Each pastry is a meal in itself because they are large and dense. It was a joy to eat, great "tear", many dense layers, and tasty chocolate. Worth every bite.

Love the place but absolutely no place to park anywhere near. Just one space in front of the store. For neighborhood people who can walk or bike there. Too bad as the food is great.

So glad an amazing bread bakery opened one block from my apartment.My partner is celiac and there is absolutely no gluten inside the house. I have been known to make sweet&sour cabbage soup and then run down to the bakery to buy a fresh (and still warm) baguette to enjoy with it while I sit on the front stoop.Incredible croissants (all of them). The challah, focaccia, sourdough, and rye are great too. ( I just now realized how often I go).I used to make my own sourdough breads but obviously had to give them up when I fell in love with my partner. Barack said if that ever changed, he would get me some sourdough starter. Such a nice guy.

I dream about this bread. It's perfect. I lived in NYC prior to moving to Portland, and I would put this up against the best of anything there. The pastries are also excellent, although they are usually sold out by the time I get there. This place is a real gem, and it's clear that Barack's obsession with his craft has led to something special.

Great spot in the west end. I go here typically on the weekends for a quick breakfast and a coffee, the baked goods are amazing! The staff is really friendly and the minimalist but warm atmosphere is very welcoming.
These are the best croissants I have ever had, and I have eaten (too) many croissants in many different places, including Portland. They are perfectly buttery, perfectly flaky, and the fillings are top notch. You can't go wrong with any of them, but the ham+cheese and pain au chocolat are my personal favorites. This is the only place I've found in the US where the chocolate tastes like it does in Europe. Get there right at 9am to ensure you get a warm croissant right out of the oven.

The whole wheat bread was delicious. The challah rolls were so good like a cross between a parker house roll and a challah roll. Can’t wait to try more.

Simply the best chocolate croissants and croissants in Portland and probably on the entire East Coast. I grew up in Paris and their chocolate croissants are some of the best ones I've ever had.Their bread is great as well. They have good and friendly service!Fair warning, they do run out of items fairly quickly and are on the pricier side but it is 100% worth it.
