Nuvrei (also known as Nuvrei Bakery, [1] Nuvrei Patisserie and Cafe, [2] and Nuvrei Pastries) [3] is a bakery in Portland, Oregon, United States. [4] [5]
Nuvrei is a pâtisserie in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The menu has included macarons, pretzel croissants, and sandwiches. [6]
The business is owned by Marius Pop. In 2010, Nuvrei announced plans to open an upstairs cafe. [3] The cafe opened in October 2011. [1] Paul Losch was announced as chef in 2012. [7] In early 2014, Nuvrei announced plans to open Macaron Bar (or "Mac Bar") downstairs. [6] 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. [2]
