I stumbled upon Carina's bakery this morning while in Beaverton. The goods were all vegan and there was a great selection including gluten free options. I brought home a piece of almond cake, pumpkin bread, chocolate cake, and a pot pie to try with my family. I don't eat dairy and minimize gluten but love baked goods. The rest of the family has no dietary restrictions. We all loved the baked goods! I saved the pot pie for tomorrow and can't wait to try it. I plan to go back the next time we're in the area. read more

Such yummy treats. Always visit when I am in town. Great service as well. This place takes gluten/dairy free to the next level.

I love this bakery and it's one my new favorite spots in Beaverton. It is just a heartwarming place with a beautiful backstory. Two minutes ago, I just ate a little bit more of the cupcakes Carina baked and they are simply melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I knew I had to write this review. Carina really came through for us. These are hard times for everyone due to the virus and the smoke. One bakery that I had called fell through. Then, Carina told me she could bake cupcakes for our one year-old's first birthday and they would be done the next day. In the rush of things, we had a miscommunication. When I came in saw the cupcakes at first I was a bit disappointed, but thanks to Carina's cleverness and quick-thinking she thought of a great way to fix the cupcakes in a minute. (I had wanted yellow frosting, but it was white, and then she dusted them with tiny yellow sparkling sprinkles.) Our cupcakes were brilliant - literally (luminescent yellow!!) and figuratively. We LOVED our cupcakes. Incidentally, Carina's cupcakes are vegan, and we are not particularly vegan, but do not hesitate to buy vegan. They are just wonderful. The marzipan frosting is top-notch! Definitely on par with buttercream. (Besides, we knew back in our old hometown the vegan cupcake bakery regularly won competitions.) The bakery has much more than cupcakes and is an adorable, cheery, comfy place to grab a latte or more. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I've been here maybe a half dozen times since Carina opened the place, and I really want to support them. But I usually struggle w/the same things here. Quality and pricing for said quality. I'm ok w/the price if only the quality was there. I visited this Sunday morning after not being in for probably almost a year. I was hoping for a bunch of fresh baked goodies. We picked 6-7 different pastries, and just about every one of them tasted 1 or 2 days old. Again, I really want this place to succeed w/their abilities, and the more women owned businesses the better IMO. I just hope they can turn around the quality. read more

This place is the best. I had a friend bring me some cookies from their shop and decided I had to go in for myself. Everything is vegan which is awesome! But also makes it hard to not leave with one of everything. We picked up a couple of sweets for the next day's breakfast and everything was delicious. I will most definitely be coming back for more. I also recommend their chai latte. It was one of the best I've had in a while. Make sure you stir it once in a while, because I didn't realize how spicy it was until I got to the end. It had an almost black pepper hint to it and was absolutely perfect. I always recommend oat milk for lattes also. Next time I pop in I will make sure to take some pictures of their divine offerings so you can drool at the thought of eating everything along with me. But really, you should just go in for yourself. read more

I'd you want to spend $40 on 6 hard, cold, not fresh, very dry and tiny baked goods go here!! Had an out of town guest visiting and my local bakery had a line around the block and no time to wait. So I decided to order from this local bakery to have delivered through Uber Eats. The menu looked tasty and yelp reviews averaged 4.5 so this place seemed a no brainer. I ordered a total of 7 pastries both sweet and savory. My total came to about $40. One of them was almost $8, so as a first time customer i'm assuming the portion is substantial. I received my order in 2 tiny white boxes you usually receive in a restaurant for your leftovers 1. They shorted me an item. And didn't adjust the price for my order 2. Every single item was very small and absolutely not worth the hefty price per item 3. Not one item seemed to have been made fresh. They were all clearly taken out of a refrigerator and were hard from refrigeration. You couldn't even cut them easily. They were very hard and not an ounce of elasticity for a baked good. 4.One of the items was sugary and sweet and had a nice flavor profile to it, but I couldn't even tell you what it was as every single item, all different, looked almost exactly the same. Definitely a waste of time, money, and credibility as a host on my end. Will never patron again. read more

While here I got an apple cider donut, the coffee chocolate brownie, GF white bread, and GF morfar's smorgas (the savory dish with fake egg). Everything here was absolutely delicious aside from the morfar's smorgas which was awful. They shouldn't sell it, it's that bad . I had 3 of my friends try it in hopes it wouldn't go to waste and they all also thought it was gross. read more

Carina's Bakery is my favorite. I'm not vegan, but I am vegetarian and I have gluten sensitivities. Carina's Bakery always has enough options for me that I have trouble deciding what to get, though I can never go wrong with the Scandinavian almond cake. The items are always clearly marked with what type of allergens they contain so there's no guessing. Carina's also has a rewards program that lets you earn points you can redeem for food or coffee. I've never ordered coffee at Carina's, so I can't speak to that, and I am excited to try one of the smorgas options. I'll get back to you about that. read more

