We’ve been serving the extraordinary coffees of Portland Coffee Roasters since 2001.

Our Pastini house blend from Portland Coffee Roasters is especially delicious with chocolate desserts like our warm Chocolate Tartufo.
Owen Roe Winery makes wonderful wines under the “Growers Guild” label. It started during the great recession when local growers were having hard times selling their grapes. Owen Roe decided to bring back the historic idea of sharecropping, and paid the growers after the wine was made and sold. The wines have been so successful (and celebrated) that they have kept the name and this line of regional varietals, although they now pay the growers up front. Wonderful wines from local vineyards!
South central Washington boasts a great climate for asparagus, and its proximity to Portland means we get uber-fresh product here during the spring asparagus season. This year we’re sourcing the tender spears from Snow & Sons in Outlook, WA, where fertile soil enriched with volcanic ash is enhanced by the temperate climate. Fred Snow started the business in 1941 and today it is operated by his grandsons Steve and Jim Thomas. Fun fact: the shoots sprout and grow to their full nine inch size in only 24 hours! That means the asparagus is harvested daily all through the entire season.
What better place to find the best mushrooms than right in our own backyard?
