I bumped down to Tally's Kitchen at Bayside after a doctor's appointment at Intermed. The advertising in the building elevator is what prompted my interest. After exploring the menu while waiting to get called in by a nurse, I saw that the prices were something that I couldn't ignore. It's an inviting space and the staff was friendly. I got a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and a small coffee before heading on with my day! I was satisfied and will probably go back the next time I'm at Intermed. read more

When I stopped by there was a problem with staffing, however I got probably one of the most Delicious sandwiches I have ever eaten. I also tried the lemon bar, which was very good. The poor lady behind the counter I think was trying to do everything so not a lot of interaction there. I hope they get there staffing situation under control because they really do make some good food. I would recommend this place. read more

Stopping at Tally's on my way home always makes trips to the doctor a bit more exciting. I appreciate the fresh ingredients and the prices seem to be comparable to similar places in the area. Really yummy sandwiches and salads, with some unique options that are fun to try. They also have a good drink selection with locally made options. The location is clean, service is quick, and they have outdoor seating in the warmer months. If you make a visit, be sure to try their lemon squares! read more

Tally's is without question my favorite spot down on Bayside. It's a little place, but wicked cozy, and the food is great. When my schedule allows it, I get down there almost every day to get lunch. They make the food pretty quickly, they're very polite and generally cheerful, and its pretty obvious my business is appreciated there. The only downside is limited parking, but honestly it isn't usually a big deal. Big fan, overall. read more

One of two quaint locations, both located about 6 minutes apart from one another here in Portland. All carefully hand made food with quality ingredients and friendly service. Would recommend. And remember folks Support small local business! read more

The food was great, but the service was rude. Since it was my first visit, I was greeted by a woman at the counter who rushed me while I was trying to place my order. I asked about their coffee menu, and she interrupted me, saying they only offer drip coffee. That's fine, but there was no signage about it. read more

I got lunch at the Stevens Avenue location today. The staff was very friendly & polite. I had a Farmhouse BLT. My sandwich was warm and the ingredients were nice and fresh. The service was quick. I would definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

Use to go to this place when it was at Martin's point and loved the chicken salad and ice coffee with coffee cubes. New location is really cute, nice places to sit and cute decor. Sad that they are only open during week days. The breakfast sandwiches were really good. bagels were good and fresh. We liked it so much we tried to go back on New Years day but it was closed. I am looking forward to going back to try the lunch menu out it looked really good. read more

I am a huge fan of this place. For many reasons. It is very close to where I work. I get a discount because of where I work. The girls working here are the NICEST in town. And the food is super yummy and decently priced! What more is there to need? This small, quaint little shop pumps out some amazing breakfast sandwiches (with some of the crispiest bacon anywhere), some delicious soups at lunch time (sweet potato, black bean and quinoa chili... yummmm) and amazingly creative sandwiches (try the pilgrim). And that is not even mentioning their delicious bakery creations. Whoopie pies, lemon squares, 7-layer bars, brownies, cookies and more, they have everything the sweetest tooth could ever want. Location is a bit hard, unless you work at either Drummond Woodsum or Intermed (which luckily I do), but it is definitely worth snagging a spot at Trader Joes, or behind Miss Portland and taking the very short jaunt over. I have never had a single bad thing from here (I've had some that I don't like as much, but we all have preferences). Trust me, get in here, and try breakfast. Then... come back for lunch. Sadly they aren't open for dinner, but hey I like my down time too. So get here before 3 p.m. and let them surround you with delicious, amazing, super yummy food. You won't regret finding your way to one of Portland's hidden gems. read more

Great service. The place is small but it's very busy. Even tho it's busy, the service is fast and the food is great. I was only able to visit them once. I ordered a mocha coffee and a chicken caprese sandwich. I was not disappointed at all. read more

Tally's is a great spot to grab lunch. I grabbed a Cape Cod Chicken Salad on a multigrain croissant. I've never had a multigrain croissant before. I honestly didn't think I'd like it but I was wrong. The sandwich was nothing less than amazing. They have online ordering options for convenience. The prices are good and the staff it pretty friendly. Give them a try! read more

