St Honore Bakery

the food is great there is a large "communitty table" although there are many pastry choices I like the small brad rolls displayed on thje right as you enter. the coffeen is great and at least one refill is free, I have had no problem with the service. You do have to wait in line fopr a few minutes to place your order, but after that your order is delivered to your table if the item(s) take time to prepare.

the staff is friendly and competent, there is nothing to complain about!…

Correction to croissant75. This is directed towards croissant75. I am the owner with my husband Dominique and I have not worked or served a customer since September 2005, so your comment was not directed at me, rather one of our employees. I stop in every day to get a coffee to chat with our employees and regular customers. I am sorry that your experience was not a good one; but guaranteed, if you would have been served by me, you would have experienced that "kind" French culture and more. Best. Stephanie Geulin…

Busy, tasty, popular. There's a reason why the lines are always long here and it isn't because Portlanders have nowhere else to go. I live in The Pearl and there are several fantastic bakeries here, but when we want a longer walk to work of the calories we hope to consume, we do go an extra ten blocks for our puff pastry.

The coffee and coffee drinks are good and the sandwiches are also very good. It reminds me of my favorite San Francisco la boulangerie bakery and the offerings are similar, but contrary to what some people here have described I've found the servers and food prep people to be very kind and helpful. I really have no criticism at all except that it is crowded and I sometimes wish more people would believe some of these negative reviews so it would be easier for me to nab a table.

I notice that most of the bad reviews are from people who only reviewed one place: St. Honore, and I wonder why that is, since most real reviewers review many places, but it takes all kinds, right?…

why the hate?. I was surprised by all of the negative reviews-- my experience has been quite the contrary. I always had good service when coming here, and was even able to come here with my parents and autistic sibling and without any hassle. The atmosphere of the place is fantastic, if crowded. My friend from Brittany in France loved it, and said it was exactly like bakeries in her homeland. The bread rolls and pastries are simply delicious, and their coffees come brimming in oversize bowl-like cups. I make the journey all the way from southeast Portland and this place is always worth the visit.…
