Well, that’s it. We are closed for good now in Portland. The Restaurant air-conditioning systems are not keeping up and we are prioritizing our workers well-being, as well as our customers experience. We wish we could’ve served you until 9 PM. We hope to serve you someday when you’re traveling through Salt Lake City, Utah.! We also hope to serve you our food someday if we get our products into retail formats in your local grocery store. It’s been a pleasure serving you, Portland and we wish you well!
Love!

It’s always been about love, teamwork, friends, family, community, human rights, animal rights, mother earth, unification, oneness, togetherness, Great Food and Great People! Big up for this crew!
Any of you fakers out there, s**t talkers, y’all wash that mouth out with soap!
There are many reasons why we are closing. Portland is such a beautiful city and such a creative epicenter. We hope that this city can thrive! We have shared our passion and love for vegan food as far as we are willing to extend ourselves. Veganism is about love, tolerance, compassion and unification for the Mother Earth! Anyone spreading hate better be ready for some serious Karma. Hate is not always as it may seem. Listen to the words of each other. They need to be based on positive intention, positive action and love. We hope that Portland can cure the polarization of people. It is not working for Portland. We hope Portland the best and giving huge hugs to you all!

We are open 3 more days! We will do our best to serve you all in the best way possible.

We are closed tonight Tuesday June 2nd from 2pm till closing.
We will open on Wednesday June 3rd at 4pm.
Once again. Thank you for your patience regarding this all. We are down to our last 12 days and things are a bit challenging with our tight staff at the diner.
Thank you for understanding.
Hope to see you during our open hours.

Here’s a tightened version:

We’ve got our schedule sorted and our team reorganized — we’re open 9 AM–9 PM starting Thursday, May 28, and plan to hold that schedule every day through June 14. If anything changes, we’ll keep you posted, but so far things are looking good!

A reminder that we’re operating with a very small team, so please be patient with us as we do our best to finish strong.

We truly appreciate your support, flexibility, and patience during this time. Closing is no small thing, and your understanding means the world to us.

One more thing worth saying: we informed our team back in February that we would be closing on June 14 — and every single one of them chose to stay through the end. That kind of loyalty and dedication is rare, and we don’t take it lightly. These are exceptional people who show up every day to serve you with care, even knowing what’s coming. That says everything about who they are, and about why we started Vertical Diner in 2019. We are, and always have been, deeply committed to hospitality — and that commitment carries us all the way to the last day.

Thank you Portland and Beyond!
Blessings, Peace and Love!

Closed Thursday morning, opening at 4 PM in the late afternoon.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we’re incredibly shortstaffed. I need to prep for operations as we go through the last three weeks of being open for business.

See you soon! Thank you for all your support.
We appreciate you.

Thank you for of your kind messages. We appreciate your patience with our situation. We let our team know we were closing in February instead of the day they showed up for work. We already have lost 2 people that were critical members of this team. It has been challenging keeping up with business. If anyone is great at vegan prep. We will hire you for the last 3 weeks. It has been slammed. We feel great doing the right thing but in some ways are being challenged for doing this.

We like to do the right thing, like treating everyone as equal. We come at our operations and services with love at a time where love, tolerance and compassion is looked down upon by ignorant, judgmental and angry people. Veganism was never about hatred.

So for all of you people making false, demeaning comments about our business. Shut the heck up!
Have you met me?

We operate business with a clean, professional, ethical approach founded with love for all.

We have had years of online bullying directed at me personally. It has been super gross to see in this Portland Vegan Community. Unreal.

Thank you for all of the real humans that are filled with love like us!

As for these s**tty Real Racists that are sitting behind their keyboards with white guilt. These people were either bullied or were the ones bullying These leaders of vegan businesses, vegan social media groups, and even journalists have bullied me.
These people promoting hatred, fascism, division, have hurt the reputation of a great vegan business.

Do you really think that this is a MAGA vegan restaurant? What a joke. Has anyone met a vegan white supremacist. In 29 years of being vegan I have never met one.

To all of you bullies, I will not call you personally out for your actions. Why? This business is about hospitality, professionalism, love, animal rights, human rights, and our earth. Y’all haters will learn that your social media likes is just pumping the same stuff that you dislike in this world. You get to stew in your own stinky! Karma is real y’all!

Thank you!
