Old Town’s Portable Feast is now the Pastry Palette, a restaurant that offers a 
similar menu to Portable Feast, but with a sweeter twist.
“I do have a lot more pastries and baked goods,” says Pastry Palette's Vicky Morgan. The new sweet treats include brownies and gourmet cupcakes. “There are similarities, but also differences.”
Morgan and her husband William purchased the business at the end of 2009. Due to Old Town’s 2007 IKEA makeover, which added a new flair to many of Old Town’s businesses including the former Portable Feast, renovations were unnecessary.
“We’ve always wanted to own a place like this,” Morgan says. “When we saw this was for sale, we just jumped at it. It was a dream come true.”
Pastry Palette is a traditional family business. Morgan even recruited her nephew Travis Dominguez, who was living in Tennessee, to help out.
Morgan wants to expand the company’s catering sector,which she says has been going fairly well.
“We’re hoping that’s the part of the business that really starts picking up,” she says. “I think that will bring us through the slow time of the year.”
Pastry Palette is located at 1216 Turner St.
