As 48 seat take-out or eat-in café with a full liquor license, the focus of the Tongue is a 40-ft communal table composed from wood salvaged from the building's original support beams.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters supply the coffee, J.N. & Z. the sausages, bacon, and ham. Bread and pastries from our very own bakery, homemade soups, freshly baked muffins & cookies, freshly roasted turkey & beef, handmade salamis from Moccia. These are all items that make breakfast and lunch at the Salty Tongue a great experience.

Walk in and if you're in a rush - choose one of the listed or premade options. If you're feeling creative however, grab a sandwich order sheet (and take a few extra to have on hand to make it speedy the next time) and go to town. Fresh, gourmet ingredients lend themselves to crazy crazy good sandwiches. Add on some tabbouleh salad or another side to round things out, and find a bench to sit in the sun and and enjoy before heading back to work.
