Life's list of "8 Specialty Bakeries That Ship Bread Nationwide", in which he wrote, "Luckily, a dedication to whole grains, naturally fermented starters, and no preservatives yields loaves that are surprisingly Old World in their texture and taste. If your local grocery store has a limited gluten-free selection, you'll want to fill your freezer with New Cascadia's baguettes, buns, egg-free challahs, and crusty loaves."

Cami Hughes included the business in Portland Monthly{{'s}} 2021 overview of "The Top-Tier Gluten-Free Bakeries in Town" and recommended the maple bar donut.
