This is a place that everyone should try. It's great to be here in summer - the fresh juice mixes are divine, and they rule the salad domain. Blossoming Lotus is also a nice spot to get tea and warm food in cool weather. The specials, although a bit pricey, are often spectacular.
If you're raw, or interested in eating raw foods on occasion, this is the place to be. They even have raw desserts and chocolate. All around, it's a good break from the often unhealthy foods that you get at most restaurants.
My only complaint is that the space gets very crowded. They reside in the corner of a yoga studio, and although it's pretty, you're rather cozy with your neighbors.

They are also representing a majority of organic ingredients and locally sourced produce wherever possible.
Weekday evenings around 530 are regularly never dense with sweaty yoga practitioners:)

I love this place. I usually get the chef's special if its a pasta dish. I also love their raw hummus, so much so I made some at home. Their raw soups are also fabulous. Really this place is amazing, and you feel good after eating here because the quality is so high.

One of my favorite places in Portland. The food is good and clean.

Good place, but agree with the comments that it gets too crowded and it does deserve to have it's own place. I wish they had more raw foods though since I think, though I could be wrong, that the raw selection has gotten smaller over time.
