Bremerton’s 15th Street Bakery next to the Hi-Lo’s 15th Street
Cafe has closed. The owners of Hi-Lo had opened it as both a bakery
and waiting area for the cafe after the
death of the bakery’s previous owner Luigi Ferrari. But in
recent months, hours had dwindled and this week, this sign was
posted in the window:
The cafe still is open and regularly packed as usual. And if
people in the neighborhood are looking for sweets and pastries,
longtime Bremerton baker McGavin’s also is open about a half mile
up Callow Ave. and still selling pink champagne cakes, too.
Last week, I started taking quick looks at the new restaurants
and eateries that opened their doors to Kitsap customers in 2010.
This weekend, I’ll finish those glances with a look at the rest of
places (one more post after this). I’d love to hear your takes on
any of the new eating establishments. Here’s the post on
restaurants that start with the letters
B through E, and the last one with letters
G through L.
Mirracole
Morsels Granola Factory – Local granola maker Nicole
Matheson (whose product you may have seen at area farmers markets
or at Central Market) opened a factory and cooperative bakery in
the old Kingston Hotel early this year. Offerings go beyond granola
with cookies and trail mixes and bread from the Borrowed Kitchen
Bakery, which shares in the co-op. Location: 25931 Washington Blvd. NE (Corner of
Highway 104 and Washington)
Paella Tapas Bar – An offshoot of Burrata
Bistro, this Front Street Poulsbo restaurant offers wine and tapas,
the “small plates” that sustain Spain’s Madrileños until their
late-night dinners. Food reviewer Bernard Jacobson gave it a
9 out of 10 for food quality and 10/10 for service. Location: 19006 Front Street, Poulsbo
Pane D’Amore – After finding artisan bread
lovers in Lynwood with it’s bread truck — which was briefly shoo-ed
away by city for
violating city codes against mobile businesses — Elliott
Yakush, as planned, set up a retail location in a less-mobile
fashion next to the Treehouse Cafe, which let him sell his breads
at a table. Location: 4569 Lynwood Center, Bainbridge
Island
Papa’s Bar and Grill – Todd and Lisa Arnold
opened this locally flavored spot in the Perry Avenue Mall in the
spot where Ammirato’s used to be. They offer fresh soup, pizza and
burgers. Some of the local flavor literally comes in the form of
Minder meat used in its burgers, but in the aesthetic sense, it’s a
wall of East and West High photos. Customers can add their own. Location: 2901 Perry Ave Suite #5, Bremerton
Pho Tai – This small establishment offers both
Vietnamese pho and teriyaki. But it’ll be tough to compete with
Poulsbo’s other locally loved pho restaurant, Pho T&N, which is
right around the corner. Location: 19367 7th Avenue
Bremerton has a second bakery again, the
15th Street Bakery in the space formerly occupied by
Luigi’s bakery. It opened earlier this week, thanks to Hi-Lo’s 15th Street
Cafe owners Heidi and Lowell Yoxsimer, who have been working
on the spot since this summer.
They have breads and pastries from the looks of the photos they
posted to their Facebook
page.
When they talked to The
Bremelogger in September, they said they were getting
specialty request, such as gluten-free or sugar-free.
If any of you have tried it out yet, let everyone know about
it.
Oh, and in case you were curious, Bremerton’s other baker
(besides the ones at the big grocery stores) is McGavin’s Bakery on
Callow Avenue. It’s the “home of the pink champagne cake” (a
personal favorite) and Larry & Kristi’s Bakery in Manette.
