16 Essential Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Portland

"Those in the know have stocked up on Orange & Blossom’s cardamom carrot cakes and rosemary focaccia at farmers markets long before it landed a spot on Killingsworth. The gleaming pastry case is filled with vegan treats like brioche buns swirled with miso butterscotch caramel, chewy-crunchy matcha sugar cookies, and super fudgy buckwheat chocolate truffles. Customers can enjoy slices of buttercream-topped pistachio olive oil cake in the patisserie’s gorgeous nook, with vintage bentwood chairs, a plush burnt orange couch, and dramatic floral wallpaper. Desserts rotate with the seasons as pastry chef Marisa Kroes sources produce, like winter citrus and rhubarb, from Oregon and Washington farms." - Waz Wu
