From the Restaurant Site...

Baker & Spice is passionate about sharing simple and fulfilling food of the highest quality with our friends and neighbors. Since 1998, we’ve been part of the vibrant Portland and Hillsdale farmers’ markets where our pastry has earned a devoted following. In the past year, we’ve also developed a selection of hand-rolled, hearth-baked breads.

Throughout the day in our Hillsdale shop, we bake everything from scratch in small batches. We use our own recipes, traditional methods and the highest quality ingredients: european-style butter, Belgian chocolate, and seasonal produce from local, organic farms. We created our Hillsdale bakery to be a warm, inviting and easy space to spend time enjoying delicious food. The kitchen is wide open by design: we want you to see who we are and be part of what we do.

We’re proud that the materials we used in the renovation of the former Hillsdale Pastry Shop are largely recycled, sustainable and that the space was designed and crafted by Julie’s husband, Matt, of Matt Kappler Woodworking. And, we’re happy to feature a frequent rotation of work from local artists in our space.

Friends: Our small batch philosophy and attention to quality are values shared by friends whose farms provide us with local, seasonal and mostly organic product: Gathering Together, Persephone, Spring Hill Farm, Viridian Produce, West Union Gardens and Your Kitchen Garden. Supporting other local business is a priority for us too, including our beverage partners: Zbeanz and The Tao of Tea.

Sharing: We have made it a priority to give back in ways that are both meaningful to us and make a difference for our community of friends and neighbors. We make contributions to local schools, shelters and other organizations on a daily basis with an emphasis on education and Portland’s sustainable food culture.
