Revisited again after many years and I think they've changed their location? The inside is modern yet so cozy and cute. We came to grab a country loaf but was gifted a huge Berry Donut which we enjoyed. The glaze on the donut was so gourmet and delicious. You can taste the berries for sure and the donut was not sweet at all. The dough almost even had a savory hint to it. Would love to dine in sometimes soon! read more

Tabor Bread - Donut - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The prices at Tabor Bread kinda seem egregious because they include gratuity. Gratuity for what? I'm ordering a to-go order. Maybe they are trying to give their several workers a fair living wage, but there are two people working the front, several people working the back, no line on a Tuesday morning and 1 person eating a croissant at a table. No line, there was however a 10 minute wait for a bagel with cream cheese and butter. When I ordered the bagel per my wife's usual preference, the woman working the counter warned me not to get butter and cream cheese. This is a first. I've ordered a bagel at countless places this way and never been turned down but here we are. I ordered a croissant and pistachio morning bun for myself. The croissant is amazingly soft in the middle and crisp on the outside but there is a huge tell. It seems like they freeze their croissants after shaping which makes the outer shell flake into impossible bits. There are so many flakes they have formed a pile. This is a problem even in Paris and as I was once told by a Parisian taxi driver. Fresh croissants are hard to find even there. The pistachio morning bun is sweet from sugar and seems to have a syrup added to it but the flavor of pistachio is lost. The bitter parts of the pistachio are coming through, and here I was thinking this was going to be a sweet bun with all that sugar. Remember that bagel? It's here and it came in a box. Every pastry came in a paper bag, but the bagel in a box is something. It comes with a lemon wedge. Never seen that before. The bagel is soft and lacks a kind of chewy quality I'm accustomed to, from every other bagel I've eaten. 3 pastries and a bagel totaled almost $40. I'm getting tired of bougie bread. Baking is a working class job and working class people deserve good bread, but the prices here are out of reach for some. I search far and wide for good artisanal baked which brought me here based on a recommendation online. The listed prices are honestly fair for artisanal bread but for the price I expect perfection. The prices you see are not what you pay and that seems like robbery. There is a hidden mandatory gratuity fee that is most likely 20%. I don't mind tipping. It's part of American culture, but the pastries are falling apart as I eat them and I'm ordering to go which means no table service, all the worker did was argue with me about how to order a bagel and handed me a few pastries she gathered. I had to wait awhile for a bagel with cream cheese and butter, a rather simple order. How the croissants flake into bits is a huge tell. I wouldn't mind as much paying a mandatory gratuity if I knew someone was coming in early that morning, shaping and proofing the croissants a final time instead of freezing them. It makes it seem like the workers here want the reward without doing the hard work. If you have money to throw away eat here, but if you want to save your hard earned money and purchase artisanal pastries in Portland you can certainly find it elsewhere and get better quality. read more

Quality bread, quaint atmosphere and decent pricing. For a small lm place they had a lot of seating. Walk or street parking only.

Tabor Bread is my husband's favorite bread, ever! However, even though the small staff is Portland friendly, it is small, too small to handle the business they have. How much could it cost the management, $20. an hour. That's one order at Tabor Bread. Anytime we go there, the line is out the door, which seems to be a thing here in Portland. However, 45 minutes plus and automatic 15% gratuity is crazy on a $12 loaf of bread, to go! Perhaps for those who are ordering just the bread 'to go' they have another line with one more assistant. Not rocket science.. If time = money, and time does = money sometimes. 45 minutes, plus $15 for a loaf of bread is more like $50 for a loaf of bread. Not sure we'll keep going back because the wait is ridiculous. However we may anyway, because Tabor is some of the best 'made fresh daily bread in Portland'... PS we're retired, yet still, who likes to wait, for bread... hummm??? read more

I must agree that the product is fantastic. But it's SO expensive. They charge 15% included as a tip. They don't tell you this. Then they have a tip basket and people do not realize they are tipping twice. This is VERY dishonest. I used to go there but not so much anymore. THey need to alert customers to the included tip and take away the tip basket. They used to tell us but no longer! Really????? read more

Loxsmith - yum. Tiramisu latte - delicious. Service - very friendly We were disappointed with the cheddar pain suisse. It had beautiful flaky layers but the overwhelming flavor was ground mustard. And the chocolate croissant - we ate through 2/3 of a plain croissant before finding the chocolate clustered at the bottom. Just expected better for the price I paid. read more

