Elephants Deli Site Gets Food Cart Revival | Portland News

Elephants Delicatessen’s longtime Northwest 22nd Avenue spot, shuttered after a March fire, is poised for a vibrant comeback — not as a deli, but as a bustling food cart pod with indoor dining, thanks to Koble Architecture’s bold plan. The site will host 18 carts outside, plus a two-story renovation featuring bars and restaurant space, all wrapped in new decking, fencing, parking, and landscaping. While the beloved deli’s return never materialized, locals are embracing the change — eager for culinary variety and a lively new hub that honors the neighborhood’s spirit without clinging to the past.
