Reviews for Ken's Artisan Bakery in Portland, OR
Loved it. Will certainly go back. Friendly customer service, easy area to walk in, many shops nearby. Ken's has very curious... baked items such as the Oregon Berry Croissant. I will have to try that one next time. Read more
Great pastries! We had the Goat Leek and the Ham, Thyme, Gruyere Croissants. Both were delicious! Would definitely order them... again. The coffee was also delicious along with their hazelnut shortbread cookies. Read more
Great find. We were visiting Portland and stopped in very hungry one morning and ordered half the pastry menu. The quiche was... the best I?ve ever had and I loved how hearty of a portion it was. I?ve been a bread baker for 10 years with a considerableamount of experience in laminated doughs. I really enjoyed the dough here, as it?s used in the morning bun and other pastries.The croissant seemed overproofed, to me, because the croissants didn?t have an intense crisp on the exterior I often look for.However, I loved the darker bake. Brings forward better flavor. The almond croissant was conceptually really nice butunfortunately the filling was a miss for me. Really strong alcohol vanilla flavor. I LOVED the ground almonds, though, I justthink Amaretto liquor or a good quality almond extract would make them next level. The morning bun was good but the amount ofzest seemed safe to me which makes sense because I think it?s baked into the dough rather than traditionally buttered and tossedin an orange sugar. Still pretty good though. I had just had one at Tartine last month so it?s hard to compete with that! Thewoman serving us was lovely and told us when morning buns were right out of the oven so we could get one. Coffee wasawesome. Will definitely be in again next time we?re in Portland :) Read more

Warm and cozy and oh so yummy! We love a good pastry day. I would only say, maybe get coffee somewhere else.
Was pleasantly surprised! I really love anything laminated dough, and they had so many options! I loved their escargots, they... were so different and delicious! I had the passionfruit one, and they have a raspberry one too. Their Almond Croissants wereamazing as well. Will definitely be back ???? Read more
What can I say, this place is the best bakery I think I have ever been to! We stopped here after visiting Washington Park on our... scooters for a mid-morning snack. We had a ham and cheese croissant along with a black berry pastrie and iced coffee's. It wastruly unbelievably good. We will be recommending this place to our friends and family who visit Portland and will be coming backhere religiously on every visit we make to Portland. Read more
