Nice service, good vibes. It’s a good little coffee shop, I didn’t try the food but they had lots of options for baked goods and snacks. Decent amount of seating.
July 12 · Silas Walker
This was a great space with super friendly staff. The coffee was amazing and clearly the barista had skill. They had many gluten free and vegan pastries on display and the food menu looks nice. I plan to come back and try their food. The coffee alone was so good though best sugar free almond milk latte I've had in a few weeks of trying new places.
June 21 · Abbie Lu
Came for the coffee; stayed for the sandwiches; will DEFINITELY return for the soup!My wife wanted a hot cup of coffee on a cold, soggy October morning. I wasn't in the mood for coffee, but I was hungry for something warm and comforting; thus, I began poking around online for a café reasonably closed to home that looked intriguing, and could satisfy both of our cravings. Hungry Heart checked all the boxes.The interior is a little sparse, in terms of seating and indoor dining (fallout from the height of COVID, perhaps?), but we grabbed an empty table near the (artificial) fireplace, placed our order: a tuna salad sandwich, a classic Everything bialy, a golden milk, double shot espresso, two oat milk lattés, one using horchata, and a bowl of the tomato soup. Drinks arrived first, in a handful of minutes, with the food hot on its heels.I have nothing but rave things to say about everything: the tuna salad sandwich was fantastic (bonus points for using capers, dill, and pickles instead of celery!), the Classic bialy hearty and satisfying, and the soup - otherworldly! Among the best I've had, anywhere, all by itself; but the addition of creme fraiche and basil oil elevating it even higher. Too often, the inclusion of basil can be a bit overwhelming, as it is quite often overused, but infusing it in oil? Stroke of genius.As a former barista, I can be critical of boutique café beverages, but the staff here know what they're doing. Thick, rich foam, correct temperature, quality grounds - you're in good hands here. The staff were also friendly and helpful, offering suggestions, clarifications, and general conversation.Although we didn't utilize it (this time), online ordering is also available, and seems pretty easy to navigate. You can even order ahead for pickup the next day, after they've closed, and choose your preferred pick up time. Pretty great for a local operation!All in all, Hungry Heart PDX has left me, well...hungry (and thirsty) for more. We will absolutely be back!

We were regulars when they expanded to serve full breakfast. Literally everything was unbelievable and we took everyone there. The return to the tiny storefront with no real kitchen marked a an end to our patronage. I miss the community atmosphere and patio of the large location. The new location is dangerous to enter, doesn't meet code, and l have seen seniors fall seriously. When they reopened in the tiny storefront, and it was suddenly horrific (freezer burnt OJ, cold "heated" items, dry pastry, etc). They are kind and offered free redo to return, but we declined. So sad they clipped their wings.

Cute bakery/coffee shop. The food and espresso drinks were great. The gluten-free bundt was awesome and I appreciate they had good gluten-free options. The burrito was also really good. The seating seemed pretty limited, but it's a small space so I'm not sure they could do anything differently. My only issue with the experience was hair in the burrito wrapping and a hair on my bundt cake. We also saw a man pull a long hair out of his breakfast sandwich.
