Never had a better pastry anywhere 1/5/2010

I love that this place is close to work. Up until I went to Baker and Spice I never had had a pastry that didn't make me just a little sick afterward because its so sweet and artificial. Not the case here. Everything is so fresh and not over processed. Their crumb cake is fantastic and any of their hand pies are to die for. Completely flaky with fililng that actually tastes like real fruit. Go figure! The service has always been really friendly. When they are busy, their baristas run slower than say the Starbucks next door so I'll usually go with drip or tea if I'm in a hurry. Please check them out. You Won't be dissapointed. Pros: pastries are amazing Cons: hard to find a table sometimes when busy more

Too Good to Miss 10/8/2009

It;s a bakery. Go for the bread, if nothing else. Their daily loaf is fabulous for everything from sandwiches to garlic bread. Their baguette is toothy, crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside and delicious. Eat it fast though or else plan to use it for french toast. Pros: Delicious everything from breads to coffees and lunch too Cons: Very crowded on weekends but worth the wait more

Am I in Paris or Portland? 2/6/2009

This is the best bakery this side of Paris (France). Bread, cookies, pies, croissants, sandwiches coffee....all are amazing. The Hillsdale Sourdough bread is very much like the Poillainer Bread made in France. The coconut cream tart is and sweet and melts in your mouth. Parking is a little tight during peak hours...but that is the only possible drawback. more

Excellent coffee and delicious pastries! 3/4/2008

I love going to this bakery! The coffee is delicious and when you walk in you're greeted with the most wonderful scents of baked goods. The pastries, breads, etc are all incredibly good and even though Baker & Spice is super busy on the weekends it is well worth the wait. The service is great too, and it really seems that the people working at Baker & Spice enjoy their jobs. Pros: Great value, tastey coffee, yummy treats, lunch available, comfortable setting area Cons: Busy on weekends, but worth the wait more

They are bakery magicians! 2/20/2007

visiting Baker & Spice I can only wonder how they can do it all: luscious cakes (try the flourless or the pink!), artisan breads (some of the best ciabatta in portland), pies on the weekends, homemade super-rich hot chocolate, and a pastry case that would put many of portland's bakeries to shame. plus its all made on site, from scratch, from locally grown and/or organic products. (its nice to buy food and know what its made of!) of course, take one look behind the counter and you will see a dozen or so employee's working like crazy in the bustling bakery (they do look like they are enjoying it)-------so that must be it. Pros: open air seating, hot chocolate, always something new, the semolina Cons: popularity leads to a bit of a wait, no trans fats (joke!), no out-of-season fruits (try something new!) more

Like the pastries , but not the attitude 1/21/2007

I've gone to baker and spice a few times by now, and while I have enjoyed some of their pastries, oftentimes whether in the beginning of day or afternoon, when I request a menu item such as soup, they have already run out and don't seem to offer to make any more. Same with the sandwiches. It's generally hard to find seating because it's so busy in a small (homestyle setting). When I had once asked with kindess if I could speak with the owner/baker she was not very polite back and stated that she did not have the time to speak with me. So some of the staff can be rude at times. But most of the counter service people have been friendlier than that. Try one of their croissants or danishes. more

Truly Amazing Pastry & Bread, Made with a Real Love for Food 8/6/2006

Baker & Spice is run by Julie, a woman who's heart is in every pastry, cake and loaf they make. Soups, salads, sandwiches. Croissants, cookies. Amazing layer cakes. Their challah is devine, best in the city. The bakery crew are creative and passionate about what they do, which comes through in the pleasant variety available everyday. The people are great, the food is amazing, and the space is bright and entertaining. A must. Pros: variety, tasty treats, great view of the kitchen Cons: busy, end of day variety can be sparse, closed monday more
