"Don’t worry, vegans: local cheesemongers haven’t forgotten about you. Vtopia in Southwest Portland’s Goose Hollow neighborhood specializes in house-made, aged vegan cheese. You can buy a block of cheese to take home yourself, with options like cashew-based cheddar, soy-based brie, soy-and-coconut-based muenster, and soy-based mozzarella. The shop also offers a menu of comfort foods, like vegan mac and cheese made with cashew-based cheese sauce and mozzarella. But for the ultimate cheesy treat, pursue the shop’s grilled mac and cheese sandwich, made with the shop’s classic mac with extra melty cheese on vegan Grand Central Bakery Como bread." - Zoe Baillargeon
