Lottie & Zula's

We live around the corner and come regularly for dine in and takeout. We also know a few of the folks who work there (hi Sandy and James!). Always a consistently delicious sandwich. Sure, sometimes you have to wait for your food. That's what happens when it's popular :) order ahead if you want to wait less. Highly recommend dining in for an overstimulating quantity of stickers and quintessentially Portland vibe with great music and good vibes. I almost always get the Jeff, my husband always gets the Ricky. Their breakfast sandwiches are also amazing. The chicken salad is delicious but be careful, it's a little spicy 🌶️ Lottie and Zula's is a staple for us. It should be for you too

I was visiting Portland solo after a trip to the Willamette Valley. A friend recommended this spot & he nailed it. It was easy to park and walk right into Lottie & Zulas. Service was fast & friendly. The environment was so awesome for a solo traveler, but would be even more rad with a friend or two. I ate half of my delicious sandwich & read my book in peace & wrapped up the rest for later. Sandwich was superb. My only regret is not trying more than one sandwich. Guess I’ll have to come back next time!

**Five stars is not enough** We've lived in Portland for over 30 years. I'm in the travel industry so we eat at some great spots nationwide. That being said, we keep a running list of places that we want to try here at home and this one has been on our radar for a very long time. We arrived Saturday Jan 17th and I ordered the Vinny meatball sub after the sweet hostess explained the menu to us and provided personal detail on her favorites when we told her that it was our first time in. The place was hopping and the play list was thumping. I grabbed my coffee (there are sodas, beer, ciders, etc in a large beverage fridge too) and sat to wait for my first experience. When the food arrived, the bread was light and airy but somehow still crunchy and substantial. The meatballs? Amazing, flavorful, perfectly placed amongst the melty cheese, sauce and giardinera. The sample bite that I took of the Manny (chicken salad) that my hubby ordered was equally delicious and fresh. I brought home leftovers and just today am eating the remaining piece of my sandwich cold and it IS STILL AMAZING!!! We will be back again and again to try the other menu items. It all looked so good. A huge thank you to the sweet girl with the bangs and bangin' eyebrows that was working (sorry, I didn't get your name) Even though she was busy she still took the time during the rush to give us the L&Z 101. It is evident that this is a place for EVERYONE. There were kids, parents, locals and all types of folks in here enjoying the eclectic vibe, great music and food that will leave you coming back for more. Happy we finally joined the family.

Fun, funky vibe with an upbeat helpful staff producing absolutely delicious sandwiches. Our group of six thoroughly enjoyed the Beet Melt, Roast Beef and Italian Grinder sandwiches as we dubbed in. Favorable portions and packaged well for leftovers. The music created a lively energy while we waited and ate. There were plenty of seating options and orders were produced pretty quickly. Worth it to stop in and would recommend!

One of the best sandwiches and pasta salads i've ever had! The staff is super friendly. The place is covered in stickers and wheat paste posters, beautiful decor!

Great music selection while you wait for your food. Staff is friendly and helpful. Just tell them it’s your first time. I had a beer with my Italian grinder and I was not disappointed. Will definitely be back at this establishment.

The craziest bathroom (take a peek at my pix!) decor but let me say this - the JIM vegan salad is absolute FIRE! LOVED the fact that breakfast offerings were available all day long and I was soooo tempted but - this veggie sando was worth it all! Why you say? It’s worth my deconstructed review: - first bite I thought “yummy but a little dry? Maybe they should have added a tomato?” - but by bite #5, the GENIUS-ness hits me; to keep that sourdough bread FIRM instead of turning into a mush-MESS requires careful ingredient layering (beans, avocado spread, all the way to the thinly shredded red cabbage. They created a “mushy-free zone” that holds up so well. And then the added flavors from the pickled red onions, peperoncinis and slivered cucumbers somehow pack a culinary punch that is so harmonious that your tastebuds are dancing. Hubby devoured his Reuben “grinder” in a hot minute. Do yourself a solid and ORDER ONLINE/PHONE ahead of time so pick up is smooth and easy. Definitely a great choice when you’re looking for some deli deliciousness. Heard the ITALIAN is the shizzzz so it’s the order next time!

