The 15 best spots for macarons 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.

This bakery has been on my favorites for a while and I finally got around to trying it. It definitely lived up to my expectations. I got the seasonal vegetable quiche and it was soo good. My friend and I both got the Oregon croissant which was delicious. The ingredients and bread here are so fresh. You walk in and it smells amazing. However, it was definitely busy and had a line around 9:30am but I would wait for another pastry here anytime.

TLDR; amazing tarts, may probably have to take it to go since tables might not be available We came in late in the afternoon and just got a small mocha, an apple tart and a chocolate hazelnut tart between the two of us. We did get lucky enough to get a table because someone left as soon as we ordered but the place was absolutely FULL when we arrived! The coffee is nice - not too sweet (which is always an issue with mochas), not acidic, super smooth. Love that they have an 8oz size! The tarts were delicious too - I did like the apple tart more than the chocolate hazelnut (which surprised me) - the apple almond combination really was what did it for me! The chocolate one is still pretty nice too- again, not too sweet, very rich with a hint of bitterness. The crust on both was really good - broke easily, not dry, not soggy.

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.

Stopped by on a holiday for a bit of coffee and the hope of eating something delicious from the display case. While food was not to be - unless bread alone would suffice, then a handcrafted coffee became the tasty treat. The staff is positive and helpful. The space is cozy, by that I mean close quarters in a good way. If you are not vegan you are going to love the pastries and treats they offer! So many and so beautiful! If you are vegan they have a selection of breads to tempt you… My coffee - a latte with oat milk, a touch of their house made vanilla and cinnamon. The wait was a bit long but worth it as the coffee was hot and drinkable while being totally delicious! The four stars is because I felt left out of tasting the treats that made my mouth water just from looking at them 🤣🤣🤣

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.

I can’t wait to go to Portland to eat here again. The sandwich had a perfect soft, airy and crust focaccia bread with ham, salami and cheese. We had a tasty blood orange tart and an almond croissant as well. I cannot recommend enough.

A quintessential Portland restaurant. It is very Portland like atmosphere. The food is good, just hope they have a slightly larger menu. But that maybe the part it makes a Portland restaurant. Service is good and staff are nice. I wish I had a bigger stomach to enjoy their dessert. Nice place to hang out.

We came for dinner without reservations the Sunday before Christmas!!! Crazy us, but we were patient and ended up with a pretty short wait! Our server was awesome and the food was absolutely delicious. I used to say this was a great place for dessert but just skip dinner… twice, now, I have been wrong in a short span of time. Dinner was so good! I think it rivaled my dessert! Haha! Will definitely revisit for special occasions.

Went in for dessert and a night cap around 9 pm. the baked Alaska was top notch. the waitress we had must have had a long she was checked out with 2 more hours until they close. I will be back to try other items on the menu

This restaurant is a staple in Portland. They have two locations, this one in NW and another in SE. Both have amazing food and desserts, with quality ingredients. I've never had a subpar meal or dessert here. Parking can be tricky as it's mostly street parking and this area in NW is busy. There is a paid parking lot behind the restaurant, but it fills up fast, and can be hard to navigate with a full-size vehicle. I took a friend here to celebrate her birthday. I made reservations online through Open Table. We came on a Sunday around noon. We were seated as soon as we arrived. We were lucky enough to get a window table. It was perfect! The entrance can get a little congested because the host podium is located right inside the door. The decor inside has a nice and cozy vibe. Sunday mornings and afternoons they offer their brunch menu. There's a nice variety of breakfast and lunch options available. We each ordered the burger and fries. The burgers were cooked perfectly. The fries were nice and crispy on the outside, and not greasy at all. They only had ketchup for the fries, no ranch available. I just ordered a side of mayonnaise to mix with the ketchup. Our food came out timely and was the perfect temperature. For dessert, we ordered the raspberry gateau and lemon chiffon cake. They were both so decadent and delicious! We took half of both home. They are a little pricey. I spent $85 for our lunch, including a 20% tip. Seems pricey for lunch, especially when we didn't order drinks, just water. Our server was attentive, friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time here. I would highly recommend.

We didn't have reservations, but they seated us quickly. But, it was down hill from there. Placed our order and waited and waited and waited. 40 minutes later we were served. Then we made the error of ordering their famous desserts and waited and waited and waited. They were not busy, but somehow everything took a very long. The food quality is only average. The desserts look the part, but are really hit or miss. Finally, this place does have a kids menu, but it really isn't kid friendly. Everyone will give you're group dirty looks if you bring in kids under 12.

Good food and service is amazing. Sunday lunch is a different menu.

