Such a lovely store. Their shirts are so soft and really cool Portland or Oregon images. Got a sweatshirt there that is my absolute favorite, light but warm with a cool design. All their local products from lotions to music to woven bags to nail...Read More

Summary: Give Mandy a raise!! As a newcomer to Portland, I was hesitant about which local spots I should eat, drink, and visit. Mandy, behind the counter, went out of her way to handwrite me a list of all her suggestions with descriptions of each recommendation! She...Read More

We got a great haul of local items: wine, cider, a shirt, a sticker. TLE feels so welcoming, it's very nicely organized and well designed, and Alex was super friendly and helpful when we were looking around and checking out. Worth a visit!

Visited Portland for a few weeks and came across this gorgeous shop in SE Hawthorne area. I’m so thrilled that I did because the staff who greeted and served me was exceptional, and the line of independently made products for sale was nothing short of perfection.

A great spot to grab an art print, t-shirt, or some locally made household or skincare items. This shop is the perfect place to pick up some small gifts this season, whether it's cute jewelry or a PDX themed post card!

Every location of TLE is so gorgeous! Helpful staff and a great spot to pick up gifts for any occasion. Discover new music, your next favorite jewelry piece or grab a festive greeting card. Love this PDX staple!

This store had a ton of locally made items that were adorable as gifts or just keepsakes for the home. The jewelry was pricey, but understandable since it was locally made. They also have a website.

Had a really wonderful experience shopping here, the staff made me feel completely welcome when shopping with my very active tow-year-old. Also I found some great art prints and gifts!

This place is cute. They have a little bit of everything. Jewelry, bath and body, handmade stuff, music, cards and so many nifty things. Staff is friendly. I would recomend going for yourself or if looking for gifts.

Oh man, the food, the service, the drinks... what's not to love about this place?! Had shakshuka and Bravas potatoes, shared with a friend and it was plenty of food. The Tasty Mary was very tasty indeed. Highly recommend!
