I am fairly certain that the walnut loaf is the best bread I have ever put in my mouth. Perfection.

The morning bun was simply divine. Will be coming back here regularly.

Great food , great neighborhood, great service. Highly recommended that you pick up several loaves of their Country Blonde. I make this at home so looking forward to comparing.

Ken's was a dream. We went there twice on our short trip to Portland because the pastries and sandwiches were so intoxicating. I didn't love the almond croissant but the goat cheese and leek one was incredible. The ham one was fine but nowhere near as good. The pizza sandwich special was decent but pretty small for the price - you get two slivers of bread with marinara/toppings on them and it kind of shredded my mouth. Loved the croque madame. Be prepared to stand in line and wait a while after ordering. Their coffee was pretty mediocre.

Canelés are hard to find in the United States. If a bakery offers them, I will travel great distances to get them. That's how I found Ken's, and was delighted by all of it. Canelés were perfect, as was the Morning Bun and the Baguette. We will definitely make the trip back to them, a lot...

Ken wrote the book on baking bread and I’m glad to see that his artisan bakery is the real deal. Everything here is best in class, from the focaccia on the pizza sandwich, to the flaky croissants, the luscious fruit tarts, and especially the signature sourdough and country boules. If you love bread, this is an absolute must whenever you’re in Portland.

My friend bakes here and let me know. I live at the coast, but make weekly trips to Portland. I had the quiche with bacon, chocolate croissant and meadow something herbal tea. I'm so glad I stopped by. Scrumptious! And so many more things to try. I ate it before I remembered to take photos. Oh and everyone was so nice. It must be a happy place to work.

FANTASTIC 👌
The #2 "Brown" (pictured) was one of the best breads I've honestly ever had... ever. Everything was extremely fresh and tasted excellent.

A very nice breakfast place to start your day at. The croissants are quite good and I’d recommend ppl to try 2-3 types. The chocolate profiteroles were also quite good.
Definite recommendation for ppl visiting and staying in Portland.

We stopped by here before going to the zoo on a Friday mid-morning. It was nice and bustling with the smell of fresh bread and pastries. The front cashier where we placed our order and paid was very friendly and efficient.
We got a few tarts and a small loaf of bread and everything was delicious.
