Ristretto Roasters and Nuvrei Bakery Collide

This Sunday, September 17, Ristretto Roasters turns one. It’s been a fantastic year; the customers are great, the neighbors gracious, and everyone says, we’re roasting the best coffee in Portland. Really, there’s been only one teeny-weeny problem…

“You need to stop baking.” This, from Din Johnson, owner of and roaster for Ristretto Roasters, to Nancy Rommelmann, his wife, a.k.a., yours truly.

What, did he no longer like the chocolate chip cookies? Had he tired of the blueberry-bran muffins? And what about his mother’s pecan balls, which I lovingly made each week…

“Relax, geez, it’s not the baking,” he said. “But you’re writing all day, I’m roasting, and at night, we can’t even watch a DVD without you jumping off the couch and saying, ‘I’ve got to check the scones.’”

Well…

“And that was the plan, right? That we’d phase in a new baker?”

Right… sniff…

“Baby,” he said. “It’s going to be okay.”

More than okay, as I’ve passed the spatula to Marius Pop, owner of and baker for Nuvrei. When we first met Marius, we knew instantly he was as passionate and meticulous about pastry as Din is about coffee, and that an alliance would make each man’s work exponentially greater. We visited Nuvrei’s kitchen in The Pearl, and tried the raspberry scones; the ham-and-Emmental croissants; the jewel-tone macaroons, the blueberry-cornbread loaf-cake that tastes of butter, butter and more butter… Sold!

Marius, formerly of Payard Patisserie, David Bouley, and Daniel (all in New York City), and Paley’s Place, currently sells his work from a kiosk on the corner of NW 10^th and Flanders, as well as in Mio Gelato, Moonstruck Café, Vino Paradiso and a dozen other places around town. His cakes also appear at forty billion weddings. When I asked him to sum up what he does—aside from turn out the best French pastry in Portland—he wrote:

In a nutshell: Nuvrei focuses on combining flavors that merge together with texture to create exquisite sweets. We do this for the energy, for the excitement of creating something beautifully… because we want to create a world of our own, where talent meets synergy and the two collide together into something amazing and great.

Stop by Ristretto for an exquisite Americano and a slice of that blueberry cake or one of, ahem, my chocolate-chip cookies, which Marius has most gallantly agreed to bake in my stead.

Also visit us on Saturdays, at the Hollywood Farmers Market

The Baker, 1681, Job Adriaensz Berckheyde

god, this might be a long post. here goes.

i'm looking for some tea products to purchase for my mom for mother's day, and since she particularly likes your tea, i hopped on over to this site. but, alas, no teaishness for sale here.

so i'm strolling thru the posts to see what i can find out and i see this one. and i consult my inner calendar and realize that i was there on your one year birthday, but had no idea then. i was 41 wks pregnant, and giving myself little treats on daily walks with the dogs to keep on trucking. we'd read about ristretto and wanted to try it, so finally we did. we ate a scrumptious berry scone and a fabu french toast brioche with our decaf americanos. we also grabbed the baker's card which said "Esti Pop", and we liked the name instantly.

next day, i was still pregnant-- that's 41 wks and 1 day if you are counting-- and went to see an acupuncturist to get labor going. it worked and a few days later a little sweetie arrived. at that point we were still rather undecided about names, and rather taken with Esti, as well as with her pastries.

seven months later, your esti is gone but our little esti still lives with us. knowing this all started on your birthday makes the story a little sweeter. i'll always have fond memories of ristretto.

thanks, patty
