The owners of a beloved north Portland eatery, Little Red Bike Cafe, might have shut their doors, but they’ve opened up a book deal. According to a post on their blog on Monday, owners of the cafe Ali and Evan Jepson-Dohrmann are working with a literary agent on a food memoir. The book will be about food and about the adventures of owning a small cafe in Portland.
The Little Red Bike Cafe opened on N. Lombard street in the summer of 2007 and was an instant favorite. The cafe became known for it’s excellent food and local vibe. Ali and Evan gave the place a decidedly bike-oriented feeling, not just in name but by putting a big red bike on the roof and by having a bike-through window. In September, I shared a story about their “Zoobomb sandwich”.
Little Red Bike Cafe also held fundraisers for bike-related non-profit groups and carried coffee and other products made and delivered by bike-based businesses. The cafe closed on June 18th after being unable to negotiate a new lease.
Stay in touch with Ali and Evan via their excellent blog or on Twitter.