My favorite thing about Tally's is that they have so many things that I like, and I'm admittedly kind of picky particularly when it comes to sauces/dressings on sandwiches. I work nearby, and I eat their food about 1-2 times per month. Some of my favorites are the breakfast sandwiches (always add avocado!), Thai crispy chicken wrap, grilled chicken pesto wrap, Mediterranean ciabatta, and the peanut butter crispy square. They consistently have new, seasonal specials each week, and those are hits too--my favorite recently was a sandwich with thick cut roasted turkey (not lunch meat), brie, and cranberry sauce. My favorite soups have been a butternut squash/apple bisque and chicken and dumplings. Tally's consistently proves that their base ingredients are high quality, and that makes me even more willing to try out new combinations. The owner works in the shop and is cheerful every time I interact with her. The prices are totally fair for the quality of the food. The portions are perfect for lunch. I am such a satisfied customer! read more

I absolutely spend entirely too much money at Tally's. It is irresistible. I have tried almost everything on the menu and never had anything I didn't like. They also change specials weekly and they have even listened to my suggestions for specials and things to put on their menu. Almost everything is made right there. They make their own bagels, which I highly recommend with their homemade freshly made veggie cream cheese! Soups, salads and sandwiches are all always fresh and their breakfast sandwiches with their homemade chipotle mayo are crave worthy. I highly recommend stopping in! read more

Tally's Kitchen at Bayside - Just a garden salad but so delicious and fresh - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Maine

Had an amazing lunch today from Tally's. I had the California Club and my daughter had the Chicken Salad. The bread was amazing and the serving sizes were huge. It was one of the best lunches I've had in ages. And the whoopie pies made for a special treat. The staff was great and very efficient even though they were super busy. I can't wait to go back and get a breakfast sandwich as I've been told they are the BEST and I believe it. Cute cafe with a large menu! Something for everyone. Lots of homemade baked treats in single serving sizes which I love so I can keep everyone in my family happy with their favorite cookie/brownie/bar. read more

After a doctor appointment upstairs - I stopped in for lunch. My favorite sandwich happened to be the daily special. The Rachel. The last time I've had a Rachel THAT delicious was back in the old Full Belly Deli days ( in the shopping plaza ). This was a very delicious and unexpected surprise to find such a GREAT sandwich in this little cafe. Hot off the grill marble rye, loaded with turkey, swiss, coleslaw & thousand island dressing. Yum ! The outdoor seating was great - it was a perfect summer day to enjoy an AMAZING Rachel sandwich and people watch. I'm glad I found a place to finally get my Rachel fix again ! read more

Great food and very nice people. I dropped my sandwich right after leaving and they were quick to make me a new one at no cost. Glad to see a place with delicious, quick sandwiches around. read more

Totally awesome local lunch spot! Great staff, good sandwiches, salads and other stuff. Service is quick and the location is very convenient. read more

I go here occasionally during my lunch break because of convenience. I find it to be pricey for the amount and quality of food. I do enjoy their homemade bagels during breakfast though. I just wish they would use a higher quality cream cheese. read more

This was an absolute surprise to me of how good this place was. The service was top notch. Very friendly people. It was beautifully decorated with a warm country feel to it. The food is EXCELLENT !!! we got the breakfast sandwich on their homemade bagel. It's not what you would think a bagel usually is. It was soft and the perfect size. The ice tea was very good. Had a touch of mint to it. Although I didn't try any thing off the lunch menu it looked very good. I defiantly will be back for it. read more

Dropped in looking for some simple pastries/bagels. Staff was friendly enough but after we ordered did not communicate with us at all about where we could get our coffee and food. Food was just ok and over priced and while the inside is ok definitely didn't have much atmosphere. Maybe ok for a drop in if you need food quick but would not recommend. read more

Stopped in for sandwiches to go on our way north and I'm so glad we did! They prepared our order so quickly and the food was delicious. I'd definitely come again if we're back in the area!! read more

