Maybe it’s being 7 months pregnant, but the Ken’s Hero sandwich and chocolate chip cookie I had today were seriously amazing. So delicious! Definitely coming back here ASAP for the exact same order!

Top of the bread chain! Ethereal croissants, baguettes with nearly perfect crusts, walnut bread that you want to savor till it's gone. Lunchtime crowds are an issue with so much goodness and so few tables.

Cute place with great focaccia bread and canele! This is the only place I found canele in Portland, after craving the ones we had in Paris! My only tip for them would be to take them out of the oven a tad bit earlier- the focaccia and the canele were both a bit more dark than I would have preferred

Excellent bread, regular pastries, some waiting. I love Ken’s book and since I was in town I wanted to try his bread. I went around 10am and there was a little line from outside the shop to enter the bakery and had to wait 15-20 before buying. The kitchen is open so you can look how the breads and other pastries are made while waiting. The inside was a bit boring it could use some remodel but was quiet and with enough sitting. I ordered a country blonde loaf and some pastries: palmier and chocolate croissant, the croissant was good and the palmier a bit hard. On the other hand, the bread was really good, just how I imagined the complex taste of the dark crust with a soft crumb. If you go there for the bread like me, it totally worth the waiting.

Holy crap...soooo many options and they all look and smell amazing! I got the Ham, thyme, gruyere croissant and it was amazing. Flaky, salty, savory, great way to start my morning!

I stumbled on this bakery just as it opened. Nothing fancy as a restaurant but OMG your senses are overwhelmed with the heady smell of fresh warm bread the second you enter. I ordered a croissant and a cup of coffee. The coffee is good but the croissant was close to perfection. Warm, crust that shatters as you bite into its soft buttery insides. Heaven!

What an incredible spot! Amazing customer service and ample selections of homemade pastries with local ingredients. A very popular location—there was a line out the door nearly the entire morning. The staff handled the hustle and bustle with grace and poise! Arrive early if you hope to snag a table (especially one by the window).

This place should absolutely have 5 stars!!! We are so blessed to have a place like this in Portland. Ken absolutely knows what he’s doing, & he’s phenomenon at it!!!! Wouldn’t hurt to have a second location in Portland ?

Ken’s Artisan Bakery is a little slice of heaven! The pastries are always fresh, buttery, and flaky, and their bread is to die for. I’m never disappointed, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. A must-visit in Portland!

Quick lunch with the wife. Grabbed some sandwiches, which were very good. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. What warmed my heart is they gave the bread away at the end of the day. I'm not sure where it ended up, but a woman was there to pick it up. Stop in and give them a try.