Visiting from Texas, I didn't expect to be blown away by the filet mignon, easily one of the best I've had. Just the right amount of char and a sweet sauce to balance the bitterness. The broccoli and potatoes wanted a little salt but that may just be my palette. Really enjoyed the cocktails as well, they weren't overpowering and really delivered on the described flavor. Brittany's service was attentive and much appreciated, the entire staff was very pleasant as well. Edit as of summer 2025: They've improved on perfection, the Collete steak absolutely impresses with a chimichurri sauce and buttery savor to support the potatoes and asparagus. 10/10 They update their menu fairly often, the ribeye is still very good although sides are now a la carte, the included sweet salad was quite good

I think not worth 12 dollars. Maybe some dishes are. It's definitely a cute novelty though. I think I could see this being great at night when everything else is closed. Creme brulee ⭐⭐⭐✨ - just ok - little too sweet - liked the citrus Shazam ⭐⭐⭐ - liked the nuts wish there was more - didn't love the crust

I drove by late at night after a date. For being 1 in the morning it's a very well lit area. I loved the pictures and descriptions of desserts printed out of the table so I can see what was in the cake boxes. Lots of fun silly stuff too. Will come back with my daughter and get cake and treats for a picnic

This place in bonkers and fun in the best way possible. The desserts are incredibly worth it. Pop next door to the Heart Cafe for some tea or coffee to go with.

OG PDX meets modern convenience it's classic Portland 😎 Cool Definitely worth the stop! With about a weekly time, you can customize an order and pick up your delicious creations.

Bought 2 cakes from the vending machine. The concord cake was so bad that we couldn’t take 2nd bite of it. Waste of money. The crème brûlée was okay, yet overpriced. Wouldn’t recommend anyone.

The space itself is cozy but bright, perfect for a quick bite or catching up with a friend (I brought my planner and stayed way too long). Staff was super welcoming without being overbearing. I’ve lived in Portland my whole life, and this place feels like one of those hidden gems you almost want to keep to yourself. But honestly? It deserves all the love.

A fun place and the desserts are absolutely delicious. We liked the tiki tiki best. The machines are fun to scroll through and see all the foods, toys and desserts inside. There are to-go sporks available in a basket but not individually sealed, so that's dodgy. Prices are a little high.

I have high standards for croissants. This place did not meet them. The rose croissant sounds good in theory but it tastes just like a plain croissant with a sweet glaze that is dyed pink. When we got the rose croissant and lemon poppyseed scone at 1pm on a Friday, the croissant itself had lost all of its flakiness and was just soggy. The scone was also dry after sitting out all day. I cannot recommend the pastries here.

Sweetest petite bakery with so many options. The staff were welcoming and gave me suggestions on items but also what to do locally. They also have cookie mix and granola for takeaway. I ordered the mocha and pistachio croissant, both were excellent. I appreciate the attention to detail and high quality experience. I forgot to take a photo of my mocha.

Visited Nuvrei today for the first time with a friend and it exceeded expectations. It has a almost hole in the wall appearance from the outside but once you enter you’re greeted with a cozy vibe. The design is very attractive and all the pastries are laid out in front of you. There is not much seating which is the only downside. I loved all the different options for croissants and baked goods. The drink options were fairly unique as well. We tried the regular croissant, rose croissant, and the pistachio croissant all of which were fantastic. Very flaky, light, and fresh. The drinks were great as well. I had the mocha which tasted great. Pricing is certainly on the higher end and standard for Portland. Overall, highly recommend this place. It may be more of a takeout spot as it isn’t a large establishment and seating is limited.

Nuvrei in Portland is recommended for anyone who loves pastries and good coffee. The display cases are overflowing with freshly baked croissants, tarts, and inventive treats—everything we tried was delicious and beautifully crafted. Their coffee is equally impressive as well. What really sets Nuvrei apart is the space itself. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows flood the café with natural light, and the thoughtful lighting fixtures create a warm, inviting atmosphere. This place delivers on both taste and ambiance. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

The intoxicating aromas emanating from the actual bakery below , waftring out streetside, does an amazing job of luring customers into Nuvrei Part 2 is the tasting and sampling of top quality baked goods from Nuvrei' bakery . Outstanding!!!! Prices reasonable Restrooms 🚻 available. Handicap ♿️ doable...be aware there's a small flight of stairs to get up to the Nuvei bakery cafe . Final take......indulge in the best!!! Highly recommended 👌

Rose croissant was amazing, coffee was light and had an amazing aroma. Shop is small but modern and well laid out. Highly recommended for a quick delicious pastry and coffee.