One of the best sandwiches that I've ever had; No kidding. Great selections to choose from. Don't worry about the prices when you pay for quality, flavor, and a well done sandwich. Great customer service and very friendly. For my taste, the music was overpowering for a nice conversation, so we ordered to go. I totally recommend this place.

This place is my type of vibe and interest(s). I had the Reuben... fantastic! You enjoy punk rock, rock, stickers, coffee, etc. This is the place! Be ready for up-pace music

It's been awhile since I've had a seriously great sandwich. This exceeded our expectations. The bread was toasted and delicious. From the lettuce to the meat, everything was thinly cut on the Italian Grinder. The cheese was amazing. We will be back! Service was great, too.

Flew into Portland and spotted this little gem as I was aimlessly driving around. Had the breakfast sandwich with sausage. It was a good sandwich and the sausage had solid flavor. I wasn't blown away but it is definitely worth coming back for. I'm sure the coffee here is excellent based on the clientele and reviews but unfortunately I don't drink coffee. The lemonade was good although more tart than I'm accustomed to. Overall, solid food option with a nice atmosphere. I enjoyed all the sticker art on all the tables.

Absolutely loved this spot. The vibes, the team was so nice, and the food hit the spot. I ordered a vegetarian grinder which is made with roasted cabbage. I'm not a vegetarian but tend to lean towards vegetarian options because Portland has so many good ones! Highly recommend pairing with an Italian soda

This is probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. My husband ordered the Manny Ramirez chicken salad grinder for lunch and I shared with him through eating several bites. The combination of flavors and textures through each bite was so pleasing! This sandwich doesn't short you on your share of vegetables and the chicken ratio is 100%! The bread is that crunchy chewy French roll and it is an integral part of this sandwich! The ambiance here is so fun to walk in an order at as well as to sit down and have a quick bite. There is a good amount of seating and staff if friendly and helpful. I wish we had one of these on the east coast!

Atmosphere: Cool, trendy atmosphere that reminds me kind of like one of those upscale sneaker stores Food: Food was alright but nothing special Price: Too high Service: Good service Parking: Street parking

With sooo many great spots, the sandwich scene in PDX is tough. Yet, we recently stumbled another gem and it might just trumped all the other amazing spots we've been. Introducing, Lottie & Zula's. Leave your doom and gloom at the door because Lottie & Zula's is here to bring the fun to your next sandwich. First off, their entire interior is decorated with vibrant and funky stickers of all shapes and sizes! We're so entertained that we almost forgot how hungry we were. Their menu is stacked with delicious-sounding sandwich creations. From classics to crazy. We got a Mortadella Melt and the special Kitchen Sink Grinder to split and boy did we need to split them. These chonkers were big and stuffed with cheesy goodness, well-prepared meats, and a concoction of condiments of your dream. Seriously, the first bite into the Mortadella Melt and this spot became our number one sandwich place. The sourdough was toasted perfectly and every bite was just so dreamy with sweetness from the caramelized onions that paired so well with the fried mortadella and sauces. An out of body experience right here. The Kitchen Grinder was also very tasty. The roll was lightly toasted adding a nice crunch to the crust. Again, it's full of all sort of meat and gooey cheese, refreshed by the shredded cabbage and pickles. Still a solid sandwich but didn't quite blow us away as much as the melt. We love love love everything about this place. From the energy to the food to the people. We're ready to come back the moment we stepped out of the place. Can't recommend them enough!

I'd never been here before. Grabbed a menu at the front and ordered. Friendly staff. I got an americano and spinach egg sandwich in a bolo roll to go. They serve brekkie all day - yay! Americano was great & they put a little cinnamon in there for me as requested. The spinach egg bolo was juicy and tasty. Right amount of spinach. The bolo has a nice texture and sweetness. I'll definitely be back to try more sandwichs. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is very sticker heavy Portland art with some seating nooks. Outdoors has some simple seating and small tables. Cute spot.

