I really like their bread, bagels, and sandwiches here. Coffee isn't great and their pastries are hit or miss for me. There are a few other things that knock this down from a five star experience. Their supply is totally unreliable. I have come in after 12:00 and they have not had their sandwiches ready for the day and quoted another hour. When I drive across town to get sandwiches and they haven't even made them for the day.... I'm just confused as to how this even happens. And it's happened multiple times. But then sometimes you come at open and they have sandwiches. Their supply of bread and pastries is also totally unreliable, as in they will sell out sometimes within an hour of opening. So if I come early, I can't get sandwiches, but if I come late, I risk them being totally 100% sold out of all bread and pastries? I've journeyed to the storefront probably a half dozen times now and walked out empty handed. This is just too unreliable for me. Lastly, their prices are just too high. They ask for tips AND have a mandatory health insurance charge that is a % on all items. So not only are the items priced pretty high, but the prices advertised aren't even ultimately correct due to fees on top. You basically don't know this until / if you get a receipt. They also don't have a bread slicer or a way to heat up quiche. There are too many awesome bakeries in Portland to keep coming back here. I want to love Tabor, but I just don't read more

I stopped by Tabor Bread during a lovely morning stroll in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood. Tabor Bread offers some of the most deletable pastries I've laid my eyes on. They offer sourdough croissants that provide a unique take on the classic go-to and a breadth of danish and savory pastries. I tried the chocolate sourdough croissant, passionfruit bun, chocolate chip cookie, and grabbed a black sesame loaf for the road. The passionfruit bun might be the best sweet I've had this year, perfect balance of sweet and savory. The bun didnt skimp on the filling, which is a great thing because the passionfruit filling was outstanding. In addition to great pastries and ambiance, the service was great. The folks working there will do their best to help you decide on which items to get because you are going to struggle to make a decision and want to buy everything. Strongly recommend. read more

Fantastic bread and pastries! Great service, as well. Tiny bakery but well worth a visit.

We came late so they' were out of some stuff but the bread bagel sandwiches were excellent. The service was outstanding. I can see why they are so busy. read more

If you love bread, this will be your temple. Piles of bagged flour everywhere. Beautiful bread loaves. I split a sandwich with my girlfriend. Crusty baguette lettuce, a soft cheese and tomatoes. The veggie sandwich that was ready to go. Delicious. I bought a country loaf that kept well for a couple of days. read more

SO GOOD. An unassuming bakery near the tail end of Hawthorne, Tabor Bread may not seem like much, but their all-natural leavened sourdough breads and pastries give the more well-known bakeries of Portland a run for their money. I came on a late Tuesday morning, and they were still pretty busy! While most of the customers took their orders to go, they offer indoor bar seating and picnic tables outside. I LOVE sourdough, and I opted for their breakfast bagel sandwich on a sesame bagel. I also got an oatmilk cortado (they feature Push and Pull coffee!) I do feel however their prices are a bit steep compared to other bakeries in Portland (hence, minus a star). The sandwich was $14 and the cortado was $4.50. The bagel was so good! I don't like dense bagels, but Tabor Bread delivered! Tangy, chewy, not too dense, nor did it taste just like bread in bagel form, it had a nice crunchy exterior loaded with sesame seeds, they nailed it. The eggs and bacon provided a texture contrast and were not overly salty. The cortado was smooth, but the espresso was a bit bitter. Not sure if I would get it again. I'll probably stick to their baked goods next time (their cakes and pastries looked absolutely divine!) If Tabor Bread isn't on your next carb venture, add it to the list!! read more

Hm. Tried the blueberry cream cheese danish ($6) and the ham and cheese croissant ($7.50). Really pricy and all too sour. Not very balanced pastries. Ham and cheese croissant: 2/5. The cheese spread inside made the pastry almost gummy/mushy. The cheese choices are too acidic for the acidic dough. Blueberry cream cheese: 3/5. The cheese is sour, the dough is sour. Sadness. When I eat a danish or croissant, I expect the butteriness first and followed by and enhanced by flavor. Unfortunately, I feel that these pastries were not balanced...the sourdough component was too strong, they were not flaky nor buttery, the flavors didn't enhance the pastry and the sourness really overtook the pastries (and I'm usually a fan of sour). Unfortunately, these were the 2 things they recommended. Maybe my experience would have been different had I tried their breads instead. read more

