"A cinematic view of downtown Portland awaits from the top floor of this shipping container bar, food cart pod, and venue space in the Central Southeast area. Diners can take orders of fried chicken and waffles, wood-fired pizza, or Top Chef-featured Guyanese cuisine from the assorted food carts up to the shaded rooftop of the three-story bar to enjoy along with cocktails and beer from Portland and beyond. Looking west toward the downtown core and landmarks like Big Pink, it’s an especially good spot to watch the sunset or see the city lights at night." - Zoe Baillargeon

Probably the best food cart pod in Portland. Amazing ambiance and seating. Plenty of outdoor seating with heaters. A nice bar on the lower level with a good selection of beers. Cozy indoor seating on the middle level with sports playing on multiple televisions. The rooftop offers an amazing view of the Portland skyline. The food carts they have are amazing but could probably use a few more choices.. overall a food cart pod that you have to visit.

Forgot to post my experience from a few months ago. This food cart pod is a really cool place to hang out and eat. On a random weekend afternoon, I brought my Seattle friend here and we had a great time playing ping pong (their paddles suck though) and trying Guyanese food from one of the carts. I'm glad they have a mix of vegetarian and non veg options. Vibe was great - there were a lot of people and kids around which made it lively. We checked out the upstairs and noticed it's got great views of downtown and the industrial parts of the city. Will definitely be back And the artwork throughout the surrounding buildings looks great.

Stopped for food at "Bake on the Run" and "Honeycuspe". Both were delicious, but I'll be coming back for those waffles first and foremost. Wow. Unlike any other waffle I've ever had. Reminds me more of a crispy pie crust? The bar was well stocked and the bartender was very friendly. The indoor seating was nice and warm on a cold day, but had the same thing playing on all the TVs. Overall a cool spot with good food.

Wow, this place rocks. It's possibly my new favorite foodpod in Portland. Great selection of food carts to choose from, and they are all great. It has a nice mix of international cuisines. The venue has stacked shipping containers with the first floor as a bar, the second floor has lots of TVs, for all those sport enthusiasts and the top floor is a none covered patio with a beautiful view of downtown Portland. There is. Private balcony for those private dinners, a stage, ping-pong, basketball hoop, and lots of seating lightning. Easy to access from anywhere in town, lots of street parking, and the venue is nice and secure. Well worth the visit.

A fun food cart pod, nice variety of food carts. Thai food was fine (needed a bit more spice/flavour), Mexican food cart street tacos were pretty good. The wonderlove bar has a small tap list, with a few local craft beers, Kombucha, ciders and a non alcoholic beer on tap. Sunday bonus $5 pints of beer. Plenty of seating, covered tent, gas fire pit and roof top seating as well. Pretty fast service at the carts, on street parking.

This is such a great food cart pod! I recently discovered this place and now it's a new fav of mine! There are three levels to this food cart pod... The ground level has all of the food carts and plenty of outdoor seating. There are also many fun games to play with the family and an indoor bar as well. The second level is a heated indoor seating area with TVs for watching "the games" plus dogs are allowed inside! The third level is a ROOFTOP PATIO !!! It's an absolutely gorgeous spot to chill and enjoy the city views and one of my go-to's when I feel like soaking up some sunshine. If you haven't checked this place out yet... definitely DO!!!

Awesome, cozy spot to hang out. There is a great variety of foods with a decent selection of beers on tap. If you get cold, you can head to the second floor above the beer garden. I do enjoy that there is a basketball hoop, ping pong table, and corn hole boards. I the middle of the covered seating, you can find a fire pit. I didn't see any dogs but I did see a bowl with water so that leads me to believe that fur babies are welcome. I enjoyed this area and I think you will too!

I have to say that I really enjoyed this spot and the food choices are fantastic. I took away 1 star because the music on the upstairs deck was just too loud. Some groups of 4 people sitting alongside each other on the counter area. No way the person at the end could hear the person on the other end. Everyone there is having conversations - no need for the music to be so loud. The view is sweet. Great bar. I’ll be back to try more food..! Oh!!! Many VEGAN options!!!!

One of the best food cart pods in Portland I've visited. Brought a friend from out of town to visit a few weeks ago and it was pretty popping. Good amount of kids running around, lots of people chilling both downstairs and upstairs on their deck. Food options were great too. For vegetarians, there's a really good Guyanese food cart to try (Bake on the run). One of my fav features of this place is the artwork on the buildings. It was tough to stop taking photos. I took so many!!! The views from the upper deck is also real nice. You can see parts of Portland downtown and some of the lower industrial buildings. There's multiple seating options so it's easy to find a space. There's the main seating area with covered benches (useful for weather), an elevated seating area in the corner and an upstairs deck in the center structure. That's a couple of games for kids and adults alike like ping pong and corn hole. Bathrooms are pretty clean too. Really great place to hang out

Portland can never have enough food cart spaces, but this one goes the extra mile of being a concert venue and rooftop view. So many options with food from burgers, to pizza, to some unique mid eastern flare. All of the carts have buzzers to get your order so you can walk around while waiting. The bar on the first floor is also very quick to make orders, has a solid tap list, and bartenders are cool and fun to hang with. Concerts here are great and they seem to already have a steady lineup of shows planned. I came on a busier show that required a ticket and security. Everything went swimmingly and they were able to make plenty of space to dance. The music also plays inside so if you want the option of going to the 2nd floor chill area you can still hear the music there. Their lights are really fun and colorful too. I can't praise this cart collection enough and we'll keep coming back. Here's looking forward to more summer dance parties!