Nuvrei in Portland's Pearl District is a must-visit for pastry lovers! Their chocolate croissant is perfection-flaky, buttery layers with just the right amount of rich, dark chocolate inside. Every bite feels indulgent, yet light. The bakery has a cozy, welcoming vibe, making it the perfect spot for a morning treat or a coffee break. Their attention to detail and quality ingredients truly shine through in every pastry. Highly recommend for anyone with a love tor fresh, delicious baked goods!

“A refuge, a moment out of time.” Where you slow down, and enjoy each dish made to order. The quiche here was a different animal - so soft the filling almost oozed out of the flaky crust. And the razor clams were divine! It was so full of umami and reminded me of the Chinese mitten crab. I already long to be back for the clams (and everything else). Plus great dessert.

Long birthday lunch for a dear friend - every bite was a delight! Radish & chive finger sandwiches, prawns, sole in parchment, spanakopita, basque cheesecake to finish. The chef was in Germany and the chef’s taking over the kitchen for the week offered equal care and creativity in each dish. The seafood was simply exquisite - perfectly seasoned, cook times to the second, we ordered bread to sop up every single drop of the jus. Pricey so I don’t go often, but when I do I dream incessantly about my next visit. Truly one of Portland’s finest restaurants!

This is a very cute place. The food is mostly good. The muscles flavor is great and very unique with the pine nuts. Cheesecake is delicious. The baguette and butter is ridiculously small and expensive. The pork salad has pork that is bland like a sheet of white paper, and the fried veggie part of the salad is inedible. This is the service is slow, but it doesn’t bother me too much because the place is nice and we can chill sitting outside

Cute little place. No wait around 1pm. Very innovative dishes with unexpected flavors. Would not recommend a big group but perfect for 1-4.

Great lunch spot with cool atmosphere and focused menu. Interesting dishes, small plates. Service can be a little slow because they are packed.

Incredibly charming space that also delivers on food, drink and friendly service. Truly enjoyed the seasonal chilled tomato soup and pan roasted flounder with chanterelles (fish du jour). And do not skip the elegant & tasty desserts!

The food was delicious. My favorite was the winter salad as the cabbage was fresh, crisp and dressed well. Another great dish was the black pepper cheesecake. Looked stunning and tasted wonderful (much lighter than a NY cheesecake and more moist than a Japanese cheesecake). The restaurant was beautiful as well as small. Made for a cozy meal. The folks working there were friendly, kind and hospitable.

The cinnamon rolls here are incredible and I am still thinking about them. My husband and I both had the bagel sandwich with ham and loved the bagels so much we bought some to take home. We also tried the brownie and the coffee cake - both were really good but the hero was really the cinnamon roll. Being a dedicated gluten free kitchen - it allowed me to order anything I wanted and that’s not a feeling I get often. Not to be missed - gluten free or not.

As someone who can't eat gluten, it's really hard for me to satisfy my cravings. But this place is amazing. I've been searching forever for a gluten-free donut that isn't just cakey, and I finally found it here. It's light, airy, and slightly chewy. I had the pizza here a while ago, and if I hadn't known that everything was gluten-free, I would've gone back to make sure they didn't accidentally give me the wrong pizza! I think about this place all the time.

Great food but the service is questionable. They don’t allow substitutions which is interesting for a restaurant branded by accommodation. We went in on a Sunday when it was packed and it took an hour to get our food, which was fine because it was so delicious. We went back early the following day and the restaurant was empty. We ordered the breakfast bagel and tried to add a beyond patty, but they only allow you to add a beyond patty on the vegan version and ham on the regular. We tried to order side of beyond patty separately and they wouldn’t sell it because the register didn’t have a button for it. Just very odd. The choices are mostly vegan or meat+cheese and you can’t simply take meat off or switch out a cheese option. When they say no substitutions they mean it so just keep that in mind.

Flavor explosion alert! I stopped into New Cascadia Traditional and my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. I started with dessert (because why not?) — the rhubarb muffin — and oh. my. goodness. Soft, tangy, a little sweet, perfectly balanced. It was straight-up amazeballs. Then came the Biancaneve Pizza, and wow…😋. Every bite was this perfect, mouth-watering combo of creamy ricotta, melty mozzarella, smoky provolone, roasted garlic, parmesan, and just the right kick of pepper flakes. Total flavor explosion. The crust was crisp and chewy in all the right ways — honestly, I couldn’t stop eating it. New Cascadia knocked it out of the park. If you’re anywhere near Portland and want food that’s both gluten-free and insanely good, this place is where it’s at. I’ll definitely be back for another round!

Delicious and juicy and moist gluten-free bagel! I got the breakfast bagel sandwich and i really felt so grateful to find this place. It’s so rare that you find an actually good gluten-free restaurant where the food tastes like real food… but this place scratches that itch so well and makes me feel so happy. I also got the cinnamon Coffee cake and it was really fluffy and delicious. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best Gluten Free Pizza I have had- look at that bubbly crust! 🤤🤯 I visited here in vacation and am already planning my next trip!

We went there for gluten free meals recommended by some friends. The pizza was really good, and it didn’t taste like any other gluten free ones that we had in the past. We had a chance to chat with the person working who was helpful in explaining different menu items. We went back again so my wife could get pizza one more time. Highly recommended!

Firstly, the bread is phenomenal! As a pastry and sourdough lover, their food is SO good! Their staff are also incredibly kind and take their time with each and every customer, ensuring that you're getting all of the best snacks and not having to rush past anything. Every item is described in detail when asked about and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable about what they are serving! I have heard a lot about this place before going, and expected the establishment to be very expensive due to the quality being so renowned. However, this was not the case! Even the large, fresh loaves were astonishingly reasonable! 10/10 will ABSOLUTELY be returning! **Keep in mind that this is a local and handmade establishment! BE KIND, they're great people! Come here with a little time to spare and a great attitude. As the line will move quickly once you are in it, but can look deceivingly long from outside. **

If you are a sourdough lover you will probably love this place! But I am not and I wish I knew they used sourdough for pretty much everything (or so it seems). Got a baguette and it had strong sourdough flavor. The croissant and pain de suisse also seemed to have a sourdough base… I just didn’t really want the sour taste and wish they would have let me know which pastry uses sourdough and which doesn’t. Who knows maybe all of them do. Also prices are pretty high as is… auto 15% is wild!

This might be the best bakery/boulangerie in Portland! The quality of their flour and wood fired baking truly speaks at every bite. We have tried both savory and sweet pastries along with the baguette - all 10/10. What is more, their espresso drinks are phenomenal and true café quality. The staff is very welcoming. All in all it’s a must go bakery in Portland.

Such a great local bakery. They source local flour and breads are wonderful. The peach brioche was fabulous. I had coffee and purchased a loaf of bread to go! I’ll be back for sure.

Seriously delicious and unique bakery. We had the bagels, passion fruit tart, and mini donuts. All great quality and melt in your mouth. One of my favorite bakeries from our travels. It is expensive but the love and time invested in these baked goods is obvious.

Bought a brioche breakfast and baguette. Tried getting their sandwiches but they were out around 9am. Baked goods were good. Pour over was standard. Coming back to try other baked goods.

They are really really good!!! The baguette was fresh. Crunchy but soft inside and the loafs were nice as well. Good moisture content inside. Perfect to toast or make a sandwich. Pro tip: get a jacket to stand in the queue as it can stretch to outside of store...

This is becoming one of my favorite bakeries in the city!🫶🏼 Great variety of baked goods. I love how they source the best quality ingredients from small local brands like Ranger Chocolate Co. and Jacobsen Salt which makes their products taste extra special✨. The croissant is tender, flaky, and buttery; the brownie is soft and rich; the coffee cake is hearty and indulgent; and the peanut brittle cookie is crispy, chewy and addictive! I‘ve been here twice so far and loved everything I ordered except for the coffee (from Puff) which tastes burnt. Will be back for breads and pretty much every other pastry 👌🏼

I really want to love this bakery because their rustic bread is excellent — when it’s available. Unfortunately, every time I visit, usually around 9-10 AM (a time when it’s supposed to be ready), they’re consistently out of it. What’s most disappointing isn’t just that the bread isn’t ready, but that the staff never make an effort to check when it will be available. Instead of simply walking a few steps to the back or giving an estimate, they just say, “It’s not out yet.” On several occasions, I’ve had to ask multiple people to get even the smallest bit of information. When you ask for something and they give you something else and you go back and return it, they don’t even say simple “ Excuse Me” nor a word of apology. Good customer service isn’t just about having great products — it’s about taking that extra step to help customers. I don’t expect miracles, just a bit of initiative or communication. When I’ve tried to express my frustration, it’s been brushed off, as if I’m the problem for asking. This could easily be a five-star experience if the staff took a little more care to keep customers informed and valued. I hope management pays attention, because the bread really is worth coming for — if only the service matched the quality of the baking. I honestly hope that this place will close their doors to walk-in traffic and continue selling wholesale to other places in town like Providore Food where you interact with more professional and customer service focuced staff.

Hands down the best quality bread in the Portland metro area. It reminds me of what you get at good bakeries in Germany. Two things: 1. Provide reusable (for here) plates, cups, and utensils 2. Open up a downtown Vancouver (WA) location!!

The best baguette outside of France! I don't know how they do it, but these have the wonderful taste and texture of genuine French bread that doesn't dry out overnight. My only wish is that the bakery was open past 2pm at least one day a week, pretty please?! It's so difficult to get to the wonderful bread and other baked delights with such restricted daytime hours.

Bread is excellent , however baguettes are *always* burnt. Pastries are good. The glass case where pastries are displayed almost always have flies around it. Not a good thing in the food industry. An enclosed glass case to prevent that wouldn’t be a bad idea. Service is awful, the male employees are unprofessional and rude. Everyone can have a bad day, but when their bad attitude happens often and with different staff, something needs to be done.

My goodness do they know what they’re doing here! One of the best coffee cakes I’ve ever had. Also in love with the tomato jam breakfast sandwich. Thank you for being a SE neighborhood staple, lil T!

We got a box of pastries including a pound cake, croissants, and a scone. We loved each of them and will be coming back when the weather is better and we’re not walking back with a soggy rain-laden box. Looking forward to trying some breakfast options as well.

fun experience and cute shop! lots of tasty treats to try; will definitely come back for the cheesecake. i didn't end up liking the chocolate cream inside the .. caterpillar? but i'm also not big on cream. the bread was delectably soft though 🤤 drinks and sandwiches are good too!

Best bakery ever! There's so many amazing savery and sweet pastries with things like Japanese curry filling or red bean paste, as well as others with jalapeno and cheese, chocolate coronets, pumpkin with cream cheese, and so many amazing options for so cheap!

Wow.. cant express how good each and every item that I bought was. It reminded me so much of when I went to Japan. I’m glad it’s nearby so I can get my fix! Loved the salt bread, matcha melon pan, and egg cucumber sandwich. I will be back here as soon as I possibly can to try new items and to have some repeats. ☺️

Really good pastries, the tea was delicious too! The facility is clean and staff is so friendly. Could use a bit of decorating, very simple looking café but the food is what matters most and its VERY good.

My favorite place in Portland! The best tasties I’ve ever had!!! I travel all the way from the coast to specially get their an pan and edamame curry pan…. 🤤🤤 like nothing I’ve ever tasted before….its mouth watering and life changing; I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!! TASTY!!!😝

I LOVE THIS PLACE, if you come try their custard filled bread (the one with cute little eyes)! It's to die for! They also have a few selections in the morning for sandwiches priced at about 4.25 for half a tonkatsu and somewhere around $8 for a whole one.

Great (mostly) authentic Japanese bakery goods. Does cater somewhat to American/ethnic tastes for some products without impacting the authentic items and everything tastes great. Their anpan and melonpan are perfect representations of tradition, while the edamame curry donuts are great twists for vegans.

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.

All the workers here were very friendly and helpful but the food was meh. The wonder bun must’ve been days old because it was extremely hard and chewy even though I came in only an hour after opening. The quiche was decent but once again the crust was so hard I couldn’t even finish it. I’ve been to a lot of bakeries in Portland and this just didn’t satisfy, I expected better quality for the price.. probably won’t be back here again :(

Been going to this place for years, but it's been slipping lately. This morning, went in and ordered 4 croissants. Wasn't even busy at the time. Walked out with one of their small bags that was pretty full. Got home and discovered they only gave me 3 croissants (but charged me for 4). Called them up and they offered to refund one of them. Told them I'd prefer the 4th croissant. So, they said they'd set one aside for me. I go back in there to pick it up (which was obviously inconvenient and annoying to begin with) and they acted like I was interrupting them (even though it was their mistake in the first place). In trying to help them out in the future, I pointed out that 3 croissants barely fit in the bag they gave me and, if someone orders 4 croissants, they should put them in a box. The woman at the counter came across like I was being a nuisance. Didn't even apologize for messing up my order and having to come back in. When your pastries are that expensive, you should have better customer service.

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.

Their croissants taste like paper. Expensive! Tastes lke nothing, slightly bland salt flavor with plain vegetable oil grease texture flavorless oil, no butter flavor or smell. No good bread smell. The bag literally has more flavor, l tried it too.

As a savory pastry fan, I’m delighted by this shop. They have extremely tasty pastries. I also love their pain au chocolat. My favorite by far is their quiche. It’s the best I’ve ever had and I have tried everywhere and all over the US.

Sept 2025 Update: stopped by a few weeks ago and was astonished at the very high prices. I’ve been priced out at this shop so won’t be returning. The only reason I was lucky enough to find this place which is a tiny spot on Sandy was because my regular baker is closed for a remodel. Let me tell ya, this place has such delicious chocolate banana muffins they melt in your mouth! Also, the goat cheese and veg quiche is creamy and flavorful. Yummy croissants too. The gal at the counter was so sweet to me two days in a row when I was eager to try new things! My new fave bakery for sure.

