Cosmopolis Coffee, a small Portland roaster, is opening a cafe on NE Broadway on the south edge of the Irvington neighborhood. They’ll be taking over the old Saint Simon space; Saint Simon left there this past June.

Dinger’s Deli is now at Wayfinder Beer. They have brought their vegan sandwiches there, and their menu will co-exist with the regular Wayfinder menu. “Dingers is famous for recreating classic, absurdly delicious, glorious NY-style meat sandwiches entirely from plants.

Taqueria Mexa is opening a second location. They’ll be taking over the Poblano Pepper space by PSU. They have a location on NE 82nd Avenue—right next to where Florence of Nana’s Exquisite Confections was (she’s got a new spot further down 82nd, opening soon)—and their food is really good. We took some home one day and absolutely loved it.
This is a great addition to Southwest Portland. They’ll be open every day starting at 10am, and closing at 8pm on Sundays, 9pm Monday through Thursday, and 10pm on Friday and Saturday. 1921 SW 6th Avenue, Portland

I had a chance to chat with Emanuelle and Tilion Lieberman, Bossa’s owners. Here is what I learned from them.