Thank you for creating this gem. What a great location, food offerings, amazing bar with real glassware, and interesting vibe! I love bringing friends and out of town guests here, and is the perfect size and location. I attended an evening event here as well - great stage and sound system. I've also always easily found street parking here too - another win. Portland is lucky to have this spot.

Adding this to one of my favorite food cart pods! Glad that Wonderlove opened up on this side of town. This one has a variety of food trucks to choose from. I got a carnitas quesadilla from one of the carts and it satisfied my cravings. Lots of seating everywhere! There is a also large 3-story structure with a bar on the ground floor (super friendly bartenders), additional seating with televisions showing an assortment of shows/movies/sports games on the second floor, and a rooftop with great views of the city! I especially love that there is a ton to do in this small pod to keep everyone busy (ping pong table, a half-court basketball, jumbo Jenga blocks). And I definitely appreciated the huge jug of drinking water with cups available because we went on a hot day. Overall, a great place to bring family, friends, and pets!

This is a neat little food cart pod out in inner SE. The place is well designed with an area for kids to play as well as covered seating area. There is also a bar and rooftop available to enjoy. The rooftop has a nice view of the area. There's a small middle floor that you can also sit and enjoy your meal. We ordered a few drinks from the bar and took our time enjoying it.

A new food cart pod in town. Very colorfully painted, bringing a fun ambience to the space. A few tasty looking carts around with lots of big bench seatings. Got a drink from the bar and it's delicious and refreshing. There are also rooftop area which is perfect for the summer and some AC spaces as well.

What a fun place to hang out, one of my friends called it an adult playground. They have basketball, cornhole, a stage for music and table tennis. Two separate rooftops to hang out in and an inside area on the second floor to eat. One of my favorite food trucks has moved here with Guyanese food. Definitely worth popping in to check out!

What a beautiful location and great selection of food carts! The bar is neat also with friendly bartenders and tasty drinks. Tucked in the industrial area that we happened upon and it is a gem in the area.

Cool cart pod in the warehouse area near Morrison bridge. I liked Ali's hot chicken and Bake on the Run is on my list but there were several others that looked good as well I will be back for. They have a concert stage (even have some raves there sometimes), a bar, ping pong & foosball table, cornhole, a roof patio & plenty of outdoor covered tables, and even a basketball hoop lol.

Seeing this place a year ago and the development now, like night and day. I see the vision however I don't think it was fully executed well. A ball court, a stage, a bar. If the space was bigger yess. But it feels so congested and the aesthetic feels so forced. I haven't been to the bar yet but it's cute at night.

I brought 9 out of town guests to WonderLove on a Sunday afternoon August 11th. There was Plenty of seating outside & upstairs. We sat in the middle deck (no one bussed tables in a long while) it has many TV screens that we had to turn on. sound system was not on either. They Must be short handed. As for the food, I enjoyed the Hawaiian poke sushi, a few raved about the Mexican food & it seemed all were happy with food choices. Unfortunately Everyone had the same unpleasant experience with the woman bartender. Even after good tips, she was Unfriendly, irritated with life, never smiled, and not one thank you. Replace her with some friendly younger faces & the spot will do great!

If you have kids and want to play with them while having a beer and good food, this is the place to go. My son had a blast with the basketballs and corn hole. And my husband and I had a blast with their beers. I can't wait to come back and try all the food trucks. The waffle truck looks delicious. Not sure what they are going to do in the rainy season, but this is the perfect spot for summer!

Red headed female bartender was not friendly at all, poor attitude. Not sure why she is in the service industry. Felt like we were bothering her trying to order a drink. She's Definitely not a vibe. Ruined our first experience here. Disappointing.

Great food and even better people! The rooftop DJ is a wonderful way to experience PDX! Excited to see more from Wonderlove!

I went to the Pizza truck today and had a great experience. The pizza has a thin, crispy crust and there are plenty of delicious toppings. The bar at this pod isn't open yet but the truck had several beer and cider options as well as multiple N/A cocktails and sodas. We were there in the hottest part of the day but it was still comfortable under the umbrellas. I can't wait to come back when they are fully open which should be happening in early July.

The ambience, the service and the drinks the ambience, the service the food cart. People are in the food cart serving the food making the food. Everybody was great. they have lots of activities for kids and family to do. It's very family oriented and I love it.

Absolutely love this place. We got drinks first and then got small items from different food carts. The drinks and food was all amazing. Next time we're going to invite our friends to come hang if they can make it and maybe shoot some hoops and hang out on the roof top.

Great location and vibes! They have a very good selection of food carts and the cocktails are amazing. I highly recommend grabbing a Gold Rush and relaxing on the rooftop that has a nice view of the West Side. The staff is friendly and welcoming.
