History

edit

According to The Oregonian, the business was started by spouses Dominique and Stephanie Geulin in 1993; other sources suggest the business was established in 2003.[15][16] The original storefront opened on Thurman Street in northwest Portland's Northwest District in 2003. A second location opened in Lake Oswego in 2007,[17] and a third location opened at the intersection of Division Street and 33rd Place in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood in 2013.[14][18][19][20] A fourth location opened in downtown Portland's Morgan Building in 2016.[8][21] In mid April 2024,[22] a kitchen and fifth location opened on Macadam Avenue in south Portland.[23] The restaurant has a patio and outdoor seating, but no indoor seating. The kitchen is used to supply all locations.[21]

Dominique Geulin is the owner and head baker.[24] He has also been described as the chief executive officer and president.[21][25] On behalf of the bakery, Geulin accepted the award for Business of the Year from Lake Oswego's chamber of commerce in 2023.[26]
