We had a great tour with Herb! We only had one day in Portland and this was the perfect way to explore the city. Everything we tasted was delicious. Most of it was stuff we wouldn’t have thought to order on our own so this was the perfect way to try new things. The portions were huge so come hungry because you’ll leave full!
So much to learn, and some amazing things to taste!
We LOVED learning about the history of coffee (and Portland's role in the evolution of it) from Evangel! We were super full and satisfied by the end of the tour, and we learned so much. Evangel was knowledgable, friendly, and open to questions.
Wonderful tour with Herb of the food carts. The selection (variety, portions, deliciousness) was very nicely done and Herb was extraordinarily imaginative and thoughtful about accommodating diverse tastebuds and preferences. Very kind, very knowledgeable, passionate about food and Portland - just a pleasure to hang out with him!! Will definite book another Lost Plate Tour when we return to Portland.
Went on the Coffee & Donut tour. I learned so much, enjoyed the food and beverages and got to chat with great people. Mind expanding! I fell in love with Portland, and realized that I never liked donuts because I hadn't had a good one, which the tour changed. Couldn't have asked for more.
Herb was a fantastic host. He was knowledgeable of the area, made sure items were ready before we arrived to each location. He knew all of the owners at the food carts and had a rapport with them. He was a very accommodating host. Me and my daughter really enjoyed our tour. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who is in the area. Thank you!

Thank you, Cynthia, for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the food options and appreciated Herb's knowledge. It's wonderful to know it was a great experience for kid too. Your feedback means a lot to us!
We did the food cart tour, six of us, and hit fabulous food carts in four different areas. Our tour guide Herb was amazing, informational from a historical and food aspect, and sincerely engaged us during the walking portions, answering questions, providing city history and a feel for the neighborhood. Hitting "Flanders" St. meant something different after the tour.
Herb was a great host who knew loads about the city's food scene. A must do tour when in Portland to learn about the city through food. we ended up staying past hours to chat to the other guests as the vibes were spot on! thanks for a great day Herb.

Don’t Sleep on Portlands Food Carts!
We spent a pleasant rainy day (thank you for not canceling due to the weather) with Herb. He educated us on the various cuisines of Portland while serving up fabulous dishes, each made with seasonal ingredients and lots of pride! I appreciated the variation of international fare, (Mexican, Birman, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and American) which gave me a chance to try many items that I would have otherwise overlooked. Well done Herb!
An engaging tour with delicious stops at both familiar and out of the way places! A great variety of both coffee and sweet treats