Overall, very good pastries and bread in part because they use great grains. Occasionally they have an off pastry that I don't enjoy. I really like their bagels. Their new location doesn't have a bathroom and you can't get anything "for here" aka on a plate or in a real coffee mug. I don't really like getting my pastries or coffee to go. There's always a long line and even longer wait to get prepared bagels. I would probably give them 4.5 stars if it wasn't for their insane prices. They also add a 5% charge for "health insurance" for their staff. I really hate service charges. Just ask the price you need and let consumers decide. And then they ask for tips on top of it at the end. 2 breakfast bagels and 2 pastries easily end up being $50. If money was absolutely no object and you don't mind getting things to go, then fine, 4.5 stars. We go to Ken's instead. read more

Walked over on a Sat and got fresh bread. Nice We went looking for the Walnut cranberry bread that they said they had that day, but they did not make it. So if you're looking for a specific bread, you might want to check first. read more

Until you have eaten the bread at Tabor Bread, you have not had real bread! This is not your fluffy-processed-white bread. Loaves are made with various grains and the textures and flavors are nothing less than exquisite. Crunchy crust, chewy inside, dense - amazing. Forget that old saying that man (or woman) can't live on bread alone. I think I can live on Tabor Bread! If I had to pick a favorite bread, it would be the fig walnut swirl. It's more like a desert than a bread! To be clear, it is not super sweet. It's dense with a crisp crust and swirls of figs, cinnamons and walnut. Perfect balance. I first tried it at the Hollywood Farmers Market and have been hooked on Tabor Bread ever since. They also make a dense bread with coffee that has chocolate chips. Another winner! When I buy a loaf of either, I cut it in thirds and freeze so I can have some on a whim. In addition to bread, they make scones, muffins, quiche and cookies. The buckwheat chocolate chip cookies with sea salt are divine. It was my go to at the Farmers Market until one day they were sold out and I had to settle - or so I thought - for a Crunchy Chocolate Rye Cookie. OMG! Whoever thought of putting rye and Millet seeds in and on a chocolate chocolate chip cookie is genius! These cookies are decadent. The perfect balance of chocolate and crunch, flavor and texture. They are definitely on my "last meal" list. I can no longer wait for Saturdays to visit their booth at the Hollywood Farmers market and make the trip out to their shop/cafe. I often buy a half dozen of the Chocolate Rye cookies for dinner parties. I heat them up in the microwave before serving. They have turned every chocolate chip lover into a Cruncy Chocolate Rye Cookie fanatic! In addition to buying bread and pastries, there is a cafe where you can have sandwiches, quiche and other bakery items. I haven't stayed for a meal but it's always full of people. The building is charming, storybook-like, and there are several outdoor tables in sun or shade. Go! Eat! Best bread in Portland or anywhere! read more

A $16 breakfast sandwich? Bread and egg? Why not just round up to twenty and forcibly add a 25% gratuity? Goodbye.

Great selection. Tasty breads. I drove into Portland to check this out. I was not disappointed. Pleased. Many vegan options. The bread I purchased toasted nicely and had great flavor. read more

I love their breads! Love their interesting focaccia combinations, and their sandwiches. They also have a tent at my local farmer's market.

I really don't get it. Bought a loaf and some rolls for a thanksgiving dinner. The loaf was ok but nothing I'd write home about, and the rolls got passed over for regular bagged ones from the grocery store. They were very dense and chewy and difficult to eat. For the price you pay and the hype I really expected it to be better. I think getting bread from here is more of a status symbol move than anything else. read more

The bread is good and it uses natural yeast and local ingredients. That's about where my positive feedback ends (no small praise tho for those good things though, BTW) after about 3 months of getting bread from them. The service is lackluster, many items are grossly expensive and the hours, inventory and website are all lacking. Basically if you want a loaf, prepare to go early because they sell out quick, have to wait in a long line and then sit and wait even longer which makes no sense, aren't the loafs just on a shelf to grab down? Then once you get said bread you have no idea what's in it because there's no information anywhere on their website or in store even though they could literally write it by hand and tape it to the wall (@Tabor bread: that's right, a few of us actually care what we put in our bodies, especially when it costs 5-6 x other similar foods). All while likely watching at least one staff person seemingly standing near the register not doing anything. !! read more

This is a review of Tabor's bread. I got the $8 olive rosemary bread. Not so much rosemary in a sourdough loaf. It doesn't have the steam crust of Pearl or even N. Seasons. The location is cute and the staff was solid. Bread is disappointing. read more

We stopped by during a road trip through Portland. The building was being remodeled and they had set up a canopy with coffee and pastries. The almond croissant was amazing. The sour dough base and their overload of almonds made the croissant creamy and nutty. We will for sure be coming back, hopefully when they are back in their building. The food was amazing and the staff happy and super friendly. read more

