On Saturday morning Josh and I had an appointment in Portland and we decided to head down there early to grab some coffee. We had recently been to Salt & Straw (the best ice cream, if you didn't already know) and noticed that there was a new bakery that opened up next door. We thought it would be fun to go there since it reminded us of the bakery's that we went to in Germany. In Germany we loved walking down the street from Jon and Tasha's to get our morning pastry. Yum!
Josh and I had our little coffee date and I happened to have my camera, so I snapped a few shots. Sorry if I make you drool! If you are in the Portland area, just try it once for the
experience.
The place is Saint Honore Boulangerie.
Josh's coffee.
And his pastry. It was Apple Toast or something like that.
My vanilla cappuccino. I love vanilla cappuccino's, but there are very few coffee shops that do a good job of making them just right (sorry Starbucks, you are not one of them). This one passed the test. It was delicious.
Then I walked around and took pictures of the delicious looking pastry's.
I had one of the croissants on the bottom left. It was just right.
We loved the pottery. We asked if they sold it, they don't. They use it for their restaurant.
I'm happy we don't live close by, otherwise I would be there all the time. It is a little on the more expensive side, but it's fun for a treat and for us to reminisce of our trip to Germany.
You can also order lunch items and there is another area, I think it's the restaurant, that you can sit and watch the bakers.



They have another location in Lake Oswego I've been too. So yum! I may have to go back soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to go back so bad! I have to make myself have self control. ;-)
