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

Best bagels in Portland? In my experience, yes! I had the veggie sandwich with bakon yesterday and loved everything about it.

Best Reuben sandwich I?ve ever had AND it?s VEGAN! We almost kept walking by this place and I?m so glad something told us to go... take a peek at the menu. If we had more time in Portland, we?d have eaten here a few more times. Read more

The turkey bacon club is AMAZING! Definitely in the top three best vegan sandwiches I've ever had. Great flavor, and the bread... is so buttery & delicious. Highly recommend! Read more

Loved this corner deli! We enjoyed the Ruben, New Yorker, Egg & Cheese on Bagel, and the Turkey Club. All vegan meats grilled... along with the bread to make such tasty sandwiches. The bagel and schmear flavor combinations are awesome! Definitely ahighlight of vegan Portland dining - our family loved it! Read more

This was hands down the BEST place I ate at during my entire trip to Portland. I can't get over it. I ordered a simple bagel... sandwich and it was seriously the best food I've ever tasted. My partner's sandwich was also amazing. The pastries were perfect.I'm devastated I wasn't able to go one more time before I left. I'll never be able to move on. Read more

I was won over by this place after my first visit. I am not a vegan by any stretch, but the food here is just good, plain and... simple. Read more

I'm not vegan but I am a New York Jewish Deli aficionado and this definitely hits the spot. The matzah balls are more like... kreplach but I'm not mad about it. Good portion sizes, and they have Dr. Brown's soda. Next time I want to try the knish andhamantashen. Read more

Was excited to see this come to the neighborhood, and just got a chance to try it! As an NYC resident of almost a decade, wasn?t... sure how a vegan reuben would hold up to its OG counterpart, but I?m pleasantly surprised! I did find it interesting that theypresent their menu as vegan with the normal ingredient names; as a non-vegan, I would love to know what?s in it! Either way,will definitely be back to try their bagels and see if they outdo Spielman?s ???? Read more
