I think they probably have good bread, but specifically regarding breakfast - The breakfast biscuit with ham and egg is COMICALLY tiny for $9. The biscuit was fine but not special, the sandwich was fine and definitely worth like $4.50. Also they were out of biscuits so we had to wait longer, they forgot to bring out one of our drinks, and they brought us the wrong order at first. Off day? Maybe. But with Egg Carton kind of nearby, offering better biscuits and WAY better sandwiches, they need to step it up a bit. Edit: Thanks for the reply! Will give y'all another chance, soon, because of the responsiveness. Really appreciate the loaf offer! Go ahead and hook up your next customer, or someone who really needs it. read more

We love Love love this bakery ! Can't say enough nice things about them. We typically go there on saturdays and grab a couple of loaves of bread, coffee and baked goods. They are of high quality and always taste delicious. Their breakfasts are a bit pricey but if you just have couple of croissants and quiches it's a great buy. I have never been disappointed with my visit here. read more

Is it everyone's first day? How come when I walk everyone is facing a different direction than I am? Why is there no sign saying "seat yourself" or "service at the counter." Aside from Babies First Day In Food Service, the food was mediocre and lacked any flavor. The bread was dry and flavorless. How can you have "Bread" in your name and it not be good? Ask Tabor Bread. read more

Fabulous bread, truly artisanal. We stopped for lunch and also bought two loaves, both extraordinary and very different. My half a tuna melt on seeded red wheat could not have been improved upon. The bread was richly flavorful with a nice crust; the tuna was warm, lightly dressed, and covered with melted cheese. It came with the day's vegetable soup, and that was delicious too, pretty much perfect. Bits of carrot, onion, tomato, and a little kale, all perfectly balanced. My friend really liked his grilled cheese with side salad. We are visiting from upstate New York and savoring the many artisanal bread options in Portland. This one is a treasure. read more

i got there late in the day. Most of the options (and obviously most of the best items) were gone. Of these pathetic dregs, i got a chocolate chocolate chip cookie, a (not chocolate) chocolate chip cookie, and a baguette. i am NOT a fan of "healthy" whole grain cookies. It's a cookie. The word cookie is derived from the Greek word Khouki, meaning "moment of decadence"*. So dry whole grain cookies are a pointless blight. Don't ask me why I bought two of these things. But... both were fantastic. Really really good. Perhaps better than standard cookies. These are complex. Sweet morsels of greatness with savory and salty notes. Chewy, with some texture. A great balance of feminine and masculine, light and dark, good and evil. These things are amazing. Stop what you are doing and go try one. Or two. The baguette was fine. Nothing special. One guy was super super nice. I wish i could have reviewed the good stuff. Based on the end-of-day dregs, 5.5 stars. *This is not true. read more

We ordered flour today Tabor Bread did a great job getting us what we needed in a safe manner during the Corona virus quarantine. I really appreciate their kindness. read more

The bread here is real bread with robust flavors and a natural body. It has heart and you will be satisfied and happy after you eat it. Today i got the foccia and a loaf of walnut fig bread. The foccia was good but the walnut fig bread made me momentarily weak in the knees it was too good. Then I was like Popeye. I climbed a mountain and 7 hours later and am still going strong on two slices! read more

I have been coming here since it opened. Their bread is the best I have had. They use very interesting grains and natural yeast. Their pastries are excellent. Their croissants were written up as some of the best in Portland. Their coffee is also very high quality ( I am a bit of a coffee snob). They have a good crew working the counter as well. read more

From the looks of this place early on, it's going to be a great spot in my neighborhood for years to come! They had only been open for ten days when I walked in, and the smell of fresh bread was just overwhelming in the best way possible. I don't know how much time they spent renovating the outside and inside, but they really did a great job, they fit the building so well. Seeing the huge wood fire stove/fireplace inside makes you feel like you're at home and you hired a personal baker to come make you impossibly delicious and large loaves of bread. The scone I chose had great flavor and texture, I'm definitely getting one of those again. Also happy that they sell day-old bread at a discount, which is still a good deal in the morning. I heard a rumor that they may start soup and sandwiches soon, and I hope they do. That would be an even better use of the great space that they have, and could maybe bump this up to a five-star. Excited to walk here for fresh bread in the morning from now on! read more

