Grand Central Bakery - Mississippi cafe

Most AMAZING 👏🏽 🤩 ✨️ 🙌🏽 😍 magical place. My friends and I meet there 3 days a week. For laughter, bonding, love, friendship, stories, great food, beverages, and an amazing atmosphere. We are so welcomed and free to enjoy ourselves and have the most beautiful time while we are together.

Salami Focaccia 10/10 ( olives , meat, bread and the cheese ) , 10/10 pecan pull apart ( sweet and crispy). delicious breakfast food with a chill place to hang / work.

Get a cinnamon roll and coffee and sit on the patio on a summer day for the start of a perfect Portland Sunday.

A nice experience

Asian customers want coffee too.

First of all, I want to say how much I love this bakery. It has been my favorite in the U.S. for many years, and I always look forward to visiting whenever I can. The quality of your food and the warm atmosphere consistently bring me joy.

My husband and I recently visited the Cedar Mill location for Mother’s Day brunch. We both ordered regular coffee, but the self-service pot was empty. I let a staff member know and waited for a new pot to be brewed. While I was still waiting, my husband returned to our table with a fresh cup of coffee. He told me that an employee made it for him using the espresso machine.

While I understand how busy they must have been that morning, I couldn’t help but feel it was unfair that he received his coffee much more quickly through special assistance while I continued to wait. It may have been a simple coincidence, but I hope that all customers are treated with the same level of service and care. I want to gently mention that I’m Asian and my husband is Caucasian. This may not have been a factor, but I felt it was important to share my perspective.

I’m sharing this feedback not to complain but in the hope that it can lead to greater awareness. I truly appreciate this wonderful bakery.

Atmosphere and service was fine but the lattes are just flavored milk. I doubt there's even espresso in these.

Ordered a sandwich, one of the modifications was wrong. Went back to fix it, everything was fine and sandwich would be remade free of charge.

However, while I was there, I heard the employee making it mocking me for ordering the sandwich with the modification (removing one topping, nothing else) to another employee. Absolutely absurd to have someone make fun of you out loud, at work, such that I could hear it from across the restaurant.

Placed an online order for a breakfast sandwich and a loaf of sourdough bread. Both were delicious!

This is the Bakery to go to! All of their Baked goods are made with Happiness and Love! Staff is very Friendly and take pride in their job! Yumminess in a box with Berry Cream cheese danish - Pecan Roll & Cinnamon Roll. Pastries were AMAZING!

Got some Bread Bowls to use for soup and was not disappointed! Highly recommended to grab some Bread or A Sweet Treat! They also serve lunch items. Seating inside and on patio.

Parking: Only a few spots to park. Wasn't too busy and didn't have trouble finding parking.
