Delphina's Bakery Café

Delphina’s Bakery has been locally owned since 1983. It began in the back kitchen of Delphina’s Restaurant which was making its own bread nightly for its dinner customers. Three partners, Al Edelman, Michael Cronan, and Stan Nowack, had a dream to take this bread to the streets, and soon, a delivery truck rolled out in the early morning hours to bring hot, freshly-baked loaves of this bread closer to more people. The Mistell’s soon joined this team, in 1985, and the bakery thrived. The restaurant is long gone, Carolyn Mistell is sole owner of Delphina’s Bakery, and the Portland tradition lives on and includes a whole line of artisan breads and breakfast pastries, still baked and delivered fresh daily. Over the years these breads and pastries have been shaped by a passionate love for tradition, excellence, and quality of product and of customer service. We hope that when you bite into one of our crusty baguettes, traditional signature sourdough boules, rich buttery scones, delicate rum raisin brioche rolls, or our famous Portland buttermilk coffee cake you will feel the history of off-the-beaten-path travels to bakeries around the world including Paris, Italy’s Cinque Terre, and even Beijing, and brought back home to Portland.
