Award-winning bakery for bread, pastries & chopped sandwiches
"A bakery partly owned by ChefStable with growing wholesale accounts, it is expanding its on-site production facility, a project that drives the temporary downsizing and rebrand of the Lil’ America pod and will enable a larger menu at the Dos Hermanos café on site. The adjoining Fracture Brewing taproom will be converted into a retail space for the bakery, and beer will shift to a new Fracture cart in the pod, with the overall cart pod poised to become an extension of the bakery." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
"Celebrated as part of a wave of Latinx bakeries that Portland was already ahead of the curve on, this bakery’s breads and pastries frequently show up across the local restaurant scene and are worth a dedicated trip for the chopped sandwiches. On a breakfast/brunch visit the reviewer loaded up on "conchas as big as your face," jam-filled cruffins, and almond croissants alongside a shockingly large half sandwich on a soft sesame seed roll. The Bada Bing (Italian meats, provolone, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes) is noted for "a nice balance of mustard, mayo, and vinegar." The chopped sandwiches are "assembled just behind the counter using a mezzaluna to slice and dice the meat, veggies, and sauce into a delightful salad that delivers a bit of tangy, spicy everything in each mouthful;" the hoagy-style roll is described as "quite literally overflowing, and you’ll want to fork up the rest off the wrapper." The reviewer also grabbed a pullapart sourdough loaf to go, which made for good snacking the rest of the week. — Brenna Houck, cities manager" - Brenna Houck
"Although Dos Hermanos Bakery is less restaurant, more bakery — as the name already states — it’s still a spot worthy of this list. Portlanders may know brothers Gabriel and Josue Azcorra for the wholesale ciabatta and baguettes they provide to other businesses, but there’s more to explore at the flagship. The Azcorras are also known for their Yucatecan pastries, such as sweet-and-savory hojaldra, plus a variety of conchas and cajeta puffs. It’s one of the few, if not only, places where one can grab both a berry Danish and a cream cheese and jalapeño hojaldra. Online ordering is available."
"Last year, this bakery owned and operated by the Azcorra family moved from its original location on N. Williams Avenue to its current space, which is quadruple the size. While diners may be familiar with Dos Hermanos’ breads as the buns on Portland burgers or sliced sandwich loaves in the market, the bakery’s pastry case is stocked with Mexican pastries like colorful, crunchy-topped conchas and savory hojaldras, alongside chocolate cheesecake muffins and lemon poppyseed scones. Chopped sandwiches, available by the half or whole, come in varieties like roast beef with horseradish and warm feta with chickpea." - Michelle Lopez
"I learned that brothers Gabriel and Josue Azcorra began selling breads and pastries under the Dos Hermanos name in 2018, building a following for their sweet-and-savory hojaldra and specialty loaves studded with beans. In October 2023 the bakery relocated from North Portland to Southeast to anchor the Stark Street Chefstable complex (also home to the Lil America food pod, Fracture Brewing, and Cache Cache) and moved into a new 7,500-square-foot facility—quadruple the original size and featuring its own grain silo—which has allowed them to scale production to roughly 18,000 loaves of ciabatta per week. On December 22 they opened a cafe space that sells bread and serves Yucatecan pastries, Tostado Coffee Roasters coffee, and chopped sandwiches from Lardo’s Rick Gencarelli; the bakery is baking 16" plain and sesame baguettes exclusively for sandwiches such as the Papa Gabe (ham, escabeche, queso fresco, salsa verde, chicharrones) and the Beast Master (roast beef, horseradish, chips)." - Janey Wong
