Stopped in to hear the free jazz concert that is given on some weekends. The musicians were fabulous. The place gets pretty packed because who doesn't want a good pastry and coffee while listening to fantastic jazz. We were able to try the vanilla cream, puff and the cheesecake. I wish we didn't split the vanilla cream puff it was that good just have for yourself. The bakery is decorated really pretty and bright colors makes you feel like if you're in a Candyland. Stop by and try their desserts. They were so good. I forgot to take a picture. read more

My date and I stopped here on NYE for a sweet treat. He got a snickerdoodle cookie. I got a variety of their gluten free vegan cookies to include chocolate chip (fire!!), lavender (dry) and sprinkles (haven't tried yet). Overall a cute shop and would come back again. read more

So easy to order and you understood the assignment. Guests love them and holy smokes the vanilla macaron. Wow! Thank you read more

A nice and inviting pastry shop located off Se Hawthorne area. They have a variety of items to choose from. With this visit, I chose half a dozen of macarons and mixed berry cheesecake. The cheesecake was good easy to eat. For the macarons, I enjoyed the animal cookie flavor. This one reminded me of my childhood with those animal cookies. read more

I'll start by saying that I've had plenty of baked goods from Farina prior to visiting in person. They make a great add on for delivery. I've also had items from them at local coffee houses. They're a solid local bakery. We happened to be nearby on my wife's birthday and decided to walk over. I don't know what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised. The store itself is really cute. It looks like walking into a cool, modern tea house. The kind where they serve little cakes, of which Farina has plenty. We had fun hanging out there and enjoying a few new (to us) items. Everything I've had from them has been awesome and this trip was no exception. With that said, I highly recommend the marionberry pop tart and their macarons. read more

I may be over exaggerating when I say this might be my first time in FOREVER entering a Portland establishment and the staff are all such sweethearts. I am so accustomed to the mean girl, no time for small talk, order your shit and leave" employees behind the counter. This place was so welcoming.... The live music and the aesthetics caught my attention as I walking by. I ended up ordering cupcakes because the staff were such a kind. And it smelllls amazing in there read more

I can't recommend Farina Bakery enough! I ordered a 6 inch vintage heart cake for my best friends birthday and it was amazing. The ordering process was easy and they respond very quickly. The design was so beautiful and they were super accommodating with my customization requests. It was also fairly priced (in my opinion) especially compared to other bakeries around! The cake was also delicious. Thank you! read more

I stopped by to try a new coffee shop. I am glad I found this place. The coffee was really good. I had ordered a pistachio cardamom scone and it was amazing. read more

This did not come up on my search for a coffee shop. I am glad that their sign outside said they had coffee so I was able to check out this spot. It's a nice bakery with tables available to sit. The WiFi was good, coffee was great and staff very friendly. read more

My expectations have been far exceeded with this incredible cake. Thank you so much to the bakers and owner, Thomas, at Farina Bakery for helping me celebrate this special day!! If you haven't been to Farina, you're missing out. Please visit them! read more

The macaroons are the best part! And then the tiramisu cupcake comes in a close second

Gosh I'm so sad that I slept on this place for so long before I finally ordered a birthday cake for my husband from this spot! And wowow did it DELIVER. The taste was great, the cake was moist, and the whole thing was so delicious -- 10/10 would absolutely recommend for your cake needs! Outside of the cake, I knew I needed to go back and try more of the pastries so back I went~ I grabbed the pesto and sundried tomato savory poptart, the everything bagel galette, the chocolate raspberry cupcake, and the mixed berry cheesecake. Also got my friends the marionberry poptart, cream puff, sweet potato and chickpea savory tart, and the coffee pecan scone. First off the savories were so delicious and the perfect little start to the morning when you're not feeling sugar. I loved the galette but the pesto poptart definitely held its own as well! Now to the sweets dear god, that cupcake was so moist I don't even know what to say -- and mind you I hate the word moist but I have to give credit where it's due. The cupcake was absolutely delicious and the cheesecake was a stunner too. My friends did weigh in on the goods I got them and stated they were all great. Next time, I'll remember to grab a couple macarons to try out as well~ All in all, prices are incredibly fair for what you get; service is super kind and they were really understanding about splitting my orders into different boxes. The interior is cozy and cute and there is some space to sit if you'd like to enjoy your treats before dashing away. Street parking in this particular area is usually not too bad. I would absolutely recommend this spot if you are in the area! read more

This is a great little bakery. There is a really solid selection of baked goods and some delicious savory pastries.

