What a great expérience with Jasmine,thr Coffee is excellent, croissant so so good like in France, long time didnt eat a great ham sandwich like this with an excellent butter. Lovely, Alex and irina from France
This was my third visit, during my second trip to Portland. I stopped by for breakfast and shared a variety of pastries with a friend. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. My favorites were definitely the Raspberry Escargot and the Oregon Croissant.
The Morning Bun started off really well, but as I reached the center, the orange zest became a bit overpowering and slightly bitter. The Apricot Danish was decent, though not my favorite. The apricots had a slightly bitter aftertaste and leaned more tart than sweet.
Overall, this bakery continues to be a must-visit whenever I’m in Portland.
It's very close to the Washington Park and I walked in from the park. There are maybe bakeries to choose from. I like palmier so I ordered the one. It's the last one. Amazingly good.
Both coffee and bakeries are reasonably priced and the staff are very kind and helpful.
There are long table 8 and small round tables for two people. Big window and old fashion interior. I love here.
Here is a memory from my breakfast visit to Ken’s. A lady beside me is taking notes from a science book she is reading. A woman on the long table was crying, freshly wounded by the disclosure of a disappointment. Her two friends huddled her for comfort. My mother in front of me, looking radiant in the morning light while we slowly make our way through the goats cheese and leek croissant and the Oregon croissant whose tart filling perfectly encapsulate the chilly fresh air I breathed in my days here. A cup of mocha that is rich and whose vanilla bean fragrance wafts. Lines that snake to the entrance of people eagerly waiting for their pastries. It was nothing but warmth. And just like that, my morning is made.
Our family stopped in at Ken’s Artisan Bakery and overall had a very solid experience. We ordered a variety of items to get a feel for the menu. The croissants were well-made with good texture and flavor — light, flaky, and satisfying. The ham, thyme, goat cheese, and Gruyere croissant in particular was excellent and stood out as the best item of the visit.
I had the tuna salad sandwich, which was very good. The addition of pickled onion brought a bright, sharp contrast that elevated the whole sandwich. We also tried the grilled cheese, which was just okay — not bad, but something we probably wouldn’t order again. The pumpkin macarons were a hit with the kids, and we took home a few extras.
One of the highlights for me was the coffee — genuinely some of the better coffee I’ve had. Rich flavor, smooth, and well-balanced.
The only real drawback was the customer service, which felt a bit impersonal and transactional. Not rude, just not warm or welcoming. More of a “big city, stay in your lane, order and move along” feel. If you’re looking for a cozy, friendly small-town bakery vibe, this is not that. If you want excellent baked goods and quality coffee, this place delivers.
Would return, especially for the croissants, macarons, and coffee.

i forgot one of my cream puffs a couple days ago. the staff was very helpful, patient, & understanding. i biked today & also purchased a mango cream puff, very delicious. 😋
Thanks to the recommendations from Reddit Portland community, we decided to stop by here during our Portland visit.
It’s a cozy bakery with minimal seating space. Although we were looking forward to try their almond croissant, but the closest thing we got was their Apricot Bostock, it was good; but not like it filled the almond croissant void.
We also tried their Rasperry Rose cruffin, apparently which made them popular; sadly it let us down and the filling wasn’t that delicious
I was so excited to try this place but left incredible disappointed. The pastries are beautiful but the taste just does not add up, and especially not at the price point they’re sold at. The chocolate croissant was okay, the chocolate caramel brioche donut was not good, the raspberry cruffin was fantastic (but also too expensive), and the quiche was just okay as well. Overall, find another local spot to give a try instead if you’re looking for a great pastry.
This is definitely an experience more than your everyday bakery stop. The options are somewhat limited and the price is slightly higher than other bakeries I go to. That being said when you see the pastries you understand why. They are beautiful works of art. There's a bit of savory to go with the sweet. The espresso I had was fantastic. The space is a bit narrow and indoor seating is limited (there's some outside tables as well). Overall it's worth the visit when you feel like treating yourself to something new.
Probably my favourite croissants in the city! The dough is perfectly flaky, crispy, light, and full of flavour.
We tried both quiches — the vegetarian and the bacon — and they were absolutely delicious. The tart shell was buttery and just amazing.
Their croissants are the best I’ve had so far in this wonderful city. We also tried the lemon poppy seed pastry — very nice, though a bit sweet for my taste (I’m sure others will love it). The chuffin with raspberry and rose was a great combination, and my personal favourite was the pain suisse (they don’t call it that here, but that’s what it’s called in France) — absolutely delightful.
The staff were incredibly friendly and kind, which made the visit even better — until I learned they never actually receive the tips customers leave. That was disappointing, to say the least. Imagine running such a great bakery and still keeping your employees’ tips… classy move, right? Maybe the team should start a co-op and bake ethics into the recipe next time.

i don’t really eat sweets too much but these cookies were soo delicious. nothing about it was overly sweet. i love the softness and crispy texture as well. their matcha was paired well with the cookies.
We’ve been wanting to try this place for some time. We had a hojicha latte, a matcha latte, and an earl gray fig cookie. They were all delicious, especially the drinks, which were not too sweet and were true to the taste. The cookie was soft and had lots of yummy chunks. We highly recommend this place!
Amazing cookies and outstanding matcha! Got the miso black sesame cookie, delicious nutty flavor without being overly sweet. I came in shortly after they opened and my cookie was still warm from the oven! Went with barista rec on the matcha (idk which one it was lol) but the clear matcha was a 10/10! This place is absolutely worth it and would stop again on my next Portland trip!!
Totally fair review honestly, especially with how expensive everything is these days. But I actually enjoyed the cookies for what they are super dense, rich, and different from the usual overly sweet stuff around Portland. I don’t think it’s meant to be an everyday $3 cookie type of place.
I understand the review, especially with how expensive everything has gotten these days. But personally, I felt the drinks here were worth the price for the quality and ingredients you’re getting. The flavors feel thoughtful and different from a lot of the more generic spots around town.
That said, I’d still love to see small businesses in Portland continue trying creative and unique concepts like this.
Oh my, the earl grey fig pecan cookie was so delish and perfect—not too sweet, perfectly baked so it’s crunchy on the edges but soft on the inside. The temperature was also perfect as the white chocolate chips were ever so slightly melted. Mmm!! 😋 (she’s just pricy at $9 per cookie)
Matcha affogato was yummy but I realized I just prefer a matcha latte or a matcha soft serve
Matcha latte was good and one pump of simple syrup was perfect.
You can choose your matcha for the drink/affogato! We went with what the barista recommended
Everything was yummy but hard to really justify the price. Cute little shop (very smol) and it was mesmerizing to watch them whisk the matcha 🍵

I’m so mad that I didn’t try this bakery sooner than last year. All of the flaky pastries are perfectly crispy and buttery, including the strawberry + fig Parisian for which one of the employees brought the figs straight from her yard (I mean come on!!🥹). Needless to say it was sublime. There is such a wide selection of both sweet and savory pastries, I wish I had 3 stomachs to try them all.
I'm a croissant-loving immigrant from the EU who has lived in France. Bakeshop makes a solid croissant, the best in Portland that I've tried so far. Pastry is buttery but not totally saturated, avoiding the greasy, heavy taste that I've experienced at several other bakeries in Portland. I wish it were half the size and half the price, but then we are in America! Props to the bakery team.
Bakeshop’s Basque Cheesecake = yes yes yes please!! Also my favorite, is their twisted cheese stick spiced thingy, so good! Truly, everything here was delicious, and everyone was so nice! 💕
First time here tried a chocolate croissant and banana chocolate muffin (wheat free), both delicious. The location is very walkable and you can see all their current options from a window.
Croissant: $3 (no, $4)This might be my favorite croissant in Portland (and I’m a little obsessed with trying all the croissants at the moment). Nice Flaky texture on the outside. Well cooked inside with that slightly sweet, butter aftertaste.

What an incredible experience at St. Honoré Bakery! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the wonderful aroma of freshly baked artisan breads and authentic French pastries. Everything is made with exceptional quality and attention to detail.
The croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the pastries are beautiful and delicious, and the bread selection is second to none. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, coffee, lunch, or a sweet treat, there is something outstanding for everyone.
The staff is friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, providing excellent customer service that makes you feel appreciated. The atmosphere is warm, charming, and feels like a little piece of France right in Portland.
If you enjoy authentic French baking, high-quality ingredients, and a cozy neighborhood café, St. Honoré Bakery on Thurman is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended—I can't wait to come back!
This is the first location of St. Honore Bakery and has it's own personality. The inside is pretty rustic and old but comfortable. The service was decent. I tried their latte with chocolate cake and both were great. Parking can be a challenge depending on a time and day. Overall a great bakery and deserves 5 out of 5.
I travel to France every month and was missing it while spending time in Oregon so I searched for French bakeries. I was happy and surprised to find this one. It did have the air and menu of a boulangerie and viennoiserie. I enjoyed my latte and pain au chocolat while sitting outside. C’est bon.
I’ve been coming to this bakery for about 10 years, so I remember very well what it used to be like. That’s exactly why my last visit was so disappointing.
This used to be a true craft bakery. The pastries were made right there, the large oven was running, you could actually watch the bakers at work — and most importantly, the pastries were incredible. This place had character, atmosphere, and that WOW factor that made you want to keep coming back.
This time, my husband and I were sitting there eating and literally wondering, “What happened to this place?”
We ordered a strawberry tart. The pastry was soggy, and the filling was wet, overly sweet, and had no distinct flavor that we could identify. We also couldn’t understand why it was called a strawberry tart — the only noticeable strawberry was a single slice on top. We split it between the two of us and still couldn’t finish it.
The kouign-amann was just as disappointing — soggy and tasted anything but fresh.
Then something happened that seemed to put the whole picture together for me. While we were eating, I noticed how unusually quiet the bakery had become. Years ago, you could actually see the baking happening. When we finished and walked outside, I saw a vehicle pull up and pastries being brought inside.
I don’t know when the pastries we were served were actually made. Frankly, if they were from the day before, that would at least explain their condition. If they were freshly made and this is now the current level of quality, that’s even more disappointing.
But what bothered me even more was realizing that pastries that used to be made right there in the bakery are now being delivered.
I think that perfectly sums up how this place has changed for me. The wonderful craft bakery I knew for so many years seems to have lost its charm, its sense of craftsmanship, and, most importantly, the quality that once made it worth going out of your way to visit.
Unfortunately, it now feels like a fairly average bakery — just with the same premium prices.
After coming here for about 10 years, I’m genuinely sad to write this, but this was my last visit.
This is a not to miss French Bakery shop.
I had the Tart Tatin, a savory vegetable tart which had the perfect amount of cheese and onions, zucchini and tomatoes, balance was perfect. Husband had a turkey and cheese croissant which came crispy and hot. He finished with a chocolate eclair and we took home a pain au chocolate and kouign amman, a sweet buttery pastry that you just cannot make at home.
Plenty of seating although we did sit at their communal table. Lots of happy local and a healthy take out business. $2 per hour street parking.
I also bought a loaf of levain batard for sandwiches, there were about 8 varieties of freshly baked bread that were getting snapped up. Decent coffee.
Cute place, nice people, if you are shopping on 23rd, this is a great lunch place. I will definitely return for our French pastry fix.

Every thing looked so good!! The mousse pastries are lightly sweet and creamy and soft, the georgia peach mousse has a light cream and a peachy pit in the center! The chocolate doughnut mousse is so creamy and the sprinkles are crunchy! Got these 4 mousse thingys for $43.97!
This place is definitely a beautiful place. The décor and aesthetic are stunning, and it's a great spot if you're looking to take pictures or enjoy a pretty atmosphere. That's honestly the highlight of the experience.
Unfortunately, the desserts didn't live up to the hype. They looked beautiful, but they were lacking flavor and just weren't memorable. Considering the prices, I expected something that would really impress me, but they tasted pretty bland.
I was also disappointed that the Japanese fluffy pancakes are only served during certain hours, which wasn't clearly communicated before our visit. The staff wasn't very welcoming or friendly, which also took away from the overall experience.
If you're visiting mainly for the photos and ambiance, you might enjoy it. But if you're going for amazing desserts, there are much better places.
i was craving a coffee while walking around the neighborhood, so we stopped in. i ordered a marshmallow latte, which was mid to say the least. it tasted like normal brewed coffee with some cream, topped with mini marshmallows. potentially would have been better had it been a hot latte. but overall the flavor of the coffee itself was not great. the pastry options blew me away though! i was not expecting to get any treats, but once seeing how many gluten free options there were, i couldn’t resist! we got the mango pastry, the raspberry pastry, and two macaroons. the mango pastry was interesting… really really tart but objectively good. the raspberry one was so so fresh tasting and had good balance of sweetness and tartness. i got the ube macaroon, which was fantastic, hands down the best macaroon i’ve ever had! great flavor and texture. my husband got the thai tea one, which he enjoyed! unfortunately i couldn’t try because it was stored next to (and touching) the only non-gluten free macaroon option they had.
After hearing mixed opinions online we decided to try this place out and oh my god, everything is amazing! Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing tasting desserts! We got several items; the cloud bread, valentines day cake, mango cake, and macarons. We also got a strawberry lemonade. Everything was exceptional, we weren't that big a fan of the cloud bread but everything else was delicious! The mango had banana cake & passionfruit pureé and it was to die for. The valentines day was strawberry yuzu with white chocolate and was definitely my favorite by far. Even though it's admittedly a bit expensive, I would say it's worth the quality and experience. This is a very nice, well decorated bakery and everyone was very friendly. Will come again & will definitely be recommending to my friends!
This place is unreal Ah-mazing! I'm still in shock at how superb and knowledgeable our server Alex was. He is so passionate about crafting excellent cocktails to fit your specific desires. We were introduced to the owner Dan, who is a bubbly and sweet woman with an explosion of passion for her entire esthetic of her business the moment you walk in. We will be back. You must try the LA Vie en Rose dessert. Its the most beautiful dessert I've ever had.

This may be my new go to cake place! After my main bakery quoted me at over 400 dollars for a baby shower cake I found Helen Bernhard bakery. I was so nervous trying a new bakery especially as this was for my bestie's baby shower. When I walked in to talk about my cake ideas they were so welcoming and really worked with me, even let me try the frosting as I was concerned about it being too sweet. The cake was so cute, super affordable and tasted delicious, everyone loved it!
We had the pleasure of photographing a recent wedding where Helen Bernard Bakery supplied the cake and WOW! The cake was gorgeous!! Highly recommend these guys if you want a beautiful and tasty cake!
Beautiful bakery! The bakery cases are full of amazing pastries, cookies and tasty treats. The staff is charming. Easy parking. We had eclairs, mini cheesecake, creme puffs, Mexican cookies, muffins, and a coconut cake. Everything was delicious.!!!
Ordered a 1/2 sheet cake for my 4 year old’s birthday party and it was perfect. The folks that work here are super nice and easy to communicate with. I had a ton of questions and they were always helpful and kind. The cake was gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. Will definitely order from them again.
great stuff! amazing prices. I like my pastries a little dry so the 1/2 price Sunday was perfect! anything left they donate to homeless and shelters. they make their cookies with real butter! I spent less than $8 for a large coffee, a mini lemon cake, a cake donut and a shortbread cookie.

The workers were very kind and asked about how we liked the pastries we got, the presentation was flawless! The variety was very good and the ambience was lovely. It felt like we were in a pastry shop in France. We got the chocolate croissant then enjoyed it so much we went back in for the chocolate noir and the Dulce de leche brownie. The chocolate croissant was definitely our favorite! We highly recommend stopping by if you want a great experience! They also had water available for customers which was nice.
I have walked past this bakery quite a bit as it's within my neighborhood. I always thought the pastries looked divine & it always smelt so good. I never went in as typically when I think French Bakery & vegan don't usually mix. But I was completely wrong. My mom was visiting out of state & I knew she would adore this bakery. So I wanted to treat her & to my surprise I got to treat myself as well. They had a butterfly Dubai desert I was able to enjoy & I was actually really excited since I heard so much hype around the Dubai chocolate but never really took a look to see if it was something I could eat as I'm vegan due to medical reasons. But that desert with their oatmilk chai latte. I was in heaven! They have cute seating outside as well. Since that moment I stop by this little spot with friends to get a little sweet treat. 💖
Raspberry croissants are our all time favorite, and they’re huge! I also found out they sell challah on certain days of the week and it’s delicious. The shop is so cute with a friendly staff and some seating both inside and out.
This bakery offers a great variety of pastries. I came specifically to try their round croissant and chose the mango flavor—it was perfect, with a crispy outer layer and a smooth mango cream inside. I also tried the pistachio one, though I was hoping for pistachio cream filling, but it was some different filling instead. Along with the pastries, I ordered a tiramisu latte, but it was a little watery for my taste. The shop itself is clean and welcoming, with a few sidewalk seats for enjoying your treats outside.
Really nice bakery. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Deserts were aesthetically pleasing. Parking can be hard to find in the street. Lots of nice shops and dining nearby on the street and a nice area to walk around and visit. Will return.

Came for a quick boys trip to Portland and had the pleasure of having great coffee and pastries and sandwiches every morning while we were there. Very sweet staff.
BEST TUNA SANDWICH OF MY LIFE. on the most perfect everything croissant. We also got the coffee ricotta cheesecake, the peanut butter miso cookie, and the savory raclette, everything was phenomenal !!! only flaw of this experience is the only picture I got is a glitchy digi cam one of my croissant, I also taped this picture in my journal to forever remember
I think I prefer this place over Grand Central. The sandwich that I had the tuna salad I think was superior to Grand Central and a hair cheaper. The pickles that it came with were top notch, as well as the little sugar cookie a nice touch. I look forward to returning and trying many of the pastries. Plus another major pro to this place is there's actually parking!
This place makes great pastries. It is a hit with kids, naturally. You can order online and pick at a different line. I wish they had more breakfast sandwiches options but I don’t think I could bare the line if they did.
Pretty solid baked goods, their pecan scrappy is delicious. I just wish they had more rotating options. It's always the same stuff when I go. You pick a number when you go in to get your order taken and the space is small, so I would plan on getting it to go.

Stopped by Tous Les Jours in the Flock Food Hall and walked away with a couple of standouts.
The melon milk bread was the highlight — totally addicting, impossibly soft and fluffy, with an actual melon flavor. Think ripe honeydew clouds. It’s the kind of thing you keep tearing pieces off of without meaning to.
The strawberry cream-filled doughnut held its own too: light and fluffy, with a genuine strawberry flavor just as advertised, and a sugary, crackly exterior that reminded me of the top of a crème brûlée.
Best of all, nothing here was cloyingly sweet. Everything stayed tastefully understated — which, for a bakery, is a hard balance to get right.
Worth a stop for the melon milk bread to go. Or two.
This place is like a miniature version of Tous Les Jours! ☺️
- The pastries are made in Beaverton and delivered fresh every morning (no room for a full bakery). So, if you want something specific, it’s definitely better to go early, as they are likely to sell out by the end of the day. They have a small oven to heat the pastries tho
- Since it's a small cafe, I would recommend sitting outside or in the connecting FLOCK food court, which has more seating and even more food options
- The workers I've met are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They helped me place a large order of donuts at the last minute, and it worked out perfectly! If you treat them with kindness, they will be kind back. I go here quite regularly and sadly have seen many rude customer interactions :/
- This place is a bit on the expensive side $$$ My favorite things to get are: the fruit pastry, sesame donut, jalapeño ham & cheese croissant, croquette, honey ginger tea, and shakerato 🙂
I went in on Friday morning, and this case was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! It made choosing what to get so difficult, but the staff were incredibly helpful and helped me make the best decision. I ended up getting a pistachio spiral croissant and a slice of the Blueberry Cake, which will definitely be my birthday cake!
Yes on everything. They heated the curry croquette which I learned about from another person's Google review. Butter pecan latte, matcha cream cake and two kinds of croquettes. Love. 🥰
Yesterday (02/21/2026), I received an incomplete order — 2 items were missing. I took photos and informed the staff at that time. There were two employees assisting, and it appeared that they carefully counted and checked the items before handing them to me.
When I arrived home, I checked the receipt and compared it with the items I received. The quantity did not match the receipt, and 2 items were still missing. I trusted the process because I saw them counting thoroughly at the store.
I kindly ask the branch to improve accuracy in service. With two staff members helping to pick and count the items, this type of mistake should not happen.
I will carefully consider my decision before purchasing from this branch again. I am a foreign customer, but I am still a customer. I am sharing this feedback for improvement and development.
Thank you very much.

Bella’s
Located on the corner in a newer Contruction building. Street parking and a parking lot. They had a dog on the door that the will be closed 12/25/25-12/30/25. Inside is well equipped with a ramp and bar seating as well as a few tables. The employees are very friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are super reasonable. I purchased two things of pizza dough, mozzarella, sauce, two things of pepperoni, a 12 ounce mocha and a pastry for $29. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. I will update my review once I try the pizza kit!
If you like grinders, get this one, easily one of the best in Portland. Good balance of meets, tapenade and acidity. The bread is perfect, doesn't rip your mouth or get soggy. The pastries are all amazing, taste like really good homemade desserts. I can't go here without getting the lobster tail with amaretto cream.
If I could give 6 stars out of 5, I absolutely would.
Bella’s Bakery is hands down one of the best breakfast spots we’ve ever been to, and that’s saying a lot.
First of all, the coffee? Incredible. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, the kind of cup that makes you pause mid-sip and just appreciate life for a second. You can tell they care about quality.
And the breakfast sandwich… I don’t say this lightly, it was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Perfectly toasted bread, fresh ingredients, everything warm and flavorful without being heavy. It was simple, done right, and absolutely unforgettable.
But what really made the experience special was our incredible barista, She brought us complimentary cookies, completely unexpected. Such a small gesture, but it meant so much. That kind of hospitality is rare. You don’t just feel like a customer there you feel welcomed.
Amazing food, outstanding coffee, and genuine kindness. We’ll be back again and again.
If one could fall in love with a Bakery, this place would be it. Every item I ordered tasted amazing, wonderfully Italian, and made with high quality ingredients (+passion !).
The Sfogliatelle Ricce or lobster tail is super flaky and could make you feel like an Italian aristocrat! The custard filling has light almond flavor, not too right, and just enough sweetness to make you go ooohhhh and aaahh while pairing it with my Cortado. I grabbed the oat+fig bar and almond cookies as well... Enjoyed every last bite of the bar and still enjoying my cookies at home.
Staff is really nice and quirky, which makes it very Portland! Interior is cozy and decorated like an Italian country side with all their antique country home items.
Few seating areas inside, and lots more outside for you to enjoy the weather.
Those is one of the only places I will pay for focaccia in this country because it's almost as good as mine. Very authentic in what they bake n' make here, good value, employees are always fantastic. Not a lot of seating options, but I'm glad they have some outside tables with a little shade

Wow! This place is a MUST!! So delicious! I wanted 1 of everything - haha! Settled for a biscuit with jam and a slice of lemon chess pie, as well as a chocolate ganache brownie! The locals LOVE this place so you know it’s good! Definitely visit if you are in town!
Tried this place for the first time ever! I know why there’s a line: large variety of freshly made pies. You can purchase a whole or as a slice. They even had warmers outside so you didn’t get cold as you waited in line. I’m sad that I didn’t take a picture of my particular piece of pie, but I did take a pictures of the pastry window.. We enjoyed the raspberry berry crisp and the chocolate cream pie. Delish!!!!
Be prepared to wait long (2+hrs) on Pi day, you're competing with folks who wait in line at 5am. Huge selection of pies to satisfy your pickiest eater. Salty Grapefruit is my fave (shhh!). I think i love their fillings more than the pie crust itself ; the end crust can be very hard on some slices or the top crust on the heirloom apple was tougher than it looks. Too bad 2 slices was more than enough portion for one person .
Phone orders only available for whole pies. $7 Slices must be ordered on site. They have other pastries like brownies, biscuits, buns, rugelach etc. Limited savory items tho like the quiche. Some seating inside. Check out Well Spent market next door for frozen Lauretta Jeans pies if you don't want to queue. Free street parking.
Sometimes long lines can fool you into thinking it’s good food. The long lines at Lauretta Jeans is definitely worth the wait. Absolutely delicious desserts, teas, and coffee 🔥. The salted caramel brownie is out of this world! As are the warm chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies.
Pie was wonderful but the orange chocolate cream puff might be the best dessert I've ever had. So wonderfully orangy and the chocolate was the perfect amount. Cortado & that puff made my week.
Staff was super helpful and fast. Definitely coming back anytime I'm close to Portland

We randomly found this place as we were looking for a sweet treat to ends our lunch with. The place is nice and small. It looks like they make everything in the back and seems to be a small mom and pop operation. They had a variety of cookies and other small treats to choose from. I decided to go with the Oreo cookie and smores one. Both were delightful. The cookies had a nice soft chewiness to them and were the perfect way to end our lunch.
If you are looking for your new sweet treat spot, check them out! I was in the mood for a sweet treat but bored of my usual places. So I decided to try them after seeing their menu online. I was so delighted to chat with the owner. She was so fun and personable. The cookies are delicious. They taste as good as they look. I’m so glad I chose to stop on a whim, we’ll be back!
An amazing spot! The owner(s) themselves are very sweet people who work hard and create delicious treats aka magic in this sometimes tough world. This cake is the newest treat I’ve gotten to try and cannot fully explain how good it is!!! A new favorite. Thank yall 💖💖💖
All of the cookies looked so good, I couldn’t pick just one, so I left with a variety six pack. It’s safe to say I found my new “go to” dessert place in Portland! All the flavors were excellent, but my favorite was the peanut butter cookie. It has to be the best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever had, and the salt topper was just perfect. The cookies were not overly sweet or dense like I often find these days. This shop does it right!
These cookies are the best!! I had them for the first time at the Night Market months ago, and loved them, but going into the bakery somehow everything was even better! I chatted with LB the owner for 40+ minutes after buying my cookies because they are such a delight and pleasure to be around. Every cookie we had was super soft, insanely fresh, and flavors were perfect. The mini cookies are awesome as someone who can never decide on only one flavor. Great spot, very community focused, and the kind of place you want to spend your money.

Quite the euphoric experience. I'm in town getting some cycling in, and wanted to get some carbs before running around. The staff were super kind and great at giving recommendations. I grabbed a couple of sweet pastries and one focaccia. Most of the baked goods were coming out of the oven when I entered. The marionberry tartelette was buttery goodness at first bite. The Meyer lemon rosemary cake was just the perfect amount of sweetness. I've yet to try the focaccia that I ordered, but I think it will exceed expectations and will update this post when I get there haha. Definitely run or cycle to this shop and don't miss it. 🖖
Good Dough has the best bread in town! You'll find a delicious selection of pastries as well, but the standard loaf of sourdough is unmatched by any other bakery in Portland. (Make sure you get the coffee cake!) Brad (the owner) is also the founder of Portland Bread Fest, which is a delightful annual event that brings together the region's best bakers under one roof.
Bread is 10/10. Owner is 10/10. So obsessed with this place we’ve gone twice in three days! Can’t get enough 😭 Parisian sandwich is also incredible.
Oh my word. This place is a GEM. Truly, some of the best bread I've ever had. We got some sourdough, a focaccia, and an apple tart (forget the exact name) and all three were stunning. I daresay they were all the best of their kind I've ever had.
A word about the focaccia. Do yourself a favor and get one of these babies. I have never...NEVER had a focaccia that came close to this good and I've had some pretty dang good focaccia. I knew by the translucency of the paper bag that it came in that it was going to be good and my goodness, was I right. The flakiness. The crisp. The layers. The mouthfeel. It was almost like a savory croissant. Texture PERFECTION.
The sourdough, not to be outdone, was also a marvel. The texture, again, was perfect. Very chewy and when you squeeze the loaf gently in your hands it emits a delightful, airy crispy sound as if to say...."I was made just for you. Just for this moment."
Guys. Y'all. Get yourself down to this place and experience what bread has to offer.
Not to mention.....the prices are way lower than I was expecting.
AND. They were friendly as heck in there.
Just all around 10/10.
From crust to crumb, this is absolutely delicious sourdough bread! Likewise, the garlic loaf with sunflower seeds was one of the best garlic-based sourdough breads I've tasted--garlic forward (but not overpowering) and yet very smooth & balanced. The pastries were phenomenal too. This place is definitely a gem.

This bakery is great. They have many French and Vietnamese options presented tastefully but also in a no frills kind of way. But it’s not just a bakery they have great grab and go lunch stuff too like salad rolls and steamed bao, and other dim sum type stuff. It’s Counter/window service and they’re an always a line in the afternoon, however they are Quick despite the cue. There are SO MANY OPTIONS for baked goods and everything I’ve had is great. I am a savory pastry Kind of person so Definitely try the sandwiches. I love the combo bahn mi. Also The garlic cheesy bread is so good. There is some outside covered seating near the parking lot if you want to have your stuff there but I usually take it home. The price point is pretty amazing. I’m also addicted to their ice coffee in the boba cups, they’re sweet and fast. This bakery is such a part of the heart and soul of foster. If you need something quick, cheap, and yummy this is your spot. I hope they stay around for ever.
