Luncheonette

A quaint neighborhood spot with vintage vibes and a limited but thoughtful menu. It’s perfect for breakfast or a quick lunch. There are just a few small tables and a tiny counter for two or three, giving it a cozy, intimate feel. Everything is clearly made fresh and with care. On our visit, many of the hot items were already sold out, but what we did have was excellent. The potato salad was phenomenal and truly crave-worthy. The pork sandwich was also a solid choice. And then came the cinnamon roll. Ooey, gooey perfection. Do not leave without ordering one!

Luncheonette is one of those cozy, hidden gems that I don’t actually want to talk about; I want to drop by and get to sit at our fav table! And they have such cute little tables and the music/vibe is impeccable! Their hot plates, sandwiches, salads and desserts are all unbelievably delicious and comforting. We ordered their special, the roast pork sandwich and potato salad for lunch. We ended our meal with a slice of miso caramel apple pie and cranberry tart! The special was astonishingly good! Creamy scrambled eggs with smoked salmon topped with ikura was *chefs kiss*. It went so well with the refreshingly, tangy and herby salsa verde salad!! The handmade hash brown is hands down the BEST hash brown in Portland. It was so fluffy and light yet delightfully crispy. The sourdough bread and cranberry jam perfectly complemented everything else. 💯 The roast pork sandwich had this really tangy relish that paired soooo well with the pork and mozzarella!! The potato salad was also so delicious!!! We’re excited to try more of their salads!! The desserts were also super impressive. The tart and pie crusts were SOOO well done!!! Flavorful, flaky pie crust with tender apples 10/10 would eat it again!! And the raspberry tart??? We love a good tart!! p.s. we got the matcha buckwheat cake for a post dinner treat! We can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu!

Charming spot with warm hospitality and really tasty, thoughtfully made savory food + baked goods! Wonderful vegan options that are clearly labeled! Go check out what Angela and Alex are up to- you’ll be delighted!

Loved this spot!!!! Food was great and the owners who also make all the food and serve were incredibly kind, personable, and clearly passionate about their business. Went for lunch, and my table had a bunch of the salads, salmon rillettes, amazing blueberry pie, great tomato pie, and a perfect cinnamon roll. Everything was fresh, tasty, and thoughtfully made. Highly recommend!

It honestly pains me to give Luncheonette 3 stars. I was so excited for a casual lunch spot in this part of town. The food is delicious, and the ambiance, especially the outdoor patio, is great. But the portion-to-price ratio is pretty disappointing. We went with a friend and spent over $100 for the three of us: three sandwiches (one vegan), three “salads,” three coffees, and one shareable dessert. The pork sandwiches were tasty, but small for the price. And the salads… ouch. The portions were embarrassing. All three came out on one small plate, and each was maybe two bites max. They were $8 each… Maybe they are still figuring things out since they just opened, but it wasn’t a great first impression. To be fair, there were some real highlights. Service was excellent, the desserts (especially the cinnamon roll) were divine, and the unlimited coffee was great. Would we go back? Yes, for dessert and coffee. But not for lunch.
