I’m a huge fan of Petunia’s Pies & Pastries which is a great place for vegan snacks and desserts located in southwest Portland on 12th Avenue. It is the first gluten-free Bakery to offer vegan options in the city of Portland and was established in 2010.
At Petunia’s, the options never end; they offer delicious babycakes and bars, which include the Salted Caramel Coconut Babycake (which I’d definitely recommend trying), Buster Bar, and the Millionaire Bar, along with several other options. Their Mom’s Chili and cornbread are a part of their amazing Eat menu which I suggest trying.

My first true adventure began as a six-month voyage around South East Asia as a fresh-faced backpacker and ever since I’ve lived a semi-nomadic existence, clocking up visits to over 40 countries. I’m a lover of US Road Trips, deserted beaches bathed in the warm glow of a sunset, Cuban mojitos, travel destinations far away from the tourist crowds, and all things Scandinavian – from cloudberry liquors to Nordic noirs. When not wandering the world and running Global Grasshopper, you’ll find me walking my ex-Athens street dog in leafy South West London, strolling around the Brighton Lanes on random day trips, hunting for photogenic landscapes or daydreaming about my favourite places; Havana, Copenhagen, Italy, Borneo, Finland, Greece, Berlin, Laos, California and the surreal and beautiful landscapes of a wintry Iceland.
