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.

LONG TABLE SERIES

The Long Table Series (LTS) is an intimate gathering of friends, old and new, along our 40 foot communal table. Like coming home to "Sunday Dinner," but without the clean up.

Hearty home-cooked meals, good people, and great value $16 incl. artisan beer / beverage. And if you don't finish up, someone else will do it for you.

The 40 foot table is a "communal" table—please sit wherever there is room. You may not know the folks beside you, but you will within 10 minutes.

SUNDAY TO WEDNESDAY

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.