Tabor Bread - Where's the chocolate in the chocolate croissant?! - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place is phenomenal! Oh my goodness the line does not lie! Love that they do have some indoor seating and luckily we got in during a time there was space to sit inside. Ordered a donut and mom's chicken sandwich. I could have had easily ordered one of each pastry honestly. The staff was so friendly and they warned me it would be about a 20 minute wait for my sandwich and it definitely did not take that long and worth the wait. The donut was unlike any donut I've had before. Not overly sweet at all and the dough was almost like sourdough? Hard to describe you just have to try it trust me. Mom's chicken sandwich was incredible!!! Warm bread with a nice chew. Tangy cranberry sauce and potato chips inside. Game over. I can't wait to come back again and again! read more

Beware they charge an automatic 15% gratuity on ALL transactions! I appreciate the commitment to local sourcing and am willing to pay for those values but find 15% auto gratuity in poor taste. Happy to pay a higher price to help margins for a business but don't want to be forced to tip on a take home bread loaf order. There are other bread options in town such as Good Dough if you are looking to support a small business with similar values. read more

After seeing Tabor Bread on socials for the longest time I was finally in the area and decided to drop in. I ordered a rosemary garlic sourdough bread, molasses cookie, and pistachio morning bun. My honest opinion is that Tabor Bread is not my cup of tea. Compared to LA and New York I was surprised the pricing was more than what I have paid in those markets. The 3 items, plus a mandatory 15% tip came to about $26 dollars. The rosemary garlic sourdough bread was overwhelmingly rosemary flavored. I was hoping there would be chunks of garlic, but to my dismay I think I saw 1 tiny sliver. The bread lacked the flavor I was hoping for. The pistachio morning bun might have been called a citrus bun. All I tasted was citrus flavoring. The inside had a few pistachio pieces but had it not been labeled you wouldn't have known what it was. The molasses cookie was the only item I liked. It was moist and had good ginger flavoring, but a little on the oily side. I'm glad I tried them because they've been on my list however their baked goods and bread did not align with my palet. Service is okay. Nothing over the top. Nothing that would make me want to leave a 15% tip on my own. The basics of what can I get for you, thanks. read more

Their breakfast sausage sourdough brioche is one of the best bites I had in the Portland area. It is filled with a bechamel like sauce with sausage and carmelized onions. The texture of this pastry is actually insanely good and I cannot describe it here, you have to try it for yourself. The morning bun was so flaky and had a great crust with bits of dried fruit. I recommend this place to anyone in town or visiting. read more

My fiancé and I love this place. It is incredible and we cannot stop coming here for pastries and bread. It's sooo good!!

Ooooh that savory seasonal danish! It's has flaky layers like a croissant, filled w potato and topped w cheese goodness. Makes me wonder what the other season's flavors hold. Let's not forget about the bread so good they put it in their name. If you wanna level up any sammys or side dishes, you can't wrong w any of the choices. The shop is located right on the corner off Belmont w plenty of street parking around. This locale doesn't have the sit down space as the old one so I wonder if that's in the works. Staff is nice and service great. read more

Seriously a mandatory 15% gratuity for an overpriced $10 loaf of bread? I was craving some good fresh baked bread and decided to finally try Tabor bread. Saturday morning, long line and wait indicated something special. The counter staff answered one quick question on what a loaf was that wasn't labeled, was pleasant, pushed a button to record my sale and reached behind and put my $10 bread in a bag. That's it. Bread is good, not exceptional. Isn't a GRATUITY for something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service? read more

After a long wait in line (not a problem) the cashier barely gave us her attention (I was stating my order and looked up to see her not even looking at me or listening. This happened several times). We ordered items for take-away; once home, we see we were given the wrong items. And they inform you there's an automatic 15% gratuity placed on the total. If you force a tip, you should be sure you actually earn it. And to pay the prices they charge just to get something g we don't even want (??) Unfortunately, do not recommend; will not be returning. read more

BEAUTIFUL BREAD Tabor Bread is currently operating out of the parking lot behind the shop they're remodeling on Belmont in Portland. It's ridiculously expensive - $7 for a chocolate croissant! Seriously? - but it's so delicious. The croissants are light, flaky, and made with sourdough. The chocolate is premium. Loaves of bread prices are on par with many bakeries and taste even better. No wonder there is always a line whenever we come here. All kinds of tempting options beckon. Bread is the staff of life, and Tabor Bread makes it better. read more

This will always be my go-to place for bread! Their Olive and Rosemary bread is absolutely amazing--every time I fly home, I make sure to bring some for my family. The staff here are incredibly nice, patient, and full of helpful information and suggestions on new things to try. I do wish they had more seating or a bigger space, but overall, their bread is truly to die for! read more