Great little coffee shop for breakfast. The egg sandwich teasted great. I also got a London Fog. There are only a few tables, but if you able to sit, it's very cozy. The staff were all friendly.

This has been my go-to bakery for Italian pastries whenever I stop by in Portland. It's a small space but great to pick up something tasty on the go. Good coffee too.

Don’t sleep on this place! Bella’s is legit one of Portland’s gems! Quality ingredients and products. Sweet or savory…they got you. Coffee drinks are on point. Frankly…I don’t need anything else for my weekend splurge (or weekday, or both)….take my money Bella’s. I will be returning often. Oh…I ordered the ham and cheese cornetto and a cappuccino. Fire. Took home a variety of pastries. Impossible to choose.

Bella's is the best thing about Portland. I live far from her but I will go way out of my way to go to Bella's for her pastries, coffee, pizza dough, etc.. I've been a fan of everything Michelle has crafted since her Farmer's Market/traveling catering days and she's only flourished in every way since then. I'm sitting enjoying my breakfast of all my fan favorites and had to express my gratitude in this moment cause it's just the best stuff I've ever consumed. God bless this gorgeous establishment!

Dear Bella, You made our first time so special! We got a little tour and a "welcome!" from all who helped us. For those who are looking for a little nibble for lunch, try the Veggie Pie. Yummy and perfect size for 2 people for our little lunch needs. (Sandos looked GREAT). Cool/healthy spin on pizza if I do say. (Comes in slices, half, or full. Full could feed 2 looking for a little more lunch). Little Treat: Two cannoli (FANTASTIC and probably best in Portland). Our Lobster Tail was so good! (had it the next day) I'll finish saying that we probably could have eaten everything in the store, because everything was fresh and looked great! Coffee: Delicious. Staff: Adorable, kind, and happy. Would recommend. Love, Us

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.

The pastries were fantastic. There were a lot of choices I haven't seen since moving to the west coast. I will definitely be coming back to try some other items and pre-order some holiday treats.

Didn’t know I loved macarons until I tried one from Farina Bakery! It was really hard to choose just one from the delicious flavors they offer. I tried the horchata macaron and the mini marionberry poptart. YUM. The poptart was a perfect balance of sweet and tart from the berries and it was truly a taste of Oregon. The macaron had the classic soft-chewy texture with delicious toasted cinnamon flavor. There was plenty of seating inside and I loved the wall murals and colorful decorations. It was not crowded at 11am on a Sunday but a lot of the baked goods behind the glass were already gone, so I’d recommend visiting earlier in the morning. I also had a cup of English Breakfast tea which paired nicely with my treats. A macaron, a poptart, and a cup of tea all for just $10! I will be back to try more soon!

Super cute & clean location with lots of yummy options and places to sit or work on things. Whether dining in or getting it delivered, it’s always packaged/presented with such care. I highly recommend the cream puff or the animal cookie macaron. The staff was nice as well. Julia went above and beyond to make it a great experience and was so helpful! I highly recommend this bakery.

Super cozy spot in the neighborhood with delightful pastries options. Came on an evening where there was live jazz. The musicians were amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

The selection looks amazing. The macarons are well made. The creampuff and cheese cake was delicious. Unfortunately, the frosting was a heavy, dense buttery flavor.I couldn't eat half of the cupcake as it broke apart and all that was left was a pile of the unflattering frosting. I'd stick with the other items and definitely the macarons.

I ordered a dozen cupcakes easily through their online menu. It was clearly communicated that any edits or additions must be submitted 48 hours before the pick up or delivery date. I emailed them to add another dozen cupcakes and they responded quickly, invoiced me and made the payment process easy. All the guests loved the cupcakes. I got specific compliments on both the cake and frosting. I will absolutely order from Farina again.

Yum! There are some really good gluten free options here. The cream puff was amazing! Macaroons were really good. Only in street parking.

AMAZING! I ordered a custom cake for my husbands birthday and it was absolutely perfect. Everyone I interacted with by phone and email was great and the process was so easy. I sent a few inspiration photos and the cake design was spot on. The taste was amazing, one of the best chocolate cakes we’ve ever had. We loved the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate ganache. Could not recommend more! My only issue now is that I live across the country from this bakery because I want to try everything!

