Bipartisan Cafe

"Other than Lauretta Jean’s, Bipartisan Cafe is one of the most reliable spots for a mid-week slice with a range of options. Operating in Montavilla since 2005, Bipartisan serves a selection of handmade standbys like marionberry and chocolate silk in a space with classic Portland coffeeshop vibes. With slices and whole pies in vegan and gluten-free varieties, the bakery accommodates all, and will make custom pies based on customer preference. Orders are accepted by phone and in-person." - Michelle Lopez, Eater Staff

"Portland may not have had a Republican mayor since 1980, but nostalgic bipartisan vibes live on in this busy, spacious, art-lined coffee shop and bakery. The main attraction at the Bipartisan Cafe is the pie, handmade fresh daily, offered by the slice or as a whole with vegan and gluten free options. For the savory seekers, there are also sandwiches, soups, salads, and other offerings at this community-focused café." - Janey Wong, Nathan Williams

"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

"A cozy coffee shop and bakery that’s sat in Montavilla for many years, Bipartisan Cafe isn’t running anything special for the holiday. However, its fruit and pumpkin pies are always a solid choice, and are available to order online for Thanksgiving celebrations." - Alex Frane
