Nuvrei

Nuvrei (also known as Nuvrei Bakery, Nuvrei Patisserie and Cafe, and Nuvrei Pastries) is a bakery in Portland, Oregon.

Description and history
Nuvrei is a pâtisserie in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The menu has included macarons, pretzel croissants, and sandwiches.

The business is owned by Marius Pop. In 2010, Nuvrei announced plans to open an upstairs cafe. The cafe opened in October 2011. Paul Losch was announced as chef in 2012. In early 2014, Nuvrei announced plans to open Macaron Bar (or "Mac Bar") downstairs. The upstairs cafe closed temporarily for renovations in January 2015; during this time seating was expanded in the downstairs Brioche Week and the business launched Brioche Week to offer additional pastries. In May, Nuvrei reopened with a new aesthetic and a "totally revamped menu with a new, much more intense emphasis on pastries".

Heart Coffee Roasters began serving Nuvrei pastries in 2015. Nuvrei expanded with a second location in 2016; no seating was offered when the new concept Pop Bagel opened in the lobby of the U.S Bancorp Tower.
