    Hold the Wheat - warm, savory goodness
    Kim R.

    Recently determined I needed to go GF, so I'm on the constant search for options. We tried HTW this weekend, grabbing a handful of sweet treats and one warm, savory item. Every item was tasty...every bit as tasty as non-GF treats. I didn't need the amount of icing they include on things, but that's pretty standard for me as I tend to like things slightly less sweet than the normal human it seems. Service was friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed everything, appreciated the options (even though they stated they were low on options that afternoon) and will definitely be back to try more!

    So grateful to have a cozy gluten free bakery with savory and sweet options. It also has options for people with other dietary restrictions.

    I love a savory pastry which is hard to come by as a GF person. Every time i have gotten the mushroom pastry there have been huge woody rosemary stems/sticks inside the pastry. The rosemary isnt chopped either, making the texture awful. Really disappointing, and a possible choking hazard.

    I'm not GF but one of my friends is celiac and I'm always up for trying GF bakeries with her and this was probably my favorite so far! Was pleasantly surprised and also their coffee was delicious! I had the coffee cake and my friend loves their pop tarts.

    I don't have one negative thing to say. Are the prices high? Yes, but you get what you pay for. I am not gluten free but my girlfriend is. And I made the trek all the way from the east side to get her a treat. The staff was amazing. Personable, knowledgable and patient. And you know what else, their clientle was spot on. I asked a couple of strangers what they recommended and every single one of them was enthusiastic about their recommendations. One even said they weren't gluten free but come here anyway because everything was so delicious. Got the girlfriend the chocolate chip cookies which were amazing. Salty sweet and soft. She loved the apple turnover thingymabob. She said it tasted like apple pie. The gingerbread cookies were also soft and not crunchy, inedible hard. They were fucking delicious. Like a gluten free party in your mouth. I'm surprised my girlfriend even shared. This place is a 10/10. I lied when I said I have nothing negative to say. I guess the one negative thing I have to say is that now I have to come to west side more often for this bakery and throw my money at them for their baked goods. Assholes.

    Lemon-blueberry pop tart, raspberry cream danish, Marion berry cream danish, strawberry sweetie pie.  So much fruit!!! So good!!!

    I wanted something special for a dear friend who is celiac, and I remember passing this place a number of times, but never had a reason to stop by. What a silly reason not to stop by this amazing place!!! Going into this bakery, one thing that caught my eye was the signage. You can't miss this place and it's cute! Walking in, I was immediately greeted by the pleasant staff. Being my first time, I asked what's good? Another silly question... everything was good! From their savory to sweet selections. I chose some savory items and a lot of sweet ones as well. One thing I will say, and I've been to a couple gluten free bakeries in the area. This place does the crust right! It's flakey and crunchy in all the right ways. Another thing I will say is what I chose had a load of fruit in them. Not syrupy or gooey, it was simply fruit. It was refreshing. Not overly sweet, just right! Needles to say, the selections were a huge hit! We will definitely be back for more! Well done Hold the Wheat!!!

    Hot pocket was savory, crunchy and delicious

    The bakery is quite eye catching with a bright orange exterior. Once you enter, you are greeted by a whimsical retro-inspired decor. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was PACKED! As goods were flying out off of the shelves, I was a bit worried that they might sell out pastries! The good news is that they kept bringing out more to calm my food anxiety. My friend, the reason we came, has a serious gluten allergy and is allergic to eggs and nightshades. The only item she could have was the mushroom pastry and she really enjoyed it. I got the lemon & cream danish and an egg and sausage hot pocket, and liked them both. The hot pocket crust was hot and crunchy, while the lemon danish was tangy. Both were delicious and I enjoyed them with a cappuccino. I wish there was more indoor seating for a party of 3 or more. There was only one booth and it was taken. So we sat outside and got drizzled by the afternoon shower. Thank goodness the weather is still nice enough, but it won't be fun when winter comes. Also the pastries was quite pricy and the cost added up fast. I understand that speciality pastries usually cost more, but it does make it harder to justify frequent visits as I do not have any allergies or intolerances. Overall, it's a cute bakery which offers delicious gluten free pastries. I'd recommend it, especially for people who have gluten sensitivity.

    I've driven past this gluten-free bakery countless times without realizing what 'hold the wheat' meant until I finally stopped in. I felt so silly. I was pleasantly surprised to find delicious, flavorful baked goods that don't taste like cardboard like previous gluten-free things I have ate. The Pop Tarts and hot veggie quiche were particularly amazing! However, I noticed that a lot of customers were dining in, but there wasn't an option to order on plates. This resulted in unnecessary waste from all the takeout boxes. I suggest offering trays with paper liners to reduce waste and help the planet.