You cannot miss this place. Savory, wholesome, hearty food and excellent service. Everything is made from scratch in house and done really well. Their bread is fantastic, the best sourdough in Portland, and I love sourdough. Tabor Bread met my expectations. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating and steady service. I highly recommend taking a loaf home! read more

Tabor bread is our local hang out spot. My kids and I come here regularly after the gym for a coffee and a bread product. It's a lovely, quiet, warm, cozy spot. The bread is truly exceptional. Their menu is simple but very satisfying. The owner is a lovely, calm sort of woman, who just seems the essence of this place. Minus one star however for the remainder of their very cold staff. We've spent much time and money here, and the staff is often aloof, cold and bordering on unpleasant. It's not a hipster enough place to support that attitude, nor is it necessary. read more

Delicious bread and a location. This place really delivers (not in a literal sense, I'm not sure if they deliver bread to your door)! I picked up a massive bread loaf about the size and weight of a newborn child. It took a while to eat and it was never dry. I am about to make a sandwich with store bought wheat bread and I'm not excited. I'll have to head back soon! read more

Stupendous bread. Okay, I'll admit it, I often hesitate at the prospect of eating breads made from exotic grains. I fear the flavor and/or texture will cast a pall upon my meal and I will regret ever straying from my precious wheat. Well, let me tell you, friend, Tabor Bread here has opened my eyes to a world of breads I had nearly always avoided. Now, before I lead you down the garden path into thinking this is some kind of Portlandia-esque, weird-for-the-sake-of-weird bakery that only uses esoteric, heritage grains as a way to thumb their nose at the the conventional, wheat-using bakery establishment, let me assure you they got your wheat. They got it right here. It may be of the red fife or hard white spring variety but it's totes wheat. The fantastic batard is made with the latter. It's very moist and has a crust that won't break a tooth. For you grain nerds, you can get you loaves made from spelt or kamut. The spelt loaf is especially tasty. Yes, they do have sandwiches, thanks for asking. The best I've had is the ham and cheese. It sounds boring, I know, but it's the simplicity and quality that make it a standout. Sweetheart ham from Olympic Provisions, shaved thin and matched with gruyere on a tender baguette becomes so much more when you get it inside your mouth. Get that one. The only misstep I've had was some kind of cinnamon roll which was wide of the mark but a spelt chocolate cookie I had was spot on. They've a decent selection of savory and sweet items from which to choose. Plenty of samples to boot. Your impending summer picnics will be greatly augmented with a selection of baked goods from TB, a stone's throw from Mt. Tabor itself. read more

I wish I could walk out of my bedroom every morning and magically appear in the entrance to Tabor Bread... it hasn't happened yet, but I still believe in magic. Who can blame me? Am I wrong to want the smell of freshly baking bed in a fired oven and the beautiful sugar-glistened tops of scones and hearty muffins to greet me day after day? I love their recently expanded menus that include sandwiches and beer and wine. I want to come and try all of their specials! The coffee was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and overall the place's ambiance was ridiculously cute. It was a little cold in the restaurant portion, but heck... we're Portlanders and it was 30 degrees outside. We don't know how to handle cold, so I won't blame them for that. Can't wait to go back! That sticky bun I had is calling my name... read more

I am OBSESSED with these pastries. Most wonderful cakes, donuts, tarts, croissants, the list goes on. Definitely worth the trip to Portland, it's now a necessary stop during visits there. BEAUTIFUL BREADS! read more

After watching a documentary about bread and how the flour we eat is far from the flour we should be eating. I ended up searching for freshly milled flour and found this gem. It isn't about the freshly baked bread that you can find in any other artisan bakery. It is about the freshly milled flour that they make and use in their baked goods. I can truly appreciate the love and time they take to make their bread. Plus it tastes great. They also sell their freshly milled flour. You really can't beat the bread here. read more

