The Best Restaurants for Affordable Dining in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"This Vietnamese coffee shop from roaster Kimberly Dam generated serious buzz when it opened in 2021, slinging cà phê sữa đá, ube and cardamom-flavored lattes, and inventive pastries. Like other restaurants on this map, the move here is sandwiches, in this case bánh mì. Provided by Dam’s mother’s House of Bánh Mì, the sandwiches are just $9, with several grilled meat options and a tofu option available for vegetarians. The bánh mì come slathered with rich egg butter, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, and soy sauce. Add a cold brew, and you’ll only end up spending $14. The cafe also operates a Northeast Portland location." - Katrina Yentch