What a cute, and delicious bakery! We finally made it to check this place out and weren't disappointed. We went for sweets after lunch so didn't get to try any of the savory items. We'll do that on the next visit. We sampled 5 different cookies and loved them all!! The chocolate chip, cinnamon and chocolate crinkle, hazelnut and chocolate shortbread, a sugar cookie Easter egg that was frosted and another shortbread type. I can't recommend this fantastic vegan bakery enough. They also have a good amount of gluten free items. I think only a few of our cookies had gluten. read more

This is the second time I have been here. I am vegan and feel so damn lucky to have such a high-quality specialty bakery on the west side. Every item I have gotten here has been outstanding. Today I got an almond bar and an espress/ chocolate brownie. Super awesome! And those that balk at the prices? Go to Saint Honore and see what they change (way more). You get what you pay for, and you get high quality all the way here. You are also supporting a small bakery (looks family-run) with grassroots social justice programs in place. I bought a 'pay it forward' token today "for those who need something but don't have the funds" (or something like that). I was given a token to place on a small tree in the bakery. I was delighted to see it loaded with other tokens, I think for whoever walks in and asks for something to eat. This place is win/win! read more

This place is adorable! Very fun! Lovely pastries and coffee drinks. I think the coffee was my favorite part! Just a plain oatmilk latte - delish. Ill be visiting before work sometimes from now on. I wonder if they are thinking of adding breakfast sandwiches? I would eat there every morning! read more

This is a quaint little bakery just off Lombard past I-217. For the small space, I was impressed by the wide variety of their offerings! Mostly sweet stuff (primarily cookies, along with some muffins, cakey things, and sweet rolls), with a few savory options. I tried the almond cake and the sausage roll. The almond cake was just amazing. Perfect texture--a hint of crispness on the outside and soft but not crumbly inside, and not cloying or overwhelming of almond extract. The sausage roll is a housemade bean patty wrapped in a pesto bread. It was just ok. Probably not worth the $3.00. I'll probably stop in here again if I'm in the mood for a cookie or muffin and in the neighborhood, but won't go out of my way for it. read more

This place is amazing! I wanted to say "I'll have one of each" when I saw all the goodness that was on display. The 4 different cookies I tried were delicious but the pepparkakker bundt cake was divine! The blend of spices was done to perfection. Moist, tasty perfection. It's obvious that all these treats are made thoughtfully and with love. Carina's Bakery ....... Don't wait to try it! read more

I had a bad personal experience with this business, which I posted here. Instead of addressing my concerns, the business used a blatant false accusation to have my review censored. This is now two bad personal experiences I have had with this business. If my review is censored again, then that proves Yelp is OK with false accusations. read more

I particularly like that everything is made in house and is on the smaller size for portions. It is vegan and soy-free with some gluten-free as well for those of you that this is important. They also carry lunch-related items. They are starting slow but each time I have visited (they just had their Grand Opening a week or so ago), they are getting it down. I have tried several items. My favorite so far has been the peanut butter cookies (named after the owners service dog), the lime shortbread, and an almond cake. Per their website: We infuse traditional Swedish baking with the mouth-watering flavors of the Pacific Northwest. All of our products are vegan and soy-free, plus we offer select gluten-free options. Our work helps people with disabilities to develop a passion for baking, employable skills, and an outlet for sharing their ideas with the world. read more

Such a wonderful little bakery! I mean it is 100% VEGAN!!!! Which is the best part. The coffee cake is SOOOO DELICIOUS!! It paired so perfectly with my hot chocolate. Carina recommended oat milk with it so it would froth better, at it was very yummy. Almond cake was great also, crisp on the outside and delicious almonds. I am definitely going back! There is also wifi if you want to bring homework to work on or need to search on the internet! It's a peaceful place and easy to focus there, way better than Starbucks! read more

Brought a vegan friend here for an afternoon treat and coffee. All the pastries we had (brownie, cookie, and coffee cake) were excellent! Give this place a shot, vegan or not! read more

Update - Carina's is still awesome! I especially love their espresso drinks. Get a mocha latte with coconut milk - you won't regret it!

