"An award-winning, boutique bakery on North Williams, this spot from Kyurim “Q” Lee and Master Chocolatier Jin Caldwell opened in April 2019 with a menu of chocolates, cake slices, tarts, grain bowls, sandwiches, and drinks. Over the years it drew accolades, landing on Portland Monthly’s Best New Restaurants list in 2019 and earning back-to-back James Beard nominations for Outstanding Bakery in 2024 and 2025, ultimately winning the title in 2025. The owners announced the shop will close on Sunday, December 28 as they search for a new, more flexible space, with plans to keep momentum through pop-ups, chef collaborations, and events shared via Instagram." - Dianne de Guzman