Last Friday I stopped in to visit Farina. Upon entering I realized I had tried their macarons previously at Elephant's Delicatessen. Their shop feels like it's mostly a working bakery and I didn't see any interior seating area (although it looks like they own the adjacent building also so maybe there is seating and I didn't see it because I was so distracted by the pastries). Cupcakes are my nemesis so I had to get some. I don't love their buttercream (seemed butter heavy and flavor light) and their cake was very light and spongy but lacking depth of flavor for me. Overall they weren't my favorite cupcakes (but @hungryhero has my heart there). That being said, their orange cranberry cupcake was a stand out! The orange flavored buttercream was light and delightfully orange flavored. The inside of the cupcake and delicious, tart cranberry that offset the orange cream fantastically. It was original for a cupcake and definitely a standout. Their macarons were quite good. They were a nice size and achieved the marshmallowy goodness that is expected with authentic flavors coming through. Especially good were the pistachio and apple cider. The raspberry was good, as was the chocolate but did not beat out our favorites at @laprovence. The woman who took our order was not unfriendly but did not particularly engage with us. Overall I would stop in for their original macaron flavors in the future. read more

The food is almost almost always good for this bakery. I am a senior citizen. I have a big note on my front door, asking people to knock after delivering. I didn't get that so I figured that I didn't get my order and two hours later when I went out to get my mail there was a bag at the bottom of my stairs that I can't get to so I didn't have a good experience this time. I'll include a picture if I can get it to upload just can't handle those stairs anymore. read more

Farina Bakery - Look at the very bottom of the stairs next to bunny. my melted dessert. - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

They claim to be artistic. Far from it. Pathetic presentation. The script to say 'Happy Birthday' was so small you could barely read it, wrong color that didn't match the cake. Should I go on? The extra star is for your staff. read more

Beautiful cupcakes but I was so disappointed with the quality. The frosting is dense and overly sweet, very unpalatable. Three visits here and I'm calling it quits. Will not be going back. read more

I ordered a cake for my father's birthday. It was ready on time, looked beautiful, and was well packaged. Even after a 2 hour drive to Newport, a day in the fridge, and a 2 hour drive to Seaside, followed by two more days in the fridge (plans kept changing), the cake was still great, and the packaging held up. Also picked up a marionberry pop tart as an impulse buy; glad I did. It was amazing. Service was friendly and the website was easy to navigate for online ordering. read more

5 stars for some of the best macaroons I have ever tried. They could sell these in Paris, they are that good. 2 stars for the almond cake with white frosting. Flavor was good, but dry cake is a turn off. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

AMAZING PLACE! My husband is vegan and it's nice to find a friendly place that offers vegan options! The ice cream sandwiches from Eb & Bean are AMAZING with Farina cookies! Y'all need to do vegan donuts next! read more

Great spot. Coffee, pastry, music (Live Jazz... really/) and customer service were all amazing. The 4 pice jazz group sent my back to a younger day in Philly. A must go see. read more

Farina was empty on a rainy saturday afternoon, should have taken our cue from that, we ordered a few pastries to try (we live a 40 minute drive away). The scone (lemon poppyseed)was okay but had a weird aftertaste like fake flavoring was added. For 5$ i got a very small VERY dry cupcake, with an absolutely ridiculous amount of heavy frosting, i ate one bite and closed the box, i have had better cupcakes from a box mix. The counter person was very nice, the shop itself was cute but definitely not cute enough to lure us back. read more

Small cupcakes....$5. Cake is decent, filling is good, frosting is greasy. The frosting tastes like straight Crisco, no flavor. We tried the peach and strawberry lemonade cupcakes. Chocolate chip cookies are delicious! read more

Great macarons. Service was fine. Nice little bakery in a great location. I'll likely be back.

