"An old Portland standby, the Montavilla neighborhood’s Bipartisan Cafe serves its pies with coffee in an eclectic space decorated with American historical memorabilia. The case often has a selection of fun fruit pies — many of them vegan, unlike many pie bakeries in town — including a flaky marionberry with a dense, tangy center. Marionberries often make appearances in other pies in the case, from a high summer peach-marionberry to a marionberry with lemon curd. Call ahead to order a whole pie, or stop in for a slice like a regular." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
