With roots based in Bend, Oregon, Sparrow has brought their bakery to Portland, settling into the St. Johns neighborhood. The 1,350 s.f. space is nestled into the ground floor of the Union at St. Johns mixed use development, also constructed by R&H Construction. The bakery includes a commercial kitchen and production area, a retail shopping corner and a custom casework for POS equipment and a baked goods display. Pops of Sparrow’s iconic yellow include custom light fixtures and shelving for displaying product, resulting in bright, welcoming and modern cafe.

R&H later returned and completed a 1,700 s.f. expansion for Sparrow that included new manager’s office, a walk-in cooler, 3-compartment sink station, breakroom and tables with mixers and equipment for food prep.
