"A homey, bustling café, Bipartisan has served fruit and cream pies to the Montavilla community for 20 years now. Bipartisan's homestyle pies never get too fussy, with touchstone flavors like banana cream, marionberry, and apple. The fruit pies sport uneven, hand-shaped crusts that are golden and flaky, while its cream pies are stacked high with fluffy whip. A slice is a must to finish a working lunch of panini and coffee."
"In the complex that houses Friendship Kitchen and Tropicale, the Pie Spot specializes in "cupcakes" of pies, roughly three inches wide, in a kaleidoscope of flavors. There are the traditional ones-marionberry, brown butter pecan, key lime, cherry-but where the Pie Spot has the most fun is with its creations that lean sweeter and richer, encroaching on cake territory. Think banana chocolate, strawberry cheesecake, tiramisu, and the s'more, with chocolate, graham cracker, and toasted marshmallow."
Pie holds a central place in American food culture and regional pies have become signature treats. Oregon designates the marionberry pie as the state pastry, and Portland supports a wide range of bakeries and cafés focused on pie. Bipartisan in Montavilla features homey fruit and cream pies with hand-shaped flaky crusts and tall whipped fillings, serving the neighborhood for twenty years and recommending holiday preorders. The Pie Spot produces three-inch pie “cupcakes” in both traditional and creative flavors—banana chocolate, strawberry cheesecake, tiramisu, s'more—and offers nine-inch pies by preorder or assorted mini dozen options.
