"The business’s deli and grocery outpost sells the famous horseradish vodka alongside frozen dumplings and other packaged items; it functions as the market outpost tied to the main operation (located upstairs at the former Goat Blocks location mentioned in coverage). The horseradish vodka had previously been made by other distillers before the team began expanding in-house distilling." - Paolo Bicchieri
"For something Slavic, Kachka’s small market and deli is certainly the go-to move for countless Portlanders. Kachka packs quite a bit into such a tiny space: Here, Portlanders can find Russian cured meats, cheeses, house-made pickles, house-baked breads and pastries, and a wide assortment of preserved fish and roe. The best one-and-done picnic option is likely the Ruskie Zakuski Experience, which comes with everything from herring under a fur coat to salat Olivier — online orders for the package are requested 24 hours in advance, but picnickers can also call in to inquire about same-day orders." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"At the upstairs market and restaurant Lavka, which is part of the Kachka operation, the Passover-specific takeout additions include house matzo, smoked brisket with uzvar BBQ sauce, matzo ball soup, matzo kugel, and chocolate-toffee matzo bark — note that orders for Lavka’s Passover items close Friday, April 12." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"During the strike, Portland public school teachers can get 50 percent off the lunch menu at Kachka's upstairs deli and market, Kachka Lavka." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Chef Bonnie Morales has developed a reputation for her thoughtful approach to the cuisines of the former Soviet Republics. Her deli and market, Kachka Lavka, will feature fun dumplings and salads at Pickathon." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
