St. Honoré Bakery SE Division

"I have fond memories of Portland’s best beet salad at St Honores. After a long time I was enthused going back today but got a little salad in a cheap plastic bowl like take-out at Safeway or somewhere. I called and employee said he’s sorry but that’s because their plates too small. I recall nice presentation , in bowls maybe. But sadly, past tense now."

"Nice selection and variety of pastries and drinks. The pastries/croissants would have been better if warmed a little before serving. The eclairs were different flavors, but they each tasted the same - not great. The staff were really nice. The art details are lovely, and the ambiance relaxing. Everything was clean, and the bakery smelled lovely."

"The food is great and there is a lot to choose from. Their espresso drinks are also good. The ambiance and seating leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't choose to come and stay here. I would just pick up some snacks for shopping or on the way to the office."

"I preordered a Galette des Rois for pickup. I lived in France for a few years, so I was really excited to get to celebrate this tradition with my family here in the US. The galette was delicious. The crust was well done, with plenty of flakiness and buttery goodness. There was a nice layer of marzipan in the middle. We did not choose to cut the bottom to put in the feve, but instead we just snuck it into my kid's piece while he was distracted. He is two, so this was an easy thing to do. He absolutely loved finding the feve, which was a little porcelain pitcher marked 'lait'. He insists on calling it his 'petit coffee'. The crown has also been a fun touch and again my kid put his spin on it by insisting that he was 'la reine'. It was so wonderful to make memories with the family and to eat a delicious pastry. While waiting in line to pickup, I looked around a bit and was impressed by their selection of patisseries and viennoiseries. I purchased one salted carmel macaron to try - it was delightful! Such a flavorful little morsel with excellent texture. Fun fact - macarons were first made in Nancy, France by 'Les Soeurs Macarons'. I will definitely be back to try more."

"Impromptu visit suggested by family who live locally and was very impressed. Planned on just getting a coffee and one pastry but couldn’t resist trying more. The quiche mushroom and leek was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. The provenance panini was simple but flavorful. The honey mocha took awhile to get but was worth the wait. As for pastries: the canelé, Black Forest, and gâteau au chocolat were melt in your mouth delicious. However, the chassons au pommes were too flaky and broke apart quickly which made it too hard to eat. Very few and small tables made it hard to relax and eat but the food was worth it. Next time we will get it to go. The staff members were pleasant and eager to answer any questions."