Order from Farina pretty regularly via DoorDash. They know me. My partner laughs because they often add a special goodie with our order. My partner took serious note of my absolute obsession with their chocolate cake. It's a lovely chocolate cake, very moist with homemade chocolate buttercream, which is perfection. I'm a baker but I have little resistance when goodies are around, so I order to get goodies as individual servings. This is my favorite bakery in town, hands-down. It's very important that if you order delivery or to-go, allow your cake to reach room temp. The buttercream is waxy (it's cold butter, of course it is!!) and the fats in the cake that make it most are solidified, so the cake will seem dry. Further, cake tends to be less flavorful when the fats are solids, so I'd take any critique of their food you might come across with a grain of salt- people don't think these things through if they're not bakers but Farina needs to keep their homemade, quality goodies refrigerated so they remain fresh. To note: they switch their menu a lot. They had some amazing seasonal items this autumn and winter. Most notable a chocolate cupcake with orange ganache and buttercream. My partner freaked out when he ate their Choux au Craquelin last night. We ordered an ice cream sandwich. Guessing they were out of the cookies so they sent a pint of Eb & Bean (he LOVED) and this unexpected pastry which he said was "AMAZING!". I also love their salted chocolate chip cookie, they're everything galette... I mean, in truth the only items I haven't been head-over-heels for are simply items that have ingredients I'm not into and my partner loves everything. I highly recommend them as your go-to for birthdays, date night, or delivery. Whatever the occasion, you certainly cannot go wrong. read more

The desserts are always delicious and it has turned into my go-to spot. The pistachio raspberry cake is to die for!

Stopped by here on a whim as I was passing by and suddenly had a craving for a sweet treat. The chocolate cake was good but the cupcake I had was amazing. I will definitely be coming back. However, I wouldn't say anything special stands out from the many other bakeries in town. read more

We stopped by here on our way home, and we will definitely be stopping again. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. They were very kind to my young son, and answered some good questions. The decor is very sweet and the food is delicious. We are excited for the expansion. This is a great local spot. It is on Hawthorne which is great and they usually have parking relatively close by. read more

Farina Bakery - Cookies in the window - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Love that they always have a vegan cake by the slice and vegan cookie option. Their seasonal flavors are always delicious. The cake and icing is on the sweeter side, perfect for celebrations or when you have a sweet tooth. The new space is cute and has some seating, but I love taking a slice of cake home so that the frosting can soften a bit. Highly recommend! read more

I think this place is pretty solid. Their pastries are darker then most. They are baked longer and so the crust is really flaky and a bit nutty. There macaroons are on point with a crusty outside and that chewy inside. They use bold flavors that compliment a nice cup of coffee. read more

Farina Bakery - Vegan Coconut Dream Cake Slice this was my favorite - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Love, love this little business on Hawthrone! The place was small but full of characters with mismatch tables, antique lamps, and colorful background. There wasn't many seating area so if you want to settle here for a bit make sure to come early (My favorite is the window sill table!). There selection of baked goods and pastries may not be vast but they're VERY GOOD. I split a Savory Chickpea and Sweet Potato Hand Pie and a Everything Bagel Gallette with a friend and they're phenomenol. Warmed, the pastries were crumbly. The Chickpea and Sweet Potato turned out to be a great flavor combination, perfect for the gloomy weather. The Gallette certainly reminded me of an Everything Bagel. The creamcheese fillling was well-balanced and not overwhelming. I certainly will be back to check out other goodies here!! read more

You just must go... You'll thank me. Try the macarons, they are the best I've ever had. Don't stop there though. read more

My favorite bakery in Portland. Such a relaxed an atmosphere and clean fresh feel. They introduced me to golden milk years before it was "on trend"! Their baked goods are simply delicious! read more

Best macarons! Better than Paris! I highly recommend them. I love to try something else in the future as well.

For such a large space, they could do more with the interior to make it more comfortable and inviting. Their baked goods are delicious and presented well. Unfortunately I will not be back as I found the customer service to be cold and unfriendly. I hope they were just having a bad day or something cause if this is the level of "friendliness" they normally are.....then damn maybe just hire a front of the house person who is good with customer service. read more

A friend of mine got me macrons from this bakery and I'm not lying when I say they were the best I've ever had and I've had them all over the world. I was in love! I can't wait to go back and try all of the things. What a great gift idea. Instead of bringing wine to dinner parties, I'm going to start bringing a set of 6 macrons for the host to enjoy. read more

Macaroons are tasty but the staff was not friendly. I will go back and try again because they were tasty.
