About us

Fleur de Lis

Artisan baking pioneer Greg Mistell, known for bringing French style breads and pastries to Portland since 1984, completed a vision to bring fresh hand made breads, pastries, and delicious cafe offerings to his neighborhood. Located in the historic Hollywood District Library building, Fleur de Lis Bakery and Cafe opened it's doors in 2005.  Long ferment sour dough, crispy baguette, multi-grain and rye are the foundation of breads at Fleur de Lis.  Multi layered, European all-butter croissant lead the line of delicious sweet and savory pastries. The Cafe offers breakfast egg dishes and sandwiches featuring Fleur de Lis breads. Lunch at the cafe features a selection of hand crafted sandwiches and homemade soups.

From books to breads!

Greg Mistell

Pre-ferments, poolish, lamination, autolyse are all an important part of our baking arsenal. Produce from friends I made when I was manager of the Hollywood Farmers Market, flour that puts protein quality over quantity, and butter from cows that I could drive out to see if I had time , all contribute to the quality of Fleur de Lis. 


Our customers are our neighbors. We share our lives and families.


In the winter looking out the bakery windows every flake of snow that falls is hypnotic. In summer when the big parade passes outside our windows we are children again. 


Baking isn't something I want to write about it's something I want to do.  There are always baking memories to inspire, there are always baking smells to take you back to a time when life was simple.  I once met Poilane and toured his cellar bakery in Paris.  The heady aroma of baking, and the rustic simplicity of naturally leavened bread was unforgettable. A simple sablee offered as a gesture of hospitality redefined simplicity and flavor. I have spent my whole life baking. I have no regrets.
