Description

Harlow is a small chain vegetarian cafes in Portland, Oregon, known for its dairy- and gluten-free options.[1] [2] The original restaurant operates on Hawthorne Boulevard, in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood, and outposts are on 23rd Avenue in northwest Portland's Northwest District,[3] as well as Alberta Street in northeast Portland's Vernon neighborhood.[4]

Eater Portland has said the original and Northwest District locations have "homey, vintage-chic vibes" and plants.[5]

Menu

The menu includes bowls with steamed vegetables, wraps with jackfruit, lattes with turmeric, and shots of chlorophyll. Options for the Betty Bowl include grains like quinoa, avocado, beans, eggs, kale and other vegetables.[6] Sauces for bowls include avocado cilantro and jalapeño cashew.[7] The restaurant has also served a macaroni and "cheese", a veggie burger,[8] chipotle black bean chili, chanterelle and pumpkin soup with pepitas, as well as curry soup.[9] The "pasta" has zucchini "noodles" with carrot, spinach, and a sun-dried-tomato pesto.[10] Brunch options include mushroom scallion biscuits with tempeh gravy, and a spinach-kale scramble with chipotle cashew hollandaise. Some dishes include egg, which can be substituted with jackfruit or tempeh. Another scramble has pesto, and banana-oatmeal-walnut pancakes are also served for breakfast.[11] [12]

Harlow has offered two types of vegan hot chocolate; the classic version has bittersweet chocolate and coconut or hazelnut milk, and the red velvet variety has beet juice.[13] Shots of CBD can be added to juices, smoothies, and other "health elixirs".[14] Other drink options include mochas and hot toddys (with or without whisky).[15]

History

Britt Galloway and Karen Pride opened the original restaurant in 2013.[16] Prasad is considered a sibling establishment.[17] Adam and Jackie Sappington purchased Harlow (as well as Prasad) in 2018.[18] [19] A second location opened in the Northwest District in 2021, in a space previously occupied by Pizzicato.

By 2024, a third location had opened in Vernon. In March, Harlow announced plans to relocate the original cafe to Division Street, within Richmond, operating in the space previously occupied by Xico.[20]
