    This place has amazing crepes! The gentleman at the front made everything from scratch with fresh ingredients and was very kind!

    Crepes seem to be the main attraction, and for good reason as they are delicious. I enjoyed the health conscious Medhead, the medley of ingredients work well.  

    The hot and gooey pimento cheese with candied bacon on MADE ON THE PREMISES bread was a satisfying gut bomb!  And the $2 cole slaw was better than the standard version of this usually uninspired side dish, the green apples make it.

    The owner takes great pride in his business.  Turnaround was about eight minutes.

    This cart pod is on the upswing.

    Turkey Reuben + Southern-style Grilled Cheese + potato salad + Giant chocolate chip cookie = delicious!

    My wife and I were lucky enough to try out this brand new addition to Cartlandia today.

    Here's the deets:
    They describe themselves as a mobile scratch bakery. Accordingly, their sandwich bread and cookie (in particular) were really satisfying.
    There are some great additions to traditional menu items that make their food interesting (apple in the turkey reuben to elevate it, candied bacon in the grilled cheese that makes the sandwich a home run).
    They wrapped up silverware and put it in a super cute bag that makes this the PERFECT surprise lunch for someone you appreciate.
    You're getting a great bang for your buck here, so hurry up and go before menu prices increase!

    Like any new place, there's room for improvement (potato salad has great flavor, fell short texturally) but the bones are here.

    Welcome to the neighborhood, OTL!

    I had The Rachel, it was amazing. Meat was great, perfect portions of topping on the sandwich. I'm excited to try another. I also had the strawberry crepe, it held up nicely for my short trip home and was great after my sandwich, even though I was a bit full I couldn't put it down.

    Tried this food truck on a day trip to Portland and was so impressed! The Rachel might just be the best sandwich I've ever had, and the slaw with the apple and bleu cheese was amazing. Definitely putting this on the list of must-haves when in Portland!
