Reviews for Ben & Esther's Vegan Jewish Deli in Portland, OR

I?ve now been here two out of my three days in Portland. This is by far my favorite new restaurant of my trip from California.... Their meats are superb and their sandwiches are fresh and the bread is awesome. I only had sandwiches while I was there. Read more

Food: amazing. Had the Ruben and the turkey club (tried to get the matzo ball soup but they were out). Just incredible - I... haven't had a Ruben since I gave up meat many years ago, and this one was just like what I remembered - delicious! Service: hadsome pretty rude service tbh - front counter was distracted and basically gave the impression she was annoyed I was there? My togo order also was just tossed onto the counter without a bag or anything, and at that point I didn't want to engage with thecrankiness further so I just grabbed everything and juggled it in my arms on my way home. Maybe it was an off day. Read more

Got the bacon, egg and cheese bagel. Delicious. Coffee was awesome too. All vegan. Limited street parking but I had no issues... at 8am. Few indoor seats if you want to sit and eat your food. Read more

The grand puba was so good and filling. The matza soup tasted homemade not overly salty at all. I haven?t tried the other... sandwiches but the grand puba is very big. Read more

Delicious Vegan... BLT with the bacon flavor done right (see bacon texture picture)! The marbled bread added a fresh flavor.... Extensive menu, will edit/update the post if I can find time in my travels to stop by again! ;-) it's a priority. Read more

Wow. The best vegan reuben I've eaten in Portland. Unfortunately no indoor seating right now now. But they at least got my order... out pretty quick considering they were busy - about 20 minutes after I ordered online. Read more

What an awesome find. Tried the plain bagels and potato knish and was so pleased. The bagels are made in-house and have a great... chew and are dense with great taste. The knish was delectable with a crispy pastry shell and sweet potato inside. So glad to seea line of customers. Read more
