Easter 2025 in Portland

This year, both Easter and Orthodox Easter fall on Sunday, April 20, with Holy Week starting Sunday, April 13. It is very uncommon for the two to land on the same day. But regardless of your level of religiosity, Easter can be a sweet time: Brunch, holiday candy, wine, and feeling grateful for spring are All Good Things. After all, Easter’s spring placement has origins in Oestre/Eostre, who is goddess of spring and fertility. 

Here is where you can enjoy Easter’s tasty charms in Portland

Baker & Spice

Choose from hot cross buns, a chocolate egg cake, carrot cake roulade, chick-shaped cookies, and more. Order here ($12 minimum order), and as per their ordering instructions:
