We're heading to Ashland, but we stopped in Beaverton for a quick lunch. As we're driving around…read morefor a parking spot, I saw something on the window, 'chicken'. 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 will drive 30 minutes one way to come here but after the experience today Sunday February 22nd…read moreat 5:00 I think we'll try to find another bakery. My family came in needing to buy slices of cake we were ready to purchase and a line was forming and we were the first in line yet the workers were just standing in the back behind the cakes chatting. No one paid ANYONE in line any attention. We usually have such amazing service, quick, attentive, helpful. But maybe at the end of the day they don't look towards the door or maybe the tea was just too good to stop chatting about. Either way, hope they get trained to know when customers are lined up and ready to buy that they should try to get them taken care of so that lines don't form behind them.

The food was delicious! Everything on the menu is vegan and my veggie pot pie had so much flavor and goodness. We shared an almond loaf that came right out of the oven and it was incredible. We also enjoyed our tea lattes. Carina's is perfect for an individual or small group (~3 people) outing. We saw several people order to-go during our visit, so that's also an option. I highly recommend Carina's Bakery to anyone looking to have a delicious baked good or small meal. Our dine-in experience was perfect!

Would it be selfish of me to say the Beaverton bakery Hold the Wheat was developed and launched…read morejust for me? I mean, in all honesty, this place should be called Nico's Gluten Free Bakery... I love what they've created so much! Hold the Wheat is both style and substance. They've done an amazing job creating gluten free baked goods that are delicious; so crispy and flaky when they're supposed to be, so light and fluffy as well - you'd never know you were eating products without gluten. Bravo! Whenever I find businesses that fill me with joy, I always remember that love is in the details. And that's very much the case at Hold the Wheat. I love their updated vintage esthetic. The pink and orange and brown has me gushing emojis of pure joy! The pink takeout boxes are adorbs. The lush and beautiful plant wall, disco ball, retro seating, and happy branding all leave me wanting to do a happy dance right there in the dining room. The breakfast sandwiches are my go-to, but everything else I've tried here is amazing. The staff are super friendly, extremely patient, and always have great recommendations for any indecisive customers like me. Check this place out, I'm sure you'll love it just as much as I do!

This is in response to your 'form response' to my review, where I explained my experiences at this…read morelocation because I couldn't get a response to any of my messages in an attempt to avoid writing a bad review. The fact that you responded in that way to a very detailed review asking me to email 'details' of my experience shows just how little this company cares. You just post these 'oh sorry we fell short' responses and never follow up. My review did explicitly detail the issues and frankly I have spent way too much of my time already trying to get a response to the disappointment in a shop I have spent a lot of money in! Let's face it, your pastries are not inexpensive. But that's not really the point, as I am never concerned with price if it is something I enjoy. The point is the all around disrespect and the total lack of customer service. I left, as I said, 3 messages, and no one felt compelled to reach out to address or apologize for ANY of the issues I detailed, from the smashed, ill-packaged pastry to the fact that not one employee in all the times I was in there spending money since that location opened ever mentioning a rewards program- ever. So don't try to tell me you 'strive for excellence', that's just a slap in the face in what honestly already feels to be an already insulting situation. You couldn't even bother to respond to my email! Lisa

I always stop here when I'm in town. Why? Because it's so delicious! I love the wide variety of…read morebreads and pastries they offer. I tend to pick from the shelf-stable pastries since for some reason whenever I visit it is always hot. That means I have to skip at the cake/pastry case even though the desserts look so tantalizing. My favorites are: Kare pan: House made beef curry inside of a deep fried donut coated with panko. I don't understand how it's possible for this creation to remain crispy even though it's stored at room temperature instead of the more usual warming lamps. The curry is thick and has generous chunks of beef and vegetables. The bread isn't really "donut" per se since that brings to mind something sweet with a tender crumb. It's more of a fried bread dough that's deliciously chewy. Bacon and blue cheese mini epi: Épis de Blé is a bread that looks like a sheaf of wheat that is very similar to a baguette. Their take has a chewier crumb and crust instead of a shattering crispy outside as with a traditional bread of this type. The cheese and bacon make this such a luxurious bread. They don't use the shelf stable bacon; they use the good stuff so it adds a great texture to the bread. It's not heavy in blue cheese flavor, so even though I don't like blue cheese, I still adore this bread.

The server was incredibly friendly and offered us to-go bags. But we finished everything in one sitting. It is a lot of carbs but everything was just too appealing and delicious. The bread was soft and fluffy. The curry was vibrant and distinctive. This was our favorite breakfast for the trip.

Pretty disappointed at this place after my daughter brought me here for the first time…read more I ordered the Peach Fruit Tea with 50% sweet, light ice and Crystal Boba. Results- - Canned (not fresh) peaches used in drink. This may have caused weird aftertaste that does not have that familiar peach flavor like other places. - Flavor is way too sweet for 50%. - Light ice was done correctly When I walked away I quickly realized that they did not add my crystal boba toppings to my drink. I just had a few slices of lemons. After walking back to let them know, the girl who prepared my drink admitted to the guy that I questioned the issue about that she forgot to add it. No apologies from the girl directly and it was passive but only from the guy whom I mentioned the issue to. They have a lot of young kids working here and it looks like they work fast but they need to read the ingredients to fulfill the order correctly and to be consistent. I may give this place another try but will be sorely disappointed if they miss the mark again. (FYI- This exact location used to be Nobibi which quickly went downhill and this new business took over.)
