Food Carts Portland

Location: N Killingsworth and Greeley
The Story:
Portland always gets teased by a false spring in late February and early March. The sun is out, the air warms and the crocus bloom. We start wearing short sleeves and begin sitting out on the deck at the local bar. Then, without much notice, winter returns with a bang [...]

Location: SW 5th and Oak/Alder Parking Lot
Description:
The other day I was wandering around from pod to pod, trying to decide what to eat. I just couldn’t choose, so kept walking and enjoying the fall air and moisture. After checking out about 25 carts and pausing at a couple, I decided upon soup. It was a [...]

Location: N Williams at Shaver st.
Description:
North Williams street has become a new nexus of activity in North Portland. With in the influx of restaurants, salons, a dessert place and a brewery, it was only a matter of time before a food cart opened. And where it opened is important. The space where Che Cafe is [...]

Location: SW 5th and Yamhill
Description:
No Fish Go Fish is one of those great food cart success stories. The cart, on the corner of SW 5th and Yamhill has been at this location ever since I can remember, serving up unique soups daily, along with their signature No Fish sandwiches. The success story is that the [...]

Location: SW 9th and Alder (on Alder)
Description:
Sometimes, even during spring and summer, I want a nice warm soup. It has something to do with that feeling of your whole body warming up from the inside out. Add spice to the soup and I’m in heaven. In downtown, I have made an attempt to seek [...]

Location: SW Alder and 10th (between 10th and 11th)
Description: Soup for the masses! Soup for the Soul! There is something so primitively comforting to me about a hot steaming bowl of soup served alongside a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s what I want to eat when I feel  blue. It’s what inspires me and refuels me [...]

Location: SE 12th and Hawthorne “cart pod”
