Portland · Est. Neighborhood Bakery & Grocery
On NE Halsey Street, Floats Magoats blends a wood-fired bakery with a carefully curated grocery — where every loaf is fermented slowly and every shelf item is chosen for its origin, not its margin.
Our Story
Floats Magoats started as a weekend stall at the Pearl District Farmers Market — two bakers with a stubborn belief that bread should taste like bread, not like convenience. Five years later, we occupy a corner of NE Halsey where the oven runs from dawn and the grocery shelves carry the same care we put into our dough.
We mill our own flour blends, source dairy from Oregon farms, and stock pantry items from producers we've met in person. If we wouldn't serve it to our neighbors, it doesn't make it onto the shelf.
"The best bread doesn't need to be rushed. We let it tell its own story."
What We Make & Stock
A bakery first, a grocery second — but both done with the same standard. Everything we bake is made on-site; everything we stock is selected for provenance and taste.
Bakery · Signature
18-hour wild-ferment loaf, stone-milled organic flour, thick crackling crust. Our daily standard — nothing else comes close.
Bakery · Pastry
Danish-style laminated dough, Oregon cultured butter, 72-hour cold ferment. Flaky, shattering, deeply buttery — baked at 6 AM.
Grocery · Pantry
Single-origin olive oils, small-batch preserves, heritage grains, and house-made pasta. Every item sourced from producers we know by name.
Bakery · Specialty
Caraway rye, spelt-raisin, and our seasonal rye-pecan. Dense, complex, and made for proper butter.
Grocery · Dairy
Rotating selection from Willamette Valley creameries — aged cheddar, fresh chèvre, and cultured butter you can spread.
Bakery · Seasonal
What the market gives us, we bake. Stone fruit in summer, pear-ginger in autumn. Ask at the counter for today's selection.
What Guides Us
01
Our sourdough ferments for 18 hours. Our croissants rest for 72. We'd rather sell out by noon than rush a single batch. Flavor cannot be accelerated.
02
Every ingredient on our shelves has a name and a farm. We pay fair prices because the people growing our food deserve them — and because the taste is unmistakable.
03
We are not trying to be everywhere. We are here, on Halsey, for the people who walk in and want to know what's fresh that morning. That's enough.

Visit Us
Heads up: Our sourdough sells out most mornings by 11. If you're after 2 PM on a weekday, the grocery is still open but the bakery case may be light. Call ahead if you need something special.