I absolutely love sandwiches. And Lottie & Zula's is my absolute favorite place to grab one. The space is super cool and funky with awesome/chaotic art collabs all over the walls - which is the perfect backdrop for their eclectic mix of sandwiches. Every sandy on the menu feels like it's been created with love and maximized for flavor. I've had the Reuben and the Steak so far and can't decide which one is my favorite. The bread is fresh to death and they don't overload any ingredient - striking the perfect balance. They've got Pfriem on tap, plus potato salad, pasta salad and tons of flavors of chips. L&Z's is a must for sandwich lovers.

Yes to everything about this place!!!! This is easily the best sandwich I've had here in portland. I got the roast beef with the add ons and it's so good. It's pricey, but let me tell you everything about this place is worth it. Also no pictured is a small side of potato salad and that too was tasty. Overall I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back more.

A very charming eatery, very Portland. Dig the vinyl. Catchy menu. Person who took our order was friendly. The heralded compact breakfast sandwich was more than decent. The thick-cut flavorful sausage was very dense, hamburger-like. They serve them wrapped to go even if you decide to eat there. A minor turn off is that they charge for a tiny plastic container of hot sauce of what looks like Sriracha. Almost every sitdown/cart provides it complimentary, especially when dining in. The tart limeade definitely woke me up. Parking was easy on a Saturday morning when they first open.

First visit, had the Rueben. Cool vibe of an interior, stickers all over everything. Order at the counter was fine, and they brought it to our table. If you've had a Ruben, you've had this sandwich. I like rubens, so I liked this sandwich. If you want the meat to be thoroughly heated make sure you say before, they can't take it back to the kitchen.

Hubby and I were roadtripping and wanted to pick up some sandwiches for the road. I was SO amazed at how delicious the sandwich was! Food - I ordered a Reuben sandwich. The saurkraut and the pickles.. and the meat! So delicious and flavorful. I'm also not sure what kind of bread they used for this sandwich but it was also very delicious. Overall - I don't really crave a sandwich too much and was expecting something average and something to satisfy my hunger, but I ended up getting a mind blowing meal! Service - I called to place the order because we wanted to do take out since we had to stay on the road. They said it was going to be ready in 10 minute, we got there in 10 mins, and the sandwiches were ready to go. They also gave out free stickers! Environment - From what I know, there was only street parking. The interior of the place is super cool. I love the vibe and the art is really amazing. The bathroom was also very cool with the art! Overall - I was really glad I found this place and we checked it out! Would highly recommend if anyone out of state was craving a delicious sandwich.

I must have just had an accidental out of the norm mistake sandwich. I got the shredded steak with onions one (can't recall the actual name) and something inside was so burnt I couldn't eat it. The taste was just too bitter and the burnt whatever it was, was too intense. Which was a shame because I'm sure if that wasn't the case it would have been good! I added pickles for $1.00 and each one was nothing more than the outside skin of a pickle, so I'd probably skip those next time. I wanted to try the pasta salad, it looked amazing but was sold out. (Which means it is amazing) so I got the potato salad instead. That I wasn't a fan of. The dill was just too much and overpowered everything. (And I like dill) . I wouldn't mind giving them another try, just basing this score on my experience

Note to self: Love this place! Was in the neighborhood for a weekend swim meet, and lucked upon this place. Cool punk / eat the rich vibe. Awesome Push/Pull coffee. Gotta get a sandwich next time.

Just a great vibe in this Portland food spot. Super friendly folks and killer grub. So much on the walls to look at that you have to come back! Just take a look at the veggie Sando my love had. Picture is just of 1/2 the sandwich. Clearly enough for two people. I had the bfast sandwich and it was pretty good. Like others have said the bread is pretty weighty.

