Description

New Cascadia Traditional is a gluten-free bakery in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood. According to Nicholas DeRenzo of Yahoo! Life, the business is "all about non-traditional flours—such as millet, tapioca, sorghum, teff, and brown rice".[1] The menu has included bagels, breads (including baguettes, challah, hoagie rolls, and sandwich loaves), cheddar-chive biscuits,[2] cakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies, doughnuts, maple bars,[3] pizzas,[4] potato pancakes,[5] and sandwiches.[6] The bakery has also offered vegan options.[7]

History

New Cascadia Traditional is Portland's first gluten-free retail bakery.[5] Spouses and co-owners Chris Gumke and Teresa Atkins started the bakery in 2007. Initially, the couple sold products at farmers' markets (including the Portland Farmers Market)[5] before opening a brick and mortar shop in southeast Portland in 2008.[3][8] The business has been featured in an episode of Cupcake Wars.[7]

Reception

Allison Jones and Tuck Woodstock included the bakery in Portland Monthly's 2014 "Essential Gluten-Free Food & Drink Guide".[6] In 2020, Nicholas DeRenzo included New Cascadia Traditional in Yahoo! Life's list of "8 Specialty Bakeries That Ship Bread Nationwide", in which he wrote, "Luckily, a dedication to whole grains, naturally fermented starters, and no preservatives yields loaves that are surprisingly Old World in their texture and taste. If your local grocery store has a limited gluten-free selection, you'll want to fill your freezer with New Cascadia's baguettes, buns, egg-free challahs, and crusty loaves."[1]

Cami Hughes included the business in Portland Monthly's 2021 overview of "The Top-Tier Gluten-Free Bakeries in Town" and recommended the maple bar donut.[3] Sararosa Davies and Pechluck Laskey included New Cascadia Traditional in Eater Portland's 2022 list of "Portland’s Knockout Gluten-Free Restaurants and Bakeries".[2] The Food Network has said the bakery "has become a favorite among the vegan and gluten-free communities in Portland".[9]
