My husband ordered the passion fruit tart and a salted caramel macaroon. He said they were delicious! I ordered an oat milk latte that was wonderful.

A truly wonderful bakery! We had the almond croissants and a special Danish pastry with blueberries and another with strawberries – everything was absolutely delicious. For my return flight, I picked up a bacon quiche, which turned out to be excellent as well. I’ll definitely stop by again the next time I’m in Portland!

I feel like I’ve known Ken for years even though I’ve never met him. I became obsessed with pizza and bread making years ago and Ken’s books were given to me as a gift as I started out. To finally eat at his bakery was amazing. Very fun to eat the recipes in the book (as well as lots of amazing pastries). Definitely recommend a visit if you’re in town.

Delicious food with extremely kind staff despite it being a packed dining room during a rush. Food and pastry made the little bit of a wait worth it.

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).
