What People Are Saying About Pearl Bakery Inc

In Short – Bakery cases filled with goodies take center stage in this local darling. The wide-open, tiled foyer is more inclined to pick-ups, rather than eat-ins, although fancy footwork can gain you one of the few, prized café tables. Crispy, rich loaves like olive ciabatta are surefire crowd pleasers, as are warm chocolate croissants and moist, heavenly chocolate chiffon cake. The smoked turkey breast sandwich with Muenster cheese, creamy Dijon and roasted red peppers is a lunch standout.

Nobody makes gibassiers like these guys.

Everything about this place is amazing. The chewy, savory olive bread, the best ham and gruyere croissants in town, pillow soft petite brioche and truly great coffee....and it isn't Stumptown!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? They have complimentary parking across the street and great people watching. They also have delicious (cheap) sandwiches and they've recently added fresh, hot soup. All those old one star reviewers can go back to their Krispy Kremes and Folgers crystals...
- Pros: The fig-anise paninis
- Cons: Too many delicious options!

Best PB & J ever!

I'm not sure what others are complaining about- Pearl Bakery has fast and friendly service. Get your sandwich or pastry to go- not wrapped in plastic, but in nice white paper. Their pastries are average, but their sandwiches are sublime. Particularly the peanut butter and jelly sandwich on paesano bread. Not sure if it's the bread, or the fact that they spread the perfect amount of jelly and peanut butter, but the sandwich is so good. MMmmm...
- Pros: Complimentary parking across from bakery (in the Pearl, no less!), great food.
- Cons: Bakery can be a bit cold.

Bad Service is right!

The pastries are average the bread is good. The service is horrible it took 20 minutes for a latte and my PLASTIC WRAPPED sandwich - did I say plastic wrapped how is that gourmet. I know Portland has this whole cool crowd moving in but give me a break! I go to Three Lions now down on Nw 5th and Davis. Better pastries and better service - they atleast try there. Sorry Pearl but give me an eye roll because I ask for my latte twice!
- Pros: Nice location - that is where it ends
- Cons: quality, service, service, service
