We just moved to town about two and a half weeks ago. Between packing, unpacking, and questioning all my life choices, I was exhausted and very much not cooking. Someone mentioned a bakehouse downtown—cue angels singing—except… it was closed. Tragic.
BUT! It opened the very next day. So my three minis and I marched ourselves down there immediately, and with that said, I’m fairly certain I am now one of their first customers every single Thursday morning. It’s basically a tradition at this point. I’m terrible with names, but I will always remember Brien—mostly because he’s usually the one ringing me up and witnessing my complete inability to choose just one thing. Where do I even begin? Everything bagel bruschetta bombs. Cheese straws (my absolute FAVORITE). Cream cheese strudels. Snickerdoodles. Handmade hand pies. Fresh bear claws. And my current obsession: jalapeño cheddar sour bread so warm it’s still steaming. I mean… come on. 🥰 All silliness aside, this bakery clearly pours their heart and soul into every single baked good—and you can taste it. Everything is fresh, thoughtfully made, and dangerously delicious. I tell myself I can’t come every Thursday… but let’s be honest, it’ll probably be pretty close.
And before I forget—seasonal goodies! If you don’t want to bake at home, they’ve got you covered with Christmas cookie boxes, pies you can take home, homemade pot pies, and so much more. The list truly goes on, my friends.
Do yourself a favor and stop by. You’ll be supporting local, meeting genuinely lovely people, and leaving with baked goods that will absolutely ruin you for anything store-bought. Highly recommend.

I would give 100 stars if it would allow. This is our absolute favorite bakery. We drive from St. Helens just to come here. I have never gotten anything out of here that hasn't tasted awesome. I recommend everyone supports this bakery. Not to mention the owner and workers are all always very friendly.

The Guinness Beef Stew Pot Pie is not only the greatest Pot Pie I've ever eaten, it's one of the few times that food has brought me to tears. better than almost any dining experience I ever had in my many years as a chef in Portland.
Service was prompt and courteous with an air of appreciation for customers (a rarity in the town of Rainier for sure)
A friendly, homey atmosphere with an abundace of products that had me want to continue shopping. This place is really great and I hope them many more years of continued success

Finally a five star bakery near Kelso!! Triple five star ⭐️ bakery owners were more than pleasant the baked goods are just what you would expect from a fine bakery. They kept the prices down compared to the “city” Love the small town bakery vibe it had going also.

I got a carrot cake for my friends birthday and all 4 of us agreed it was the best carrot cake we have ever had. Staff was very nice and offered to set the cake aside for me as I would be picking up the next day. Such a warm and friendly environment. I cannot wait to go back and try more.

[ ] Ham and cheese pocket- good, but after eating the jalapeno popper this one was kind of lackluster. [ ] Jalapeno popper pocket- very tasty, good kick, excellent pastry. Both pockets had a great pastry. I'd get this one again. [ ] Carrot cake scrappie- Whitney seemed to enjoy this. She ate the entire thing so it couldn't have been bad! [ ] Apple hazelnut snack cake with toffee buttercream- don't need again. Didn't carry a ton of flavor. [ ] Lemon gingersnap molasses cookie - so good! I didn't get a ton of lemon but the zippy lemon glaze complimented the cookie so well. If absolutely get this again. [ ] Caramel cinnamon roll- good cinnamon roll. Not the best we've had but very enjoyable. I'd get another. [ ] Choc chip cookie - good cookie. Nothing earth shattering but worth getting.

The Columbia Bakehouse is, without a doubt, the best bakery in the entire county. Their bread is excellent—freshly made in-house—and their pastries highlight local ingredients combined with top-tier culinary skill. The result is a selection of delicious, beautiful treats one would expect to find in a Parisian shop.
Functioning as both a pâtisserie and a boulangerie, this bakery is one of Columbia County’s best-kept secrets. The owners are warm, generous, and truly deserving of their outstanding reputation (as well as their frequent sellouts!).
A must-stop if you are anywhere in the area.
