Description and history

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]

[12] She also included Nuvrei in an overview of "Where to Get Breakfast and Brunch for Delivery or Takeout in Portland", published in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. [13] In 2021, the website's Michelle Lopez included the bakery in a list of "Where to Find Flaky, Crackly Croissants in Portland", [14] and she and Jackson-Glidden included Nuvrei in a list of "Outstanding Bakeries in Portland and Beyond".
