregon with my sister, who recommended this…read moreplace, and we even had the chance to chat with the owner, which made the experience even better. They're open on Mondays, which is rare since many restaurants are closed, so it was nice to try it before leaving. My sister ordered the spaghetti and cheese with two large meatballs, garlic bread, and the Chicago beef with Italian sausage, and both were great. The meatballs were especially delicious. I just wish more were included, though extras are available to order. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was very cheesey and flavorful. Afterward, we noticed you can add pepperoni and make it a "Chicken Parmeroni," which sounds like a better option. The large antipasta salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, and it's nice that you can choose your dressing . I really love the antipasta salad! Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth recommending! Wish there had been time to try more of the menu.

    Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was like why I can find at home and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!
