CLOSURES

Bistro Agnes Like List
Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton’s cozy downtown French spot Bistro Agnes revealed this week that it will not be reopening. The restaurant's Instagram announcement read, "The last two years have been challenging for many restaurants and small businesses, and in this case, we just don’t see a path forward without drastically changing the concept to something that is not the restaurant that we built and love."
Downtown

Baby Blue Pizza Like List
This beloved Rose City Food Park cart, which was run by vegan chef and Gracie's Apizza Like List alum Odie O'Connor and was known as Portland's first and only vegan wood-fired pizza cart, will close after January 30. An Instagram post from the business read, "Hello everyone, unfortunately we have found ourselves in the same position that many other small businesses have. With the pandemic, an especially slow winter, and the rising cost of, well, absolutely everything- this just isn’t something we can pursue any longer." O'Connor's plant-based Detroit-style pizzeria Boxcar Pizza Like List will remain open.

But all is not lost: The business is transitioning to focus on its wholesale business, and its popular Li'l Puddin' cups (a coconut- and cashew-based treat) will be available in local grocery stores.
