Our Story
A modern farm-focused patisserie in Portland, Oregon. Our desserts and pastries are rooted in the seasons, made with organic produce and ingredients from local farmers and craftsmen.
Rooted in the seasons, crafted with care.
Driven by our commitment to nourishing our bodies, community, and planet, we use only whole, plant-based foods, sourced directly from local makers and farmers whenever possible.
Our ever-changing menu is inspired by our travels, local farms, years of working in restaurants, and our West Coast roots. Every item on our menu draws inspiration from the Pacific Northwest's rich agricultural landscape.
We believe that plant-based pastry can be every bit as beautiful and indulgent as anything that came before it — and we are here to prove it, one handcrafted dessert at a time.

Meet the Founder
Marisa Kroes
As a self-proclaimed chocoholic by the age of ten, it was evident from an early age that I was destined for a career in food. While I love all food, baking is my passion, and dessert is my favorite course.
Throughout my career, I prioritized working for restaurants and chefs that shared my vision for sustainability. As a result, I was able to grow my own herbs, harvest my own honey, and shop at farmers' markets for ingredients and inspiration.
Along the way, I developed meaningful relationships with farmers and food artisans. These experiences created a deep interest in ingredient-driven baking and supporting our local food economy as both a chef and an eater.
orange blossom co is the culmination of those years of learning, growing, and dreaming about what a truly farm-focused patisserie could be.
