Nuvrei

Nuvrei (also known as Nuvrei Bakery, Nuvrei Patisserie and Cafe,[1] and Nuvrei Pastries) is a bakery in Portland, Oregon, United States.[2][3]

Description and history

Nuvrei is a pâtisserie in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The menu has included macarons, pretzel croissants, and sandwiches.[4]

The business is owned by Marius Pop. In 2010, Nuvrei announced plans to open an upstairs cafe.[5] The cafe opened in October 2011.[6] Paul Losch was announced as chef in 2012.[7] In early 2014, Nuvrei announced plans to open Macaron Bar (or "Mac Bar") downstairs.[4] The upstairs cafe closed temporarily for renovations in January 2015; during this time seating was expanded in the downstairs Brioche Week and the business launched Brioche Week to offer additional pastries.[8] In May, Nuvrei reopened with a new aesthetic and a "totally revamped menu with a new, much more intense emphasis on pastries".[9]

Heart Coffee Roasters began serving Nuvrei pastries in 2015.[10] Nuvrei expanded with a second location in 2016; no seating was offered when the new concept Pop Bagel opened in the lobby of the U.S Bancorp Tower.[1]
