Finally got to try this place today. Was busy with a constant flow of people. Love that it is 100% gluten free. I got a maple bar, cheddar and chive biscuit, a loaf of bread and a margarita pizza. My friend got a pepperoni pizza. Maple bar was light and fluffy. The biscuits was delicious with some butter on it. Pizza was great. Didn't taste like gluten free crust and has a great texture. My friend who is not gluten free said that she couldn't tell it was gluten free. I haven't tried the bread yet but I'm guessing it's going to be good. Doesn't feel dense. Service was a little slow but it was really busy. Was loud at times but it was a Saturday morning. Will definitely go back again.

We often don’t go to the same places when we travel, but New Cascadia is a firm repeat. Does not hurt it’s like eight minutes from where we stay ? Staff is super sweet, puts up with our extra chattiness, answers questions and very welcoming. The food is excellent and our breakfast trip gets us through well past lunch.They take pride in everything they serve, and it shows.
This bakery has amazing food. I can finally eat bread and pizza and cupcakes again!

Really impressive gluten free and even vengan pizzas, plus the gluten free vegan donuts are better than regular donuts.

Folks were friendly and courteous. On the pricy side, e.g. $4 16 oz ice tea with no refills.Counter service and asking for 15+% Tip to make our order and holler my name? Then we had to clean our own table of crumbs from a preceding customer and were asked to bus our table before leaving. What service did we get for our Tip?One of the worst pizzas I have ever eaten. Had a bitter finishing taste like there was some rancid oil on the crust.Another of those industrial interiors that reflect sound all around and seem so popular in Portland.

Love the gluten free bagels, they are chewy just like real bread. All their Gluten free bread is amazing. Oat muffins are delicious for a gluten free and vegan option. I drive 40 minutes and it is worth every minute.
I went to New Cascadia twice this week, and I won't be back. First complaint: there is only one small menu to look at, and it is right at the register. So you can't see a menu in advance to decide what to order. This means the line moves VERY slowly because every person has to wait until they get to the front of the line to look over the menu and decide what to order. So lame. Why can't they hang up a menu? Or put one towards the back of the line? Or....have multiples? Second complaint: the sandwich menu actually has this written on it: "We politely decline substitutions and alterations." What?! Seeing as they are a gluten-free bakery, I would expect them to be more accommodating to other potential allergies or aversions people might have (if, for example, somebody can't eat eggs or cheese). I've never seen that at another cafe, ever. Really unfriendly. Also, the blueberry muffins we ordered were really gummy and only had a few blueberries on top (none inside). The bagel sandwich I had was good. But overall, just a really disappointing experience. Maybe better to just get a loaf of bread or pizza and avoid the "cafe" experience?

I have been shopping with New Cascadia since 2017. First, I bought the wonderful yeast risen breads and then got very excited about the real donuts. Now, I love the pizza and cinnamon rolls. 10/10. I drove home and had my pizza 30 minutes later and it was still so hot my gums got pizza burns! Everyone I have ever encountered has been friendly and very professional. Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Great for people with celiacs and everyone else will also love it

Came here based on a lot of recommendations and it lived up to the hype! The bagels don’t taste gluten free at all and the desserts were also delicious. The vegan breakfast sandwich was a 10/10
Gluten free haven! The bagel and breakfast sandwich were delicious, but the maple bar doughnut felt like a dream come true. I haven’t had a doughnut this fluffy and airy in literal YEARS. This will be a pit stop for me every time I’m in Portland now!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free haven!
I asked if a bagel sandwich could be made without the avocado aioli and was told that they wouldn’t accept substitutions. I said “oh are the sandwiches made in advance?”“No” was the replyI asked “so they won’t leave something off my sandwich? I am allergic to avocados”.“No. Sorry, no substitutions” was the response.I get the concept of no substitutions. But this was more a “ommittance” type of request. I was not asking for a substitution.This place has never felt inviting or hospitable to me.They still operate as if it were Covid. Like as though they are not interested in being a publicly facing business. I wish this small local company the best of luck however I will not be returning as a neighbor or customer.Oh, by the way, this is the first negative review I have ever written about a business.
