Defunct restaurant and marketplace in Portland, Oregon, U.S. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ripe Cooperative was a restaurant and marketplace in Portland, Oregon.[1] It was established by Naomi Pomeroy in 2020, in the space that had previously housed Beast, and closed in 2022.
Ripe Cooperative was a casual[2] cafe and market in northeast Portland's Concordia neighborhood. The menu included a six-layer Lasagna Bolognese.[3] It had a heated patio with a seating capacity of 26 people.[4]
Naomi Pomeroy started the business in 2020,[5] in the space that previously housed Beast. The name alludes to Ripe, a catering company and supper club[6] she and Michael Hebb started in 2002.[7][8][9] Ripe Cooperative offered profit sharing.[10]
In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ripe Cooperative donated proceeds from Bulgarian Caviar to World Central Kitchen's relief efforts for Ukrainians, and proceeds from Ukrainian honey cake frozen custard to a food bank in Ukraine.[11]
Ripe Cooperative closed in October 2022.[12][13][14][15][16] Pomeroy became a consultant for Quaintrelle,[17] and Dame Collective began operating in the space that had previously housed Beast and Ripe Cooperative.[18]