This place is a Gem! What do they say? Great things come in small packages! Owners are amazing as well. Location is so small for the amount of customers that they get hopefully they can eventually get a bigger space. I knew there was going to be a line when we had gone but I was not expecting that type of line where it wrapped around the corner! While in line there was a local who apparently hates how us “outsiders” come just because we heard about them on social media. The whole time she was trying to convince us to go to a different place. “It wasn’t worth waiting in line just for a couple things”. yet…She waited in line? I wasn’t about to listen to her crazy nonsense! Plus I was already committed. There was no way she was gonna convince me to leave and I’m glad I didn’t. Their pastries were amazing. I can’t wait to come back and have some more next time. I plan on spending more than what I did just cause it was that good ! I would highly recommend. And if I were you, don’t think one hour won’t make a difference it sure does if you can help it. Be there when they open. otherwise, that person that local person will take that last damn chocolate croissant.!

The pastries are indeed delicious, but the wait was quite long. I arrived around 8:30, and there were already at least 20 people in line. It took about 35 minutes before I finally got my order…Pairing it with a coffee from Either/Or next door was the perfect combo!

This little bakery in Portland is filled with delicious treats and sweet surprises. The standout for me was definitely the carrot cake — rich, moist, and layered perfectly with smooth cream cheese frosting. The hazelnuts added just the right touch of texture and flavor. The croissants, though buttery, were a bit too flaky for my taste. I prefer mine to hold together instead of crumbling everywhere. Flavor felt a bit over baked. Golden brown please 🙏 The price point leans on the higher side, so be prepared to spend a little more — but if you appreciate quality pastries, it’s worth the treat. Overall: Good spot for desserts, especially the carrot cake. 🥕

Fantastic! The awards are well deserved. We sampled a wide range of the offerings, and they were all top notch (and good coffee to boot). The line wasn't too long on a Friday morning at 8am, maybe 20 minutes. But it would be worth an even longer wait. Definitely will make it a point to get over there, this is a gem.

I’m so glad you were my Google suggestion when I searched bakeries! Croissants will never be the same & the bar has been raised. I can honestly say I’ve never seen one that was bigger than my hand. Thought I would eat a part of it & save the rest, but I couldn’t stop! Your cases look beautiful, clean & service was exceptional! I could have eaten them all. I’ll be back next time I’m in Portland.

I recommend arriving early as it does get very busy. We had the chocolate croissant and cinnamon orange morning bun. Both were so delicious. We also had the coconut passion fruit dessert and it was so light. Very flavorful.

- Twice Baked Pistachio Raspberry Croissant: Might be the best croissant I’ve ever had. The croissant needs no introduction. But to be able to stay flaky, toasty, and crisp after having the pistachio paste has been applied on the bread is beyond me. The stronger flavor of the two, will be the raspberry due to the tartness from the fruits and jam-like syrup. Not to worry, there is plenty of pistachio to be had, from the raw paste inside the croissant, the paste baked on top of the croissant, and nuts as garnish. The baked nuts bring a nutty, toasty flavor, though few, so savor every bite you get with them. The balance of the flavors, with each component bringing different ‘flavor bombs’, paired with the OG Jinju croissant is every pistachio x croissant lovers dream. 9.2/10 - Pumpkin Pie Tart: A piece of art, made with attention to detail. The pumpkin was well balanced in texture with the right amount of ‘mush’, without making the breadcrumb soggy. The flavor of the pumpkin pie was rich with cinnamon. There’s a crust layered underneath the pumpkin, and it’s almost like a toffee crust? I couldn’t quite identify what it was, but it made every bite explode with different texture and flavor. One critique would be that the cream was a bit overwhelming. I think for most people, it’s fine, but for me, I had to leave some left over. 9/10 - Butter Croissant: A staple. If I could get one every week, I would. This croissant is so flaky & crispy on the outside, with a velvety, warm, soft feel on the inside. Again, it seems like the overlying theme with the pastries that are baked and served here is a perfect balance in texture and flavor. No one texture or flavor is front and center, but they all work as a team to build a great experience in every bite that is rare to find. 10/10

Cute decor but sad to drive an hour for food not worth the hype. We tried 3 things the peach, the Christmas tree thing and the bus rose. They all pretty much taste the same. Very heavy on the whipping cream. Almost little to none of the flavors advertised. Maybe if the fruit filling hadn't been frozen so hard we barely could barely get a fork through it, than maybe that would've added to the over all flavor. Very pretty, but not as tasty as it looks. And the boys at the counter couldn't have seemed less pleased to be here.

This is definitely a hype-beast influencer type place. I have to agree with the reviews here. Depending on when you visit, it’s a hit and miss. During this visit, the employers were super nice and inviting but the parking sucks. There are a lot of cool shops around the area, so walking from a couple of blocks down is okay and recommended. I did like that the place was clean and the theme of the place, but the prices did not fit the taste for me. They did look super fun and cool, but the prices are not matching the hype. I give it a 5 out of 5 for Uniqueness and we do need more places like this in Oregon, but there’s still something missing. Their target audience definitely is teenage and younger people.

