Amazing

My favorite spot in town. Always wind up getting the jerk and/or peanut sate tofu bowls, but their sandwiches are delicious too. Good bar and cozy vibes inside as well. I recommend this place to everyone I talk to about the best PDX vegan spots. #Veganuary

Best Mac!

The mac & cheez here is probably the best vegan restaurant mac I have ever had. It’s a beer cheese with a peppery bite, so not your “traditional” cheese sauce. But man is it good! Portions are huge and prices are reasonable. A great spot!

Better drinks

The drinks are really fun, I didn’t like the Mac n cheese as much since it was dry nor the pretzels since it was small for the price

Great food and friendly staff

Stopped here for a cocktail and had a bahn mi. Both were exceptional. Will definitely be back on my next trip to Portland.

Get the pretzel buns!

We had a great dinner here during our vacation to Portland.
We aren’t drinkers (alcohol), but we’re both able to get great mocktails that we’re really good.
For dinner we started with the Pretzel Buns. They were soooo good! We highly recommend them! The two sauces they came with were excellent!
For meals we got a kale caesar salad (which was huge-we for got to take a pic) and the Mac n cheese. Both were good. Just to note for the Mac n cheese: it has a Smokey flavor to it, I know some people like that and some people don’t.

Consistently very good

From bowls to sandwiches to breakfast burritos, the food is consistently very good! I’ve been visiting since 2015 and will always recommend it.

S Tier Portland hub

The bowls and sandwiches are all excellent. The specials are fun. And it's in one of the coolest parts of the city.
At 20 bucks for a meal and a drink, it's pretty costly but worth it.

Pros: Great food , Jerk Bowl, Big tables

Cons: Expensive

Late night vegan eats

Like all good vegan places, be prepared for a wait. Plant-based food takes time!

Food was amazing! We didn’t love ordering at the bar and hard to find seating! However, it is open late which was great and vegan Banh Mi and Buffalo chikn were awesome!

Pros: Delish

Cons: Wait

Great food and atmosphere

The Mac and Cheese was the best I've ever had and a very generous portion that I struggled to finish! It was also great fun in there, nice relaxed atmosphere for having a few drinks too (making it easy to spend a few hours!)

Perfect Vibes.

I love a casual atmosphere that takes pride in itself still being THE SPOT. I love the big patio and the hereafter cocktail. I have loved all the food I’ve had.

Grilled Cheese Achieved

Stopped for a quick late night bite and had the grilled cheese (Violife) with the basil pesto add-on and a side of chips (house-made?) and salsa.

The sandwich was very nice (the pesto was worth the extra charge), and priced right. The chips were excellent, too.

Appreciated the availability of a half-pour on my beer...exactly as much as I wanted, for $3.

Sightly disappointed I couldn't try the mac and cheese (limited menu at the time), so will have to go back!

EDIT:
I've since had the mac and cheese (w/ pesto) and the jerk tofu bowl. The bowl was well seasoned and satisfying, with tart-spicy braised or baked tofu. The mac is excellent, far better than nearly any I've had. My honest, omnivorous, choosy dining partner really liked both.

Pros: One of the best vegan macs in town, Grilled cheese is priced to compete

A must in Portland

Food is amazing and hit the spot, got the Italian grinder and giant kale salad and want to try everything else on the menu. Very nice staff. Three types of seating for variety--outdoor by street, indoor/outdoor back patio, and indoor at the bar or tables. We brought our 1.5 year old and the back patio was perfect, we had lots of space to keep him from bothering anyone.

Best meal I’ve had in Portland

Hands down, Sweet Hereafter was the best meal we had during our trip to Portland. The laid back ambiance, food, and drink options were all fantastic. The mac and cheese was the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had - and I make it a point to try every vegan mac and cheese option I can. I can’t wait until I can come back here again next time we are in Portland!

Pros: Extensive drink menu , Fun, laid back atmosphere , The macaroni and cheese!!

Terrific food!

My biggest complaint was how difficult it was to decide what to order! Fortunately the staff is very friendly and they helped me choose a dish to satisfy my hunger.

I apologize that I can’t remember the name of this dish but I assure it was delicious and filling (you can’t see the brown rice and beans hiding under the tofu and peanut sauce. I washed it down with an Ecliptic peach sour.

Great Food + Atmosphere

We stopped in this week and sat outside in the bamboo surrounded courtyard. They have an excellent selection of beer and the food was fantastic. We shared pretzels and a bean shitake spread. Both were delicious. Their "chicken" sandwich was amazing though. So crispy and the cajun aioli was to die for! We will definitely return!

Pros: All vegan!, Lots of choices, Well priced

So good and open late!

Was so happy to find a vegan place with later hours when it seemed like everyone else closed early! Had some INCREDIBLE tequila shots and grilled cheese here

Amazing vegan food + great cocktails

This my wife and I’s go to for date night or date lunch. It’s all vegan which immediately makes me happy to give them my money. Ban mi and buffalo sub are amazing and the Cesar kale salad is insane.

If you’re vegan and you want one of the best spots in Portland check out sweet hereafter. Thanks guys for always providing such great food and a great atmosphere.

Note: I’ve take many meat eaters to this place and they said the buffalo sub is incredible.

The Savory Hereafter

I ordered the Eastern Bowl with soy curls. Despite the description, I don't think the ginger peanut sauce is spicy, and I have a very low tolerance. The bowl is simple, but tasty. My only complaint is the broccoli should be cut into smaller pieces.

Pros: all vegan

Cons: noisy