Sourdough croissant for the win! I liked a sweet option so I chose chocolate with it. All are fresh daily as they ran out of things which I prefer as I know it's baked daily and large sizes too. I didn't ask for toasted and just assumed it was but will ask if possible next time. read more

Returned to find they've sadly left their old space, but I'm so so happy to hear that tabor bread is rolling with the changes they're going through. Happy to see them land on their feet, and in my opinion, they're just as good as ever. This time, we picked up some croissants (still the best tasting I've ever had), chocolate croissants, the oat cookie (oof that chewiness!), Focaccia and some bagels and cream cheese. First time having the bagels and boy is the texture amazing, especially the herb and cheese. It's crispy on the outside and perfectly proofed inside, giving you substantial sourdough weight and chew, yet an airiness, without losing any moisture. Perfection. Was a little unsure why they had a winter focaccia in late May though. But still delicious nonetheless. I do miss their outside tables and bathrooms, but alas. Beggars for the tastiest pastries in town, cannot be choosers. Excited to see where they go from here read more

I learned about Tabor through the Camas Country Mill website. Although I hoped to buy un-ground wheat (they have freshly ground flour for sale), this a place worth the frustrations to venture to. Parking: park a few blocks up and prep for the walk. Yesterday in the am rain, there was a line to the door but we got inside. Later the line extended down the block. I bought a butter croissant, almond croissant, ciabatta and a Flat White. The croissant is complex. It's a not a white crumb but appears to be made from whole wheat. Nice tang that I found mouth-watering. Cultured butter? I will be back. read more

Good quality ingredients, great flavor profiles with all their baked goods. A big plus is they also sell bread starters if you are looking to home bake. There were a few sandwiches on the menu and it looked really good and a grab and go sandwich which is nice if you are in a hurry. The space was great to meet up and have coffee and pastries with a friend. Also great to sit and work a little if you needed to. read more

Tabor Bread - Tomato basil croissant and sweet brioche - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I fasted for bloodwork and took my hunger for coffee and food to this famous Portland Bakery and was so happy. Fasting makes you appreciate every morsel. The chocolate croissant was made with sourdough flour. I could taste cinnamon but the star was the chocolate and flaky layers. I tried to capture this perfect croissant with my iphone and only approached the correct image. You just have to taste the perfection. I had a great baguette sandwich for my actual lunch. It was hearty and well designed with perfect grainy mustard, ham and micro greens plus tiny crunchy cornichons. The coffee was so mellow my caffeine receptors have been sated. I love this bakery. You can taste the effort to perfect the process of using flours of ancient grains. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and kind. read more

Must be fantastic if they were sold out of nearly every pastry and bread from the display case at 12 noon on a Sunday. Cute little neighborhood spot with outdoor seating and a couple breakfast sandwiches on the menu. Go early. read more

PLEASE TRY WHEN YOU ARE NEARBY! I loved everything I got (well... except the latte). Latte was just average, but the everything bagel was so good with the lemony herby cream cheese, highly recommend it. And the mountain bread! Had picked artichoke and pepper, cheese and so savory and amazing! Red wheat bread was also good, but they didn't cut the bread for me, which is a bit of work for me. read more

We started with a line out the door which is typically a good sign. Pastries were simply OK. We got a bagel with cream cheese because we are on the hunt for the best bagel in Portland and honestly it was very good. My issue with this place is the price is unjustifiably high, on top of the 15% automatic tip. Was the bagel good? Yes. But was it worth like $10? Not really. AND we waited over 20 minutes for this bagel! Two pastries and a bagel for $26... probably won't return. Cute atmosphere tho! read more

Tabor Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

we were having some friends over for Hungarian Mushroom Soup and the-woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike) thought that turkey sandwiches would be a nice accompaniment so I immediately went out for the fixins. Loved Tabor Bakery. Too many cupcake shops in the world right now and not enough places that make really, really good bread. This is one of them. I only tried the Cinnamon Sugar Morning Bun (non-gooey cinnamon roll) but if it is representative of the rest of the offerings, then this place is a gem. Enough sugar, still granular, blended perfectly with the cinnamon, rolled in an enriched dough that parted graciously between the teeth. Sometimes the quality of the dough is lost amidst all of the gooeyness of a traditional sticky bun or cinnamon roll but here it really had the chance to shine, tender, slightly sweet, just lovely. I might have chosen Rye bread for the sandwiches but it was Tuesday and they don't make rye until Wednesday (and apparently they have special days, like this coming Friday, when they make even more special breads, like caraway rye). I opted for the red wheat bread over the seeded red wheat bread because the latter does not rise as high and I wanted good-sized sandwiches. Yeasty, rich with that earthy taste you associate with red wheat (hard kernel, winter wheat), the bread was wonderfully soft on the inside with a chewy crust. I'll be back for the caraway rye in a few days, but at first visit, this is a place that I will mark on my map of sources for when I am looking for something special. read more