Great tasting meatball sandwich, but one meatball slice was much more cooked, and therefore much drier than the others. I removed it, and then the sandwich was perfect, but also diminished. As you might expect. I'm coming back because I think this was probably a blip.

I had the Allen sandwich and it was so good. Can't wait to come back and try others. Loved the sticker filled tables and chill scene and easy parking.

Cool decorations. Friendly service. Bread was good. Tastes good but extremely expensive for ratios of ingredients. A 9 dollar breakfast sandwich with bacon and one egg on an English muffin ? 22 for an Italian sandwich with barley anything on it. You just don't get what you pay for here. It does taste okay. But it's mostly bread. I wish it was better. And the constant gangster rap just gave me a migraine and out the good vibes out the window.

I was driving from Seattle to California and wanted a good sandwich for lunch so I researched sandwich spots near the I-5 before leaving Seattle and thank gosh I found this spot! I ordered online from my phone 30 mins outside town and it was ready for me when I arrived. I grabbed an 8" Ricky Italian grinder sub (add pickles) to save for the car and ended up also ordering a steamed English muffin breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and sausage- the sausage was home made, spicy and so flavorful! The interior was funky and cute - if I lived in Portland I'd frequent this place a lot!

Oh my gosh--where do I begin?!? This place is a sandwich joint that is serving up fresh flavorful food that is pretty unforgettable! My husband and I each got a sandwich so we could try 2 items! I had the special and he had the Italian! All of the meats and veggies were fresh and soooo good! Each flavor profile was unique...the Italian had the salty meat and cheese combination. There was a line almost the entire time we were there, and it seemed like as soon as a table opened up, someone was ready to scoop it up to enjoy their own meal. We waited about 20 minutes or so, but the music is loud, and there is plenty to take a look at on the table with all the stickers! We'll be back!

All my 9-year old daughter wanted was a good meatball sub! It seems everywhere has closed post covid . I came across this place and it did not disappoint! She absolutely loved her meatball sub and said it was the best she's had! I'm a sucker for a Reuben so how could I not! It takes a little while for the sandwiches to be assembled in the best kind of way. Just delicious! I love the amount of veggie in there and the sauce and pastrami were great! Bread was great! It's a super chill, "Portland" kind of place but kid friendly! (Maybe the music might be iffy for some kiddos!) It's a bit for out but totally worth the trip!

Best meatball sandwich I've had in years. Beautiful crispy roll, homemade meatballs, melted cheese, and a nice spicy marinara.

First thought? What tha hell is a Lottie and Zula's? Idk, but a coworker recommended I try these guys. Took one look at their website, salivated all over the pics, wiped my screen and said, "We're going here for lunch!" Here's the down low: ::: PARKING ::: Street parking. I did not see any Parking Kitty signs so we parked down the residential street nearby. An adjacent parking lot, across from Lotties, is a permit parking lot only. I wouldn't risk it. :::: SERVICE & DINING :::: No issues with service. The cashier dude was patient, but helpful as I took a lot of time deciding on which sammich to order. As for dining in, its really like a small cafe with only a few tables and plenty of stickers. Like a skate shop. Nothing fancy, but in general the dining area seemed fairly clean. ::::: N.E. GRINDERS ::::: "The #22" ($15) aka a Reuben with pastrami AND it's on marble rye! Its gotta be marble rye or it ain't a real Reuben. Kraut, Russian Island dressing, and melted Swiss cheese; GAWD it was love at first bite! And for the dill spear, they give you Bubbies. Gotta love Bubbies pickles! OH, and you know it's a good Reuben when you smell that toasted rye bread. "Operation Plunder Dome" ($18) aka the OPD, or simply their meatball sub. The six and eight inch subs were a few bucks cheaper, but I got the footlong, and shared the other half. This too was enjoyable! Marinara sauce, melted mozzarella and provolone cheese, ugh instant gratification! :::::: From L to Zula :::::: "L" for LOVE this shop! Love their sandwiches and subs and everything about them! I highly recommend giving them a try, even if you're not a local! It's a chill little shop with a $15 average sandwich price. There is one thing that stands out, and that's the record shop inside. Yes, they've got a little room filled with records, tapes, and CDs. A place to buy-sell-trade some vinyl. Which reminds me, I gotta get rid of some Blink182 crap. I'll be back!

