Laughing Planet Cafe Based on Greenwash Scrub Rating 3 user reviews ·  review this business 6507 SE 38th Ave Portland, OR 97202 (503) 998-7657 www.laughingplanetcafe.com vanessa [at] laughingplanetcafe [dot] com We are a quick-service restaurant that serves nutritious food in the form of tasty burritos, bowls, salads, smoothies, juices and home-made cookies. We are dedicated to making wholesome food accessible to regular folks with time constraints, keeping it affordable, fun and socially responsible. We have six locations in Portland. Sustainable Qualification Summary Our Portland locations are now operating in a “hub-and-spoke” system of food preparation and supply, which helps reduce our overall energy footprint. Our commissary is the hub that prepares our soups, sauces and proteins, and the cafes prepare, steam and present the finished product. We use a bio-diesel delivery truck to disperse the freshly prepared items on a daily basis. Our locations of neighborhood “satellites” mitigate traffic and encourage local interdependency (support for local schools and neighborhood events, etc.) We have a strong commitment to reducing waste on all levels, and we have initiated composting at all locations. Wherever possible we use the latest substitutions for products that are normally wasteful in production and disposal, which includes compostable paper products,cornstarch based cups,and potato starch-based materials. In designing our cafes, we have a strong preference for the re-use of existing materials and for the repair of equipment rather than disposal.

I love that there is a large selection of hot sauces for me to choose from when spicing up my tasty meal. The multitude of dinosaurs to play with while waiting for my meal to come out is fun too. I was thrilled when they opened a store over here in my own NW neighborhood, but I don't know that they will ever be quite as fabulous as the original on Belmont.

Have you been dreaming of a burrito filled with mashed potato's, broccoli, and chicken? Dream no longer, it's delicious and can be devoured here.
