Three restaurants failed to survive on the corner of NW 10th Avenue and Lovejoy Street before ex-Pearl Bakery ace Dan Griffin teamed up with Pizzicato Pizza co-owner Marc Frankel to repurpose the legendarily cursed space into Lovejoy Bakers, a sun-flooded shop where a dozen types of bread (Griffin’s pride: a caraway rye), superb scones, pastries, pies, and croissants are thoroughly enjoyed by the neighborhood. A second location serves tram riders in South Waterfront, and a third in Northwest offers weekend brunch.