This place is amazing!!! My hubby our 4 year old and I go every week at least once sometimes twice and order so many delicious goodies. everything we have ever gotten is amazing and what I really like is that nothing is overly sweet. I'm diabetic and carinas delights don't spike my blood sugars! Absolutely love Carina and her staff The vibe is always so friendly and warm!!! The only place we will ever go for our bakery items- love, the bean team read more

This business is garbage!!! Everytime I go in for food it is ALWAYS messed up! Im pregnant so I specifically ask for my food a certain way & once again my order was wrong so I called to complain about it, I was then placed on hold for 15 minutes while I could still hear the lady taking orders never talking to her "supervisor" about my order & then was told they couldn't do anything about my order! I proceed to speak with the "supervisor" that didnt speak a lick of English all for her to hang up on me!!! I had asked for the manager & was denied that! read more

I always look forward to visiting and seeing the latest goodies. There is a great selection of items, always fresh and delicious, super friendly staff, plus everything is Vegan!! Also, you receive messages with free items(coffee, cookie, etc) when you sign up with your mobile number. The pay it forward program is astounding! read more

Carina's bakery is so cute and delicious! Healthy and so good! I love the window to visit with the guide dogs. read more

I was searching for a bakery that could do vegan and gluten free so that all guests at a wedding celebration could enjoy them. We ordered 4 dozen in four different flavors and they were a huge hit! Everyone agreed that they were moist, delicious, and the best cupcakes they'd ever had. When I picked them up, they were labeled with the flavors and beautifully packaged. Would highly recommend. read more

Great place to sit and enjoy your almond cake with your coffee. The employees are great read more

This place brings me so much joy. A super warm, friendly, inviting cafe and bakery with a great array of vegan savory and sweet baked goods, many (if not all) with a Scandinavian influence. The owner is very friendly, and they employ and empower people with disabilities. Many gluten free options, and lots of different beverage choices as well. This place is perfect. read more

Amazing brownies and cookies. I'm new to this dairy-free (due to allergy) eating. I thought I had no dessert options... and then I found Carina's. Try it. Do it now. read more

Everything was insanely delicious! I kept having to look at the website to make sure it was actually vegan, I've never had such moist and flavorful vegan treats. Will be back for sure! read more

OMG the Almond Cakes!!! They are all I can think about. This spot is amazing. Great treats and great coffee.

My pasta salad looked like a hunk of mold scooped out of a big butt, but my goodness.. delicious

Cute place, plenty of parking, easy to find, wonderful lady working the counter, AMAZING vegan treats and "sausage" rolls, tasty coffee/espresso, precious doggy hanging out in his lil house. I recommend! read more

Very sweet service! Lots to choose from. Amazing story of how the bakery got started!

Really cute little spot, and friendly and helpful staff. Inclusive and ethical seeming business which I'm happy to support. Coffee is delicious and they have all different options for alternative milks and creamer which is much appreciated. The coffee cake is yummy and I get that each time. The cookies have so far been disappointing, mostly just ok and a couple really not tasty at all. Definitely a spot to visit for vegan fare in Beaverton, and also a place with multiple vegan AND gluten free options. read more

Great service, great place to grab a cup of coffee and food on the go when I have to leave for work in the morning

Really great quality and delicious food and tea! Can't speak for the coffee because I never tried it.

As a vegan swede I was so excited to see this bakery open in Beaverton! Their pastries are tasty and coffee is good! Currently eating the Danish coconut caramel cake and the texture and flavor are lovely. Tack så mycket för frukosten! read more

such great vegan options i literally fall to my knees for this place if you don't go ur weird

I love this place, great vegan bakery items, many of which are wheat-free which is a real bonus for those of us avoiding wheat. Friendly, prices are good, and convenient location. I hope more people support a great local establishment like Carina's, but not so many that everything is sold out before I get there. Anything almond there is extra delicious! read more

This is the cutest little bakery with the tastiest treats! When I was on maternity leave and alone with my baby all day, I would make regular stops into the store just because I would always leave feeling like I was buying something special and would go home and enjoy my day with my baby just that much more. Now that I am back to work I find every opportunity to stop in when I feel like I need some delicious baked goodies and enjoy the positive, quaint energy. And it's all VEGAN! Carina's is my favorite. read more

I LOVE cooking my own vegan, gluten free desserts. I stalk ALL of the alternative baking blogs. I can have an in-depth conversation about the comparative qualities of various types of egg replacer. And you can bet I've tried every commercially available product around, from the Saturday Market in Beaverton to Petunia's in downtown Portland. Carina's Bakery is THE BEST I've had, compared to my own cooking or anyone else's. Often vegan gf products use excessive sweetener to cover an otherwise uninteresting flavor palette, but everything I've tried at Carina's so far has a wonderfully complex flavor. Have to stop myself from going there every day! read more

In search of yummy vegan treats, I visited Carina's Bakery for the first time today and I was blown away! The selection is amazing and the pistachio cake I ordered was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I was so impressed to see that they had white chocolate coffee drinks, something I've missed dearly since going vegan. They also have a pretty good selection of gluten free offerings. I recommend Carina's Bakery to anyone and everyone and am looking forward to going back and bringing my friends and family! read more
