This cozy, unpretentious spot is definitely in the running for some of Portland's best sandwiches. (The breakfast burrito is excellent, too.) The inventive combos include grilled green beans with bacon relish and soft-boiled egg, and a killer pork meatball marinara. There are also soups, salads, cookies and desserts available. Seasonal specials are always a good bet.