Absolutely ridiculously AMAZING!!! this was our second stop in. Both visits were great! The food is just to die for! I'll be dreaming about the garlic bread for the next 6 months!! No one was disappointed with any of their purchases. Great coffee, great bánh mi, great sweet treats, great savory treats! Do not miss this place if you are in Portland. (Or maybe even near Portland area!)
I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant.
The service was poor from the moment I arrived. The older woman who served me seemed unfriendly and unwelcoming. I did not feel greeted as a customer, and the interaction made me feel uncomfortable. I also felt that other customers were receiving warmer service than I was. While I cannot say for certain, as an Asian customer, I left feeling that I was treated differently.
As for the food, I ordered a coffee, a BBQ pork bao, and three bánh mì sandwiches.
The BBQ pork bao was one of the worst I have had. I love bao and eat them regularly, so I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, all I could taste was salt and sweetness. It lacked the savory BBQ pork flavor that I would expect from a traditional Chinese BBQ pork bao.
The coffee had a nice aroma, but it was overwhelmingly sweet. I understand that Vietnamese coffee is often sweet and strong, but this tasted mostly sweet without the strong coffee flavor I was expecting.
The bánh mì was also disappointing. I ordered the grilled lemongrass pork bánh mì, but there was no noticeable lemongrass flavor. It mainly tasted like pork and Maggi sauce. The spread tasted similar to store-bought mayonnaise rather than something made in-house.
Overall, the food was below average, but the service was what made this experience especially disappointing. I had wanted to try this restaurant for a long time because I enjoy bánh mì, so my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.
I did not try any of the bakery items, so I cannot comment on those. Based on my experience, however, I would not recommend this restaurant.
I went to the Pick-N-Pull in Portland and while checking out the guy mentioned An Xuyen Bakery and how good it was so I decided to check them out. I bought a pork sandwich, black&white cookie and another pastry. It was so delicious and fresh that I came back the next day for the pulled pork, which was equally delicious, flan, and a brownie cookie. I love the quality and price. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and quick service.
We got the number 13 grilled pork with lemongrass banh mi, a vegetable bow bun, and the Ube custard bow. The banh mi was delicious, the bread was great, the vegetables were crisp. The filling inside the vegetable bao was perplexing, we couldn’t tell if it was a radish or some other kind of fresh vegetable, but it wasn’t very flavorful unfortunately. The Ube custard bao bun was delicious.
Tips for Choosing the Right Portland Bakery
Before you set out on your pastry crawl, it helps to know how to match a bakery to your specific craving or schedule. Portland’s top bakeries often specialize rather than trying to do everything, so a little planning goes a long way toward a better experience.
Go early for the full selection. Many of Portland’s best bakeries sell out of their signature items by mid-morning, especially on weekends. If you want a specific croissant, loaf, or seasonal danish, aim to arrive within the first hour of opening.
Ask about the flour and fermentation. Quality bakeries are usually proud to talk about their ingredients. If you care about digestibility or flavor, look for places that use naturally leavened doughs, freshly milled grains, or locally grown wheat.
Check the day’s baking schedule. Some bakeries only make certain items on specific days of the week. A quick look at a bakery’s website or social media can save you from showing up on the wrong day for the item you want.
Consider the seating situation. Portland weather is unpredictable, and not every bakery has indoor tables. If you plan to eat on-site, bring a jacket or choose a spot with a covered patio or dining room.
Don’t sleep on the savory menu. While pastries get most of the attention, Portland’s best bakeries often serve excellent sandwiches, quiches, and focaccia. These can be a more satisfying lunch option than a sugar-heavy pastry box.
Buy a loaf to take home. The true test of a bakery is often its simplest bread. Pick up a country loaf or baguette, then see how it tastes toasted the next morning with good butter.
Portland’s bakery culture rewards curiosity. The best approach is to visit a few different spots across several neighborhoods rather than trying to rank them all in a single day. Each bakery on this list has a distinct point of view, and the only way to find your favorite is to taste widely.
Once you find a bakery that speaks to you, become a regular. Bakers notice familiar faces, and that relationship often leads to better recommendations, first access to experimental bakes, and a deeper connection to the community behind the counter.
