Lauretta Jean's
Nestled into Southeast Portland’s Clinton Division neighborhood, Lauretta Jean’s is your cozy corner for the ultimate pie fix. It’s named after the kind of grandma everyone loves, whose recipes kickstarted this whole vibe. It’s not just a bakery; it’s where you go for that warm, fuzzy feeling — with a side of the best pie you’ve ever had. Picture flaky crusts, gooey centers, and flavors that feel like a hug. So, if you’re in the mood to treat yourself or just hang out, Lauretta Jean’s is the spot. If your heart beats to the thought of pie, this is it!

tip to finding your dream vacation digs
When you buy a vacation home, chances are you want to keep it for the long-term, so it might be worth factoring in climate predictions when deciding on a location. Make sure whichever region you set your heart on will be one with the greatest return in joy, but also security in knowing that your escape will be there when you’re ready to…well, escape. If you’re looking for a vacation home in an area we don’t serve, we love playing matchmaker to agents who are local pros in the area that is calling your heart.
