10 Places To Eat Rhubarb in Portland Right Now – EverOut Portland
[ad_1]
Rhubarb, also known as the “pie plant,” is a quintessentially Northwest ingredient and a harbinger of spring. It also holds a special place in my heart—it grew wild near my childhood home, and I love it so much I even named my cat after it. Here’s where to get your fill of the blush-pink, sweet-tart stalks this season, from cake to pie to doughnuts.
Note: Availability may vary. We recommend calling ahead to check to ensure specials are still available—or just take your chances and accept the fact that you may end up with an equally delicious, non-rhubarb option.

The charming pie bakery says, “We are of the opinion that caramelly/buttery/crunchy streusel is the ideal pairing for bright and fruity rhubarb,” and I couldn’t agree more. Their rhubarb streusel pie embodies this heavenly combination. If you’re for some reason not into buttery, crumbly topping (not sure why you wouldn’t be, but okay), they’ve also got a classic strawberry rhubarb pie and a blueberry rhubarb Danish.