Tabor Bread - A small selection of pastries, some savory, some sweet, all tempting - Bakeries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Some of the pastries and bread are very good. Customer service is terrible. Very chaotic. Lot's of employees behind the counter going in circles around each other. They don't know how to manage the line of customers. Employees don't say thank you when I THANK THEM for handing me my order. Downright rude owner and employees. Now they have instituted a 15% "service charge" so they can pay their employees an equitable wage. I AM ALL FOR PAYING EMPLOYEES fairly but I think it is better to factor that into your prices so customers know the actual cost. No one likes seeing a posted price for an item and then being charged a non optional fee on top of the price. It just feels bad and weird. Especially if you are just popping in to grab a cookie, pastry or loaf of bread to take out. read more

I came twice on my recent visit to Portland, and I am so glad I did. It is super cute, friendly employees, and good baked goods. I got a tomato basil roll one visit and a savory roll on the other. Both times I got an iced coffee. You pay at the counter, have a seat if you are dining in and wait. They will bring your food out. I look forward to visiting again! read more

I came here today hoping to find challah bread or brioche to make French toast. The menu online didn't seem to show a list of breads, just daily specials so that was confusing. They didn't have either bread since it's not the daily special...however they did have several other options that all looked great. I got the oat porridge bread which I used for my French toast and I was actually extremely impressed! The bread has a nice coating of oats and the inside was extremely fluffy and tender. It worked quiet well for my French toast and didn't get soggy, but instead was cooked to perfection. Other options they had for sale was an assortment of pastries (even vegan ones!), some oats, stuffing and coffee. The dirty chai latte was made with local chai that has a spicy aftertaste. The ambiance was rustic but classy and it seemed to be very popular. I am definitely hooked on this fresh bread and it's work paying the extra money for the extra flavor and quality. read more

Their bread is delicious but I mistakenly tried to pop in for a loaf on a weekend but the line was way out the door. Which was annoying but ok I get it, the bread is good. I got to the front and asked for two loaves of bread to go and they charged me an automatic 15% gratuity. For what, putting bread in a bag and handing it to me?!? The bread is expensive enough as it is. I'll be looking elsewhere for baked goods. read more

Smoky inside the establishment. They need better ventilation in general. Extreme humidity plus smoke from their ovens doesn't feel great to customers. Also, what's up with the automatic 15% gratuity on all orders? What am I tipping on?! Counter service? Seems entitled to me. read more

They close at 2. On the dot. If you're sitting eating your sandwich, they'll be stacking chairs around you.

Will go elsewhere next time. read more

I stopped in here after seeing it on the way to Never Coffee. It was very cute and there was a visible line. There is a large assortment of pastries and bread to choose from. They all start at about $6 which is a little wild. I didn't expect to see a passionfruit donut so I got that. I came in with ambitions to find a chocolate croissant. The passionfruit donut is huge. The glaze is very sour and sweet. The bread is a bit more dense than expected but spongy and soft, more like bread in texture. The chocolate croissant looked a little burnt on the outside. It was very VERY flaky and started to lose the whole top layer when touched and took it out. It was super messy. The chocolate was not spread out evenly but bunched. The chocolate itself was a very nice dark chocolate. I wish it could've been warmed up a bit. The bread of the croissant was oddly sour. It was darker in color as well almost like a different flour than I'm used to. I'm not sure I would ever seek out this croissant, especially for $6. There seemed to be a 5% tax of some sort as well as I was charged $12.60 for two items. Would've been nice to know what that was for. Overall pretty good stop in but not my favorite croissant. read more

I can make this review one of my shortest. If you want good bread - the way to tabor bread can't be to long. (Period, I could end here).

But .... last thurs when I ordered my bread very quickly heard "we are adding a %15 on orders". Really??? And they still have tip jar out! I say NO! They have lost my business! I'v been in the tipping business, and I'm a good tipper. But tipping has gotten out of hand! read more

This place is supremely overrated. First you come in and they have bread literally right next to the line and people are brushing up against it with their backpacks or coats which is nasty. Second, the place is expensive holy moly 9 bucks for a bagel and cream cheese? Also, pastries like chocolate croissants you can just buy and make at trader joes which is much better and much cheaper. Also, the bagel was not very good - bagel was way too crispy and barely any cream cheese bleh. Anyway, it seems popular but not for me read more
