Highly recommended if you are a Patisserie kind of person, which i am proud to be!
This bakery/cafe is really big, with lots of window seats. They have an enormous kitchen which means they can bake anything in house.
Their pastries are made with hormone free milk, locally made butter and dairy products, flour from wheat farms in Washington state, and the best quality chocolate, fruit and nuts.
We went a couple of times to this beautiful bakery. We had cinnamon crowns, which is like a very light and flaky cinnamon roll, with little bits cooked together, which resembles a crown. Fruit tarts, brownies and Gibassier, which is a bready type donut, with dried fruit and fennel seeds baked inside.
In France its a Galette made with fruited olive oil, star anise, candied orange peel, orange flower water and dusted with bakers sugar.
I had two Rugala's they are my favorite. Its a little Jewish pastry (Rugelach) with a cream cheese dough, rolled up, with pecans currants and cinnamon sugar.
I mean really this place has something for everyone. They do fresh made sandwiches as well, with fresh bread, natural meats, imported cheeses, organic local greens and home-made spreads.
We went to Pearl on our last day, i got a latte and Joe got an Americano, very good coffee, my latte had a pretty heart in the milk and espresso, it was nice and hot, just great.
Pearl Bakery also supplies their bread to numerous of Portland's finest restaurants.
They open at 6:30am on weekdays, so they are available for those that are up that early or on their way to work.....
