Little T American Baker

My favorite Portland bakery for the traditional stuff.
Best brownie 10/10.
Croissant, and croissant adjacents 9.5/10.
Favorite unique item is the masa baguette.
Best vanilla latte in town too! (Not too sweet).

Love their seasonal offerings too (delicata squash and caramelized onion hand pie!)
And love how they offer holiday items to order in advance.

Love how the team seems to work well together and have fun. Nice, efficient cashier is always a pleasure to order from.

Lovely convenient location, always playing jams (think Motown), only thing not 5/5 is that the place is a little small, not the best for groups to sit and eat, but still .... Amazing place.

Absolutely delicious savory handpie. I also loved the samples of spelt-currant bread I tasted. Apparently the bakery makes this bread every Friday, so sometime soon I’ll have to come in on a Friday and buy a full loaf.

At first I thought it was overpriced, but once I tasted the food I knew it was worth it. All pastries are superb. The croissant was soo flaky and flavorful. The staff was very friendly. Adding to the hip atmosphere was the great songs pumped through the building. If I wasn’t just visiting I would probably go here almost every day.

We went the day after Christmas, so perhaps they weren't making anything fresh. The shortbread cookies were stale, and tasted like lard. Really awful.

I grabbed a peppermint mocha from Little American Bakery, and it was fantastic! Perfectly balanced flavors and ideal for a quick grab-and-go treat. Highly recommend!

Fantastic bread, great staff. It's not about atmosphere but atmosphere is roomy and appropriate for the type of business!

Been my favorite bakery for a very long time. I only wish I could eat their ham and cheese croissants daily (and that they made more so they didn’t run out of them before 10am.) love love love Little T.

Bread is good. Staff, esp one particular guy is always a cold asshole. Doesn't even say thank you. Prime example of what is giving PDX service industry its poor reputation

Its as if AI made a coffee shop bakery. And all the cold calculation of hyper commercial service. No one could care to be bothered. The place was a mess the prices too high coffee average and the whole reason i went there was to try the croissant ...and that was almost burnt oily crumbly mess.
On top of the pretense, they serve everything togo, to maximize waste?

This could be a super great spot, awesome location to chill and be social but for the unwelcome energy, if you go, don't stay.

Fresh-baked, delicious bread with amazingly good butter. Crunchy, flakey pastry in cute, Portland-style cafe surroundings. Well worth your time - but the earlier the better, because they often run out of the good stuff later in the day!

Coming from Germany this place is heaven - best bread options I had in the US ever ? we had the ham and cheese pretzel and the Lox bread as well as the zucchini bread and a ham gruyère croissant. Everything 10/10!

Borderline hostile service. The man working the lunch shift on Sunday was so cranky I was scared to order. Even though I was being charged $15 for a small sandwich. At that rate, I expect a smile.
