Wellspent Market runs as a deli counter on SE Division, turning out soups, salads, and sandwiches alongside pantry staples, with an emphasis on ingredients sourced with some care — including seasonal peaches pulled from a bluff above the Columbia River east of the Cascades when they're in season.
The kitchen has expanded into catering, offering Italian-inspired sandwiches, seasonal salads, snacks, cookies, and drinks for larger groups, built from the same fresh, in-house approach as the deli counter. The recipes the shop shares publicly — a Winter Taverna Salad with pan-seared halloumi, a Spring Frittata with Asparagus & Freekeh, a Warm Lentil Salad, and a Cheese and Herb Flatbread — give a sense of the register: simple, produce-forward, seasonal cooking.