Great frigging bread. they grind their own grains, & have a long-standing sourdough culture. Been eating their bread for a while--purchased at woodstock farmer's market--but ate there for the first time. Simple breakfast-lunch stuff, featuring their bread. Had a great breakfast biscuit sandwich--amazing whole grain biscuit (yes it falls apart a little, so what) with delicious ham, cheese & mustard. Melba's soup was very good. The oven's right there. Very friendly service. read more

Where the hell are you located? You hide like a house on the fringe of a commercial zone, nudged next to the residential area. It's like you're a ninja building! Unfortunately, I only came by for the bread. I had another date with East Side Deli down the road for a sandwich lunch. But what you do, you do it well, Mr. Tabor Bread. Whatever hipster name you gave to your grainy loaf, it is fan-damn-tastic! Chew-damn-y and mois-damn-t, flowing with grainy, seedy goodness. It could, however, use a bit more cru-damn-nch on the crust. T-shirt NInja says: Ex-damn-cellent! read more

Delicious! Tasty crusty bread from the wood-fired oven. We got the Batard and can't wait to try them all. Very cool to see the brick oven and flour mill on site. Staff is fun and friendly. Love the choices of whole grain breads. read more

MMmm... bread. This is a wonderful bakery in a gorgeous space - their wood fired oven is front and center. We got coffee and a bread/toast sampler with butter and jam for a morning pick-me-up. All of the selections were delicious, with a great bite, chew, crunch, flavor, you name it. I loved trying each kind and slathering butter on each piece - just as God intended bread to be eaten. They had some amazing-looking pastries and do sandwiches as well. Can't wait to go back!! read more

I ordered toast.... sounds pretty pedestrian, doesn't it? OK, I usually wouldn't but I had a "free toast & coffee" coupon from the Chinook book. Was I impressed with my humble toast?? Yes I was!! Way impressed. First, choice of jams: can't remember them all (I think chamomile strawberry was one option so the jams were NOT pedestrian). I ordered beet rhubarb. (Beet??? in Jam?? It works, fantastic!) So I sat down at a table outside--a table which was entirely stable & secure & didn't jiggle the slightest and my coffee never spilled, extra star for that!--and awaited my toast PLATTER! 3 slices, attractively halved, of gently toasted, nice-n-warm crusty grainy wholesome bread. One had blueberries & hazelnuts, the other two were.... yummy! They were all yummy! Plenty of jam, a modest portion of soft butter, it would be great to share with a friend, and then share a scone or frittata or something too. The coffee was great, a refill is just 50 cents, and the location is way up there on Hawthorne, mellow traffic & pleasant to hang out. Highly recommended! read more

quality food in a beautiful space. Brunch has never disappointed. service is friendly. pizza on Sunday evenings is worth a try. read more

Table bread company was so adorable and delicious. My husband and I walked here for breakfast on our vacation. The smell when you walk in makes you drool and the open kitchen concept shows you how fresh the bread is. I was immediately excited to be there. We ordered Focaccia bread because it was selling out fast so we thought it must be really good. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich, both of which were anazing. The bread is soft with a crunchy exterior and full of flavor. There were so many options! They did not have any gluten free breads, which is to be expected, but one can hope :) The staff was very nice and seemed to enjoy their jobs. It was really fun to sit and watch them take bread in and out of the oven and to watch them kneading and preparing dough in the back. I love places with a story and a passion for good artisan food, and Tabor Bread Co is just that. read more

One single thing matters to me in reviewing Tabor Bread and it's this: Bread. The bread is fantastic. I don't care about their "old menu" or "new menu" or the size of the breakfast. I only care about the bread and it's some of the better bread I've ever had so five solid stars from me. read more

First time visitors today. We all had the biscuit sandwiches 2 of which were ham and kale and 2 were just bacon added. We snacked on the praline bread while waiting for our biscuits. Delicious flavors, fast service. Brought home a loaf of light wheat to have with soup tonight and a rye brownie for dessert. Going to have the challas toast next time. You have to try this place! read more

