Friendly vegan only neighborhood coffee shop that roasts their own coffee, serves simple breakfast goods, plays the chillest music and has ample seating. Inside is welcoming and gives cabin vibes with a high wooden ceilings and an abundance of plant life. The owner is at the counter serving the coffee or just to chat you up. They roast their own beans which are a blend of Brazilian and Mexican, and also single origin Mexican. Both are smooth, with the blend being the obvious bolder choice. They do only have vegan milks, so keep that in mind when coming here to order a milky drink. I ordered a drip and it was light enough to drink straight. If you have a pet or just need some fresh air, there is a covered patio that has a few picnic tables and a good view of passersby on Weidler. Would come again to try a vegan cortado and the chill vibes that this spot brings.

Breakfast sandwich

Obsessed with the garden variety latte. You can ask for it hot too. The breakfast bagel sandwich was yummy, especially the dill spread on the sourdough. Love how spacious the cafe is and there's a significantly large patio to work outside during the spring and summer. There's also sugar free options like a sugar free vanilla latte that you can get. Baristas were kind!

My tune has changed after six years. Spicy chai was excellent and vegan breakfast sandwich (opt for the Mama's Lil Peppers) was better than expected.

Just moved to Portland and have been on the hunt for a chill spot to enjoy some coffee outdoors--and Jetblack totally delivered. Their patio is perfect: cozy wooden picnic benches, green-painted floors that blend in with the trees, and plenty of fresh air. Bonus: it's a fully vegan shop with four non-dairy milk options (soy, coconut, oat, and almond) and they use organic syrups.

Cardi B latte. Soooo good.

Amazing coffee place we stumbled on which happened to be vegan which we happen to be as well. Breakfast sandwich was AMAZING!

came here to get coffee and a snack, left with one of the best vegan breakfast sandwiches of my life. it's dramatic but i've never had a sourdough english muffin that good before! i got 2 iced lattes (vanilla and pistachio) that were alright. service was fast and friendly and overall cute coffee shop vibe

Jet Black Coffee: Breakfast sandwich with Just Egg

I was having a crappy day, and it was still early in the day. I was driving home in an area I'm unfamiliar with. Traffic was backed up. The silver lining of my day came in the guise of an all vegan coffee shop. I was hungry and ordered the breakfast sandwich. It was made with Just Egg. When I got the sandwich, thought it looked a little plain. But it sure packed a flavor punch! It was delicious! I didn't order coffee because I still had quite a drive home. I loved the edgey vibe of this coffee shop, cool artwork!

Love this vegan place! Tucked away in the Gateway neighborhood next to a vegan sandwich food cart and Food Fight vegan grocery. Their policies are fairly strict when it comes to COVID - they still require masks and are not allowing indoor seating at the moment. However, they have a decent sized patio you can sit on to enjoy your coffee. I went today (Saturday) and they had a special banana-based creamer. I didn't try it but it seemed to be popular. I did get the iced latte and a squash green onion scone - both delicious. I appreciate that they serve their "for-here" coffees in mason jars and have real plates/silverware rather than paper or plastic ones to reduce waste. Plant-lovers, check out their collection! Some impressive plants. Guess I need to take lessons from them on both coffee-making and keeping plants alive.

Outdoor patio.

You can't go wrong with this little coffee shop. Quality espresso and lattes are very good. They offer non- milk choices of soy, oat, almond and coconut. They sell delicious pastries like scones, muffins cookies and breakfast sandwiches. They have an chill atmosphere with outdoor pet friendly seating that is partially covered plus indoor dining area. Chic decor with lots of house plants varieties.

Went here for my friend's birthday dinner. I don't think I've been to a vegetarian Thai place…read morebefore, but the food was amazing! We took the bus here and it was close to a bus stop, and I think there's also street parking available as well. The decorations were very cute--it's a smaller restaurant, but they really made sure the ambiance was nice. I ordered some tea and a see ew, and we shared waffle fries and brussel sprouts. Each dish was flavorful and so good--my favorite was the see ew. I still think about it! Definitely a return restaurant on my next visit to Portland!

Since it was my first time, I asked the staff for a recommendation. They suggested the bibimbap and mentioned it was on the spicy side, which I was totally okay with. While their cocktails looked really tempting, I ended up getting a Mexican Coke, and I loved that they had it. The bibimbap was absolutely delicious. It had so many different flavors and textures, and somehow they all worked perfectly together. The waiter also suggested mixing everything together before taking the first bite, which I really appreciated. The ambiance was super cute, with a cozy little tiki-bar vibe inside, and they also have a few outdoor tables. The service was exceptional throughout. This is an easy 5-star review from me.

