We all know how important it is to support local businesses. Shopping locally keeps hard-working, mom-and-pop shops afloat, which in turn fuels the community (and economy) in a myriad of ways. And in Oregon, supporting the local economy is a no-brainer, especially with charming retailers like BELLA. BELLA is an adorable little mercantile with two locations in Baker City and La Grande, providing folks incredible customer service and an old-fashioned shopping experience that’s hard to come by these days!

BELLA is the kind of store that beckons folks from afar. Its whimsical storefront windows and displays harken back to a different time… and that’s intentional.

Because just like the mercantiles of yesteryear, BELLA is more than just a place to pick up a bottle of wine, cast iron skillet, fresh eggs, or deli sandwich; BELLA is a community hub where customer service and hospitality reign supreme.

On the shelves at BELLA, you’ll find everything from kitchen supplies and locally grown produce to handmade wares, artisan chocolates, unique gifts, and even toys.

BELLA is best-known, however, for the wine and grocery selection. Think high-end, specialty store, but with small-town service.

More than merely a grocery store, BELLA is also a wonderful place to grab a drink and bite to eat.

The menu changes seasonally, but one thing remains constant: the food will be really, really good. (This spin on chicken and waffles? Yes, please!)