My "go to" spot for a great loaf. Their seeded red wheat and river bread are excellent! However, their customer service could be improved upon -- I consistently encounter aloof and stressed out staff. read more

Stellar bakery! Beautiful baked goods, awesome people running the show, quick and efficient, nice location, easy to park, great coffee. Wonderful all around! Check them out for sure! read more

A great addition to the neighborhood, and absolutely the best bread around. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you want Wonder Bread, too bad for you. But if you want truly good bread that's healthful and local, this is the place. Nice remodel on the building, a very welcoming space. If somebody who hasn't actually tried anything here tries to tell you it too healthful, that would be a good opinion to ignore. It will be even better when they add their espresso bar. read more

Amazing bread, food, espresso drinks and service!!! I love this place! A Portland gem!!!

Sweet delicious carb-y BREAD! I'm in love. They mill all of their grains and cook all of their bread on-site, and it is delicious! I was extremely impressed by their prices as well! 6 dollars for a sandwich with Olympic Provisions ham and artisan pickles? 4 for a loaf? 2.50 for toast and butter, on your choice of bread? Amazing. If I ever develop celiac disease, just throw me into the river. Please. Kind of wanted to see a bread and cheese option alongside the jam and peanut butter. Some fresh bread plus brie and jam? Shouldn't be hard to add to the menu. Also espresso drinks would be nice. Or if you're only going to offer drip coffee, please actually fill the thermoses. I give this place 4 stars because of their amazing provisions and so-so atmosphere. It was very comfy, and I don't want to see every cafe go the way of an overly hip coffee house, but they were playing music (very loudly) that sounded like "Flamenco Dancing Selections, Part 3" or something that you would hear in an Olive Garden. Also minus a point for the unamused barista who, after my card wouldn't read, got very irritated and pretty much told me I couldn't order. (Even though that card did eventually work. Give it a sec.) Would love to go back for lunch and/or try some of their pastries. read more

We stumbled onto this gem while on a spring weekend walk. Immediately the modern, open, and Shaker simple environment was welcoming. Eyeing the baked goods provided immense temptation, but my companion and I came in for lunch and thus were seeking savory. Luckily they had a few sandwich offerings. We both ordered the kale sandwich and OMG it was outstanding. Goat cheese was used as the adhering ingredient and the bread was amazing with its slightly flexible center and crunchy crust. The kale was full of flavour. How cool is that? A kale sandwich! Upon leaving, we gave in to the sweet temptation by splitting a tiny rye flour donut muffin, and it was delicious! I think there must be sour cream in the recipe because it reminded me of my junior high school mid morning staple of coffee cake. Perfect moist fine texture, not too sweet. Pure luxury. And, I spied a really smooth good looking hot chocolate on someone's table and just had to ask the staff "how is your hot chocolate?" and "do you use melted chocolate?" "Of course", they raved. Fresh whipped cream: check. Ahhhh, next time. I rarely find pulverized chocolate hot chocolate satisfying unless I'm fresh off the ski slope, dead tired, and nothing else will do. Seriously Cassandra C? Too healthy looking? MANY many places have the oversweet crap you desire, so your review was pretty ridiculous :) read more

This place is the real deal, but you better come early. I first stopped by about 4:30 pm on Thursday after flying into PDX, but they were already sold out, even though they were scheduled to be open until 7:30 pm that day. So I returned on Saturday morning and was able to score three loaves: River Bread (wheat), spelt, and einkorn. I gave the wheat loaf to my sister, but I ate the majority of the other two over the next few days and they were excellent. Both spelt and einkorn are more primitive relatives of modern wheat and make a very different loaf from typical sourdough. (As a bonus, I was able to use the 1910 Hawthorne bridge on my way there across the Willamette River.) I really wish I could find an artisan baker like this in Arizona, but no luck so far. read more

