Ben & Esther's Vegan Delicatessen

I had the Ruben and it was excellent. The sides were also good. No kids menu, but plain hot dogs will do. The smoothie place next door was not good (do not recommend). Very limited seating.

2nd time here in a week - and all for the Reubens. Excellently made. We have marked this place as a favorite when in San Diego. And are looking forward to trying the Portland one soon.

I had the Egg + Cheese + Bacon on an Onion bagel. It was really good! Definitely the best vegan bacon I've had by far, highly recommend it if you're looking for a quick meal.

This was my first visit to this Deli. I ordered the New Yorker. I was impressed with the flavor and texture of the corned beef. The rye bread was very fresh. I wanted to buy bagels and they gave me some as it was late in the day. The bagels are delicious. I want to return and try everything. Incredible to have all this deli food and it is all vegan.

Love the bacon, egg and cheese bagel. and the jammers are to die for!

We tried and loved: BLT + avocado - large, but so tasty we finished it all! Classic reuben- also large. Great flavor. Excellent! Bennie's Brisket - Amazing! So tasty. Loaded with filling. Huge. We also got bagels (everything and sesame) and cream cheese to go. The cream cheese was very good. The bagels were a bit disappointing - not chewy or flavorful. They'd be great as a sandwich, but I was surprised they were not better. Overall, we'd certainly return for sandwiches!

Vegan almost 8 years and have a non vegan partner we both adore this place. Food is great no complaints!! Super happy to support a vegan Jewish deli 💕

Pretty friendly service. Potato salad was surprisingly pretty good. I went for the Ruben, as it seems to be vegan eatery common sandwich, to compare to others I’ve had. As a stand alone sandwich, it was pretty good but this wasn’t close to the top Ruben I’ve had. Still pretty good sandwich!

I had the best Vegan breakfast bagel of my life here. The Vegan bacon fooled me and it was really a treat (that anyone would love) and the Latke was the perfect compliment to the bagel sandwich. We will be back 3 mornings in a row while visiting Portland on a Vegan food extravaganza.❤️
