Angel's Bakery is one the anticipated highlights on my trips to the Gorge. Make no mistake, this is…read morenot just any little rural roadside Bakery, before opening his own business, Angel was a Pastry Chef at the swanky Skamania Lodge for many years and has trained with the best master bakers in the nation. He also does everything from wedding cakes to treats for special events, like the Huckelberry Festival. His experience shines through in his flakey strudel with Bavarian cream filling (a personal favorite). He also uses seasonal fruit fillings so look for raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, or the illusive huckleberry to make appearances in the sumptuous muffins and scones. Speaking of scones, you must try them, and at $1 they are half price and on par with what you'd find at a Starbucks or more upscale bake shop. All the quality and half the price, my kind of place! To some locals that are comparing the prices to the local supermarkets, ok it's a little more expensive, but you cannot compare these fresh baked, quality treats with a Rosauer's donut or packaged cookies. Plus, if you buy your pastries for your Sunday church socials from Angel, you are supporting and keeping your money in the local community. You are helping your parisioners/ neighbors and creating jobs in the Gorge - and saving in gas and bridge tolls! (yes, i'm talking to you Margaret, please don't let me eat another processed-sugar lard roll on my next visit!)

The owners have done a fabulous job in creating a market that checks off several boxes. - Organic food, both pantry and fresh produce, for those needing to purchase groceries - Great selection of tasty sandwiches made to order. Get a Turkey club, a wrap, aroast beef sandwich, Reuben, tuna melt or grilled cheese to name a few. - Freshly made salads with organic ingredients - Home made muffins, cookies and other baked goods - Coffee drinks from The Forge Coffee bar located inside the market. The coffee is delicious! - Small selection of gifts like tote bags, long sleeve shirts, tee shirts, greeting cards, and local artisan jewelry (yes, I bought a pair of earrings) Can't wait to visit again when the local cherries are in season. I know they will be awesome! You can take your order to go or eat there at one if the many tables inside. Located in the center of this 2 block town, the market is bright, spacious, with a beautiful lay-out. It has a modern, rustic vibe. And the service is friendly, small town charm. There is plenty of parking in their lot right out front. Dufur is about 15 minutes from The Dalles with nothing in between and even less as you head further south. Know that when you stop in this town, you can get something delicious and satisfying to eat & drink. Plus, you can pick up snacks for the rest of your day. All at the Dufur Market.

What could possibly be better?…read more Nestled in a small town with lots of outdoor beauty, local fruit, and all the outdoor activity anyone could wish for... lies a pastry shop that would make the best of Paris or Vienna stand up and pay attention, and it's staffed by lovely fun people! Every week, I get an updated menu, featuring all that is best in Oregon farming and orchards plus a delightful Eastern European spin that is so hard to find anywhere in the US. Do I think you should go? I think you should go RIGHT NOW! Go early for all the best though... Today, we had a wonderful filbert dacquoise and oh... wow. Each filbert (hazelnut if you're not local) topped with gold and chocolate, the creaminess, the richness, exquisite. Seriously, they deserve a Michelin star. But, that's not all! Don't miss out on the takeaway selections especially for gifts! The chocolate covered mango is a big hit. Today, we also got their pâté de fruit... a simple sort of gummy confection but... OMG!!!! So much intense flavor! We were lucky enough to get these from the patisserie of Gaston Lenotre in Ille de France while he was in his heyday in the early 80's, just after taking the world by storm with his pastries and candies... and ... I'm so sorry "uncle" Gaston... these are a level above your own. There, I said it. This place is historically, internationally good. If you miss out while visiting Hood River... your loss of a lifetime.

