I came here on my birthday as an impromptu visit. I was incredibly impressed on every aspect, atmosphere, cleanliness, presentation, variety of foods, and service.I decided to grab some cookies from the Bakery, they were absolutely incredible and so moist. I adore that all the allergies are listed.I sat at the gorgeous bar after, and I ordered a fog and prosciutto pizza. The bartender was charming and kind enough to bring me my food when it was ready. His mixology skills were impeccable and rather entertaining to watch.I will absolutely come back and try everything on the menu as I'm sure I'll be pleasantly happy by anything I order.Dietary restrictions: All allergens are clearly labeled.

Tomato Orange soup was unique and great tasting. Chili con Queso Breakfast Burrito was so good as well. Well worth the drive.

Always excellent! This place is legendary for good reason. Outstanding food and service. Even when busy there’s never a long wait and there’s ample seating. 10/10

Had a VERY legit bacon cheeseburger and pub fries here. It's a little confusing, a little loud, but the folks who work here clearly love their work.Vegetarian options: There's salads, soups, Mac and cheese, and other veggie optionsKid-friendliness: Unfortunately, there are plenty of people with kids here.

This place could write a book on how to tell a vegan they don’t want our business without explicitly telling us they don’t want our business. Today they were out of the ingredients to make the one salad they have that’s listed as vegan. I suggest trying somewhere else if you’re looking for plant-based options.

Something about the staff. Even possibly management. That makes you feel judged and unwelcome and uncomfortable. Weird. Said I wasn’t gonna return because of this but the food is good.

Elephants Delicatessen is the perfect place to eat something hearty and delicious and have a great coffee at the same time! Couldn’t recommend it enough!
This is our second time ordering take out. We’ve been underwhelmed both times. The tuna does not have onion which I appreciate. The reuben sandwich was cold and the pastrami was extra fatty. The mama Leon’s soup said “cream” but it was definitely coconut milk which gives food a very different taste. I feel like this place is trying to offer deli food, but is really missing the mark. We will not return.

A true Portland staple. I've been eating here for over 20 years and it seems to only get better. High quality food, super friendly staff, and an amazing and unique interior/atmosphere.

Really great place to grab a sandwich. I haven’t tried the rest of the different foods but they all looked very good. Atmosphere gets a three because it’s oddly chaotic in there, dodging people the whole time.Super good, you won’t need disappointed.

I just discovered the elephants in Cedar Hills about a month ago. It has been my go to place for lunch ever since. I recently went for lunch with a friend and ordered a Ruben to go for my husband. After I got home I realized I had left it on the table. I called back to see if they still had it. The gal on the phone immediately said they would happily make me a new one at no cost. She came back and said they found it. When I went back to pick it up the lady was offering me a free cookie. The nicest people work there. I’m telling everybody I know how good everything is and how nice all their employees are. If you haven’t been there give it a try. ❤️

Very busy and well attended. Some nice boutique with some great international foods. Pricey place.
