Inspired by its Italian namesake, Roman Candle is a neighborhood bakery that uses the best locally sourced ingredients to serve breakfast, lunch, and an array of sweet and savory treats. As the casual neighbor to upscale Ava Gene’s, Roman Candle combines the elevated look of marble and rich wood with a laid-back style perfect for knocking back a couple Rainier tallboys while cutting into your pizza bianca with giant scissors.

Founded by Stumptown Coffee Roasters’ Duane Sorenson, Roman Candle reflects Duane’s love for restaurants rooted in neighborhood vibes. We welcomed him to be very involved in the creative process, knowing with his track record that the outcome would be pure gold.
The logo is a marriage between vintage Amaro bottles and classic Americana beer cans. The blending of Duane’s interests always presents interesting design challenges, with the result always special and one-of-a-kind.
"Factory North are ideal collaborators: They're attentive listeners in brainstorming sessions, critical participants during the creative process and, most importantly, consistent producers of exceptional results."