The onigiri is art. And the service is always polite and professional. Always. I was physically at the restaurant the night these one star people were there.

I kinda get both sides ya know , sure one person in the group wants a drink w dinner but dude just tough it out and have your dinner. Instead they popped off and all started fussing and being entitled and it was just gross. I was enjoying a fantastic dinner but that table was like trying to take the stage. I think they ended up storming out and one girl like stomped off and said she was keeping her cup !! lol I worked in food a long time ago. And I've worked in cannabis under the watchful eye of the olcc so I'm on the servers side. Don't take chances and don't listen to these kids scramble for a secondary ID. Sketch. Go to obon.

They have a huge section of gluten-free items, so this is a mecca for people with gluten or dairy allergies. They even have quesadillas made with sunflower cheese that looks and tastes melty in miraculous ways I don't understand. Guac was perfect. All the seitan meats were seasoned with flavorful sauce that permeated all the way through. Nothing on the menu is expensive, especially considering the labor to prepare such complex vegan versions of an already laborious cuisine. I'll definitely return next time I'm passing through town. And recommend it to everyone.

We came by on a weeknight around 6 pm and were able to squeeze into a table. I will say, this is my own fault for not noticing when we sat down, but we chose a table closer to the bathroom and I did not enjoy how it was left open with no sort of division or curtain to close off the area. I didn't enjoy seeing it or smelling the bathroom soap with my meal which was a bummer. The interior is a whole vibe otherwise and the decorations are so vibrant. You can order at the counter or via QR code and we opted for that for ease. We grabbed 2 of the empanadas, the asada burrito w/guacamole added, and 2 tacos (al pastor and frijoles). Listen I will dream about that delicious burrito for ages. The asada was so freakin delicious and the crispy crunchy bits were to die for; I literally fought my husband for the last bites. The tacos were also good and I enjoyed them both but the frijoles won over the al pastor. The empanadas were a miss for us though; the elote one was better than the potato and soyrizo but even then, the texture of the actual empanada was off and I just did not enjoy it. I'm sure they have had more of a crowd given their recent shout out (which is well deserved and should be celebrated!) but it legitimately took over 30 min for us to get any single item of food. We got a limonada which took ~15 min to come out then the food itself hit the table at about ~35 min with one item still missing. I want to give some grace to the extremely hardworking team and it was evident that they had a ton of to go/takeout orders, but maybe they can hit a balance between those and people dining in. They did seem spread very thin across the evening. I literally dreamt about that burrito on a subsequent day sooo you know I will be back. I was also so sad to not have their giant fries with delicious toppings because there was no way we could tackle that with everything we ordered, so definiiitely find me at Mis Tacones again. All in all, go support a wonderful local business serving up plant-based Mexican dishes.

We shared an order of hush puppies and they were awesome. They were cooked perfectly and tasted very fresh and flavorful. We also tried the calamari which was also good (though it lacked salt overall). My wife got the catfish, and I thought it was very good. Nice texture with the cornmeal crust and had a nice subtle seafood flavor. The sauces were all good and I enjoyed dipping in all of them. Although I did find the remoulade sauce to be a bit bland compared to the other sauces. It was still good though. I enjoyed the mashed potatoes and gravy. They were very rich with a nice texture. The greens were also tasty and cooked well. My friend got the bbq ribs with rice and beans. The rib was nice. Not what I was expecting it to look like, but the bbq sauce was tasty and had some nice smoke taste coming through. The rice and beans were simple and good. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. It was very delicious! I was surprised by how much flavor the fried chicken had. I couldn't eat all of it and ended up eating the rest cold for dinner the next day and somehow it tasted even better! All in all we had a great experience. The service was friendly and quick. The space was clean and charming. I loved all of the hot sauce and condiment options. I love this place and will definitely be back.

