History

Lisa Clark[15] opened the 25-seat[16] shop as Portland's first gluten-free and vegan bakery on March 1, 2013.[17] She operates the business with her husband Jacob Williamson.[4] Prior to opening a brick and mortar storefront, she sold gluten-free and vegan products at farmers' markets and other events.[10][18][19] The shop launched a savory lunch menu in 2014.[20]

Elephants Delicatessen, New Seasons Market, and Whole Foods Market have sold products by Petunia's.[21] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the business operated via curbside pickup and delivery via Grubhub and Postmates at times. Petunia's also sold baking mixes, gift cards, and merchandise.[22]