    Pastry!

    Loved my oatmeal sandwich frosting cookie! It wasn't overly sweet and the cookie tasted great and you wouldn't have guessed it was gluten free. They also have lots of savory options to pick from for breakfast or lunch. The counter lady was friendly and efficient even with the coffee and hot chocolate.

    loved by everyone in our party of seven, gluten-free and non-gluten-free alike. i find the prices very reasonable given the high price of GF flour and for how filling the items are! the quiches looked kinda small, but i was so full--almost too much to then eat my peach pie! that was really yummy too not a lot of places to sit, but a few if you're lucky

    A neat newer place in the Beaverton area that has both sweet and savory treats. I believe they serve gluten-free items. I ordered a few things to try and bring back to share. The pepperoni pizza pocket was good. The Expresso Martini cupcake was a bit too sweet for me, but did have a good flavor to it. The people working here were super friendly and patient with me while I was trying to figure out what to get.

At this point I've tried a number of things here and every one of them were delicious! The Japanese pancakes were so fluffy and fun, called ahead just to make sure they could make them right after opening but couldn't get through. THEY CALLED ME BACK IMMEDIATELY!! I have never had a food place care enough to actually call back if they miss a call. I was so happy with the pancakes too, nicely made and yummy. Their tiny cakes are all perfect too, I'm in love with each one especially the PDX rose! So bright and flavorful, with a beautiful outside that matches its taste! Can't forget the Japanese Cream Cheese Bun, it's soooooo good and the price matches the taste (aka good price for a good dessert). Not too sweet but still delicious! Just gotta make sure you eat it fresh, forgot to eat my last one for an hour and it got dry but still had its yummy taste. I super recommend this place!!

I added breakfast to this place while they visited me for a few days. We called in our order as instructed on the website. Unfortunately no Boba was available for on the pancakes. When we arrived I was disheartened to find the place rather small either intense heat of a bakery, which made the lone table inside with a meandering fly the least bit welcoming. When adding drinks to our order, the lone man working there asked me a few times whether I really was ordering coffee for a child (and yes, she settled on a mocha when it was determined he only knew how to sprinkle matcha powder on the pancakes, and hadn't a clue as to their application to drinks). My grandson ordered their 'special hot chocolate' which pretty much tasted like watered-down Ovaltine. We sat outside to eat and after a few bites and finding these were nothing like the fluffy Japanese pancakes they'd expected, we threw away $44 worth of what was supposed to be a pleasant breakfast experience. I guess this was a life lesson for the kids, that our expectations aren't always met. And I want to prevent any other adults from making the same mistake I did in taking my business there!

I thought we'd go there for some to-go, and hubby found a parking spot, just around the corner, in the shade. As he was turning right, I also spotted a 'bakery' written on the window. I was thinking of waiting for him, in the car, and just grab a chicken sandwich. But, after he left, I decided to go inside the bakery to browse. He was standing at the corner, reading the menu of the shop, when I called him to 'Come over here!' I didn't know what I just walked in. Ooddles & oodles of cookies, cakes, pastries, sandwiches, like a one-stop bakery, cafe to-go. I started to take a video, of the whole shop, but sadly, as I turned it off, I realized I was just turning it ON! Instead of buying one sandwich for each of us, we ended up buying 4 of our 'look scrumptious' pastries that could fill us up. (Photos are not good quality, because I thought I was video-taping it. That's the result!) We each shared everything! We both agreed, it was probably one of the best lunches we've eaten. The pastry were still warm, the cheese in our ham was melting in your mouth. The spinach was just out of the oven. Everything was just wonderful! We will surely stop by here again, and buy twice as much, should last us a week. Maybe freeze some, so when we are tempted for some pastry, we are ready!

We started out with Turkish coffees and Iraqi Tea. The presentation was beautiful and the complex flavors were so nice to wake our taste buds. We ordered the Beef Mix, Lamb and Eggs, Pastry #2 (hot dog, mushroom, cheese), baclava, and their special halawa to try.

It came with salad and yummy boat shaped bread to scoop up all the flavorful goodness. Their house hot sauce took it to the next level. The baklava was the perfect amount of sweetness with the coffee and tea. It was our first time trying a halawa and we all loved the dense texture with a sweet taste.
