I am honestly so bummed to leave a bad review but I really hope it helps with shifting this place a bit. It genuinely feels like the cafe does not want customers and I am confused by the decisions made by the decision makers of this place. In my time as a customer here I have watched this place go through it's evolutions, but this one, I don't really want to waste my money at. In the responses to reviews, I have seen them claim they lose money on vegan pastries and that is why they have limited the amount they make and sell, but -- during my time as a customer, every time I am in line, I have heard people in line in front of me ask why they don't have the vegan donuts, why their only vegan pizza option doesn't have vegan cheese (when they literally use vegan cheese for the vegan breakfast sando and the pepperoni pizza..??) and why they stopped making certain items vegan. Literally every single time I'm in line, I have heard a verbal complaint from a customer about the food options provided and I genuinely feel bad for the staff that have to sit through and say the same thing over and over again to customers. For their sandwiches, which is in my opinion, the most confusing part -- they don't even use their farmhouse bread, they use a cheese bread made from their pizza dough which means if you are dairy free, you cannot even adjust the one sandwich option they have to be dairy free. It's weird because every business in Portland that offers a gluten free option (that's a good gluten free option) uses their farmhouse bread .. but they don't? They used to be so accommodating to the dairy free folks and I remember when I first started going here I was SO relieved to find a place that actually had options for me. Gluten Free spots, like truly celiac friendly spots, are so hard to come by. This place fills a community need for immunocompromised folks and it used to do it in a way that felt truly accommodating and actually catered to it's customer base. Now, it feels like they sell only what they feel the masses will like and cover everything with butter and cheese. I understand that running a business post covid is hard and that especially an allergy friendly business is hard -- costs are rising, things are scary -- but there are ways to hear the feedback from your customers and still be accommodating. GEM and Petunia's have been able to continue to stay open and still provide dairy free options. I hope y'all find a way back to your roots soon. You literally have all the ingredients to make allergy friendly food, even if it's just a vegan pizza and a dairy free sandwich, just provide them.

Nous avons eu un merveilleux sandwich focaccia sans gluten. Ils utilisent le pain focaccia et le plient en deux pour faire les deux côtés du sandwich. Nous avons également apprécié les scones et acheté un mélange de pâte à pizza à préparer chez nous. C'était notre première fois ici et nous espérons revenir lorsque nous serons à Portland. Ils ont été très accommodants lorsqu'il a fallu vérifier les ingrédients pour les allergènes.

Alerte à l'explosion de saveurs ! Je me suis arrêté chez New Cascadia Traditional et mes papilles dansent encore de bonheur. J'ai commencé par le dessert (parce que pourquoi pas ?) - le muffin à la rhubarbe - et oh mon dieu. Doux, acidulé, un peu sucré, parfaitement équilibré. C'était tout simplement incroyable. Puis est venue la pizza Biancaneve, et wow…😋. Chaque bouchée était cette combinaison parfaite qui mettait en appétit de ricotta crémeux, de mozzarella fondante, de provolone fumé, d'ail rôti, de parmesan, et juste ce qu'il faut de piments en flocons. Explosion totale de saveurs. La croûte était croustillante et moelleuse de toutes les bonnes manières - honnêtement, je n'ai pas pu m'arrêter de la manger. New Cascadia a vraiment réussi. Si vous êtes dans les environs de Portland et que vous voulez de la nourriture sans gluten et incroyablement bonne, cet endroit est fait pour vous. Je reviendrai certainement pour un autre tour !