I've been there four times. Service still hasn't improved. I love bread. I really do. From a bread connoisseur's perspective, the bread is decent and good quality. However, the restaurant experience part of Tabor Bread is not worth the visit. Service is slow. I heard, "I'm sorry for taking so long" at least five times I was there. That's not what you want to be hearing when you're waiting for food. Most items are pricey for what you're getting. When I saw the portion size, I was like, "Really? For real?" If you've got some time to kill and like bread, then check it out. However, if you've got a life or have things to do, this might not be the place for you to get some bread. Just go to Pearl Bakery or a supermarket that carries a wide variety from local bakeries. Look at Jim S's review. Couldn't agree more. I can't believe people call this place their local hangout spot. read more

A great bakery serving the locals in the area. We stop here whenever we are in town. The have a wonderful old hearth for a brick oven(12+ feet wide) and it sets the mood for enjoying baked goods and a good cup of coffee if you choose to hang out. I walked away this morning with a butternut breakfast cookie that was absolutely awesome - savory, mildly sweet, covered with fresh sesame seeds, and a pull/break apart dough layered with butternut flavor. The sourdough white bread loaf was crusty and chewy on the inside. They even grind their own flour - come early - first come first serve for the selection that dwindles during the day. read more

Tabor Bread is located near the very quiet end of Hawthorne Blvd. I wouldn't have looked for it if it wasn't for Yelp. The building itself is adorable on the outside. The atmosphere is comfortable and laid back. The staff are friendly and the food is simple yet delicious. The star here is of course, the bread. I had the white wheat batard and it was perfect. Chewy and slightly crispy crust with soft middle. If you want to try their sandwiches, get the tomato-onion jam, with goat's milk feta cheese and sprouts. Yum! read more

PIZZA NIGHT (Sunday) Clusterf*#~! If you're gonna have such a night then be prepared. Nice counter guy was overwhelmed. I'm experienced enough as a diner to recognize disorganization and it was evident tonight. They forgot our entree salad. We were attracted to the nice little sign offering $3.75 slices, but then we're told no slices were available except for the basic Margharita. Then the wait was expected to be 20-25 minutes. In the end Pizza was average, nothing memorable. However, the Carot Salad was excellent! Staff was nice. For the premium prices I expected so much more. BREAKFAST Super cool space with a great balance of drinks, baked snacks, and hearty items. The quality is a cut above most other-like places, but you pay the price. I'm a magnet for breakfast sandwiches, so it's not an overstatement they their small biscuit concoctions are great. Unfortunately, they're quite small and priced at $7.50 minimum. Friendly staff, fairly good parking, understated. A winner. ...and they're one of the few vendors at the Hollywood Farmer's Market that frequently doesn't give samples. An air of snobbery about them for sure. read more

Not impressed at all. The bread itself is OK, not as good as some other bakeries in town. It costs double or triple what those bakeries charge. If you want a sandwich or pastry, it's going to have some weird ingredient on it that'll ruin the taste, just for the sake of being weird, I guess. Again, those things are also wildly overpriced. They seem more concerned with being a hip, trendy destination than in serving good, tasty food. read more

I was really hoping to love this place, and the location is perfect, but it was pretty underwhelming. Our family tried various items and the bagels were definitely the best of what we had. The olive rosemary loaf was fine, but the brine overpowered everything else. The seasonal focaccia was so extremely salty that I think someone messed up the recipe. Everyone in my family tends to like salt and none of us could eat it. We threw away almost the entire thing. I was hoping the doughnut would be amazing (especially given the price), and it was pretty average. Definitely not worth the price. Overall, Portland (and most cities) just have significantly better options available (often for a lower price), so I doubt we'd return. read more

Wow. This place smells amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Super cute. Food was delicious.

The folks at Tabor Bread put real craftsmanship into their baking. Their attention to detail really pays off. In addition to the obvious quality of the baked goods, I'd like to point out what they did before even opening the doors. The building had been there for quite a long time, and they did a renovation that included removal of the old flat roof, and the installation of a beautiful pitched timber frame roof. You can enjoy both the view of the beams and the flavor of their food. This is a terrific addition to the neighborhood. Oh - keep an eye out for their stuff at the Hollywood Farmer's Market on Saturdays as well. read more

Delicious croissants, bread and sandwiches...everything is quite delicious and the people are kind!

Their new space is nice. Not much for seating but the baked goods and yummy bread make up for it. The Anadama Bread was rustic and the first I'd seen since my Mother baked it years ago. But that brown butter crumb topping on the squash muffin divine. salty and crunch. Can we have a whole pastry of that, please :) read more
