Just a note...

2011-07-16T12:19:00.000-07:00

Lately we've been getting a lot of questions about gluten-free items. We do not carry anything gluten free, except for our scrambles and potatoes, and have no plans to offer any gluten-free pastries in the future.

If you are looking for gluten-free pastries, I suggest New Cascadia Traditional or Sweetpea Baking here in Portland. They are both great!

Sweetness News

2011-07-01T03:53:00.000-07:00

A couple of new things down here:

*New table! Some wonderful customers brought us a new table and some chairs yesterday, which means we can accomodate more folks, which is great news for weekends. Now we just need to pick a color to paint it....

*The same folks who gave us the table also brought down a high chair. That brings our grand total to 2. And I'm trying to scare up a small changing table for the restroom. If anyone has one to get rid of, email me (Kay) at sweetnessbakeryandcafe@gmail.com. Thanks!

*It's going to be a great weekend, weather-wise, so head down to Sweetness for iced coffee and espresso drinks, breakfast, and delicious pastries. We will also have our booth up at the Woodstock Farmer's Market every Sunday from 9am-1pm. Last weekend was really busy so come early for the best selection- there will be mini pies but they sold out in about 30 minutes last Sunday!

Have a great 4th! We will be closed on the 4th itself but open the day before, and then open again at 7am on Tuesday. See you then!
