Portland Pedal Power

I only have great things to say about PPP — the customer service is absolutely amazing. I work as an EA in the Lloyd District and I don’t have a car… which can sometimes make catering a challenge. There are often times when I’m asked last-​minute or with relatively short notice to get something like donuts, or pie, or cake, or something else less commonly delivered, and that’s where PPP comes in handy. Just today, I got asked to bring in lemon meringue pie to celebrate the wedding of a coworker… who delivers lemon meringue pie? The fine people at PPP can! I emailed
and just asked if they could help, and Brook emailed me right back with an answer… and an estimate that was too high for my budget. I told her so and thanked her, thinking that was the end of it, and she emailed me back in two hours with another (way more budget-​friendly) option for a vendor they don’t even usually use — that’s what I call going above and beyond the call of duty, and it’s what I call AMAZING customer service. Highly recommended!

I’ve only used PPP for food deliveries, I work in the Pearl and am rarely able to leave the office so PPP is a godsend on days I have a particularly voracious appetite. The website ordering process is easy to use and payment options are plentiful. Delivery charges are fair and leave a little room to give a good tip to the rider, they deserve every penny! These guys regularly get to my office well before the estimated delivery time which is always a welcome surprise. I will continue to use PPP and will recommend to friends and colleagues.

Hey, this morning, after 6 inches of rain, no power at my house for several hours during the night, the donuts I ordered to celebrate the end of the Bike Commute Challenge 2013 arrived early and were still warm (yay: Delicious Donuts; yay: PPP). On a wet blustery Monday morning there is no greater joy if you have to work than fresh donuts delivered with a smile. Thank you!

I used Portland Pedal Power this week for a delivery to my son at college in the Portland area. What a great service! They were friendly, extremely helpful, delivered exactly when they said they would. I even gave them an incorrect phone number and since they had my number it was resolved quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use them again and will spread the word to the college about their service. Thank you Portland Pedal Power for your excellent work!

There are days when I forget my lunch, can’t get away from the office to get lunch, and I don’t feel like ordering pizza. That is why I was so thankful that a coworker had recommended PPP to me.
Their website is easy to navigate and they give you a large selection of restaurants and food carts to choose from. You simply click on the vendor of your choosing and their menu pops up. Make your selection and then checkout. Easy peasy. I can even tip online for days I have no cash… which is most days.
I haven’t ordered my catering deliveries from them yet but they can deliver large orders which is good to know.

Rad, rad, RAD! I’ve been using Portland Pedal Power for both work lunch deliveries and, ahem, personal lunch deliveries, for those rainy or lazy days when I just don’t want to venture out. And man do they… deliver! (Thank you, I’ll be here all night.)
But seriously — they deliver from a variety of delicious food vendors, including favorites such as Savor Soup cart, Pacific Pie Co, Koi Fusion, and new favorites (found through them) such as Habibi, and PeenKaew Thai. Mmmmm — luscious.
And they deliver other things too! Flowers, chocolate, groceries, coffee, catering… all done in the most Portland-​y, eco-​friendly, sustainable, bright-​green way — by bike.
Also, their customer service is top-​notch. They are friendly, super responsive, and easy to work with. Their deliveries are on time and your food is nice and hot. In my experience, if you have a delivery request that’s not on their current list of services you can call them and they will be genuinely happy to try and accommodate you. They take cash, credit, etc, and if you want to set up a business account for invoicing, you can easily do that too.
PPP rocks! If you’re within their delivery zone, this is a terrific small local business to support!

Our organization uses PPP for our lunch delivery needs and we couldn’t be more pleased. The service is great and I like the variety of vendors they have to choose from. Our food is always hot and on time. Also they are delivering items in an environmentally healthy way by using bikes instead of cars. I would recommend their business to everyone! It’s one less car on the street to deal with thank you PPP.

I’ve ordered from Portland Pedal Power (PPP) a couple of times as surprisingly, there are very few food delivery options in NW PDX. I’m a new mom, and often times its just not worth it to brave restaurants with all the baby gear. Plus I hate getting sat in the worst table and watching the terror in the eyes of other diners as they watch me lift a car seat into the high chair. (for the record I immediately exit the restaurant if my little one gets fussy bcs I’m not about to ruin the dinners of all the other DINK diners)
Anyway, PPP, is a great option for delivery. Food always arrives on time and at the right temperature. Plus, there’s just something cool about having your food come on a bike. I’ve ordered from PeemKaew Thai, Habibi, and am anxious to try some of the other choices. I recently gave the Pacific Pie Company’s frozen pie’s a go ordering a variety of 5 different pie’s. My favorite was the ‘beef in stout’ one and the ‘golden lamb curry’ option. The pies are a nice alternative to frozen pizza because they don’t have all the yucky artificial ingredients. I love having a locally made convenience food in the freezer that can be easily heated in the oven.

I found Portland Pedal Power on Twitter. They’re a newer bicycle delivery service covering the downtown area. They are currently delivering items from a good variety of food carts downtown, Trailhead coffee Roasters, Stone Pie Joe’s, Wingnut confections, New Cascadia gluten free Bakery, City Flowers, and 4^th Ave Shoe Repair. The list of places that they deliver for grows all the time.
I’ve been very impressed both times that I’ve ordered. The first time, I ordered lunch from Savor Soup House. The charge was $ 5, which seems fair since I don’t have to spend time or money on parking. They had advertised a free sample of Trailhead coffee and hazelnuts on Twitter, so I decided to order those along with lunch. I was completely floored when I received a full 12 oz bag of coffee, along with a 2 oz bag of tasty hazelnuts. I don’t know that they still offer those freebies, but WOW! They arrived at the exact time quoted, Ben who did the delivery is super nice, and my food was just as ordered.
The second time I ordered they were closed although it didn’t mention this on the website. Jenn contacted me ASAP, to let me know they were closed, and to offer my delivery free during their business hours the following week. They’re a new business, so it’s understandable that there are a few glitches that they’re finding. No biggy. I appreciate that they’re very customer oriented. I ordered the next day, got another delicious lunch, and more Freddy Guys hazelnuts.
I plan to order from them when I want lunch without having to leave the house. If you work or live downtown, try these guys. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. They take plastic, cash on delivery, and Paypal. How easy is that?