Cute little farm to souvenir store. This was somewhere between an orchard gift shop and high end…read moresouvenir shop. I was looking for something like Apple Hill in California. I know there are a ton of great farms and orchards in Oregon, so I started my explorations here. I'd read that they have a mean marionberry shake. When I got there, I saw that, for a dollar more, they also had huckleberry. I'm not sure if I've ever tried huckleberry, so I wasn't sure if I would even like it as much as marionberry, which is my favorite. So I picked marionberry, and it was bomb. Although it was on the expensive side for $8.99, it was pretty good. I also purchased a marionberry peach turnover for $5, and thought that was just okay. I loved their selection of high end jams and syrups. They have so many artisan products that would make great mother's day gifts. The girl who helped me was really friendly and made my milkshake right away. She gave me a free map of the Fruit Loop, which is Oregon's chain of fruit orchards with gift shops. Can't wait to explore more of those.

This is THE spot. I…read morehad a little trouble finding this place, because there is literally no signage outside, but it's exactly where Google maps says it is. The inside of the store is divided into two main sections: the market, and the carniceria. An entire wall of the market is a fresh bakery section. They had all kinds of pan dulce, cream horns, and Mexican pastries. Near the front of the store were candies and cakes including several flavors of fresh tres leches cake. This store smells so good inside. Even the meat section smells good. This was a major relief since the two stores I'd stopped by before this both smelled like mold. As soon as I saw how long the line was on the carniceria side, without having any idea what they were actually selling over there, I decided to get in line. I figured that if this many people were willing to stand in line for it, then it must be worth standing in line for. The line moved surprisingly quick. Once I got to the front, I got shy about speaking Spanish. I asked for two tamales. "De cual?" "Umm.. what kind do you have?" "Que dijo?" She stared at me like she knew I speak Spanish. (How did she know?) I ordered one chicken tamale and one corn tamale. I wanted some of the barbecue chicken, but there was no menu, and I had no idea how to order it. Maybe I'll figure it out next time. I grabbed a guava drink from the cooler and a coconut macaron from the candy section. Both were super fresh. The tamales were so bomb. The elote ones tasted a lot like tomalito, but less sweet. The shredded chicken tamale was my favorite though. Very tender, juicy, and flavorful.

Hidden gem! Literally. Located in the very large red building across from Rosauers supermarket in…read morethe Heights, there is no signage anywhere. You either know or miss out on some delicious hot Mexican food, pan dulce, and pantry staples. A friend told me about the freshly made carnitas, and his description had my mouth watering. I went the very next day! Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised with how large this market is, including the aisles. There's plenty of room to walk up and down each to check out the various Mexican sodas, treats, chips, salsas, piñatas, pan dulce, fruit, and produce. I grabbed a few mangoes for 79 cents, then fresh limes and cilantro, a pack of street size corn tortillas, then quickly realized I needed a cart! With cart in tow, I headed back to the deli counter where they have lots of marinated meat, cotja cheese, shrimp, huge trays of chicharron, roasted quarter, half and full chickens, three different kinds of tamales, and carnitas. When ordering a pound of carnitas, which will make our taco dinner so much easier since they did the work, the young man behind the counter even asked if I wanted to include the fat. While many of the local farm workers favor those sections, I opted to go without it, and I was very appreciative that he accommodated. The other foods looked and smelled so delicious that I couldn't resist getting a quarter of the white meat chicken and two jalapeño & cheese tamales, one pork, and one chicken. As I left the deli area, the smell of fresh bread was everywhere, the trays placed adjacent to entice customers! I selected two pieces of various pan dulce. Admittedly, I had a piece of one as soon as I got into my car! The rest is for breakfast, perfect with morning coffee. Makevsurevto check out the bakery and the beautifully decorated cakes. Also the rack of seasoning packs and the bags of dried chile. In spite of what other reviewers stated, everyone working there was very friendly, greeting me with a hello and a smile, offering assistance, showing genuine kindness. Same with the other shoppers. I was using a cane due to an injury, and people moved their carts out of the way and even asked if I needed them to grab items off the shelves. I'm so glad a friend turned me onto Mercado Guadalajara. Our dinner was fabulous and I'm already looking forward to more carnitas, tamales and roasted chicken.
