The Higher Taste is a company dedicated to bringing the public the freshest, most delicious ready-to-eat vegetarian and vegan foods available.
Consistent Quality is our creed: we trust that if you had eaten one of our sandwiches 5 years ago, moved away and then came back for a visit and bought a sandwich today, it would be as good as or even better than what you remembered.
We love feeding people vegetarian foods that are soul-satisfying. As a vegetarian or vegan, you are thoughtful about the food that you put into your body: many happy clients have told us that our foods keep them going for long periods of time and that they are energized after eating them.
If you look at the list of ingredients on our products, you’ll see that the last (but not least) ingredient we list is LOVE.* That’s the ingredient that makes food from The Higher Taste so special that it satisfies you, body, mind and soul.
*Except for The Wild Thing—which is also made with Love but to which we’ve added a bracing dose of Energy!

THE HIGHER TASTE STORY
We started The Higher Taste in February of 1987. Being vegetarians, we noticed that health food stores, supermarkets, schools and hospitals had barely any choices of Grab-and-Go foods for us to eat.
So, we decided to fill that void here in the Portland area by developing a delicious variety of sandwiches, salads and buzzitos™. After working for years in a small kitchen on SE Belmont Street, we moved into our own state of the art facility in April 2002.
We are now located on the corner of SE 28th and Holgate in Portland. This is a great kitchen! Department of Agriculture certified and it has allowed us to expand our production capabilities. In January 2003 we began a new route and started servicing all the friendly, hungry folks down in Eugene.