This place is awesome!! I stopped in mid morning for a breakfast sandwich and ended up leaving with quite a few more things... The decor is super cute and I loved the family's history on the walls over the coffee. I ordered a gluten free breakfast wrap, a Cobb salad, and a thanksgiving sandwich. Everything was delicious! Even the gluten free wrap- do you know how rare that is!? They made it all fresh to order and I don't think I waited even 5 minutes. The people were amazing too! read more

It's a great place to grab some breakfast or lunch i love the breakfast wrap with eggs, sausage, and spicy Mayo

Super duper impressed - had the Californian chicken club. Bread/ingredients were super fresh! Best sand which I've had in Portland in awhile. read more

I work near Tally's and always looking for a good sandwich spot. Stopped in today and picked one up. So many options, and everything seems homemade. The sandwich was really good, and I'd like to try other options. My only complaint is that it was a pretty basic sandwich, 4 ingredients, and almost $10. I think it's pricey for what you get, so unfortunately it won't be my new go-to quick lunch spot. read more

This place is awesome. Perfect location for lunch and the most delicious veggie melt you will ever have in your life. Salads are amazing and the soup's are to die for. You must stop in if your around Bayside!!! read more

This cafe is so cute! It's great for take out and also awesome for dining in. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was the best I've ever had! Everything is so fresh and delicious. If you're in Portland, definitely check it out for breakfast or lunch. read more

Extraordinary. We are not from the area, and this place was an incredible find. Everything was delicious, and the level of service that we received from July was genuinely amazing. We cannot say enough good about Tally's. read more

Tally's Kitchen has the BEST breakfast sandwiches. They always make it so perfectly and it's my favorite morning breakfast. My favorite go to lunch meal is their chicken salad sandwich. The bread is always so fresh and fluffy. I love all of the options at Tally's and the staff is extremely welcoming! read more

This might as well be a gas station cafe. Everything from the food to the coffee drinks is low quality. I ordered a latte from the menu and was handed a cup with espresso and ice and told I had to make it myself. Which is fine I get some places do this, but not for drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, etc. I'm not a barista, I don't know how to make those drinks. It shouldn't be on the menu if that's how it works. Or at least explain that to the customer when they order it. Overall very disappointing experience, I won't be back. read more

Had a great ham, brie, and apple sandwich on a grilled chibbata roll with some yummy corn chowder. Was the meat carved from a freshly baked ham? An unexpected special find at the base of the InterMed building on Marginal Way. I'll try one of their inventive salads next time. read more

Tally's was a delightful surprise for lunch today. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the prices were reasonable, the serving sizes were generous and the food was Delicious! They even had a vegan option for me (amazing chili). If you're in the Bayside area, do yourself a favor and stop by Tally's. read more

Best food ever. I will be eating here all summer. So many choices. All homemade!!! Soups, sandwiches, salads and best of all the desserts. Right in the middle of Portland!! read more

Will for sure being going back. So many options I want to try them all!! I don't usually leave reviews but everything was just delicious! read more

Confused and disappointed. We ordered two salads and two iced teas. They gave us two plastic cups filled with ice to fill ourselves, come to find out that they were out of iced tea. Which was fine, just an honest mistake. However after they refunded the teas, we got back in line to purchase two bottles of tea and they made us get out of line to help the customer behind us even though we were there first. Then immediately grabbed the two cups of ice (which we could have used for our new tea) and put the cups back on the stack- even after we had touched them, saying that the cups need to be payed for (which we would have happily payed for given they're probably 3 cents). I was taken aback since we are in a pandemic and reusing cups if obviously unsanitary. It is very concerning. I also don't see why loosing less than a dollar on cups is such a big deal for your company. My friend and I have both worked in the food industry so we know how overwhelming working with customers can be. However from my experience in the industry It would be much more effective/ time efficient to give the customer 2 plastic cups than make a hassle over following the restaurants rules- I'm sure she would not have gotten in trouble for that. read more
