Passover Food in PDX

April 6, 2008 3:50 PM

Stores that carry Passover food in Portland, OR?

I don't celebrate the holiday anymore, but every time Passover rolls around I start craving the holiday treats. Macaroons, soup nuts, honey cake. All of that. Unfortunately, the main grocery stores (Safeway, Fred Meyers) don't have much of a selection, if at all. There must be a place in the metro area where I can satisfy my Passover cravings, right? I imagine there are places in the West Hills, but my knowledge of that area is extremely limited. Please help!

(Bonus points if I can easily get there via tri-met)

The Chabad website recommends the Albertson's at 5415 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway, as well as Trader Joe's.

Yeah, Chabad always has a lot of info, but you could also call your local shul, they'll help

Yeah, that Albertson's is the go-to grocery for your Passover needs, in my experience.

Most Whole Foods that I've been in have a Passover section, and usually they expand it to an end-cap display this time of year.

3rding the B/H Hwy Albertson's, I was there half and hour there and the selection is huge, not just out in the front Kosher Section but on endcaps throughout the store and in the coolers. Their kosher deli is also worth browsing most days.

Tri-Met will get you there on either the 54 or 56 at the Shattuck Road stop.