Watch in-depth video breakdown here…read morehttps://youtu.be/2LsMS2vxzRU?is=U5MfItnpo97tUvuq Dirty Lettuce had me questioning whether I was really in Portland or somehow got transported back down South. I'll admit, I came into this place with a slight bias. I'm from the South, and maybe it's ignorant, but when I hear "soul food," I automatically think of the South. I grew up around soul food. I know what good collard greens taste like. I know what good mac & cheese tastes like. So when I heard people on TikTok raving about a vegan soul food restaurant in Portland, Oregon, part of me was thinking: "Soul food? In Portland? How good could it really be?" Well... Dirty Lettuce shut me up pretty quickly. I originally found this place while searching TikTok for vegan restaurants in Portland. Dirty Lettuce kept coming up, and people especially hyped up the fried chicken and BBQ ribs, so I had to see for myself. I ordered the fried chicken meal with collard greens and mac & cheese -- two sides I take VERY seriously. The fried chicken was incredible. The seasoning and batter reminded me of some kind of combination between KFC and Popeyes, while the inside stayed moist and tender. At certain points I genuinely forgot I was eating vegan chicken. It tasted and felt like I was eating a Southern fried chicken plate somewhere in Mississippi or Alabama. Then came the collard greens. Man... These greens tasted like somebody's grandma was in the kitchen cooking Thanksgiving dinner. They serve them in a bowl with plenty of pot liquor, so initially I thought they might be a little watery. Nope. That broth was PACKED with flavor. It was almost like a collard-green soup, and I mean that as a compliment. The greens and the broth complemented each other perfectly. And the mac & cheese? A1. Creamy, rich, flavorful, with this subtle smoky taste that I wasn't expecting. I don't know exactly what they did to it, but whatever they did -- KEEP DOING IT. I also tried the BBQ ribs. They were good, although they were probably my least favorite item compared with everything else. But that's almost unfair because the chicken, greens and mac & cheese set the bar ridiculously high. I also went into the ribs with huge expectations after hearing people hype them up on TikTok, and I'm not really a ribs guy to begin with. So take my opinion there with a grain of salt. They were still good. My one area for improvement would be customer service. The woman who took my order wasn't rude or anything, but I personally would have appreciated a warmer greeting and more inviting energy. I'm very big on customer service, and I think the person at the front counter sets the tone for the entire experience. Maybe she was just having an off day -- we all have them -- but that was really the only part of my visit that didn't match the quality and energy of the food. The restaurant itself is small, clean and has some really cool artwork on the walls. It has a nice atmosphere without trying to be anything overly fancy. But the FOOD is the story here. At one point during my meal, I remembered that Black people make up a relatively small percentage of Oregon's population, and I became convinced somebody from that percentage had to be back there in that kitchen cooking. Because there was no way these greens were tasting this close to something my grandma would have made on Thanksgiving. I came in skeptical. I left thoroughly impressed. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or eat meat every day of your life, I'd recommend trying Dirty Lettuce. And if you're from the South and you're skeptical about getting legitimate soul food in Portland like I was? Go ahead and try it. It legitimately reminded me of a Southern Sunday plate from somebody's mama's kitchen. Dirty Lettuce proved me wrong -- and I'm glad they did. Highly recommended.

The food was so good it made my day; adding tempeh to the mighty bowl with the garlic and tahini sauce is so good. 10/10 recommend. The real reason I came to write this review though is because staff is super sweet and genuine. It was my first time coming here, and I had a lot of questions about the menu to the point where I could feel myself becoming annoying (face palm). The gal taking my order was Jessi, she was so helpful, kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and authentically friendly. I can't remember what it was that we shared a laugh about, but I walked away happy because of that type of simple interaction that restores your faith in humanity. People who have never worked in the service industry are generally clueless and walk into a restaurants like it's their first day on earth. But even with my string of annoying questions, she never once made me feel like I was being a nuisance. Whoever is in charge here you should give Jessi a raise. The food is great, but she's the reason I'll be coming back!

I ordered for pickup myself and picked up less than 10minutes After I placed the PU order. That's the whole reason I said they were "exceptionally fast" in my original review. The ambiance was cool and the service was exceptionally fast. Unfortunately both items I ordered were gross. I love chocolate and peanut butter together esp with coffee but their drink was inedible with an awful taste. Maybe they gave me almond butter by mistake. Woof I couldn't even force it down. The quesadilla was incredibly greasy and nothing like a quesadilla. The mouth feel of the walnut chorizo with the soft vegetables was weird / it felt gritty. The flavors fell as well. The only highlight was the salsa but I'm 90% sure it was salsa de welo which you can buy at a store. No one would finish my quesadillas at the table. Major miss for me. Some of the worst food I've had - sorry.