I tried this place for the first time Tuesday with a friend and now it's Thursday and I'm back with my wife! I already want to come back again - the sandwiches are genuinely incredible and the space is so cool too, great music and friendly staff!

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING AND IT WAS DELIVERED!!! Like it was months ago that I tried their food but I remember the impression it left. 5 stars for sure!

I've come in here for quite a while and this is the third time I've asked for something simple. Today, I just didn't want hot lunch slices, toast it, sure. The response was, "Yeah that's too complicated we won't do that." What? Somehow not having to put it on the flat top, griddle it, and then serve it is too complicated? I've had this issue before when even reasonable requests won't be accommodated. The last issue was just trying to add pickles to a sandwich where I couldn't do that and had to have both the onions and hot sauce as well. It's outrageous, lazy, and what kills businesses with the competition in Portland. I'm done, never going back and, telling others how much I dislike it.

Kind of a bittersweet review. Got the Italian (Ricky) and it was perfect. Literally. Perfectly warm and crusty bread, delicious meats and lettuce, dang it was good. Was going to save half, didn't happen. The ambience was like if you took a sandwich and tattoo shop and smashed them together. Rad music, awesome artwork and just a cool vibe. Grunge vibe without the grime. The bad. I live in San Diego and it's a little far for lunch . Next time I'm in town I'm 100% coming back.

What GREAT, UNIQUE sandwiches & salads! My husband had the JON (beef with amazingly bright & delightful condiments) on marble rye. I had the JEFF - moist chicken sandwich with mayo, mustard, red onion, AND bacon for crunchy smokiness and cranberry for brightness (& pretty) on sourdough. Sandwiches were SO generous. We could only eat half! We are looking forward to NEXT visit....Travis, Carl, Vinny, etc. Ambiance was artful and funky. Hip hop was too loud for us but certainly energizing. Orders are made at a counter and delivered to the tables wrapped in butcher paper (appropriately). Some folks ate in many took out or ate just outside. This business is in the former Toro Brava space. Parking is a bit of a challenge.

WOW! First, the place itself: so open and clean. Cool art and stickers everywhere, you can tell it's just one of those places that help define a city (in this case, Portland, so you get the vibes). It's also connected to a little record shop, like extremely small in size which makes it all the more quaint, and there are so many other cool things along the walls for you to look at whilst you wait for your delicious sammiches. Also, bathroom has the same vibes. Clean and filled with stickers that'll make you chuckle as you wash your hands. The food: I love sandwiches. New Jerseyans pride ourselves on our fat deli sandwiches. These were AMAZING! Thoroughly impressed! I love a good meatball parm, reminds me of the Jersey Shore and all -- it was delicious. The sub was crunchy, the meatballs were huge and juicy, the cheese and sauce combo, perfection. Yet it PALED IN COMPARISON to the breakfast sando! The egg, the bacon, the SPINACH of all things, and BACON JAM? Who thought to put all these ingredients together into one sandwich and why does it taste so good? Will 100% return the next time we are in Portland. Wowowowow! Wish I had one of these sammiches right now.

First of all. The Al Bundy. Second of all. LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF MY AL BUNDY. Come here. I'm a sandwich snob and I am very happy here. Hope to be back!

8 inch was heavy heavy, huge sandwich. fitting for the price. house made sausage was super good, great spice blend. components paired really well. super friendly service and cool space.

