Owner operated, Italian traditional with modern sensibility.
I sometimes hesitate to go to a new place alone but these folks made me feel welcome. Customers walk in from around the Lents neighborhood.
Your eyes hit the display cases and you forget about being shy!
You know the feeling when you open the fridge and look for that mythic, perfect food but never find it? Bella’s grass pie comes -SO- close that I am going to call it the perfect food this morning!
I usually review when I feel strongly positive. I write negative reviews rarely and only when health, safety, etc. are an issue.

Their focaccia is absolutely stellar. I don’t even like olives normally, but they had this slab or focaccia fresh out of the oven and it was so soft and flavorful. I also got the Parmesan black pepper focaccia and it was also great, but a little less soft than the olive. Their house bread is great as well. Definitely worth a stop by if you are in the area

All sorts of baked goods, Italian baked goods that is. Beer and wine also avaible. I chose a portobello sandwich and a cannoli...with an espresso of course. Food was fantastic. Cannoli delish. Will be back for more of the other baked goods and pastry. I recommend it if you want to put a smile on your wife's face.

We stopped in for coffee and dessert.The latte was very good and the canolli was some of the best anywhere. The place is immaculate and brand new. We met the owner who is a very nice, and friendly young lady who is delightful. The decor is mininimalistic but very tastefully done. There is an old cooler that is very beautiful, used as wine display case. All in all a great bakery and coffee shop.

Oh man, talk about well worth the wait! Michelle Vernier is a highly respected chef and the Portland community, and Lents could not be luckier to have Bella’s in the neighborhood. Their soft opening was complete with delicious pastries, fresh brewed coffee and espresso, and Steven Smith Tea (which, as a tea drinker, I was super excited to see them carry!)
Cookies, blueberry tarts, a delicious flaky apple pastry that I’m not even going to try to spell, fresh baked bread, almond tea cakes...all present in this first day.
I shared the apple pastry, the tea cake, and the blueberry tart – all
