This post is a roundup of my favorite breakfast sandwiches in Portland, OR. Breakfast sandwiches are the best of both worlds.

First up is the Belmont Breakfast sandwich from Tabor Bread. Fried egg, Olympia Provisions breakfast sausage, white cheddar, house-made chimichurri, garlic aioli, Mama Lil’s peppers, pickled red onions and Gorge greens on a freshly baked brioche bun. This was perfect, an elevated take on the breakfast sandwich. All the ingredients were delicious, high quality and the flavors all meshed brilliantly. I like that this one came with greens too, I wish more places did that.

Next up is the Breakfast Ciabatta from Better Half. 2 eggs with cheddar, sausage, bacon, a crispy hashbrown patty, avocado, and chipotle mayo on a ciabatta hoagie. This was perfect and is my ideal of what a breakfast sandwich is, can be, should be. There is a recent trend in town of people putting hashbrowns in the sandwich, which I’m all about. Also, why choose between bacon and sausage when you can have both?! Better Half is a sandwich shop in NE Portland that specializes in both breakfast and traditional lunch sandwiches.

Next up are two different breakfast sandwiches from Dawnbringer, a cart in NE Portland. The one on the left is the Twilight Tasty: Bacon AND sausage, scrambled egg, cheddar cheese and chili mayo. The one on the right is the Solar Sando: Corned beef hash, cabbage egg cake, swiss cheese and maple ketchup. Dawnbringer is great, this guy makes his own English muffins! His whole cart is all about breakfast sandwiches on his homemade muffins, which are incredible. Elevated ingredients, killer flavors, very crave-able.

Last up is the Boss Bunny from Chubby Bunny. Sausage, Bacon, Ham, Cheese, Onion, Potato Mitten (aka hash brown), Egg, Arugula, and Sriracha Mayo on an English Muffin. This is a vegan cart (they advertise as “secretly vegan”), so I guess I should put quotation marks around the meat and cheese ingredients. Besides the slightly misleading ingredient advertising, this is a solid breakfast sandwich offering, and the meat substitutes work well and form a tasty sandwich. Plus more hash browns!

I’ve been on both a breakfast sandwich AND breakfast burrito kick recently, that will be the next post. Until then, happy eating!
