Portage Bay Cafe opens earlier than expected

After nine months of planning, designing, building and prepping, Portage Bay Cafe is officially open at 2821 NW Market.

We talked with owner Amy Fair Gunnar who says that they were hoping to open on Friday but since they got all their permits lined up early, they decided to open today. The popular cafe prides itself in serving locally-grown organic food. The Ballard location is open Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is the third location for Portage Bay. They’re also in South Lake Union and Roosevelt.
