Standard Baking Co

Got here at 1:00 PM. So, a few things are left to choose. Go in the morning to choose what they offer. No introduction needed as this is a popular bakery in Portland. I got a croissant which is crispy and so delicious. I had a small size hot coffee and which is good too. Will come back again next time. Highly recommend.

If you use Google, the bakery is actually on the backside, you have to go down a fly of stairs to get to the front door. The store faces the commercial street. Didn’t get an almond or chocolate croissant—was told they sell out by 10am! I was really looking forward to the almond croissants. That said, the plain croissant, chocolate chip cookies, madeleine, and blueberry scone were really good, though not omg good. But the tarts? Definitely omg good! Didn’t get to try the other French bread, but I’m looking forward to that on my next visit to Portland.

Being a supplier to some of the best restaurants in town, should tell you everything you need to know, not to mention the constant line out the door at all hours. Everything I ever purchased here has been wonderful and that’s over 20 plus years. Some special breads are only available after 2:30, best to make an online order and skip the line

Oh my. Standard Baking Company is a very creative and diverse bakery committed to the quality of the best bakeries. We enjoyed breakfast scones (cranberry), breakfast muffins (raspberry and blueberry), a breakfast roll and a brownie for dessert (doesn’t everyone have dessert after breakfast?). Everything they bake looks amazing. If you’d like to elevate any meal, stop in at this wonderful bakery. Get there in the morning though because they sell out quickly and bake everything fresh.

The Standard Bakery Company, a beacon of baked delights, usually enchants with its array of artisan pastries. On this visit, I indulged in one of their croissants, anticipating the usual symphony of buttery layers and airy textures. While this particular croissant did not quite ascend to the heights of its predecessors, being somewhat underwhelming in its execution, it still held a gentle charm. The Standard Bakery Company continues to hold its place as a worthwhile destination for those who appreciate the craft of baking.

standard baking is my new obsession. don’t let the line deter you — it moves fast. but get there early for the best selection! the olive roll & asiago ladder are a must. the gingerbread bundt will cure whatever ails you.

I was very surprised how big it looks on the outside. Then when I went in, no tables, no rest room, and no place to wait except outside in the elements if you’re meeting somebody. It was super crowded inside. The staff was efficient, but make sure you figure out what you want while you’re standing in line.