This place is an institution. As someone who usually goes for a roast beef sandwich, I was intrigued by the Ricky since I wanted to experience something new. My goodness I can't even tell you the last time I bit into a sandwich that gave me immediate chills. I caught myself smiling the entire time I devoured my sandwich. It was perfectly balanced, the sharp bite of the giardiniera and the melty cheese was everything! And OMG, don't even get me started on the bread. Perfectly crusty but not hard at all! The shredded lettuce was cut to the perfect size, still had a nice crunch but not sad and soggy like other places. Though this sandwich would be amazing on it's own, I did accompany it with a bag of Zapps and a potato salad. Potato salad was not overly mayo-y and had a good amount of onion and dill flavor. Definitely want to come back and try their breakfast sandwiches at some point and of course their other grinders as well. 100/10 would recommend.

I have only ever had the breakfast sandwiches before which were fantastic, but today I just had the best sandwich ever. The 'Jeff' is so good oh my god, it's so tasty, the ingredients are so fresh, the bread is quality.The flavors mesh so well together, like the cranberry and red onions, oh my god!! To top it off, they have these house made chocolate chip cookies with a sprinkle of salt on top sosososo good when it's a little warm too They were super busy but service was quick and friendly. Always top notch when it comes to cleanliness

This place is awesome. Seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The people were friendly & the vibe is really cool. I want to go back to Portland for these sandwiches for real they're that good!

Today was the second time I've been here and It is just the most comforting sandwiches, best ingredients, prepared thoughtfully. I normally cook because I don't want a restaurant to disappoint me.. but this place I would trust with my first born If I wanted kids. That's how down bad I will rely on these sandwiches. Not to be dramatic. Ok so if you want 'simple' and not sure what to get first time: get the Al Bundy if you want the sexiest creamy version of a ham and grilled cheese. If you want a refreshing-savory-filling sandwich get the Ricotti (grinder) I'm from the south and I miss having sweet tea at a restaurant as the standard; so if you're going through sweet tea withdrawals, try theirs If y'all see me soon I'll be the gremlin ordering 2 sandwiches every time so I can have one for dinner ‍

This a really cool place! It's a sandwich spot that serves coffee, booze, and sells records! I bring friends who visit from out of town for two reasons. One, it's a cool Portland spot. Two, the breakfast sandwich on the BOLO - Portuguese muffin is unlike anything I've ever had. The bread has that sweetness you want added to your breakfast from a pancake, waffle, or muffin. They once had a bacon jam version, but the bacon or veggie are delicious. It's filling and satisfying! It's called the Buzzard's Bay. Try one.

Without a doubt, my favorite sandwich shop I have found yet in Portland and seven years they remind me very much of East Coast grinders

‍These sandwiches are top friggin tier!! ‍ We went for lunch today and I've already told everyone I know they have to make Lottie & Zula's a must try spot!! We arrived at 11:30 am for lunch, as I have read they get pretty busy. There were a handful of people waiting for their orders but there were still plenty of open tables. Around noon is when it really picked up! There was a little line and all the tables were full so I definitely suggest going a bit early. The restaurant is small but so freakin cool. There are stickers everywhere inside and the coolest little record corner. There is street parking and we didn't have any problem getting a spot right in front. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. We placed our order and were told about 15 min for our sandwiches. It seemed faster than that though. I ordered the Al Bundy. This was by far, hands down the best hot sandwich I have ever had. The mortadella was insanely flavorful... the onions were perfectly cooked and almost caramelized... the cheeses were ooey and gooey and the perfect combo... and the bread was toasted to perfection. The mustard was the zing it needed to not feel so heavy. The pastrami Reuben was great, a super delicious Reuben. The Russian dressing was flavorful, they didn't skimp on the kraut, and the pastrami was dynamite (flavorful and so tender). The underhill was definitely one of the best steak sandwiches I have ever tried and my partner devoured it. This sandwich had the perfect meat, cheese, veggie ration which made for perfect bites every bite. The bread was crunchy on the outside, but pillowy soft on the inside. It was truly the best vessel for the mix of ingredients. Lastly, we got the Jeff with a J, I did not try this sandwich but my friend thoroughly enjoined it and said more than once how delicious it was! Each sandwich was $15 dollars and I think that the sandwiches are well worth it. Every single sandwich was top notch. All in all, Lottie & Zulas has easily slid right into my top 5 favorite PDX food spots. I can't wait to try more! ‍

Generously portioned, tasty sandwiches! Highly recommend if you are in the mood for a hoagie like sandwich.