I'll admit that I got suckered in by the hype of this place, and am a little disappointed I didn't research the fruit pastries more closely. We purchased the mango tango and the dark chocolate with raspberry. The mousse was dense, but nothing special (for those from the Southeast, the dark chocolate tasted very similar to a chocolate mousse pie), and the mango was super tart. We purchased two of the brulee slices- OG and Oreo. They were... Ok. Texture of the actual cheesecake was good but the brulee aspect fell flat. The crust was also heavy and dry, lacking the crispness associated with a luxurious bite of decadent cheesecake. Lastly, we purchased one of each type of the offered cookies for the day-Ube, white chocolate, and chocolate chip. These were probably the best offered desserts, especially the ube, but once again... I left feeling a little lackluster over the experience. Despite the food being a letdown, the service was exceptional. If you are not a native to Portland, I'd bypass this place due to limited parking, fighting traffic getting in and out of the city, and avoiding being a victim of over hyped food.

I have been here before a long time ago and it was great so I brought my kid. We loved our cakes the Marion berry cheesecake was the best. I thought I'd like the berry rose one best but it was too rich for me! I put the one I got from my previous trip on here as well it is the one on the white plate. The plate upgrade was wicked cute. Not in love with tip prompt then bus your own table and the water is out- if there is no service involved, tips shouldn't be a thing IMO.

Not sure. By the time I opened to give it a try the Mango Tango and Georgia Peach were both completely melted. Wished I had known or was told they would melt otherwise I would had eaten them right away. I did however got to eat the Japanese Cloud Nine pastry and it was pretty fluffy and tasty.

This place is adorable, but it's a tourist trap. The desserts were beautifully made, but terrible and lacked flavor. The mango one wasn't edible and far too tart. The ube cheesecake had the coloring down, but lacked ube flavoring/flavoring in general, and the cloud one tasted like a fluffy bagel with whatever was sandwhiches together with it. The flower wall and pink chairs were the best part.

Excellent. A little pricey at $10 a pastry but it was delicious. Read the descriptions and choose what you would normally eat flavor wise. They also have savory options and good coffee.

I guess I adore chopped sandwiches now! Or you know what? I adore Dos Hermanos bread, because that’s really what was doing the heavy lifting on each of the three sandwiches we got and sampled. Unless you’re feeding a family of four the half sandwich is more than enough. We love the spice on the Italian sub (BadaBing). Spice lovers, I suggest you get some jalapeño chips if you don’t get a sandwich that has something spicy or zesty. We had no problem eating our sandwiches in the air conditioned bar next-door, it was a hot day and the café was really really warm. The guy in the bar next-door was super kind and accommodating and said we didn’t have to buy anything to eat there, (tho we did). Can’t wait to come back here!

Incredible!! The CHOPPED SANDWICHES!!! so rare in portland and they are amazing. Obviously the bread and pastries were great. I loved the space too. Service was fantastic. I’m such a big fan you will see me here often!

Came here after seeing they won Best of Willamette 2025 – Best Bakery. I tried the chopped sandwich — the portion was generous and the flavor was quite good. I also picked up a chocolate croissant; it leaned more toward a bread-like texture rather than the super flaky, layered style. That really just comes down to personal preference. The staff were friendly and the dining space is simple and casual. If you’re a sandwich fan, you’ll likely really enjoy this spot.

This chop sandwich was incredible on the sesame sead roll. It's a huge portion a full sandwich it plenty for two too share. Great balance of flavors. Good service from happy people. Worth checking out.

I really like their bread but I haven't dialed in my favorite chopped sandwich here. I also wish the bread was toasted. The whole sandwiches are gigantic!!! --- sandwiches --- These are at around a 4 star for me right now Cochinita pibil ⭐⭐⭐✨ - typically like Cochinita pibil, but this was just ok for me, maybe I just dont love it in a sandwich or it needed more vegetables - I like the habanero salsa with this tho BLTA⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This is good but won't blow your mind - it tastes better toasted as a leftover because the cheese melts and it's amazing, the bacon also gets crispier --- bread --- Sour dough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - not too sour but really delicious and good texture

Magnetic aroma wafting out the entrance Display of over 20 different Mexican and French pastries DH breakfast sandwich on fresh baked ciabatta, with bacon and chimichurri Very clean and freshly remodeled bathroom

I had a very delicious almond croissant here. I would highly recommend this place! They seem to have a lot of other great food options too, and there was plenty of seating. It smelled so delicious when I walked in the door too and like a place that serves very fresh baked goods overall.
