Good News: Beloved Flour Market Bakery Reopens on NE Alberta

Like Paris, Portland is a city of neighborhoods, each having its signature cafés, restaurants, bars and bakeries, where residents gather to nod a hello, remark on how big children have grown and share the latest gossip. Lisa Belt's Flour Market was that kind of place from the moment it opened on Northeast 30th and Killingsworth, and quickly achieved "let's meet there" status among lovers of good drip coffee and outstanding baked goods and  breads.

So regulars were overcome with shock and dismay at the news that Lisa was closing the beloved bakery at the end of 2025 due to financial considerations at the Killingsworth space, shifting her focus to the production bakery in Southeast Portland. There was a ray of hope in the closure announcement, however, in that she was open to a "brilliant location thought or secret idea."

Enter Brant Ozanich and Gabby Terracciano of Dogwood Wine and Flowers on Northeast 30th and Alberta, loyal wholesale customers of Flour Market, who were remodeling their space to accomodate a food service partner in the mornings when they weren't open. Even better, with its location just a few blocks from the original spot on Killingsworth, Flour Market regulars could still drop in on their morning dog walks, with seating for 15 customers inside plus a covered and heated outdoor patio for patrons (and their pets) that seats 30. 

Look for Lisa's signature bread loaves, including the singular Danish rye called Rugbrød, and seasonal specials like challah. There's even (potentially) a Swedish limpa coming as soon as Lisa can match the memory she has of her mother's loaf with its hint of orange and fennel. (And a note to farther-flung fans: Look for Flour Market at the Beaverton Farmers Market starting this month!)

The best news of all, at least to this fan? Flour Market's new location is still just a half hour walk from my front door!
