Okay, so this is the GREATEST hack when ordering Portia's Tofu Gyro. Ask for BOTH extra #tofu and extra housemade gyro sauce. You will not be sorry. This is my favorite wrap on the menu. It is just so yummy and has all my favorite flavors. This wrap had #organic and #locallysourced ingredients like lettuce and tomato, peppers, onions and Portia's "chicken" tofu. I also love her housemade #glutenfree wraps. They are my favorite and so soft. The gyro sauce is made from sunflower seeds and is so creamy and great for those with nut allergies! I highly recommend it. It's filling and loaded with #protein and a great price for $12 #femaleowned #singluten #vegan #veganmeat #palmoilfree #eattherainbow

This is such a great summer dish! It's so filling and being from Portia's it's both #healthy and #glutenfree. I think next time I will add tofu for more protein! This bowl has brown rice, olives, peppers, carrots, onion, black beans, cabbage and #kale pesto. It was delicious and so fresh. It's also topped with a really delicious vinegar style dressing. I really liked how fresh it was and the flavors were fantastic. It was also a very large portion size for $14 #eattherainbow #veganisnotscary #govegan ##ditchdairy #organic #organico #abillionlove

Even though it was the last day of May it was chilly all day long, and especially since we were eating outside (we had Ollie) something warm sounded good. We originally were going to order a different type of #curry but they had this on special so we tried this instead. I was very surprised at how much I liked this. It had a lot of flavor and I loved the rich potatoes. It also had black beans, peas, and wild rice. It was fantastic comfort food. Everything at Portia's is mostly #organic and everything is #glutenfree #veganisnotscary #abillionlove #govegan #ditchdairy #recyclable #beans #protein

"Cheesy tofu egg on a bed of lettuce, roasted potatoes, black beans, fresh salsa, and topped with guacamole, sour cream, coconut bacon." This dish was hearty and filling. The tofu had a nice consistency and flavor. Only complaint is that it was a little wet - it was swimming in water from all the fresh food (possibly the salsa was a little runny?) #tofu #tofulover #veganbreakfast #veganrestaurant #columbusohio #vegancolumbus

I love a good #englishmuffin with butter and jam, but this #glutenfree version was a little odd. Great flavor, but an odd texture - extremely dense as opposed to normally fluffy bread. Not sure I'd get it again #veganrestaurant #columbusohio #vegancolumbus

The #Tofu Gyro is my FAVORITE dish at Portia's Cafe. I literally crave it. Portia's is so great about substitutions and additions, and they are really conscious of customer food intolerances. I highly recommend adding olivies to this wrap. They are the perfect additon. This housemade #glutenfree wrap is packed with their signature #gyro tofu locally sourced tomatoes and lettuce, onion and pickles. Everything is covered in housemade #Tzatziki sauce made from sunflowers. It has so much flavor and it is without a doubt the healthiest vegan gyro in Columbus. Portia's also uses mostly organic and locally sourced produce! #veganfortheanimals #abillion #ditchdairy #womenowned ##veganisnotscary

Guess what? I'm going to be doing some work for Portia's Clintonville Natural Foods Store 📷 which means more Portia's food!! YES! Portia's has some of my favorite healthy food in Columbus. It's super healthy, #glutenfree and #organic. Most of the produce used is also grown locally, which is an added bonus. This was a good $4 side dish. It has potatoes smothered in a housemade creamy dressing with shaved carrots, cabbage and local sprouts. It was really flavorful. I like potato salad that has a creamyness but still more on the vinegarette side. The added veggies were also a nice touch and added some crunch to the dish. #veganfortheanimals #abillionlove #veganprotein #potatolover #yummy

This Yum Yum burger is fantastic, and I love the name! I can't believe it took me so long to try it. It was actually a menu item from the diner. But when the diner closed, they brought it to the cafe, but it's only available on Tuesdays and there's a limited amount. So, this literally takes like a cheeseburger. The patty is made from sunflower seeds and veggies. And it's actually wrapped in one of Portia's signature Ethiopian style- like wraps. It also has melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and all the good. This was great.It truly was delicious, and not only is it mainy #organic with locally grown produce, but it's also #glutenfree! #abillionlove #veganisnotscary #veganisnotscary

Update 11-20-24 This breakfast burrito was delicious. I haven't had this breakfast bowl in year(s) 🌱 It has only improved! I love the chunks of vegan cheese over the cubes of #tofu! Portia's as the best vegan tofu egg, imo. This bowl comes with crunchy lettuce, black beans, gaucamole, and sour cream. It also comes with my favorite smoked coconut bacun. It had so much flavor. You can also get their #organic yellow corn chips on top or on the side. This is a great dish to have any time of the day. I love that Portia's has breakfast all day! #veganfortheanimals #abillionlove #govegan #ditchdairy

This is my FAVORITE salad, ever. There are so many dressings to choose from as well, so always a different option. I had the ranch this time and it was so thick and creamy and made from sunflower seeds. My favorite hack is to add #tofu for a small upcharge. This salad has #organic and locally grown lettuces, sprouts, peppers, carrots and cabbage. It also has walnuts and raisins. It is DELICIOUS. Portia's is so accommodating for allergies and food sensitivities you can easily substitute ingredients as well. I always get the walnuts taken off and you can easily substitute for olives or another seed or hemp. I'm also super excited I'll be taking some photos for Portia's store and helping with their social media! #veganisnotscary #abillionlove #eattherainbow #veganfortheanimals #govegan

The strawberry filled waffle had me in awe. I will need to step up my waffle game at home now. Had overnight oats with bananas and chia seeds, amazing. Had their tofu egg cheeze wraps, along with a chocolate cheesecake and a mint chocolate chip cheesecake ❤️

This was also a new dish for me at Portia's Cafe! This 7- layer dip was delicious. 🥑 it was layered with housemade guacamole, salsa, Daiya cheese, black beans, house-made vegan sour cream, black olives, and onion. It was served with a portion of corn chips. The flavor of the dip was delicious. I loved the different layers, and I'm a huge fan of Portia's gaucamole. Everything was fresh and mostly organic with locally sourced ingredients. I really liked the #organic corn chips as well. This was a little pricey, at $14, but employees are all paid fair living wages, and also ingredients are sourced from local farmers. I dont mind paying a bit more here. This is a great appetizer to share with your table and makes a great starter dish. #veganisnotscary #veganfortheanimals #abillionlove #veganchips #healthylifestyle
