Lovejoy Bakers is a bakery with multiple locations in Portland, Oregon. The business is owned by Marc and Tracy Frankel.[1]

Description

Portland Monthly has described the Pearl District location as "a sun-flooded shop where a dozen types of bread (Griffin’s pride: a caraway rye), superb scones, pastries, pies, and croissants are thoroughly enjoyed by the neighborhood". There are additional locations in the South Waterfront district and in northwest Portland.[2] The 2,300-square-foot space in the Pearl District has a seating capacity of approximately 60.[3]

History

Plans for Lovejoy Bakers to open in the Pearl District emerged in 2009.[4] The bakery opened in November.[5] Kyle MacLachlan visited the bakery in 2010.[6] In addition to breakfast and lunch service, the Pearl District bakery began a dinner series in 2011.[7][8][9]

A second location opened in southeast Portland in May 2012.[10] Plans for the South Waterfront location were announced in 2013.[11][12] The third location opened in 2014.[13] The Pearl District and South Waterfront locations launched Dinners To Go in 2015.[14] The South Waterfront bakery offered coupons for free cookies and coffee during TriMet's 2015 opening of the MAX Orange Line.[15]
