It's the best baguette and croissant in town. The staff is so friendly as well! Get there early because they can run out of popular items and sometimes there is a line, but it's always quick and definitely worth it!
We got a box of pastries including a pound cake, croissants, and a scone. We loved each of them and will be coming back when the weather is better and we’re not walking back with a soggy rain-laden box. Looking forward to trying some breakfast options as well.
Holy magnolia! I have been so disappointed by Portland croissants since I was ruined by Paris (yes—I know how that sounds). But Little t American Baker has finally renewed my faith. The stretchy, creamy, buttery layers—😍😍😍. And with the complement of an absolutely perfect little dry cappuccino to go with? Wow. I got a kouign-amann, a pistachio bear paw, and a triple cheese grilled cheese. Every item blew my poor little mind. I’m not sure if any of them will survive the day 👀 Lovely staff. Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. Next time I’ll have to buy a loaf of bread, too. The whole place is understated. Instant obsession.
I love Little T and have always been a regular but recently their baguettes have changed recipe and are nothing like the original, more of a tangy sourdough, and not going to fuel my running addiction like they have the previous five years. Wish they'd go back to the old baguette recipe! The croissants are still to notch though.
This cream cheese brioche is amazing. The best brioche I’ve ever had! And I haven’t even been to that many places.
I don't live in the area but any time I'm around Portland this is an absolute go to place. If you like bread, there is no better place than Little T's. I chase good bread around the world. Little T's is world class - for real.
I LOVE Little T's and have been a regular for the past couple years. These folks are super consistent with their baked goodies! My personal favs include blueberry corn scones, chocolate croissants, and ANYTHING involving the pretzel rolls.
Coffee here can be a hit or miss depending on how busy the place is. This weekend I saw three folks working and maybe a dozen (!!) folks waiting or ordering. My latte tasted a bit bitter (but strong), and it was prepped and ready for pick up within speedy time.
Heads up, the staff really appreciate that customers wear masks when entering the bakery and stay socially distanced. Lots of X marks to help guide you and keep you safe!
Their breads are ridiculously good. Top notch. Their croissants are perfect. Their sandwiches are really thought through well in terms of balancing flavors, and quantities. Any photos can’t really convey the fresh deliciousness. Grand Central is good, but Little T is at another level.
Best butter Croissants I ever had outside of Paris! They also make great breads. Everything I tried, from scones to Ham & Cheese pretzel sandwiches were terrific! I only wish they would open a second location here (where I live) in the Vancouver, WA area!
My favorite bakery in town. I consider myself a bread connoisseur and this place does not disappoint. Workers can move a little slow, but overlook that for some delicious baguettes and focaccia.
This is my 10th time arriving — in the morning — to buy a croissant and finding them out of stock. (My persistence alone should tell you how good these things are).
Portland bakers seem to derive a giddy pleasure from manufacturing “we sold out” scenarios. Y’all … that’s not how it works. You can’t bake 5 croissants and then feel proud when you sell out by 8am. You are a business and must learn to scale in order to meet consumer demand for your product. Simple.
As consumers we do not find your failure to plan charming or endearing. And let’s not forget, the sales revenue you’re rejecting (by purposefully understocking) could be tremendously impactful. e.g. sell more product > make more money > pay your staff higher wages.
I love the bread but last two times 1/2 the loaf was mostly a hole .. made for sorry tapanade crostini appetizers! 🙁
Just back from lunch. Excellent open-faced sandwich of sliced salmon (lox), capers, fresh dill, cream cheese, and baked-on-site dark bread. Proportion of ingredients was just right (featuring a generous amount of salmon, and lots of dill and capers). A small but high quality selection of baked-on-site pastries and cookies, too. Clean, cheerful place for a Saturday afternoon lunch.
Yummy little bakery with sandwiches on freshly baked bread and pastries. If you aren't asking for your sandwich on a pretzel roll, you're doing it wrong.
