Little Red Fox is now closed. Thank you for 9+ wonderful years!

We're a neighborhood coffee shop; a year-round source for tasty local produce and goods; a place to grab a slice of fresh house-made blueberry pie; and a source for a gourmet prepared breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We'll have a rotating selection of entrees, side dishes, soups, sandwiches, and salads prepared fresh everyday.

Foxes At Work A Little Red Fox Comic Cookbook

03/15/2023

We're back!! But this time, we're bringing Little Red Fox to YOU – with a cookbook!

When we announced the closure of Little Red Fox, we never could have anticipated the outpouring of love and support from our community, or the *incredible* number of requests for recipes.

Now, we’re putting together all your favorite Little Red Fox dishes (60+!) into a home-cook friendly format – and because we gotta make it Fox-tastic – we're interspersing recipes with slice of life comic strips based on our experience running LRF (all written & drawn by Matt and Jena).

But we need YOUR HELP to make this book happen!

Next Tuesday, we're launching a Kickstarter to raise the capital to create & produce this book. Sign up today via the link in our bio, and be the first to know when our campaign launches. When you back our Kickstarter campaign, you'll get first access to the cookbook, exclusive rewards (hello, merch! hello, LRF HOT SAUCE!), and regular behind the scenes updates on the progress.

Help us create one last memory and enjoy a piece of LRF forever! ✌️❤️🦊

Dearest Friends & Neighbors, 
 
After more than 9 wonderful years, we will be closing our doors at the end of this month. December 23rd will be the last day of service at Little Red Fox and Sugar Fox. 
 
This is not a business decision. Our little neighborhood operation has maneuvered around every bump and turn and continues to thrive thanks to our incredibly hard working staff, our incredibly supportive community, and countless regulars who visit us almost every single day. This is a personal decision by us, store owners Matt and Jena. In order to address complicated health issues and prioritize the well being of our family, we’ve had to make the very difficult decision to close.
 
We opened this business in our late 20’s with dreams to bring the casual gourmet fare we’d loved so much in Portland to the tables of DC. We were a bit naïve and absolutely made way too many different things from scratch in too small of a space: a bakery, coffee shop, prepared foods market, grocer, and sandwich shop that made its own hot sauce, pickles, apple butter, smoked aioli, pastries, and pies. We were even a butcher shop those first few years! It was an absolutely wild ride in the beginning, as we learned every lesson about running a small and indcredibly busy foodservice business as we went. But I like to think that keeping all of those different plates spinning in the air (and seeing a few crash and shatter on the ground) is what endeared us to so many regulars that have made us a daily part of their lives these past 9 years. 
 
Little Red Fox & Sugar Fox have always been a collaborative effort and their success belongs to everyone that’s ever worked in our kitchens and behind our counters—many of whom are some of our very favorite humans in the world. There are far too many people to name in this one post, so we’re going to spend the next 16 days that we’re open highlighting and honoring as many of them as we can manage here. Little Red Fox simply would not be what it is without all the wonderful souls that have come through it and changed it for the better.

Thank you for all the love, support, and good times. We'll miss you! (Stop by before Dec 24th if you can to say goodbye!)

“Double your pleasure; double your fun with D̶o̶u̶b̶l̶e̶m̶i̶n̶t̶ ̶g̶u̶m̶” Little Red Fox hot sauce!

Today we’re debuting 10 oz bottles of our signature hot sauce! Almost exactly double the size of our normal bottles (5.5 oz).

Customers have long asked for bigger containers (because they run through the hot sauce so quickly AND want to reduce waste), so we’re psyched to deliver a longer lasting package of the same smokey, sweet & spicy housemade product.

Look out for updated labels in the near future! 🔥❤️🦊
