Portland is the Alex P. Keaton of vegan cities.
 
Sweet, dude. This is close to where I work.
 
Has anyone been there yet? What do they have...sandwiches, salads, any desserts?
 
I went there for lunch today. Mostly wraps and noodle dishes, plus a few sandwiches. Lots of "marinated soy protein" and various sauces. The prices are pretty reasonable at around $5-$7.

I had one of the wraps and it was decent, but not great. I'll probably go back to try one of the noodle dishes.
 
I was there for lunch as well - finally, something close to the 'beav that I can eat at during my lunch break. I talked with someone that worked there and she said almost everything is vegan with the exception of some noodle dishes. Nice, clean place with friendly people behind the counter. Definately go if you can stand the suburban shopping mall vibe.
 
Oh sweet Jesus, could it be any farther away???
 
My family and I went the day after they opened.

The noodle and the soup dishes we had were phenomenal. The cooked quality and freshness of the vegetables was superb, and the were not sparse with the various tofu fake meats.

The wrap I had was good/fine, but the noodle dishes were much better.

As a side note, they have very nice plates/bowls for a strip mall store. The dinner ware seemed oddly too nice.

I certainly hope they prosper (close to our home). I spoke to one of the cooks and they have been doing a business as a vegetarian catering business previous to this. I only wish that they were a sit down restaurant.

At least on the day that I ate there, that was the best vegetarian restaurant food that I have had in Portland since moving here (1 year ago).
 
To the person who thought it was too far away... that is how all of us vegans in Beaverton feel about all the fine veg friendly places in Portland! We are thrilled to have Sweet Lemon so close to us!
