In times of uncertainty and crisis, boxes of buttery pastries, towering fruit tarts, and sweet little cookies can offer a bright spot and a brief escape. Portland’s pastry scene has always been a national leader, using locally milled, diverse grain flours for cakes, scones, and breads; however, many bakeries have gotten even more creative out of necessity. On this map, find the city’s most noteworthy pastry shops for freshly baked pastries like croissants, sweets like cookies, and patisserie. Note that this map focuses exclusively on bakeries with a wide range of offerings, skipping spots that exclusively specialize in bagels, doughnuts, and pizza — you can find those on their own maps. Also, pastry aficionados can often find stellar breads and baked goods available through storefront-free subscription programs like Starter Bread.

Note: Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Oyatsupan Bakers

Copy Link

When it first opened in 2016, Oyatsupan brought traditional Japanese baking to the outskirts of Portland. Today, it still serves some of the best Japanese sweet and savory pastries like kare pan (a soft bread boat filled with Japanese curry), castella donuts, and jiggly Japanese cheesecake. Those seeking lightly sweet, fluffy shokupan will also find those here, either in the form of whole loaves or sliced for Japanese-style egg salad sandwiches.

Ken's Artisan Bakery

Copy Link

Nationally celebrated baker Ken Forkish developed a reputation for the breads at this neighborhood artisan bakery he founded: Loaves are dark and crusty, with an airy crumb and subtle tang from sourdough starters. Although Forkish has since retired, the bakery on Northwest 21st continues to serve standout laminated pastries, like its goat-cheese-and-leek croissant or its passionfruit escargot.

Baker & Spice | Cakery

Copy Link

Baker & Spice’s the Cakery is entirely devoted to creating jaw-dropping custom cakes, offering a wide range of cake and frosting flavor combinations but also selling cookbooks, cake stands, and tools dedicated to the art of cake making. For those looking for delicious baked goods beyond cake, head next door to its cafe, Baker & Spice, where you’ll find a selection of croissants and other morning treats. Both are open for walk-ups and online pre-order.

Jen's Pastries

Copy Link

Open only on Saturdays, this South Portland bakery serves a constantly rotating slate of laminated pastries, tarts, bars, and cakes. Owner Jenna Legge supplies several Portland coffee shops with her cookies, rolls, and bolos levedo, semi-sweet Portuguese rolls similar to English muffins. Any pastry involving seasonal fruit is often a smart move — strawberry tiramisu with orange blossom in the summer, spiced apple Pop-Tart-style turnovers in the fall — but the laminated pastry cinnamon roll is always a stunner, any time of year.

606 S Dakota St, Portland, OR 97239

Jinju Patisserie

Copy Link

For those in the mood for fancier pastries, Jinju Patisserie always delivers. Jinju’s pastry chefs are Las Vegas expats, and this showmanship is evident in desserts like towering fruit tarts, silky mousse layer cakes, and jewelry-like bonbons. That being said, Jinju is also home to one of the city’s finest croissants. Savory pastry fans may prefer the ham, bacon, and cheese croissant, topped with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

St. Beatrix

St. Beatrix — formerly Bushel & Peck Bakeshop — offers creative pastries like miso-caramel and passionfruit-sesame croissants, flower-adorned layer cakes, and savory scones, quiches, and sandwiches. Some of Bushel & Peck’s highlights remain on the menu, however, like its supremely flaky biscuits. Customers can order ahead or walk up for takeout.

Berlu Vietnamese Bakery

Copy Link

In 2019, chef Vince Nguyen opened his highly anticipated Berlu, a fine-dining spot featuring a mix of classical French fine-dining techniques and Pacific Northwestern cuisine. He’s since pivoted to a more Vietnamese-tinged tasting menu in the evenings, and a day-time bakery offering goodies like pandan waffles and crepe cakes, tarts filled with tamarind custard and lychee, and his take on bánh bò nướng, a Vietnamese rice cake with a honeycomb crumb. All baked goods are gluten-free. Berlu is only open on Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Seastar Bakery

Copy Link

This Killingsworth bakery uses Pacific Northwestern flours and Oregon produce in its flavorful breads, chewy cookies, and ultra-flaky cinnamon rolls, but what really sets Seastar apart is its use of savory herbs and spices in its baked goods — we’re talking sage in a glaze on a molasses cookie, or turmeric in a moist muffin. Another bonus: Seastar shares a space and team with Handsome Pizza, which means visits can also often involve some of the city’s finest pizza.

Credit goes to Pix Patisserie for coming up with the most socially-distanced, convenient way to abate sugar cravings at any hour of the day. Owner Cheryl Wakerhauser refurbished a 20-year-old vending machine, only to fill it with Pix’s signature macarons, mousses, truffle cakes, and even party favors like sparklers and cocktail mixers.

Little T Baker

Tucked in a quiet nook away from Southeast Division’s main hustle and bustle, Little T Baker specializes in crave-worthy pastries: flaky croissants, seasonal fruit tarts, and chocolate chip cookies studded with giant chunks of molten chocolate. The real draw of Little T, however, is its crusty baguette, one of the city’s finest.

Tabor Bread

Copy Link

For years, Tabor Bread has been leading the charge when it comes to sourcing Oregon-grown, freshly milled flours for its sourdough pastry. Founder Tissa Stein follows the dogma of pioneering baker Alan Scott, which means many of the pastries here use whole-grain flours, which end up in tangy, slow-fermented breads, bagels, danishes, and more. Tabor is also one of the few spots baking single-grain breads, from einkorn to spelt.
