“ Can't believe it's taken me so long to get here but I am so glad I finally got the chance to try this place! The aroma when you first walk in was intoxicating! There was a short line when we came in late morning this weekend but it moved quick. Lots of folks were there taking advantage of the outdoor seating and indoors as well. Prices were reasonable, we got a few different pastries to share but my favorites were the chocolate praline croissant and hazelnut fruit financier! Can't wait to come back for the loaves. ”
“ What an amazing bakery we left Portland to live in Florida in honestly, every time I'm back in Portland, which is pretty often. I make sure to go here and have some of the amazing baked goods. Just buy one of everything ,you can't go wrong.!!!!!!!!! also, they do a really good job on coffee as well. ”
“ The pastries were great but nothing to write home about though for me it's already a win. I agree with other reviews saying that the workers could be nicer. They don't smile :) I might go there again if I'm ever in the area but won't go on purpose. ”
“ Came here while visiting at the recommendation of a local friend. We're big bread nerds - bake own sourdough and pastries using largely Tartine methods for about 20 years, enjoy finding great bread when we travel. Little T was excellent! We got: -croissant (delicious, light, shattering crust and perfect honeycomb interior) -kouign amann (delicious, lighter and less sweet than most versions I've had elsewhere - enjoyed it, though stylistically unique for the this type of pastry, more like a slightly caramel-lacquered croissant than dense, sticky-sweet kouign amann I've had in the SF area or Brittany) -Demi baguette -whole meal country loaf - we haven't cracked into this yet but a cafe we ate at yesterday served their fancy toasts on this Little T bread The breads are for breakfast tomorrow but they look, feel, and smell amazing. Pastries were top notch. The space is cute - we will come back next time we are in PDX. ”
“ Yummy food and cute place. Staff was a bit prickly but they got the job done. Used street parking across the street. ”
“ The baguettes at Little T Bakers have the perfect exterior crunch and Al dente chew inside. If I'm making a sandwich, this is the vessel! They sell sandwiches there, too, and their offerings are delicious. Croque Madame, albacore tuna in homemade aioli, turkey breast with Brie and green apple - all fab. Salads, too! And of course breakfast offerings like French toast, egg, bacon and cheese in a croissant - just to name a few. Legit croissants, probably one if the top 3 in Portland. Buttery, flaky and the perfect size. Laminated pastries, huge cookies, Danish, doughnuts, bars and biscuits. Little T distributes their products making it easy to pick up baguettes or pastries at Providore and other locations around Portkand, but every once in awhile I need to go to the mother ship! On those visits, I purchase a variety of items to enjoy over a few days. ”
“ Far and above the closest thing to authentic French baked goods I have found in PDX. The croissants truly are the size of a real croissant and not the basketball size everybody else makes. Their breads and baguettes are top class. We fell in love with them from buying them at Providore and was delighted to know the bakery that makes them. Our baguette this morning was still warm out of the oven. ”
“ I waited to do my review until we tried the soft buttery rolls we bought for Thanksgiving. Thankfully we bought two packages so are still eating on them and OMG they are just the perfect yeasty goodness. I would buy these all year long if they offered them (which might be bad). They are just pillowy light and three days after getting them they are still so yummy and make perfect sandwiches. Don't tell my Mom but I like them better than her Parker house rolls and hope we can buy them every Thanksgiving. Maybe they will have at other times too. ”
