Our Story

For over a decade, we’ve been making delicious gyros for the Vancouver and Portland area. However, we didn’t always have gyros. Elayne Barlas (the founder of Pop-A-Bak) started selling Greek baklava at the Vancouver Farmers Market in 2004. After a few years of selling baklava and various other Greek pastries, gyros were eventually added to the menu. One thing led to another and we were soon involved in multiple Vancouver/Portland based markets. While we continue to support our local farmers markets, we are now gladly a food truck for caterings and events, a permanent food trailer, and soon to be a brand new restaurant! Unfortunately, Elayne is no longer with us but her husband (Harry Barlas) and children (Brianna, Philip, and Adam) continue to progress her business dream with her in their heart.
