Elephant's Deli offers a sit-down and to-go location with grilled sandwiches , soups , salads , and rotating entrees. Also featuring several gluten-free dairy-free, and vegan options .
One of the few airport eating establishments I actually look forward to visiting. Great variety and quality, you really can't go wrong with it.
Best coffee in PDX by far. Strong, full-bodied with moderate acidity and a generous crema made on a La Marzocco machine. The food is good and reasonably priced for an airport . Try the croque monsieur .
Everything is so good. The veggie frittata is very tasty
I especially like the winter squash and pear soup ! The coffee is always excellent.
They have a case featuring meal items packaged in such a way that they will pass through security, even tasty salads with dressing .
Just finished some Indian spice lentil soup (not sure of the correct name of this Dahl ), but omgoodness, it was wonderful!

My daughter and son in-law missed their flight with multiple connections to Peru. They were helped by a United Agent. His help was invaluable and they did not miss any of their connecting flights. - Tracey Bishop
Great food and coffee. Comfortable atmosphere. No WiFi, and can be crowded. - Marcia D
Pancakes are fantastic. Breakfast skillet too -- have it with asiago cheese. Garlicky and so filling. - Diana Leonard
The self help section has some pretty humorous books. Park in the garage instead of on the street. - Spring Atkinson
