Cafe Eleven — Restaurant in Portland

Am very upset! I just left Cafe 11 I ordered the nature's Way whatever sandwich on the picture it shows that the sandwich is made with an everything bagel! I ordered the sandwich and when she handed it to me in a foil wrap not even a nice wrap it was not the shape of a bagel! I asked what kind of bread is that because the picture shows a bagel she told me it was sourdough which I hate! And she told me that I needed to say specifically what kind of bread I wanted. I've never been there before and ordered food this was my first time so I didn't know that it was different from the picture that they show. Cafe 11 should be more specific in the food that they sale. And if it's not just like the picture they should ask what kind of bread you want and if I didn't want that kind of bread she should have remade me a sandwich with the kind of bread that I wanted if it wasn't on the picture!! Now I paid 12 dollars for a sandwich that I can't even eat 🤬 I would not recommend this place unless you're happy eating whatever you're served even if you don't like it, if your allergic, they clearly don' t...

My husband has a quick job around the corner and I stop in here while they work when we're out together in one car. The staff are so kind and considerate. The coffee is great. I haven't had food here yet, but there's a handful of people here as I type this and they're eating and drinking coffee and look very happy. There is an older couple at a table negotiating who is going to drive, a woman and her three or four year old silent in the corner by the bookshelf, two young women sitting close and smiling while they chat at the couch, two goth kids, three of the sort of entitled young people I expect to run into everywhere and politely nod at while reminding myself they're doing their best, and my disheveled and paint stained self. Diverse (for Portland), comfy, good seating... zero complaints. Perfect...

This cafe is a delight. I've only discovered this spot since restaurants have been closed for COVID, but I've gotten delivery from them through UberEats/Postmates at least a dozen times. The vegan bacon, spinach, tomato, and avocado sandwich is all I want to eat for breakfast! They use proper bagels that are locally made and have great texture, the salt and herb bagel is my personal favorite. They make a great oat milk late with really tasty espresso. They even tossed in a vegan cookie from a test batch with my most recent order with a note of everything that is in it which is just so thoughtful! (Also, the cookie was really tasty)

Cafe Eleven is a gem and I'm looking forward to visiting and eating in at the cafe once they are open...
