Their story

The Better Bar is a small Portland, Oregon, company founded by Brody Durant, with co-founder Jamie Trullinger handling marketing and design. The two run it with a small production team out of a kitchen in Southeast Portland.

Their lineup is short and focused, including a single-origin dark chocolate bar and an original bar made with goji berries and quinoa.

How it's made

Every bar is made by hand in the company's Southeast Portland kitchen. The bars are raw-pressed rather than baked and are vegan, gluten-free, and made without GMO ingredients.

Why we carry them

The Better Bar is a good example of a tiny West Coast maker doing one thing carefully. We like the goji and quinoa bar for an afternoon pick-me-up.
