Ken's Artisan Bakery

Very busy and warm inside, and the line moved quickly — I waited about ten minutes. I picked up a butter croissant, chocolate croissant, and almond croissant, and they made a perfect breakfast once I got home and added a little filling. I’d love to come back when I have more time and sit down to enjoy everything in the shop.

TLDR; amazing tarts, may probably have to take it to go since tables might not be available We came in late in the afternoon and just got a small mocha, an apple tart and a chocolate hazelnut tart between the two of us. We did get lucky enough to get a table because someone left as soon as we ordered but the place was absolutely FULL when we arrived! The coffee is nice - not too sweet (which is always an issue with mochas), not acidic, super smooth. Love that they have an 8oz size! The tarts were delicious too - I did like the apple tart more than the chocolate hazelnut (which surprised me) - the apple almond combination really was what did it for me! The chocolate one is still pretty nice too- again, not too sweet, very rich with a hint of bitterness. The crust on both was really good - broke easily, not dry, not soggy.

It's very close to the Washington Park and I walked in from the park. There are maybe bakeries to choose from. I like palmier so I ordered the one. It's the last one. Amazingly good. Both coffee and bakeries are reasonably priced and the staff are very kind and helpful. There are long table 8 and small round tables for two people. Big window and old fashion interior. I love here.

Our family stopped in at Ken’s Artisan Bakery and overall had a very solid experience. We ordered a variety of items to get a feel for the menu. The croissants were well-made with good texture and flavor — light, flaky, and satisfying. The ham, thyme, goat cheese, and Gruyere croissant in particular was excellent and stood out as the best item of the visit. I had the tuna salad sandwich, which was very good. The addition of pickled onion brought a bright, sharp contrast that elevated the whole sandwich. We also tried the grilled cheese, which was just okay — not bad, but something we probably wouldn’t order again. The pumpkin macarons were a hit with the kids, and we took home a few extras. One of the highlights for me was the coffee — genuinely some of the better coffee I’ve had. Rich flavor, smooth, and well-balanced. The only real drawback was the customer service, which felt a bit impersonal and transactional. Not rude, just not warm or welcoming. More of a “big city, stay in your lane, order and move along” feel. If you’re looking for a cozy, friendly small-town bakery vibe, this is not that. If you want excellent baked goods and quality coffee, this place delivers. Would return, especially for the croissants, macarons, and coffee.

This bakery has been on my favorites for a while and I finally got around to trying it. It definitely lived up to my expectations. I got the seasonal vegetable quiche and it was soo good. My friend and I both got the Oregon croissant which was delicious. The ingredients and bread here are so fresh. You walk in and it smells amazing. However, it was definitely busy and had a line around 9:30am but I would wait for another pastry here anytime.

had to wait 10-15 minutes to order but it was ultimately so worth it. we had a couple savory pastries: the cheesy, salty, unctuousness of the gruyère and ham croissant as well as the goat cheese and leek pastry and both really hit the spot. soft and flaky and a good balance of sweet and cheesy and herby. very good. also had a beautiful fresh tart!

Stopped by on a holiday for a bit of coffee and the hope of eating something delicious from the display case. While food was not to be - unless bread alone would suffice, then a handcrafted coffee became the tasty treat. The staff is positive and helpful. The space is cozy, by that I mean close quarters in a good way. If you are not vegan you are going to love the pastries and treats they offer! So many and so beautiful! If you are vegan they have a selection of breads to tempt you… My coffee - a latte with oat milk, a touch of their house made vanilla and cinnamon. The wait was a bit long but worth it as the coffee was hot and drinkable while being totally delicious! The four stars is because I felt left out of tasting the treats that made my mouth water just from looking at them

Came in on a Monday morning, first time we ever saw the full collection on shelf. Returned on a Friday morning, the line was from outside of the store! My favorite bakery in town. Love the berry Oregon and savory cheese &leek croissants. Bead loaf was legit too. Be back soon!
