In February 1997, Pearl Bakery opened its doors with only a handful of employees, a small product line and little fanfare. It was one of the first businesses on this block near the edge of Portland’s Pearl District, one block from Powell’s City of Books. Since then, the bakery has grown with the vibrant neighborhood, and now offers pastries, sandwiches, bread, coffee and tea to the growing number of workers and residents of the Pearl District seven days a week.

The employees at Pearl Bakery are always so incredibly nice and really brighten my day. They are attentive and kind, just what I need in the morning! Their soy lattes are ridiculously amazing.

Pearl Bakery and St. Honore are two of the best bakeries in town. This one is more conveniently located in the Pearl but does not offer as many seats to hang out and relax. But even if you have to enjoy your coffee and pastry or sandwich at a standing table it is worth it.
Don't forget to pick up a baguette or country bread to take home!
