Another month, another list of top 5 posts on Bridgetown Bites. It was another good month as far as traffic goes, with over 16,000 unique visitors generating close to 21,000 page views. Attention was on an interesting mix of things in July—openings, closings; new and old-ish posts; plus supermarkets.

Flour Bloom Has Closed, but Just for a Month

This morning a reader emailed me about the closing of Flour Bloom, a self described “bakeshop & botanicals” is a shop that sells NY-style baked goods like rainbow cookies, butter cookies, and cannoli. Plus plants and pottery. He wondered what’s up, so I went ahead and asked. I learned that they’ve decided to close their doors for the next month, mostly for production reasons, and will reopen on Thursday, August 29.

Capitol Is Closed + Historic Buildings on Broadway

I’m often down along NE Broadway and the adjacent neighborhoods, whether I’m getting coffee, buying kitchen products, walking through gorgeous tree-heavy Irvington, or traveling through to get to NW Portland. For whatever reason, I hadn’t walked by Capitol in a while, and now I realized it has closed. This also means that the space is ready for a new tenant.

Four Things I Learned This Week (July 26)

Teote Tavern has closed. A Bridgetown Bites tipster emailed me with the message, “Looks like teote closed again.” Google confirms it; the website for Teote Tavern also says “Closed.” Disappointing news, for real. 5513 NE 30th Avenue, Portland

All hail the return of Nathan the Watermelon Man! I heard the good news from friends in Roseway about Nathan‘s return. While I was driving along NE Prescott yesterday, I saw his signs out. Looks like he’s set up on NE Prescott and 68th Ave.

Hummus Vitality has closed. Hummus Vitality has left the building. Well, they left Argay. A sign on the door says, “We’ve moved to 3223 NE Broadway St. as Nicholas Restaurant. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” I was just over there recently and had some really good tzatziki (the hummus was less interesting). Sorry to see them leave. Thanks to my honorary Montavillans for sharing this update. 13816 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland

Get your ful at Yigebe Coffee. This little Ethiopian cafe on NE Sandy in the Rose City Park neighborhood is now serving Ful for breakfast. Ful, or Ful Medames, is a traditional Ethiopian breakfast dish with a base of spiced beans, often favas (I’ve seen it made with black beans). It’s topped with a white cheese, tomato, onions, jalapeño, and avocado. 5730 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland

Many of us have been wondering what has been going on with the Chaat Wallah cart at the Upright Beer Station in Cully/Roseway. Well, wonder no more—turns out Chaat Wallah is retiring, and an outpost of DesiPDX is opening in the same cart.