Drove by this shop numbers times & someone where were staying mentioned that it was really good so we decided to pop in. Very yummy sandwich's! I got Jeff with a J & husband got the ricotti Italian. I loved the sandwich, the flavors mixed together very well with a perfect sourdough bread. Hubby said he was good, a little in the spicy. Also got the vanilla chicory oat milk latte & it was super good. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Very good, generous sandwiches. Prices were fair and our server was very pleasant, friendly and accommodating. I had "jon" the beef sandwich. It was more than I could finish, but I'm looking forward to part 2. The garnishes were delicious and some were pleasantly unexpected (Chex mix for crunch, crispy fried onions shredded lettuce to name a few). My wife had "jeff" the sliced chicken sandwich. She was every bit as pleased as I was. Definitely recommend.

Went for the first time yesterday and it didn't disappoint. The staff was nice and helpful. The ambiance and the walls were great. Ohhh and the food. I hadn't even heard of this place before, but after finding in Yelp and seeing the pictures, I couldn't pass up.

I had the meatball sub, which was very good. If I return, I might ask if they can either smash the meatballs a little or slice them. I also wish there had been more red sauce, as that would have been fantastic. Finally, I wish the gal who made my sandwich had been wearing gloves. Overall it was very good.

Yum!! These sandwiches are seriously good. I want to try them all! So much flavor, and served fresh! I got the Underhill and thoroughly enjoyed it. The 6" sub was plenty to fill me up (pretty sure it was bigger than 6" even though that's what they label it as). The workers were super nice and I also thought the vibe inside was fun! I will definitely be back.

This place is the bomb! Absolutely one of the best sandwich places I've ever been to. These folks care and it shows. It has a cool vibe, great record store attached and delicious coffee, soda and sandwiches. Extra points for carrying Zappa Chips. Veggie friendly as well!

Wow! Best sandwich in Portland. Every sandwich I've tried has been delicious. Each sandwich is crafted with fresh ingredients & quality breads. I had the Moby on my first visit, the John.cock.toes on my second visit and recently had #22 pastrami Reuben. The John.cock.toes is my fave, the crisp fried onions add a special touch. If you're hungry and wanting a substantial sandwich they got you! I've introduced several friends to this sandwich shop and they are have all raved & loved it.

I wish I took a picture, but it smelled so good that I forgot to take one before going in on their sandwich.. but holy smokes was it good! (4.75/5 for the food): I was craving a sandwich after flying in from Cali, and I found this hole-in-the-wall on yelp. Like the other sandwich patrons that stopped by, I am glad I found this place. I ordered the Al Bundy and although it was a ~15min wait for the sandwich, it was well worth it. Double the cheese, grilled onions, and fried mortadella on a griddled sourdough knocked me off my feet! It reminded me of a well made grilled cheese mixed with all the necessity's to elevate it to another sandwich level: caramelized onions, and some high quality meat. Granted, it was a little oily from the fried mortadella, but the sandwich as a whole was top notch. Looking to try their Reuben next time I'm here. (5/5 for the service and ambiance): The homie over the counter taking the order was cool, gave off the standard vibes of someone working at a sandwich shop. I had a question or two on the sandwich, which he answered very laid back. In terms of the location I didn't eat in there but there was plenty of space during lunch time, and they also have outdoor seating. Additionally, don't forget to ask about their free stickers, they're dope! I will definitely be repping them out in the Bay. Also to give a shout-out: If you're into coffee and tea, check out Ca Phe down the block while you wait for your sandwich. I dropped by to grab a wake-me-up after my flight and their drinks will definitely wake you up.

Fun, tasty, creative sandwiches and friendly service. Fun atmosphere. I enjoyed the break from Emmanuel Hospital visits.
