Great value, mostly okay service

by shop_locally

Great sandwiches -- one of the best values in town. One sandwich often makes two meals for me and it's high quality, too.

The staff are friendly for the most part, but can be rude if not having a good day. Today, for example, the girl making my sandwich refused to smile or utter a word -- or even acknowledge that I was talking to her! If today had been my first visit, I'd never go back. Fortunately, I know she's the exception rather than the rule.

• Pros: Great value, Quality food, Close to shopping
• Cons: Moody staff, Hit and miss service, Nowhere to sit

Sad but True

by iriskisses

Sad, sad, sad that it is really dirty :O( True, true, true it is so yummy! It really needs to clean it up. Dirt is in the refrigerators, fly's flying around and landing on the food. I will miss going there-something happened...looking around I was really surprised how filthy it is. I hope it changes soon so I can write a 5 star review.

• Pros: Smiles, Good Food
• Cons: Filth

Great sandwiches and friendly folks

by helmsc

Delicious everything and very friendly people. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, so I call ahead and make sure they are open before treating myself.

Best Muffins I've ever had

by nnmer

I now live in GA (don't ask) and soooo miss things in Portland. One of the things I've been thinking a lot about is Bowers muffins. Wish I could make the things. Their turkey sandwiches with cream cheese and cranberry sauce is my favorite sandwich. Moody employees or not well worth going. Although, I've never encountered negative attitudes there. The muffins are a must. Hmmmm wonder if they overnight. LOL

Tasty bakery

by sullis

I like the bakery items. The sandwiches are great too. I like to pickup sandwiches at Bower's and take them to a local park.
