Absolutely delicious, I can’t believe I’ve never tried them, but I will definitely be back. The absolute best vegan mac and cheese and its also gluten free! Everything was super flavorful and I loved the pumpkin brownie.

Vegan comfort food spot with large portions. I ordered a white bean chili bowl for takeout and was surprised by how large portions my bowl was and how tasty. Their winter squash bisque also hits the right spot and they let me sample before buying.

They excel at their savory bowls and soups, though also have a small selection of vegan desserts. I'll likely stick to their savory items since that's more of my style.

It's a quiet spot in a quiet neighborhood but the locals know to come here.

General there's no wait. The place is tiny and run by a small crew so it can take a little time to get your food. But when you get your food, it's so worth it

We visited Tiny Moreso yesterday with my 4-year-old son, and Kyle made us one of the best bowls I've ever eaten. The portion was so generous that I took half home and had it for lunch the next day, and it still tasted incredibly fresh (which almost never happens with leftover bowls!).

Walking in, we were greeted by Kyle with the Smile, who was sweet, approachable, and so patient with us as we took our time deciding on which dessert to have, which took a minute because the pastry case is dangerously tempting.

We've been fans of Tiny Moreso since 2021, when we'd get their fresh juices served in glass jars that we could return on our next visit. Yesterday we also tried a lemon cookie with icing that was absolutely amazing, the perfect sweet finish.

What makes this place truly special is that it's 100% vegan and gluten-free, yet there's zero compromise on flavor. I know one reviewer mentioned small portions, but I found mine incredibly satisfying, and the care that goes into every dish more than justifies the cost. You're supporting a woman-owned local business that prioritizes sustainable practices and creates a genuine bright spot in the community.

If you're in NE Portland, do yourself a favor and stop by.

My partner, our best friend, and I had the absolute pleasure of having lunch at Tiny Moreso Cafe and Treat Shop today. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with such warmth and genuine kindness.

The staff were incredibly friendly and so helpful with our order. The food was absolutely delicious, and the treats were just divine—the perfect ending to our meal.

If you're in Portland, you have to stop by Tiny Moreso. It’s a wonderful place with a welcoming atmosphere, fantastic food, and the best people working there. We're already planning our next visit!

I love a lot of different types of food but dishes loaded with a variation of veggies is what I want a lot of the time. I ordered takeout from here for dinner - a bowl, salad, PB cheesecake cookie and a matcha cheesecake slice and everything was lovely. The seeds in the salad were a little on the overly sweet side but I loved everything else about it and the yam chili bowl was very good and made me want to try a bunch of their other bowls. Desserts were excellent too, of course.

Everything on the menu is 100% vegan, gluten free and delicious. As someone who is both gluten-intolerant (celiac) and vegan, this place is a gem in NE Portland.

We usually come for lunch in the small cafe (or eat outside) and take treats like amazing vegan cheesecake home for dessert later.

As a vegan and lover of mac and cheese, I can confidently say that Tiny Moreso has THE BEST vegan mac and cheese. How do I know this? Because I’ve tried every other option. Vegan restaurants that claim to have the best mac and cheese? Tried it. Make at home recipes? Tried it. Boxed options from the grocery store? Tried it. I’ve probably spent hundreds of dollars looking for the unicorn of vegan mac and cheese, and had not been convinced of its existence until I tried Tiny Moreso’s broccoli Mac. You can’t tell by looking at it or tasting it, but it’s also gluten free and very reasonably priced. It comes as a mega portion that will probably provide at least two meals. If you don’t like broccoli, try the Moreso mac that comes with bbq flavored soy curls instead. Either way, you’re in for a treat. You can celebrate this find with one of over 20 amazing flavors of vegan cheesecake slices or one of their other amazing desserts. I’m partial to their giant samoas. And… it’s all vegan and gluten free! Just don’t buy ALL the Samoas 😁

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ If you're looking for a place that truly nourishes your body and delights your taste buds, look no further! Tiny Moreso Café has a salad which is simply divine, a fantastic blend of fresh vegetables, pineapple and crunchy nuts, especially the cashews. Plus, you get to choose between crisp greens or hearty kale, which is a great option. I thoroughly enjoyed the 13 bean soup today it was so flavorful and satisfying. And even with the warm weather, their wellness hot toddy was surprisingly refreshing and made me feel great. This is our go to spot for family meals, and we can't recommend it enough. It's the perfect place when your body craves high quality, delicious nutrition!

REALLY GOOD vegan food. Pastries and cookies also really good. Healthy bowls and salads. I live nearby, and it's hard not to go everyday Only slight annoyance is the slowness in service, and once when I showed up to pick up my order that was marked as ready, they hadn't even made it yet. I'm assuming these are just from the newness of the place, and the customer experience will improve with time. Overall, great spot, haven't had a bad meal after months of going. Super happy they opened!

Yum! My meal was so tasty I devoured it before I could even think to take a picture! I got the bakon brussles grilled cheese and omg! Literally the perfect combination of flavors, I was in heaven. It came with a little salad that I didn’t expect but was pleasantly surprised. The soup of the day was French onion and it was mouth wateringly delicious! Highly recommend, I’ll be back soon 🤤