I was out with the dog on a sunny Saturday morning when bam! I needed something to eat and a latte. I turned on my yelp and low and behold Tabor Bread was around the corner from where I stood, so gave it a try. It was solid on all counts but the portions which are on the small side. But the quality and the taste were very good. I had Tabor Benedict with prosciutto and a sour dough waffle. Both were superb but just a tad on the small side. Reading the other reviews it seems that they may have some variance in their offerings but on this day it was very good. read more

They have spelt bread, einkorn bread, and a beautiful bright room to sit and enjoy their amazing coffee. I love how the room is full of light, with windows in two side as the shop is at a street corner. Great bread & warm atmosphere!! read more

Great ham and cheese sandwich with a tasty Dijon. Good cappuccino. Sat outside until a bee was super aggressive to get some of my sandwich. Clean and cozy atmosphere. Will be back for gnomes. read more

I'll admit, I am huge bread snob! Rarely do I tolerate store-bought, processed bread--maybe the initial slice but then I can't eat anymore of it. I'll get nostalgic for a simple enriched white bread (especially with barbecue) once in awhile. I love, love homemade or locally baked artisan bread so Tabor Bread has been on my radar and I finally stopped in last Sunday. Tabor Bread is just after the light on Hawthorne and 50th before the hustle and bustle of the street. You walk in and order at the counter then take your number to a table if you are doing brunch. I came for coffee, pastries, and a loaf of bread for the week. I ordered the blueberry muffin, pumpkin doughnut muffin, an 8 oz. mocha, and the whole wheat batard to-go. You aren't given a number for to-go order so it was a little disorganized. I was given my pastries and the coffee took a little bit to make so I was trying to stand out of the way of people ordering and servers bringing out food, but I didn't want to sit down and take up a space...finally, my coffee was done. I had to get back in line for my loaf of bread because that wasn't given to me at the same time as the pastries. I was snacking on my blueberry muffin while waiting for my beverage, however, I didn't realize it until I had reached my car and halfway through with the pastry that it was not blueberry but a spiced pear muffin. Four stars because the mislabeling of goods. It was tasty until I figured it wasn't what I was expecting. My almost two years old niece ate the pumpkin doughnut muffin and she seems to have liked it. Had a slice of the batard today and it was perfection--crusty on the outside but soft and spongy on the inside. I didn't expect it to be so moist and it stayed so after grilling/toasting, did not fall apart. There's nothing like the smell and taste of fresh bread! I'm definitely going to be back for more of the batard and to try their other creations. Your bread exceeded my standards! read more

Cute place with a large, brick oven and lots of natural light from its big windows. First impressions were good, but the bread was even better. I had some Mountain Bread, I think with olives and cheese baked into it - honestly I don't remember what any of ingredients were. But I know that it was absolutely and incredibly delicious. Tabor Bread, next time I am in Portland, you will be seeing me again. read more

Recently went to their Friday happy hour and loved it. Outside seating, great beer and wine on tap, and one of the best cheese plates I've ever had. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. read more

We've been eyeballing this place since it's renovation wondering what was going on inside. Today we stopped in (after trying unsuccessfully earlier in the week, they are closed Mon & Tues) and we couldn't have been more pleased. The actual building is a lovely Tudor (right?) style home that has been reworked inside and out with great care, adding a wood burning oven that was to be stoked by a pile of firewood we saw an employee loading up. As you enter the place, the room seemed a bit large for the small variety of products behind the single counter, but we quickly realized the bulk of the space is for diners to use, and the wood fired oven itself is visible right there in front of you as entertainment while you snack on the breads, soups and sandwiches. This place reminded me of a more neighborhood-y Saint Honoré for the Hawthorne set. The samples are nice, cubes of their breads available for you to try before you buy, and the variety is actually more than sufficient to make a choice and still come back regularly to try something new, but above all else, EVERYTHING was stunningly delicious. Top this off with staff that know their product inside and out, are exceedingly friendly and appropriately proud of what they've built, and you have a terrific addition to the Portland landscape that we hope will remain for years and years. Thanks guys, you really impressed us today! read more
