Travel and Leisure Magazine has released a list of “Portland’s Five Best Bakeries“. Their selections:
- Lauretta Jean’s
- Roman Candle Baking Co.
- Little T Baker
- Grand Central Bakery
- Ken’s Artisan Bakery
Our 2015 Reader Survey for Best Bakery places Little T Baker as number one, with Ken’s Artisan and Grand Central also making the list. I like everything about Lauretta Jean’s, but then my knees go weak when I pass I pie case. Bread at Ken’s or Little T Bakers ends up on my table every Sunday night. I agree with T&L that the Kouign-Amann at Roman Candle Baking is worth the trip. However, I would have added Bakeshop to this list. I think Kim Boyce does a marvelous job.

Overall a solid list, though I’d put Lovejoy in ahead of either Grand Central or Roman Candle (and much as I love Lauretta Jean’s pies, I’ve never really considered them for anything else).

Depends on your definition of bakery. Bakeries make bread; pastry shops don’t. I don’t think Lauretta Jean’s belongs on this list. Pearl Bakery or Baker and Spice would be better candidates. If you are strictly talking about pastries, then Nuvrei is amazing.
