We enjoyed our first lunch from Office Lunch, a 100% #vegan collaboration between Exquisite Creatures and Verdure that also offers Last Batch cookies. They are open Thurs & Fri 11 AM – 2 PM in Olympic Mills Commerce Center in SE #PDX.

The top left is the Water Cooler Reuben, which consisted of kohlrabi, red and golden beets, sauerkraut, Field Roast Chao cheese, and Russian gochujang dressing on rye. The top right is the Smash The Keyboard Eggplant Parm. We’re not sure we’ve got this right, but in addition to breaded eggplant that was crispy outside and tender inside, we think this had coconut-cashew mozzarella, vegan parmesan, and a lively tomato-based sauce on airy and pleasantly chewy focaccia. The bottom left is a Miso Chocolate Chip Cookie that was made by Last Batch. It was soft and chewy with a depth of flavor from the miso, packed with chips, and generously sized. The bottom right is a view of the inside of Olympic Mills Commerce Center.
