Jattalee Chalernhinthong, who goes by JJ, is busy creating a new breakfast menu. After recently closing her first Bend restaurant, The Good Egg at The Grove, she’s working on her new plan for “8am-Bend Breakfast Bliss.” It’s an Asian-themed breakfast concept that she’ll open at her current restaurant, Dear Mom Cafe off SW Century Drive.
When asked to describe the menu she says, “Japanese coffee pancakes and we’ll have so many Asian-inspired toppings like tiramisu or matcha cream, white chocolate matcha, something like that.” JJ anticipates opening the breakfast spot in late May/early June from 8am to 2:30pm utilizing the Dear Mom Cafe indoor and outdoor space. The Dear Mom Cafe menu will also remain, starting around 11:30am.
JJ says she decided to close The Good Egg because it didn’t pencil out financially anymore with the fluctuating costs of eggs, rent and other expenses. JJ says she sold the assets from Good Egg to Hablo Tacos, which just announced it will open a second location at The Grove.
On the side, JJ has been doing donut pop-ups around town under the name Oh My Goodness Bakery. Each time there’s been a massive line for the handmade brioche Asian-inspired flavors, causing her to quickly sell out at 400 donuts. She’s constantly inventing new flavors. “We’re working on a tiramisu, a chocolate Dubai, banana Banoffee cream, honeycomb lavender. Something really fun like orange cream, passion fruit.”
JJ says she prefers to keep her donut business as a pop-up so she can meet other business owners and make new friends around town. Her next donut pop-up will be April 18. She’ll announce the location on Instagram.
