This is the same neighborhood where, rumor has it, Asa Lovejoy and Francis Pettygrove flipped the coin to decide Portland's name (Pettygrove won!). This location is our largest (by about 50 sq ft) and plays host to many hungry travelers and curious tourists, especially during the warmer summer months. We sell our largest selection of chocolate bars here at about 400, and the entire back wall is made of quartz-colored slabs of pink Himalayan salt. The wall, of course, was built by Mark himself.

Favorite salt for everyday eating: I toggle between the New Zealand Flake Salt and Fleur de Sel from Guatemala. I use both on avocado and veggie toast, fruits, salad, soups and more. An honorable mention goes to Kala Namak!

Go-to chocolate bar: I can't pick just one, but right now I always want to eat Ranger's Doug Fir Peppermint Patties! The texture is so perfect, it's minty and snappy. I'm addicted!

After work cocktail: I like sweeter, bubbly drinks! A spritz with rosé, an orange or grapefruit aperitif wine, and cherry or lavender bitters.

Hobbies? Baking, cooking, gardening, crafting, and anything that has to do with flowers. I enjoy going on bike rides, hiking and swimming.

Favorite salt for everyday eating: I go back and forth between Halen Môn Gold and Alaska Alder Smoked Salt! Gives a lovely lift to everything: fish, salads, curries, oatmeal and cookies, creamy desserts.

Go-to chocolate bar: Day-to-day, I'm definitely a recidivist when it comes to earl grey tea-infused chocolate from Crow & Moss. I love the way the tea flavor blooms after a moment. Makes me giggle. Most mind-blowing: Antidote Tomato and Anise.

Favorite way to use bitters: I'll put bitters in ANYTHING (including mocktails, salad dressings, marinades, baked goods) and especially enjoy black walnut bitters in hot chocolate.

Hobbies? Puttering with fabric projects on my mother's 1943 Singer sewing machine, and singing with my Sweetheart.

Favorite salt for everyday eating: Salumami! I love it on my avocado toast with a little bit of lime. I also like putting it on eggs and chicken. It's just a really good salt to have on hand.

Go-to chocolate bar: SOMA Twinkle Bar. Tastes like caramel... but there's no caramel in it! It's so creamy and delicious. Plus the salt rounds it out so well.

Favorite way to use bitters: Hazelnut Bitters from The Bitter Housewife. I really like using it in salad dressings, just to give it a nice nutty flavor.

Hobbies? You can usually find me reading or painting. Probably with some rain music or crackling fire in the background. Just to keep me in the zone.
