Botanical Bakeshop is located at 4981 SE Woodstock Blvd
On one side of the shop, visitors will find Daphne's Botanicals, a houseplant design service and shop overflowing with greenery and gifts, founded by Daphne Peters. On the other side, Shop Halo Halo by Geleen Abenoja sells specialized baked goods and desserts featuring Filipino and Asian-Pacific flavors. Halo-Halo, from the Tagalog word, “halo,” (pronounced "hah-loh") means "mix,” and is also a Filipino shaved ice dessert that showcases a variety of sweet offerings which come together effortlessly.
While the Botanical Bakeshop's grand opening is set for July 15th, Portlanders have a chance to celebrate and support Shop Halo Halo's remaining financial needs at a Botanical Bakeshop Fundraiser on Saturday, June 10th, from 11am-7pm. Join us for a plant-and-pastry party in Woodstock to raise the remaining money needed for Shop Halo Halo's oven—one of the last remaining expenses before Botanical Bakeshop can officially open their doors for all this July!
